hmmm I just read 'tobacco' as 'taco'
 
> `thing["original"] == thing["shouldbeequal"]`
> false
> .Equals
> false
GOD DAMMIT
 
I played a little Vermintide last night. That is a very fun twist on L4D gameplay.
 
any of you guys play tricky towers?
I'm doing a load of guides
 
My only assumption is this type overloads .Equals to return false always forever
 
@Unionhawk rekt
Add more equals signs?
 
2:11 PM
Ugh, I don't feel so good.
 
Can't point out anything in particular, just a general "something's wrong and everything's terrible" feeling.
 
@fredley I don't think that's a thing in C#
And if it was, isn't === always false if == is false?
 
@Unionhawk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
I mean, all === is is just "== except don't try to perform type conversion to make it work"
 
2:14 PM
 
@Unionhawk === might override .DoubleTripleQuadrupleEqualsForSeriousNoTakebacks() to return true always forever.
 
although... object.Equals is false for reference types that aren't literally the same doesn't it, or does it try to box things
Er, unbox
 
.ReallyReallyEquals()
 
I DON'T KNOW THIS IS DRIVING ME INSANE
 
@Unionhawk Is it a string?
Hooray for python, where "aaa" == "a" * 3 works
 
2:17 PM
Did you walk through with the debugger?
DID YOU?
 
GO TAKE THE DEBOGGO FOR A WALK RIGHT NOW
man if I ever write a debugger I'm calling it deboggo
 
@Unionhawk C# doesn't have ===; it's mostly a thing in languages where == is value equality with type coercion and === is either reference equality or value equality without coercion.
 
@fredley No
 
@Unionhawk so they are objects? or primitives?
 
@fredley De doggo?
 
2:19 PM
@Yuuki doggo debogger.
 
In C#, Equals() is value equality and ReferenceEquals() is reference equality (by default; classes can, but should not, violate this contract)
 
So you would expect 2 collections with identical members to satisfy .Equals but not .ReferenceEquals yes?
 
And == is value equality for "predefined value types" and strings and reference equality for everything else (but types that overload Equals() are encouraged to also overload == and != to implement the same semantics; this is not, however, mandatory)
 
@Unionhawk It depends?
 
I mean obviously
Because that's not what is happening
 
2:21 PM
@Unionhawk I would expect that, but the language does not actually enforce this.
 
Because ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Q: Is there a built-in method to compare collections in C#?

TimKI would like to compare the contents of a couple of collections in my Equals method. I have a Dictionary and an IList. Is there a built-in method to do this? Edited: I want to compare two Dictionaries and two ILists, so I think what equality means is clear - if the two dictionaries contain the...

Go to bed @uni
 
Oh wait lol I misread the standard
t.Equals() is eqv to t.ReferenceEquals() if t is a reference type
Equals() is value equality by default only for things inheriting from System.ValueType
Goddamnit C#
 
So... supposing t and v are not literally the same object in t.Equals(v), t.Equals(v)=false
 
@Unionhawk I'm not sure this is what is going to happen.
 
2:23 PM
@Unionhawk No
 
List are special. ANd are not identical.
 
That would be crazypants
 
@Unionhawk if they are reference types that do not override Equals, yes
@TimStone "If the current instance is a reference type, the Equals(Object) method tests for reference equality, and a call to the Equals(Object) method is equivalent to a call to the ReferenceEquals method. Reference equality means that the object variables that are compared refer to the same object."
 
@TimStone I mean yeah probably
 
@ToxicFrog Yeah, my No + follow up was to his earlier suggestion that two different lists that look identical should be equal
I was a bit late to the party :P
 
2:25 PM
Aah
 
I mean, like, x=new [2] is not the same as y=new [2], but [2]=[2] so I think it's a reasonable thing to think might have ever worked
 
@Unionhawk The problem is that there's a lot of different ways to view two collections as equals; set equality, content equality, content + order equality, etc
 
Super religious Hobby Lobby has been funding ISIS. What world is this even?
 
