Here's a video of a friend and I getting into lots of trouble on GTA.

It does contain some language so I am posting the link in this here code block.

My brother said so many times but I haven't had the time to play it. I haven't even finished Mass Effect 2 that I started years ago. Really should complete it and 3 before 4 comes out. TOO MANY FREAKING AWESOME GAMES TO PLAY AND NOT ENOUGH TIME!

Speaking of awesome games - I finally bought Kerbal Space Program last night!! I obtained it a couple of years ago but after playing it for half an hour I knew I couldn't keep playing without buying it to support the devs, and deleted it (if a game is worth my money I won't play it until the devs have my money). Only now have I found the cash to actually buy it and BOY did I forget how awesome it was! It's the perfect blend of realism and game balance My current goal (in sandbox, never tried Career) is to get a modular space station into geostationary orbit. I have a small satellite with a docking port already up there, but I didn't think to try to achieve GEO until AFTER I'd launched it.

And 1.0 brings so many really cool features, like the ability to carry quite a large satellite inside the nose of a bigger rocket

EDIT: Oh, and we realised you can search "drill stand" on eBay and get a useful device for vertical, accurate drilling for $40, so hopefully that'll be here today and I'll be able to continue my 3D printer buildering

Play it now, it's amazing. I played through twice and saw three endings (all games should have quicksave / quickload). When you do play it, play through high chaos first, you'll feel better about yourself playing low chaos afterward.

I'm stealing your method for using __FILE__ and __LINE__, that's something that hadn't occurred to me. Thanks!

Two things:
1) Does it really make sense not to check for NULL in release mode? Out-of-memory errors aren't only prevalent in debug builds.
2) What is your method for forcing malloc() to fail for unit testing purposes?

The code using MEM_ALLOC(X) is still going to check for NULL.

I really should get into the whole unit-testing thing, but it's pretty difficult to do in games. At least the checking of correct output is anyways.

What is unit testing?

---------------------

Yay my drill stand finally arrived! Typically Chinese - no packing whatsoever with parts just loosely sitting in the box and nuts and bolts falling out to rattle around freely. Luckily all the parts were there. Seems pretty solid, though. Excited to try it out on the first wooden part of my 3D printer (really gotta make that 3D printer thread!)

---------------------

Our sisters (we have three, but in general I mean the two older ones - our youngest sister, Tabitha/Tabs, generally gets left out of the games we play because she insists on being incredibly annoying to all of us) don't have any money (or very little) and we wanted to play GTA V with them (not really suitable, they won't be playing the story mode yet, but... meh, there's nothing the game can teach them) for heists and generally messing around so my brother and I just spent another $70 each to buy GTA V for them. Now we're cannibalising a few different unused computers for parts so Jess has a powerful-enough computer to actually play (Alex has a pretty fast laptop already).

GTA IV (which has no DRM per se so we didn't have to buy multiple copies) was already ridiculously fun with our sisters so I can't wait to play GTA V! I think the apartments feature is going to play a big part

It's a component of what's called Test Driven Development(TDD) where each piece or module of code can be tested for correctness via test harnesses called "unit tests". There's various approaches in regards to the granularity of the code tested, to even the rigorousness of the tests performed.

Yup, that happens when I explain a lot in a short time

Quote: "So you have four siblings?"


Yep We have friends (who we've known for more than 12 years) down the road (although they're actually moving in a week or two) who are a family of 11 (2 parents and 9 children). The oldest is 17, youngest is about 1.5 (I think - they have so many children I can never remember their ages).

See Parentheses go! Run, Parentheses, run!

Ah, ok. So TDD works best when code is highly modular? I imagine that's the sort of system big companies would use before releasing a new piece of software or an update. Make a change to a module > run that module's unit test > release update.

EDIT: I heard that sending a fax is unusual in the US. True? It's common practice to use fax machines in Australia.

Faxing is one technology I wish would either die out completely, or at least made to be FASTER to send/receive. I occasionally have to send faxes at work (order invoices, MoneyGram reports, memos, etc.,.), and it is not uncommon for the process to take three minutes or longer. Completely ridiculous in 2015!

Ugh. Just finished having a totally pointless argument on Facebook about whether the Biblical flood could have happened. The guy on the other end was an idiot and didn't understand any kind of physics whatsoever and in the end resorted to insulting me. He wasn't even trolling. I wish I'd stuck to my rule of not arguing about my beliefs on Facebook. It's pointless, wastes your time (in my case a couple of hours) and neither side will change their mind.

Quote: "It's not like you're involved in the process, can't you just let it do it's thing and crack back on with what you were doing?"


That's what I was thinking. It's not hard. Place paper on platen. Dial number. Press ok. Wander off to go wipe down a bench or get a coffee. Come back and remove paper from platen. If faxing multiple pieces of paper, place paper in feeder on top so it can automatically send many pages without user interaction.

Quote: "it's a waste of paper, toner, and money. very little reason these days not to just scan and transmit digitally."


Except that it's a tonne more fiddly. Emailing photos is annoying. And isn't paper biodegradable anyway? I never understood the whining about using too much paper.

--------------------

So this is the view I have right now from my computer. I should really do something about it. Anybody else totally freaked out?





Oh, and I never get around to changing the month on my calendar

Sure, because the trees used grow back really fast. Explode out of the ground the next day, they do!

I'm really not an environmentalist at all, but I do try to limit my usage of paper a little bit so as not to encourage excessive use of slowly regenerating resources. Although heck, one tree probably produces several dozen reams of paper. So not a huge deal then.

Well if you aint gonna use the calender, kill the spider with it!

EDIT

That feeling when: you feel like posting something new in the Posting Competition, you reload the board, and see "Latest Post at xx by your name".

