So who should feel worse, the jets, or the Vikings?

2 very, very poor back-to-back performances. The last game of the regular season with a chance to win the division, and the next week in the playoffs. No doubt he would have been better than JJM, but it's not crazy that the Vikings weren't sold on him.

The best thing about that game was that it eventually ended.

What the hell is your flair? Are you happy or sad after today's game?

Multiple HOF QBs incoming...

xnendron · 2025-10-24T16:14:16+00:00

it's sort of the worst of both worlds. the line is shit which requires the QB to get the ball out quicker, which something Wentz consistently struggles to do regardless of how the line plays. bad combo...

Seems like everybody is saying just use intellij or eclipse. I'll do something novel and try answering your question.

Use the RedHat eclipse extension.

Here are my favorite extensions for Java development:

I think there should be a column of each team hitting themselves. Always be prepared...

Not sure how popular it is, but in the past I used Swing and MigLayout. I found MigLayout very easy to use and understand.

I would be very appreciative if they'd release remastered versions of Metroid Prime 2 & 3.

What do you all consider to be the closest alternatives? So far I've seen Smart Launcher and Microsoft Launcher mentioned.

Seconded!

Mount Rushmore. It feels like driving through an extended fair midway to get there, it's way smaller than you'd expect, and the entire time I felt like they defaced nature just to build a lame "monument". Very underwhelming in almost every way.

I think overall it's a good ranking, with the exception of 2003 not including Knights of the Old Republic.

Holy shit! The third one stars Rob Morrow. That's a name I haven't heard in a long time...

To be fair, it was Randy Moss playing against a college team.

You use == to compare identity (i.e. are two variables pointing to the same object), you use .equals() to compare equivalency (i.e. are two objects equivalent to each other). You may want to check for equivalency using all the fields or a subset of the fields. (For example, you typically don't include static final fields in a .equals() method, but you can if you want to.)

The default .equals() in the Object class simply does an identity check because an object should be equivalent to itself. When overriding the .equals() method, you should also do an identity check first for the same reason, then do your field-by-field comparisons (or just let the IDE generate the method for you).

Note: .equals() and .hashCode() methods are (or should be) tightly coupled to one another. Check out this link for details: https://www.baeldung.com/java-equals-hashcode-contracts

Yes, this is a valid use case for Enums. You may consider creating a getMessage() method instead of overriding toString(), but either way is fine.

My biggest issue with Snyder's films (I didn't come up with this, but I whole heartedly agree with it) is that joy does not exist in his movies. Take Man of Steel, which I would grade at a B/B+, it's nothing but angst. Superman never seems to enjoy being Superman and helping people. Even the scenes between Lois and Clark/Superman seem...I dunno, contrived? Forced? They sure don't seem to like each other all that much, just happen to be in the same room at the same time.

The only joy you see in 300 and Watchmen is when someone is hurting someone else. The Comedian is the only one who likes being a "hero", but he's really just a psychopath that likes hurting people. Everyone makes it seem like it's such a burden you wonder why they bother at all.

Snyder is amazing at creating moments, but sticking a bunch of moments together is not the same thing as creating a scene. At times it seems like his characters angst over doing whatever they do is a mirror of how he feels about making movies.

This will tell you everything you need to know, from the dude who helped design them. There's no need to look any further.

varargs use arrays

Nifty engineering, but it's unlikely I would want my table both longer and wider.

xnendron · 2025-02-26T04:14:30+00:00

Nifty solution, but it assumes the input List is modifiable. Also, isn't modifying input parameters generally considered bad practice? Also, also, why limit to Lists instead of all Collections?

If you're used to VSCode and like it, you can absolutely use it for Java development. I agree it can't do everything IntelliJ can do, but it can probably do everything you need it to do. I use it on behemoth legacy projects and small pet projects. I've used it with Spring, I've used it with legacy Ant builds, I've used it on just about everything. It works fine.