I guess that breaks down for [2,3]=[3,2]? etc doesn't it
fuck
 
@Fluttershy Look they were just trying to make their Bible Museum with trafficked goods, who among us?
looks around
Oh. None of us. Okay, continue
@Unionhawk Aye
 
2:27 PM
@TimStone Seriously! WTAF
 
@fredley you're part of it, I mean
 
@TimStone but my collections are already sorteddddddddddddd
 
@Unionhawk yeah, but it's not unreasonable for [2,3] and [2,3] to be equal even if they aren't the same object.
 
goddammit
 
Likewise (set 2 3) and (set 3 2) since sets are (conceptually) orderless.

Q: Why is the CS:GO game lagging on the laptop?

Warda I have core-i5, 7 generation with 12gb ram and 2.7GHz, AMD Radeon 2gb graphic card. I installed and disabled the recording from the windows setting. Still, cs: go is lagging. Can anybody throw some light on it? If anyone needs more information, I can provide for this problem. Heap of thanks in ad...

Q: Black border in COD advanced warfare in pc

Sahan Maram Hey guys, I installed COD advanced warfare in pc... As you can see in the above picture... I'm getting a black border all around when I open the game... I didn't find any fix for this even in YouTube... So please confess your ideas so that I could remove this black border... Thanks

 
welp
 
@Unionhawk git clone git://github.com/uni/gud.git
 
@Unionhawk Then just .SequenceEqual(other)
 
Oh, and even my exceedingly dumb idea of ToStringing it will also never work and I'm not sure why I ever expected that it might
 
Oh VAC Discussion forum, you bring moments of joy now and then.
 
2:32 PM
 
@TimStone I mean, this is multiplied by the fact that I'm trying to hand .GroupBy a collection, so I have literally no idea how I'm going to make this work
 
(SetEquals would work too if your items are unique, but not if there are duplicates)
 
@TimStone In snake-land you'd just do set(l1) == set(l2), but yeah
 
In fact, come to think of it, I'm not even certain how this runs lol
 
@Unionhawk If you have a generic example I'd be happy to make a suggestion, if that'd help
 
2:34 PM
I guess C# is happy enough creating a dictionary of <anonymous, value> where anonymous contains a dictionary
This is some long lunch territory
 
@Unionhawk What in the sweet hell

Q: Aciddentaly deleted my character with lots of item on safe

GandalfSo i was playing terraria then my cousin came he took my cellphone it was possibly that when he took it he accidentaly deleted my most valuable character with lots of items in the safe...... Is the any possible way to get my stuff back?

 
> You can, however, join the strings by hash code
ಠ_ಠ
ಠ_ಠ
 
2:46 PM
That's only slightly smarter than my idiot plan of using ToString to get something equals could compare in that it probably actually works
 
@BlueBarren I have been pinged
WHAT'S UP, MORTAL.
 
@TimStone the answer right below it points out a version of groupby that takes an iequalitycomparer so maybe that could be a thing
 
Ugh, the NY Times did a dumb again
"Oh that crazy Trump making up the number 'almost 40' but also it was actually 37.4"
 
"compared with the same period in 2016"
I wouldn't expect "in the first quarter" to mean that
 
@TimStone Well, they also mention that China said that trade grew even after stopping trade.
 
2:52 PM
"40% in three months" is not the same as "40% in a year"
 
I mean it's usually compared to the previous quarter or year-over-year, so it's not like what he tweeted was wildly inaccurate
Of all the things to be concerned about it seems like a dumb one to go out on a limb for
 
Reading this now for the first time, it seems misleading
 
The way I take it is "trade growth was 37.4% higher compared to the same period in 2016", which doesn't say a whole lot.

Q: Which Enemy abilities are prevented by Burn/Poison/Disorient?

CiacciuAs per title: there is a very nice Q&A detailing which of our soldier's skills are unusable when under negative status effects, but what about enemies' abilities?

