@TopinFrassi "Just weird?" It's borderline sociopathic.
I just robocommented twice before even glancing at that code, I'm not sure it's a genuine post.
@SuperBiasedMan > I love you, __ __ for free! And next time I'll put a question like this on the help center.
I lol'd.
@EBrown Well, I get the sense of humour behind it. I'd find it... funny-ish if a friend made me play that game and my name was there. But the asian line was fun

A: Is a late apology to a former boss about an unprofessional resignation inappropriate?

ZakAs a general rule: Sincere apologies are never inappropriate, and have no expiry date. Whenever you feel sincerely sorry to anyone about anything, no matter how long ago it happened, apologise to them (in person or in writing. IMO email should be a last resort).

Quick, before it gets to the main HNQ list and everyone piles in :)

@CaptainObvious Kudos for everyone for staying professional in the comments. Unfortunately the OP didn't follow.

@Mast Oh, did the comments blow up?
@Zak OP responded in the same style as he wrote his game. Nothing more to it.
Trolling question, stay civil, flag it, delete it, move on :)
It's even easier for me to be civil when I comment without actually reading the question. :)

Q: Renaming video files

user1002973I'm new to F#, so I've ported an old Python script I have to F#. It scans a directory for files named something like Game.Of.Thrones.S01E02.xvidblahblah.mp4 or The_Wire_s03e04.somethingelse.avi, and renames them to a nice form like TheWire_s03e04_Hamsterdam.avi (where Hamsterdam is the episode's ...

I've started an internship, one month and a half in, I didn't receive any paycheck. I llooooovvveeee am disgusted by an organisation that messes with the pay
You'd think working for the government would prevent stupid things like that
Are you sure you get paid for being an intern?
Zak

IME, the government are just as prone to bureaucracy and incompetence as everyone else.
14:33
@EBrown Yeah, I am. It's in my contract.
@Zak Yeeaahhh, but the paycheck? Really?? I mean, mess with whatever you want, but the paycheck?? D:

No process is ever safe from bureaucracy, incompetence or simple human error.

I get that. But if you want productive employees, that's the thing you should watch
@TopinFrassi LOL
The government and productive employees, did you write that one yourself? :P
Ahah
Alright, touché
Slightly more productive employees
That's the definition of oxymoron.

Q: Cleanup Matrix Multiplication

marshI am very new to matrix math. I have the following the sets the rotation in a [4][4] matrix. But it is pretty ugly. Can anyone suggest how I could clean this up? I would like to not have to call MultiplyTwoMatrixes twice. A better way of copying the [3][3] matrix into the end [4][4] matrix would...

I have a feeling I might be posting a follow-up for that question.
Actually, I know I will be.

@Mast Looks like it could be a fuse to me, never seen one like that before.
@ARedHerring Congratulations!
Is that 600V I see on it?
@EBrown They melt.
That doesn't look like a fuse I've ever seen beofore
Oh
TIL
@EBrown Yea, we use 500-600V thingies.
15:40
@Mast "Thingies?"
Fuse
That would make sense that it melts, that's how normal fuses work IIRC.
Not all of them, they're usually resettable nowadays.
I have an annotated box of 3.3V to 5V IC's here.
15:40
These are old, you need to replace them if you blow one.
@Mast Sounds nice
@Mast Eh, you blew an actual fuse in your house?
@skiwi Burned my thumb on it...
@skiwi Yep.
I thought you just damaged the multimeter :P
15:41
@ARedHerring Nope. :( I'm going to try reinstalling Windows this weekend and see what that does for it.
@skiwi Both
What did you do?!
Like... how did you even manage to do that?
Ugh. I'm done with that user. I don't understand what they're posting here for.

@EBrown Yeah. Except I still only like the airhorn or multilingual versions.
The multilingual one is awesome.
@skiwi Usually, not today.

Q: Getting translated string using reflection and Resource Manager

Also, @ARedHerring @EthanBierlein I don't know if commenting on that is appropriate, @Mat'sMug was handling it nicely and now it looks like we ganged up on him.
15:48
Why isn't ducktape proper English? :(
@EBrown I wasn't trying to make it look like I was 'ganging up' on him, but @Mat'sMug said he had had enough and I just felt like it might be better to approach the topic towards the OP in a different light.
I do feel that @EthanBierlein's comment was a bit too aggressive though
@skiwi duct-tape
@skiwi it's duct-tape, although I will forever pronounce it ducktape.
@EBrown FYI the OP posted a comment like that last night and it was deleted, so this is a repeated "offense" of sorts. I'm trying to inform the OP.
Alright, I was just trying to play devil's advocate a little.
15:49
In short, the OP seems to be incapable of taking criticism.
@EthanBierlein A... what?
@skiwi Better?
Briticism sounds like a criticism of your tea. Or the weather.

@EBrown How do you mean?
@skiwi The LSxxxx numbers.
16:28
@EBrown Looks fancy
Nope :P It's some sort of standardized thing?
@skiwi Yeah, the 7400 series is a standard list of IC's.
The first IC in the series a 7400, which is a Quad 2-input NAND gate chip.
The last circuit in the series (that I can find in my book) is a 74C925, which is a 4-Digit counter with Multiplexed 7-Segment output.
@EBrown Not really into that stuff though, mostly trying to control dc motors and servos with an Arduino
This is a group project for university
@skiwi Ah. I love IC stuff.
I'm wanting to make something myself but I'm not quite sure what and how
With Arduino or with IC's?

Nothing wrong with being left, as long as you aren't left out.
