Hint: The appeal of truck simulators is one of those things.
 
@Sterno It has a lot of radio options.
 
If you really like driving trucks so much, try doing it for a living.
It's pretty good pay.
 
@fbueckert If the game is to be believed you can make over 100,000 euros a week!
 
@StrixVaria When my dad was doing it (and this was over a decade ago), he was making ~99 cents a mile.
Which, if you're doing that for 12 hours a day, is nowhere near 100K a week, but it's still decent cash.
 
Then the only thing I don't understand is how there are no questions yet.
 
8:02 PM
@fbueckert That's really good honestly, but like you said nowhere near 100k/wk.
 
@StrixVaria I doubt anyone not an executive can bring home that kind of change.
 
@Sterno Because it's
 
That would explain it

Q: Need help building laptop ready for school, gaming, and production with limits

Gage HogenboomI have some computer knowledge, more software then hardware if you know what I mean. So I'm getting a free computer from my dad through an airmiles program and its not the best but its a very easily upgrade-able computer. I have limited information at the time but hopefully you can help. I have ...

 
@badp See? They hate me.
 
8:12 PM
@Sterno "Q: How do I truck? I keep trying but everything just explodes"
 
user20683
@BenBrocka Stop Playing Big Rigs and go get a real game.
 
@BenBrocka "A: THIS IS NORMAL AND AWESOME!!!! BUY TORGUE!!!!!"
 
EUROTRUCK SIMULATOR TORGUE EDITION
3
 
@BenBrocka I would buy that.
 
YOUR TRUCK IS JUST ACTUALLY A GIANT F%&%#%$ EXPLOSION
 
user20683
8:16 PM
@BenBrocka Explosion Truck sounds like something out of Axe Cop.
 
@Sterno YOU LOOK LIKE QUITE THE FOOL NOW HAHAHAHA
 
FAE
@badp It's Jim Guthrie, so totally worth the purchase for me
 
Gnome's back in five days?
 
You'd think he'd've learned the first time.
 
@fbueckert I have come to the conclusion that you give people way too much credit.
 
8:27 PM
@StrixVaria Most likely, yes.
 
@Ullallulloo Winter @GnomeSlice is coming.
 
I've been writing code for 15 years and I still can never remember if I want to use i++ or ++i
 
@Sterno Solution: don't use either.
Except in a for loop.
Where it doesn't matter.
Amended solution: Don't use them in bigger expressions.
 
I usually end up using them when mocking things out for unit tests
 
I use +i+
 
8:30 PM
I should be clearer. I always sort of remember. And it turns out I'm correct. But I have to check to make sure every. damn. time.
 
That's a thing, right?
 
@Sterno For bonus points use both on the same line.
 
user20683
@OrigamiRobot not exactly
 
user20683
+i++ is
 
@WorldEngineer IS TOO!
 
user20683
8:31 PM
@OrigamiRobot prove it
 
int i = 0; return i++ + --i + i + ++i + i--;
 
user20683
@Sterno 0
 
@WorldEngineer Undefined*
 
user20683
@StrixVaria true
 
user20683
though it's semi implementation dependent
 
8:32 PM
It could return 0.
 
String i = "your";
System.out.println("In" +i+ "face");
2
 
Languages use those differently? Jerks.
In C#, that evaluates to 2.
 
user20683
@OrigamiRobot doesn't work in isolation
 
user20683
you implied it did
 
@Sterno Depends on where it runs. It could return something else on a different machine even in the same language.
 
user20683
8:33 PM
+i+ by itself is invalid.
 
I never imply anything.
 
@StrixVaria I don't see how.
 
At least, that's true in C++. I don't know about C#.
I think C# uses some kind of pseudo virtual machine thing.

Q: What levels do each armor tier drop?

theJollySinI have had extremely varied luck with armor drops on my various characters. And so, I find myself wondering: at what levels are each armor tier supposed to start dropping? For instance, if you wear plate armor, you will see these different tiers drop: Iron Chainmail Steel Azurite Sylvanite Pri...

 
user20683
@StrixVaria CLR "Common Language Runtime".
 
8:35 PM
I'm pretty sure it's always going to evaluate the same in C# and C++
otherwise code everywhere would be breaking right now
 
@WorldEngineer All I said was I use it.
 
156
Q: Could anyone explain these undefined behaviors (i = i++ + ++i , i = i++, etc...)

PiXint main(int argc, char ** argv) { int i = 0; i = i++ + ++i; printf("%d\n", i); // 3 i = 1; i = (i++); printf("%d\n", i); // 2 Should be 1, no ? volatile int u = 0; u = u++ + ++u; printf("%d\n", u); // 1 u = 1; u = (u++); printf("%d\n", u); // 2 Should also...