Editing, then, shall have to do. Or a payment of half of your points. But who's counting?

Right, what I came here for. I wanted to make a terrible joke.

Today, I performed plastic surgery! I had to cut a piece of plastic wrap off a pan of brownies to get to said brownies, you see. Then I carefully replaced the plastic. Thus, plastic surgery. The brownies now look better than ever.

That's what plantations are for. I wouldn't have thought we could possibly be using paper faster than we could grow it given we can just plant more trees.

My own friends hate me worse! There have been days where I have made three or four bad puns in the space of around 10 minutes. I am not on good terms with them on those days.

Legitimate question: Why do people hate puns? Like Clonkex's reaction to my "terrible" pun was typical, and I know it was a terrible pun, but, psychologically speaking, why are puns terrible?

Quote: "I wouldn't have thought we could possibly be using paper faster than we could grow it given we can just plant more trees."
That's probably true. I have never researched the subject. Really, the main concern of cutting trees is deforestation (not for paper, for other purposes), which happens at a high rate and carries no intent of replanting. So yeah, lots of paper usage really can't be that bad.

I have a friend on Facebook who constantly posts clever puns, but because they're puns I usually end up torn between trying not to groan myself to death and liking the post because it was funny. In other words I have no idea why puns are so groan-worthy.

Quote: "Really, the main concern of cutting trees is deforestation (not for paper, for other purposes), which happens at a high rate and carries no intent of replanting."


I totally understand that. I'm generally not one to care much about the environment. Sure, I'll try to recycle whenever I can and I would never intentionally damage the environment (tipping barrels of petrol into a rainforest, for example), but I don't really care if my car emits more CO2 than a cow (or whatever it is they're saying now). In fact, I'm helping the rainforests grow by driving! Anyway, I do agree that mass deforestation isn't a great thing.

---------------------------

Right! Time to kill that spider.

15:08 - *stands frozen and terrified with flyspray in one hand and a flyswat in the other*

15:17 - *sprays spider*

15:18 - I was right!! It's SO MUCH WORSE with the spider invisible in the hanging jackets! He fell off immediately when I sprayed him...

15:21 - Phew! Thank goodness huntsman spiders like to be 'up'! He climbed back out!

15:26 - I performed the Christmas-tree move on him (where you spray him so long that he turns white with flyspray) and he scrabbled about for a few seconds and then ran up the wall, onto the window and promptly fell and died. Unfortunately I was actually using surface spray and will have to wash my jacket now. And my wallet. Threat removed.

My concern with waste is more in the nature of the monetary expense

My office has a xerox machine, connected to our network and email server. Scanning to email works exactly the same as running off a copy (load document on tray, push a button) except you select a recipient address which is then emailed a pdf instead of printing a photocopy. It takes all of 10 seconds with nothing fiddly about it

Plus it stays in color without the ridiculous cost of color toner.

If we're talking a simple flat bed home office scanner, that's more fiddly sure, but most businesses will be using professional grade equipment.

Ah, now THAT I can understand!

Quote: "except you select a recipient address which is then emailed a pdf"


The printer itself does the emailing?? Well that would make it way better than faxing.

Quote: "If we're talking a simple flat bed home office scanner"


I'm talking about our MX870 all-in-one printer. It has a platen (naturally) but it can also scan via the... err... feed thing... you know, the rollers that feed in papers one at a time? So it's not the actual scanning that's fiddly, it's the attaching to an email and manually sending that's fiddly (as well as the fact that our printer refuses to send a scan over the network so we have to transfer it via a USB drive). But it wouldn't be half as bad if the printer itself could email the scan.

-------------------------

Who else randomly does a Sean Connery voice? What about the landlady from Spaced?

I've been called in to watch a movie. I believe it will Spaceballs, which I like but haven't seen for years

Yes, I meant unsure.

Also congrats on killing a poor harmless spider.

He was not harmless. He was causing me great distress. If I see a spider outside the house/bus, I normally leave it alone. They're disgusting creatures but they're helpful and good. If, however, they dare to venture inside, they will invariably meet their doom. Spiders are extremely unwelcome in our living areas. And before you say it, you've got buckley's of getting me to catch and release the spiders. The way I see it, if they got in here once, they can do it again.

I was kidding. I hate spiders personally, and and and if I have one in my room I have to terminate its existence before it gives me a heart attack. They can get pretty big here, but luckily none of them are dangerous (not that the venom is the part that scares me).

GOD I HATE SPIDERS SO MUCH!

I seriously feel like I'm going to fall into a fetal position each time I come across one, they give me the willies so so bad.

Thank you, I'll be here all week!

If I had my way, people should be noob slapped for puns...oh yes, I can do that, nevermind then. Is it worth the abuse of power? Probably, but I don't have the heart to be mean to Dr Zoidberg.

I have mixed feelings about spiders. If they are near me, but not too close, I am usually alright with them. If they are too close, I will make an effort to move them away. However, if they get on me, I actually do quite legitimately freak out. The other day, I was getting ready to brush my teeth. I had picked up my toothpaste tube, and as I picked up my toothbrush, I spotted a spider on it. Not certain what happened at that point, but my toothpaste tube ended up across the room, and I couldn't find the spider anywhere.

I usually try not to kill life of any form if I can help it. About 6 months ago, there was this one beetle that was always in the shower. Each day I would take my shower, and he would always be somewhere a little different. Some days I watched him migrate a slow journey of three or so feet. Eventually I named him Freddy. One day, after he had been around for a month or so, he began to trek across the shower stall as I was taking a shower. For some reason, he jumped or slipped, and landed in the water. Concerned, I took my comb and placed him up on the side of the tub, but sadly it was too late.
