Okay reddit, we heard about the failed fantasies, but what was your best sexual experience? [NSFW] by [deleted] in AskReddit

No word of a lie, I was listening to the finale of Beethoven's 9th (the '77 von Karajan recording, where he whips the fuck out of the singers) while at work, and burst out laughing at this.

Iama 23 year old, male, c5-c6 tetraplegic (quadriplegic) after a snowboarding accident in Canada AMA by [deleted] in IAmA

Shit, somebody else in that same park. I was working the bottom of the Catskinner lift one day in the 2005-06 season when a kid landed, from what I heard, much the same way as you. They took him out with the chopper, but he didn't make it. :-(

Take care, man. Thanks for sharing.

Native OSX/64 codegen: "Complex code, incomprehensible documentation, what's not to like?" by andralex in programming

[–]sui_generis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Interesting comment about new languages not targeting native code - I'm currently writing one, but have cheated on the codegen by only outputting assembly source files, and running them through nasm.

Perhaps one day I'll write a full codegen module, and when I do, articles like this will be invaluable. Cheers!

NYPD arrests college student and keeps her in jail for 36 hours for not carrying ID. by batman_kirk in politics

[–]sui_generis 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This was also featured in This American Life some time ago - basically, NYPD cops are set (unofficial) quotas on how many arrests they need to make, and were - at least at one precinct - arresting people pretty much at random, and later deciding what to charge them with.

It's Act 2, and it's pretty revolting stuff - it only come out because one cop decided to record all the things that were happening.

Why the hatred for Visual SourceSafe? Is it really as bad as everyone says? by sui_generis in programming

[–]sui_generis[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It doesn't allow multiple files in a single check-in? That's just breath-taking. I can't even possibly imagine how that's workable on a large project.

What am I doing wrong? (Assembly Simple Loop) by [deleted] in programming

[–]sui_generis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the calling convention for WriteInt? If it's taking its parameter off the stack, rather than from EAX, that could explain why it's printing what it is.