@Sterno It's specifically undefined in the spec. Relying on it working the same way every time has the potential to cause your stuff to break.
Don't use multiple ++ or -- operators on the same line.
 
user20683
I use Python
 
user20683
it doesn't have ++ or --
 
@WorldEngineer One of my favorite things about Python.
 
user20683
8:37 PM
and Haskell uses ++ to mean concatenation.
 
I always liked +=
 
user20683
+= is nice
 
user20683
|= is...weird
 
Don't even know what that is.
 
@WorldEngineer Why is that weird?
It's no different than doing something = thisBit | thatBit
 
user20683
8:38 PM
@Powerlord just hadn't encountered it before
 
user20683
say it in the Poignant Guide to Ruby and was like "hmm"....
 
@Powerlord I think you mean something = something | thatBit
 
@StrixVaria Well, yeah, but I was just pointing out that it was the | operator and not || more or less.
 
In a high level language, if you're using | or &, you're doing something wrong.
 
@StrixVaria Nah, you use them for flag options that can be combined sometimes
(but it's rare)
 
8:41 PM
 
@Sterno Ugh libraries that make you do that.
 
yeah, pretty much.
 
eyes C#'s [Flags] enum attribute
 
Or if you're processing raw data with an algorithm, and it's specifically doing bitwise stuff. But that's kind of a special case.
 
FAE
Some friends of mine used to have an IRC bot that tracked "karma" of terms, so you could say "bacon++" if you felt like praising the virtue of bacon and increasing its karma score.
So ++ and -- are associated to that in my mind.
 
8:42 PM
I can't stop listening to this
 
@StrixVaria Now I'm trying to find out what would happen in C# for that.
Though I honestly can't think of any reason anyone would ever write such code except to be a dick.
@spugsley I know, right? Bieber rules!
 
@Sterno :/
 
@spugsley is an avid Bieber fan.
14
 
I'm starring that and now it's out of context and everyone thinks you love Bieber
@OrigamiRobot NO
 
@Sterno Yeah, I'm not as familiar with C#. I haven't even used C/C++ in years. At work it's all Java.
 
8:45 PM
I have an interview with Barnes and Noble now too
 
@WorldEngineer Hm, I hadn't ever heard of that before either
Makes sense, though
 
though I did already get the job for Books A Million

A: How do Prefix and Postfix operations work?

Mark Byers In C# the operands of + are evaulated in left-to-right order. In C and C++ the order of evaluation for the operands of + is unspecifed. For C# your examples work as follows: y = x + x++; ^ x is 1 ^ x is increased to 2, but the postfix increment returns the old value (1) y = 2 ...

 
Cool! It's actually explicitly defined.
 
Oh my god it is so much hotter in NYC than W. Va.
 
8:46 PM
@Sterno I still agree with this.
@LessPop_MoreFizz But it's not West Virginia and therefore better overall.
 
@StrixVaria this is mostly true, but god damn, 105 degrees sucks
 
I think today's supposed to be the last day of the heat wave.
 
Well, I think I caused Mr. Linux-TF2 to quit the site.
Ah, well, them's the breaks, I guess.
I'm the pedant? I mean, sure, I am a pedant, but with the edit you just made ... Enjoy your town, Sherrif. — hunter2 7 hours ago
 
@StrixVaria No, tomorrow is supposed to be hotter than today.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I hadn't checked the weather since Sunday, so I was a bit out of date.
That sucks, though.
It's way too hot out.
 
8:51 PM
@fbueckert You seem heartbroken.
 
It's 97 here today, supposed to be 96 tomorrow.
 
@Sterno Not really.
 
This is saying hotter than the other source, up to 100 tomorrow.
Temperatures shouldn't have 3 digits.
 
@StrixVaria If you guys would use a sane measuring system, you'd be dead long before it hit triple digits.
 
8:53 PM
@fbueckert Then you agree with me.
 
@StrixVaria I never hit triple digits.
We don't even get near.
 
@fbueckert Then you agree with him.
 
I use a binary temperature system.
It pretty much amounts to "stay inside" or "you can go outside for a very short period".
P.S. - The sun is trying to kill you.
 
The sun is my archnemesis.
 
8:56 PM
We need one-box support for thefuckingweather.com
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Get out of there!
 
@OrigamiRobot Luckily, it's hometime. So I'm now going to ignore you for half an hour or so.
 
