if you are returning there is no reason to make that an else

Unionhawk

Right?

Maybe that's the real code behind "if else is a code smell"

Because that's just absurd, and silly

GodEmperorDune

there is also a difference between a handful of if/else and 300 chained if/else is a code smell

Unionhawk

We could probably lump lots of things into "if this causes another dev to go 'what the fuck' you should probably reevaluate your code"

GodEmperorDune

i mean a dev going "what the fuck" is literally what code smell is

and when I bought the thing, the LCD was just a bonus. I didn't know it would be the only thing about the device that I'd end up using

the only reason I even bought it was because my wife was pressuring me into getting something for my birthday, even though there was nothing I really wanted at the time... Logitech G13 seemed fun though

However, I typically buy the x80 models as I find it enjoyable to have top of the line stuff for a while

@PrivatePansy Well that's what I mean. If I buy the GTX 1080 I'm basically committing to my expensive build

I managed to get it down to around 2600 for the expensive build just by picking components well

Arperum

What do?

Arperum

@NBN-Alex throw the rock at the rift in space

NBN-Alex

@Arperum The rift in space and time does not want the rock and tosses it back out

the rift closes up right as the rock flies out, it seems like that small problem is fixed at least!

Q: Why does my friend have less Pokémons than me?

Why does my friend only have 138 spaces in his Pokédex (Sorry can't provide a screenshot), when I have 142 spaces in the Pokédex? We both are Android. And I am pretty sure we both have the same version of the game. Could it maybe be because my friend got it from Germany while I downloaded the...

I've dealt with a system that took ~30 second pageloads when I started working on it. I was able to reduce it to ~1.5-2 while adding functionality (worked on it on and off for a couple years)

@sequoiad the cord is cut! You manage to take the strands of cable and connect them to each other.

@Arperum that sounds easy-ish to fix, give the API a timeout of 1 second

@badp I have no control over the API. I guess I could reduce the timeout for my requests to API1.

The sound has transferred onto the earbuds, but there seems to be something new happening! The ends of the earbuds are acting as an AIR HORN thrusters, rocketing the buds out of a window and into the night sky. You're left with a rock again, a broken window, and the feeling of accomplishment as that problem is for someone else to deal with.

CONGRATULATIONS

Can I keep the rock again?

NBN-Alex

Arperum

@NBN-Alex So now I can smack annoying things with the rock again?

NBN-Alex

@Arperum It voids the warranty for the rock, but yes.

Q: Why somethings don't show in friendly battles?

I noticed my base in Friendly Challenges doesn't look the same. I think it's an older version. For example there is no archer queen. Also if I move buildings around and immediately start another, there is no change. What is going on? How long does it take for changes to take affect to friendly ba...

Q: Does Niantic ban for using the Nox app player?

I've been having a discussion about the recent bans with a friend who is disabled. He is paralyzed from his waist down due to a serious injury some years ago and has been pretty much bedridden ever since. However he is a huge Pokemon fan, ever since the release of PoGO in our country he wanted to...

Q: Candy Crush Soda Saga: Best levels to complete quests

For example, the "Go Fish" quest requires you to match two fish together, a certain number of times. I've played levels where there are fish generators next to each other, and a lot of the work of finishing the level is matching the fish together to make "triple fish". These levels would be ide...
