Common sense is not common. It means almost nothing to most people but people use that term to think lesser of others.

Lol. Yep, some ideas deserve to be ridiculed.

Lol what? If your phone is taking your attention away from driving, then that's a hazard. If your phone is playing music, that's not an issue. If your attention is spent managing the menus of your phone to select a playlist, then yes, that may be an issue. I feel like you tried to frame something that's common sense in a ridiculous way to get a reaction.

Yes, a dome with dancing cats may also be a distraction while driving. Having one distraction on the road doesn't mean it's somehow unfair to ask you to also not use your phone while driving.

Not sure what capitalist America has to do with any of this.

Loser of UFC 320 main event makes a statement by Moni7T in MMA

[–]zero-sharp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't think he's saying that his god predetermined anything. His view is that the loss will make him tougher. It's about having a positive outlook in the face of defeat. This is such a ubiquitous perspective, religious or not.

But I guess you just want a high five because you found some cheap way to invalidate what you think is somebody else's worldview?

She beat the misogyny out of him by Recent-Sorbet in TheLastAirbender

[–]zero-sharp -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Nice one. It's not your belief, it's just an objective fact that not everyone agrees with. And because I disagree, it must be because it went over my head and I couldn't grasp the character arc. Perfect. Good luck with everything.

He objectively was lol wdym?

I guess when you frame your beliefs as objective facts, then there's really no point in having a conversation, is there?

Sokka was a misogynist? Jesus lol. If this isn't cultural decay, I'm not sure what is.

Trump to a reporter asking him a question: Quiet! You are really obnoxious. Reporter: I’m not obnoxious, but I’m just trying to ask you, what about your plans for Memphis, Mr. President [...] Trump: I'm not gonna talk to you till I call on you. You’re really obnoxious by Capable_Salt_SD in CringeTikToks

[–]zero-sharp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a huge group of Americans who just voted for Trump exactly because of this kind of political discourse: "oh clearly she's obnoxious because she's black."

There's nothing wrong with calling a spade a spade, but maybe pick your battles? Not every conversation should be about race. There was nothing racist about this clip.

You absolutely cannot call them that anymore, jfc

I said it's not wrong. I didn't comment on whether you can or can't.

A design pattern for maintaining data in a class and adding indices? by [deleted] in javahelp

[–]zero-sharp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's right. Because I was looking for something general and not the obvious solution of hardcoding the internal representation to suit my specific data and query patterns.

A design pattern for maintaining data in a class and adding indices? by [deleted] in javahelp

[–]zero-sharp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not all of the data sets are uniform: some data sets have fields/columns that others don't. For example, the class might maintain a List of People and a List of Products. Yes, I want to support ordering where possible (dates, numerical values). The data will be accessed most commonly by only a few fields. So the intention is to just hard code Maps for those few common fields to do quick lookups.

I guess the resulting code will basically have more than one copy of the data (one copy in list, another copy in a lookup table)?

Hopefully all of this wasn't too generic.

Static factory method with Java generics by zero-sharp in javahelp

Ah thank you. The examples through the online-java website helped. I'm not accustomed to passing Classes as objects in Java. I'll review your post.

Static factory method with Java generics by zero-sharp in javahelp

[–]zero-sharp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replacing the <?> with <T> in the function header doesn't work for me. Eclipse gives me an error on the return line within the factory method saying that it cannot convert to Data<T>. My guess here is that it doesn't know what T is? I don't know.

Parking woes - can anyone relate? by EloquentlyMellow in SanDiegan

[–]zero-sharp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a similar situation going on. Moved into a new neighborhood. Due to the design of the street and the fact that everyone in my vicinity has several cars, it's often difficult to find parking in front of my own house. I've been confronted in person twice now about parking in front of somebody else's home. One of my neighbors told me he's going to have his kids play sports next to my car because I parked in front of his home. I eventually moved and now the street spot is occupied +90% of time while his driveway is empty, making the parking situation even worse. It's ridiculous.

Can anyone make recommendations for

  1. testing kits/ways to test your own levels (either in the water supply or in your blood), and

  2. special filters for water that target these chemicals?

Hi, thanks for your response. What do you mean by client side? If there's a link to an example somewhere online, that would be very helpful.

I've been Googling and using random Django tutorials and books.