I don't know why, but I have the Zelda: A Link to the Past credits music stuck in my head
 
8:57 PM
sigh Infestation/WarZ is in the top sellers.
 
@fbueckert Eh?
 
FAE
@spugsley Dangit, I wore a tank top today and my bra strap was not completely underneath the strap of the tank and now I have a weird tan line that has sunned parts showing between the tank and bra strap. :|
 
ahem
 
@FAE happens to me all the time...except with a burn :/
 
FAE
@spugsley I didn't even mean to get sun, I was just sitting on my balcony reading today! :( I've only sunburned once in my life, luckily.
 
8:59 PM
@FAE I hate you.
I burn so easily.
 
FAE
@spugsley I don't even care about being tan, but if it's going to be there, I don't want weird uneven bits!
 
4 mins ago, by StrixVaria
The sun is my archnemesis.
 
@FAE uneven bits are never fun
 
FAE
@OrigamiRobot Woo Korean genes!
@spugsley Jochem said, "Obviously you'll just have to sit out there naked to fix it" and I was all >_______>
 
@FAE :o
 
9:01 PM
@OrigamiRobot I'm largely Irish.
 
FAE
@spugsley My balcony is not private enough for naked sunbathing.
 
@FAE I don't know if any balcony is private enough for naked sunbathing....I don't know why it just seems like a bad idea/accident waiting to happen
 
FAE
@spugsley If you live on a high enough floor and have screens around your railing, it's possible to do so without getting like, arrested.
 
I burn like Triethylborane.
 
@FAE perhaps. But my mind is like...what is there is a sky diver and he gets off course and he lands on your balcony. Crazy enough on it's own...but now add nudity. Now extra crazy
 
FAE
9:04 PM
@spugsley If a sky diver was precise enough to land on my balcony without killing himself, hell, I'd say he deserves the view. :P
 
Best solution is to do the New York thing and just say fuck it and sunbathe topless in Central Park.
 
@FAE hahahahahahaha
I'm sure this is the subject of a porn somewhere
 
FAE
@spugsley If it isn't, it totally should be.
 
I'm 12 and what's this.

@StrixVaria what are you talking about?
 
9:11 PM
Summer tips to beat the heat: Spread rumors about the heat. Report imagined suspicions about the heat to the government.
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
 
@StrixVaria Whhhhhyyyyy is this bad?
 
@RedRiderX Because the book is good.
 
FAE
@StrixVaria I don't want to see this at all.
@StrixVaria I'd much rather have book 3.
 
9:15 PM
@StrixVaria OMG OMG OMG WHAT OMG WHY
 
@StrixVaria Yeah I guess, but did the GoT show ruin the books?
 
@RedRiderX Was the GoT show made by Fox?
 
@StrixVaria Wait wut
...
 
@StrixVaria 20th Century Fox != Fox.
 
@StrixVaria omg why the fuck would they put it on Fox?! HOW IS THE FOX APPROPRIATE?!
 
9:16 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz That's stupid.
 
Like, yes, the same corporation, but that doesn't mean fox 5.
 
Noooooooooooooooooo
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh wait yeah.
 
I still don't trust it.
 
Need I remind you people that 20th century fox has produced such magnificent television as The Shield?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz bleh

Q: Can I remove add-on cubes from my weapons after leaving the dialog?

Ian KWhile playing Cube World, I stopped by the customization bench to upgrade my boomerang with my brand new fire spirit and 10 wood cubes. I left, and went to the Identifier to identifier some leftovers, only to find a better boomerang inside! Therefore, is it possible to remove the cubes from the ...

 
To say nothing of Archer, Justified, Sons of Anarchy, ALways Sunny in PHiladelphia...
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Always Sunny is the worst ever.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz wait. Oh. I guess there is hope. I'm getting my Foxes confused
@StrixVaria what...is wrong with you
 
@spugsley Every character is deplorable and all the same as each other.
 
@StrixVaria that's the point
 
9:18 PM
At least in Arrested Development the writing is brilliant to make up for it.
@spugsley It got old after 1 episode.
 
@StrixVaria you get old after one episode
 
Not only that, but 20th century fox television also produces shows that go on other networks because the studio != the networks; i.e. How I met Your Mother, Modern Family, and so on and so forth.
Television is complicated, but all you really need to know is that '20th century fox' the studio doesn't really mean anything about the sort of network or lineup it will end up on.
 
