@ElendilTheTall These things are really easy to lay aside. I've had a few scares until now, but luckily it was indeed at work, or wherever I thought it is.
@rumtscho I think I'd put it in the vertically-aligned breast pocket of my coat, but neglected to zip it up. It was pouring with rain, so I had my arm holding an umbrella, and out it slipped
Actually, we developers should be on the list too, but she is the primary admin, and getting a mail with a stack trace is probably not funny.
And I don't even know what happens to the whole thing when the database connection, the smtp connection, or the configuration file parser throws an error.
But even if you make something else, the simple syrup idea isn't bad. You can start with the original cocktail and then add increments of syrup until the sweet-sour balance is exactly where you want it
Something that tastes like cigars and armchairs. But straight whiskey tastes like fire and death. I don't want fire and death. I think my brain is having synesthesia to deal with stress.
I started with Thus Spake Z-however-you spell it, which made me think of the William Tell Overature, which made me think of the Tchiachovskey (don't ask why, I don't know), and now the dance of the sugar plum fairies is stuck in my head.
@derobert to let smartasses know that the thing they are just about to get their knickers in a bunch for is explained somewhere else in the same book. I have known people who cannot let a conversation go on without pointing out "but this detail can also blah..." and all of them are programmers, so this is good for them.
Should look like this:
class Number
{
public:
Number& operator++ () // prefix ++
{
// Do work on this.
return *this;
}
// You want to make the ++ operator work like the standard operators
// The simple way to do this is to i...
@derobert I think that in Ruby, you can assign whatever function you want to an operator. Just like in C#, I can override the ToString method of my object to delete everything in the database, in Ruby it is possible to assign the database deleting method to the + operator, so typing 1+2 deletes the database
For example, I have a hilbert space class for games, that supports multiplication by an integer, or adding two hiblert spaces of the same dimension. Stuff like that. I guess techincally they are tensors, but who thinks that way?
@derobert I don't remember the rules, although 20 years ago I was certified to teach C++/ Wise programmers don't overload operators unless they really are implementing something very close to their natural meaning.
@Francisco Noriega Try "Bread: A Baker's Book of Techniques and Recipes" by Jeffrey Hamelman. It's probably the most in-depth bread book I can think of, with lots of technical details etc.
@rumtscho The straw and the cherry give it away. Not to mention the... erm... milk shake glass :-) None of those things would be present for hot chocolate, a fine winter's drink in its own right.
@sourd'oh I think the answer is 'no` unless they came to the room themselves within prior 24 hours or something like that.
I think I lost a lot of classic 80s and 90s cookbooks in the Great Basement Flood. But since I never used them anyway, and google recipes on the internet, i am not sure how much I should regret that.
@sourd'oh yes, Bread Baker's Apprentice by Peter Reinhart. It is gorgeous for somebody who wants to start loving to make bread - both the writing style and the eye candy.
@SAJ14SAJ I don't have the cake bible. Between Death by chocolate and Corriher's books, I have more recipes to try out than time and eaters to make cake.
By the way, that chocolate layer without the eggs is still in the fridge for drying out. I planned to recycle it into rum balls, and haven't found the time yet.
Two out of three of our active moderators are activists to including everything. The third will react badly to the stupidity of the question. So I suspect my answer is safe :-)
@sourd'oh Ah, I only read the new one, since it wasn't that interesting to me :-)
I have never been a popcorn fan. I don't know why.
I loath the smell of microwave popcorn. One of my two "just because i said so and I am the boss, dammit" rules when I owned my own company was no microwave popcorn.
Should look like this:
class Number
{

Number& operator++ () // prefix ++
{
// Do work on this.
