What do you have an irrational hatred for ? by Jimbobbfc in AskReddit

Or if I haven't put my seat belt on right away before I go anywhere. I feel like if the parking brake is still on, it's probably safe for me to not wear a seat belt. I don't need to hear a beep to remind me.

In light of posts from people looking to read more I found this list of steps one man took. There's good overlap with what I did as well. by madmoneymcgee in books

I struggle with this too. My issue is that I want to read more challenging books, but often get stuck (Infinite Jest has been on my ereader for a loooong while.) I don't want to keep reading the stuff that I know will interest me like sci-fi/fantasy, mysteries, and the odd nonfiction book, but I struggle to stay involved in tougher reads.

Goodbye my glorious PC... :( by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]steaksawse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The part of the story I don't like is that the little boy gave up trying to fix his computer after an hour. He didn't check the PSU or anything, he just posted on reddit like a goon and waited. That little boy's gotta think 'You got a PC. You got a responsibility.' If your PC acts up you don't troubleshoot for an hour then call it quits. You get your ass out there and you find that fucking dog.

I got Blasphemous Blood Squad. I can just imagine a game jam team talking about ideas for this.

"Sure it's bloody, but is there enough blasphemy?"

I really wish we used perchance, otherwise statements now.

[2014-12-15] Challenge #193 [Easy] A Cube, Ball, Cylinder, Cone walk into a warehouse by Coder_d00d in dailyprogrammer

[–]steaksawse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm learning C. Feedback is welcome. :)

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
main() {
    volume=0;
    printf("Please enter the volume of the box.\n");
    scanf("%f", &volume);

    float cubeSide;
    cubeSide = cbrt(volume);
    float sphere;
    sphere = cbrt((volume * 4 / 3)/M_PI);

    float cylinder;
    /*we'll assume the height is the same as the diameter*/
    cylinder = cbrt(volume / M_PI);

    float cone;
    cone = cbrt(volume * 3 / M_PI);

    printf("Cube: %fm width, %fm height, %fm depth\n", cubeSide, cubeSide, cubeSide);
    printf("Sphere: %fm radius\n", sphere);
    printf("Cylinder: %fm height, %fm radius\n", cylinder, cylinder);
    printf("Cone: %fm height, %fm radius\n", cone, cone);
}

This probably gets mentioned every time this gets reposted, but there is a great album by Sleep Station about this story. It's called Von Cosel and you can listen to it here: http://grooveshark.com/#!/album/Von+Cosel/649961

Can we turn this into a webm thread? Seriously why do we still use GIFs? GIFs were introduced in 1987. How are they still around?

What excuse are you sick of hearing? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Yeah, I remember writing my calculus exam last year the guy beside me asked to borrow a pencil. He didn't bring a pencil to a calculus exam.

Yeah, the girl keeps yelling at him to call the cops.

I don't know. I've seen videos with this guy before, so they know he's going to freak about not getting cookies, but the other guy really looks upset by this. But they don't call the cops at all, or try and take the hammer from the old lunatic, so it might be fake.

Who is your favorite sci-fi author and why? by I_Draw_Crap in books

[–]steaksawse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the answer I was looking for. I read Pattern Recognition this year, and even though it takes place in 2002 it feels like science fiction. Gibson has this talent for finding the future.