FAE
@StrixVaria I'm not super fond of it either. When Jochem watches it, I just watch along out of Trainwreck Syndrome.
 
and quite frankly, has produced more groundbreaking, boundary pushing, risk taking, rule-ignoring television studio that isn't HBO's in-house people.
So, I mean, yeah, feel free to hate on it because you don't want to see tv shows of the book you like (though I will mock you for that because I think it is a generally silly position), or because of the people involved if you don't like them, but not because it is 20th Century Fox, because that is a flat out unreasonable and irrational conclusion based in no sort of reality whatsoever.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz why are you taking this so seriously?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz bahahahaha
 
okay this is ridicolous
 
so I'm kinda tired from my being sick Yesterday so I bring the laptop to the bed at perhaps 10pm and fall asleep almost immediately
 
Homing go time!
 
9:28 PM
I wake up thinking, damn that was early. Oh well I have a Whole new day ahead!
...and it's 11pm of the previous day.
 
FAE
@LessPop_MoreFizz I know nothing about this game. Enlighten me!
@badp oops
 
this sort of never happened to me
but blergh. hi people of yesterday.
 
@FAE Think Twin Peaks, The Video Game.
 
FAE
@LessPop_MoreFizz I have never seen Twin Peaks so this doesn't help me much.
I also expected that game to be much older than it is, given the strength of your recommendation, for some reason.
 
@WorldEngineer is it you who works for Barnes and Noble?
 
9:33 PM
@FAE It is basically an open world horror game set in a small town that is incredibly fucking weird.
 
:10401592 oh ok. I have an interview with them on Monday apparently
 
FAE
@LessPop_MoreFizz ...the hell
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz OMG

DEADLY PREMONITION FOR PC
I CAN FINALLY PLAY IT
 
9:40 PM
@FEichinger if I'm not wrong, the game's made by Macha of Macha the Gaming
 
@Mana IT'S HAPPENING.
 
user20683
What in the blinding uncanny valleys is going on?
 
It's a dude who's been doing mods for TF2 like the Wario Party "conversion"
 
typically he hacks a version together and publishes it. It's buggy but it's the final public release
then he fixes bugs and puts it on his server
 
FAE
9:41 PM
@badp Seriously?
 
if I'm not wrong
@Powerlord probably can confirm or deny
 
@badp It has me very curious, at any rate.
 
uh I might've gotten the "Macha" part wrong
oh well. I've "just" woken up :P
yeeeeeeeep
Mecha, Macha
l'è stess
 
FAE
@LessPop_MoreFizz the... the music after he takes a bite...
 
@FAE The whole game is like this.
 
FAE
9:46 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz It's just this kind of... awkwardly weird atmosphere
Like there was a bad translation but for like... all of the dialogue.
 
it looks like a gmod movie - with an actual budget
 
Boo. Anyone got an extra Reus, Bioshock, Tomb Raider, or Torchlight card?
I have a few extras to trade.

Q: How to get or unlock misc items if they exist?

QuinmaWhen choosing the weapon layout for a class there are 3 panes. 1 primary wep, 2 secondary wep, 3 misc. On the 3rd misc item panel there are normally items like shields and smoke bombs. With a crossbow man for example the third panel ONLY has a tower shield and a lot of locks. Do these locks o...

Ugh, I need a bigger HDD for my games.
 
oh lord
you owe it to yourself to download the euro truck simulator demo, then do the 1km tutorial mission
 
@FAE delete some of your pron?
 
WITHOUT using auto parking
 
@badp ô.o
 
10:12 PM
 
you would think that going from here to the white dotted area would be easy
but at least I gained a lot of respect for truck drivers in the progress :P
 
FAE
@Blem Would that it were that easy.
 
@badp I'm fairly certain that's how it worked in the previous game. No such thing as "auto parking". And a lot smaller environment. No tons of space to maneuver in.
 
@FEichinger I wasn't so much compairing the game to its previous incarnation, just commenting on the difficulty
on what appears to be an easy task
 
10:16 PM
@badp Parking is the worst.
 
This is how I gave up
 
@badp I'm just saying. "You whippersnappers and your handholding. Back in my day, we had no 'auto parking'. Psh."
 
@FEichinger I didn't use no handholding you babblin' witch

BITCH I'M A TRUCK
 
10:25 PM
That looks painful.
And expensive.
 
SUCCESS
 
I wouldn't call that "success" so much as "not as much of a failure as it could have been".
 
actually I only took 1% damage
 
What the?
 
don't worry, there's always the next turn

How?!

Q: (How) does carpet affect mob spawning on slabs/glass?

HeikoThe Minecraft Wiki says it doesn't prevent mob spawning. But does it affect mob spawning on blocks mobs normally don't spawn on? If I put carpet on glass or slabs, can mobs spawn there?
