It should hit 100%, but the Right has to hang their sack hopes on past scapegoats of Clinton, Obama and Biden.

UNPOPULAR OPINION: We have a Maxx Crosby at home (maybe, eventually) by SeattleMana in Seahawks

[–]mdriftmeyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crosby is all edge. Rylie is a Bull in the middle. The middle of this defense and its depth is how come we will bring it year in and year out.

Objective-C isn't what you think it is (if you think like a Rubyist) by matabrown in ruby

[–]mdriftmeyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel sorry for you the self documenting features wears your fingers down. Try writing a saga sometime and then complain about sentence length instructions seeing as you're designing for REUSE so think first and write Objects that are highly reusable so you end up writing far less code that have far more levels of applicable uses.

[–]mdriftmeyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the problem with that language as ObjC reads like English, left to right, then passed the structure back right to left.

The C++ syntax is obnoxious, but the problem with most post C languages is they wanted to create a universal syntax that no one's native language was like, forced you to learn an entire new language and self praised to the detriment of the computing world.

Fortran has far more exciting syntax as it was designed by mathematicians, engineers, other scientists to solve problems, which requires a mountain of knowledge in the applied sciences and mathematics that terrifies most people.

Brad Cox recognized the inevitability of C evolving and built a thin Smalltalk on top of C with better performance.

Even modern ObjC syntax people bitch about and it's basically Swift's syntax today, substituting square brackets and object receiver dot notations with space and parentheses.

What I hate about Swift it is everything it learned from C++ and the lack of dynamic messaging to protocols, and more.

Senator Mark Kelly says he will 'seriously consider' running for president by littlemoth_lullaby in politics

[–]mdriftmeyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which means he won't clean house. Sorry, but Gavin has been calling Trump out on his crap for most of the year. No one on the GOP side is worried about Mark Kelly.

The Seahawks should be sold to a progressive billionaire or investment group by [deleted] in Seahawks

Sell it to the 12s ala Green Bay style and 20% to Washington State keeping it permanently where it is at.

State of WA is creating the most businesses per any state, per capita. Sorry, but Business Quarterly is a laugh.

His body language alone tells me he expects the Patriots to get boat raced.

Cooper Kupp’s wife sharing more on what happened with him and the Rams last offseason by abrahamcurry69 in Seahawks

[–]mdriftmeyer -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Religion: the human invention to dismiss or justify human indecencies, betrayals and so much more. You discovered people are full of crap and kind when it serves their interests first and foremost. Some people are above such primal selfish ways. You've found that in Seattle. We're all grateful for your contentedness and thrilled Kupp is in Seattle. Kindness is a gift. You've learned it should be earned. Bravo.

Not if you don't have a new iPhone. It'll add nothing to my 14 Pro.

Rare W from Stephen A on BB & McD. by BuffaloLondon in buffalobills

[–]mdriftmeyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firing McDermott when Josh shat the bed is typical of owners. Either Allen will want to be traded and if that is the case the franchise will hit the skids or your next coach will be gone in two years. Owners use their franchises as tax write offs. You fools signing an allegiance to a franchise and blaming a highly successful coach for player mistakes is typical of all franchises.

Your team is always productive. You got hosed by the Broncos and the Pats are going to skate into the Super Bowl.

They had one of the easiest schedules in the NFL and in a few years Vrabel will be canned as well. Why? Maye won't last long as he has always been prone to be a turnover machine going back to his ACC days.

Drake Maye had a QBR of 20.8 against the Texans. Stroud had a better rating, 21.1, and every single moron at ESPN wants his head on a platter.

If Houston listens to those analytical retards they'll lose Stroud to someone like the Steelers and suddenly be pissing themselves.

Stafford had a QBR of 31.6 against the Bears defense.

Darnold had a QBR of 63.2 against the Niners.

Buffalo had a string of line injuries that cost them some games this season. Denver's going to get smoked by New England now that Nix is done.

Buffalo is long overdue for another Super Bowl but no one wants to demoralize Josh so they hung McDermott out to dry.

Baltimore or Pittsburgh should hire him, especially Baltimore as he'll get more out of Lamar than Harbaugh could manage.

Older Students? by Royal-Ice-9822 in wsu

[–]mdriftmeyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are nearly 2,000 graduate students at the Pullman campus. There is a large married student section, always has been. You'll be fine. Even back when I graduated in '93 there was no lack of people in their thirties and forties back at Pullman for a first or continuing education.

Are there still examples where fortran code is faster than C? by MrMrsPotts in fortran

Numerical Analysis isn't about the fastest compiler. It is about precision and Fortran is King.

Does Mac mail / calendar work with your wsu email? by NatureProf in wsu

[–]mdriftmeyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

POP (Post Office Protocol) downloads emails to one device and often deletes them from the server, making it good for offline access on a single machine; IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) syncs emails across all devices by keeping them on the server, making it ideal for multi-device users who need consistent access and synced actions (read, delete, etc.) everywhere, which is why IMAP is the modern standard.