 
It's the same as saying "trade growth in the first quarter of 2016 was 1%, but now it's 1.374%. Look, higher numbers!"
 
2:58 PM
@MBraedley That's what year-over-year comparisons do though
It probably makes more sense in the context of investing than trading, but
#BREAKING: 18 states sue Betsy DeVos for delaying student loan protections http://hill.cm/h3M3YuK https://t.co/MtQzPW9y4J
 
@TimStone But year-over-year comparisons of a rate are generally stupid, especially when the actual rates aren't reported.
 
/cc @Unionhawk and other poor students
 
Too late I'm already out of my federal loans thanks to betsy
That move costs me money long term but not a whole lot to make it worth trying to stay
 
@MBraedley I mean it's presumably useful for characterizing growth performance, but yeah. The more relevant bit is that it's insane to make public foreign policy statements based on this than that Trump was somehow wrong about the number, I guess was my bigger point
tl;dr he's still an idiot, he just didn't pull the number out of his ass :P
 
@Avery I felt like fidget spinners are your realm
 
3:12 PM
oh it was a link
 
@Avery yes it was a link
ah it does, I'm having issuing doing that on Reddit because the link ends with a bracket
 
@Unionhawk Incidentally, this move cost me $697 assuming original timelines
So, thanks Betsy
It did actually save me $357 on one of them somehow
 
@BlueBarren very good game
 
lol I found a bug in Student Loan Hero
it handles negative balances as positives
 
Mint does that sometimes by mistake and turned my credit card debt into a balance
 
3:20 PM
@Avery I think you mean the 2nd best game ever
 
That felt cool for the brief moment until I realised and all happiness left my body
 
yes
 
@TimStone It thinks I owe sallie mae like $200 even though no sallie mae owes me like $200
 
shakes head
 
which means I in turn owe SoFi $200 immediately after sallie mae pays me that $200 because under penalty of perjury etc only used to refinance
 
3:24 PM
I think I'm in the golden mile now. I have 2 months left on my internship in London ON and I submitted my notice to vacate on my apartment at the end of last month
 
I watched that yesterday and shared my experiences with chat and it was horrible
@BlueBarren woo!
 
@TimStone 'pparently Trump is the first US President not to visit the Warsaw ghetto memorial too
 
I mean what
 
@TimStone err well there are things I'm supposed to have done before I leave so not entirely woo, I a little bit of "Argh! Deadlines"
 
3:30 PM
@fredley Yeaaaaaaah
 
@Unionhawk Sounds like a fun bug
 
I mean it's just a display not the real thing, so
 
oh god
I'd link the thread but I wasn't exactly all that nice there and kinda regret it, but mehhh, you can dig in my replies if you want
 
Throwing rocks, leaf boats, etc
 
I'm dying
I thought that she was going to blame me as a climate change denier

Y'all. Whew
 
@TimStone oops, now we're going to bomb poland too
 
GOLDEN
 
did you hear about the "left is best" guy?
 
who?
 
@GodEmperorDune I know you know I did but I also inb4ed already to save you some trouble :P
 
3:44 PM
@TimStone nah i just woke up and was trying to save myself from posting a dupe
 
Oh I just meant because you faved liked my Twitter reply, lol
 
@TimStone oh lol i don't read who tweets things
 
Wow, that's an old habit that just won't die

@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment ooo that could be helpful right about meow
 
3:47 PM
@BlueBarren super user is there.
 
@Avery well sure but I don't actually have a question right meow, just some frustrations
 
@TimStone Something something projection.
 
whenever I try to use MSSMS's built in "copy, move, take offline, etc." functions it never works. I always have to do some backwards stuff
 
Splatoon 2 Direct is a thing?
 
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's like Christmas in July
 
3:57 PM
@TimStone we need IP certs too
 
I am selfishly only concerned about this because it makes some internal certs without a self-managed CA possible
 
Oh man, gdq is a full 2 hours behind schedule lol
Finale pushed to midnight Sunday so far
 
They better be quick about then
 
They could make up time by going fast in setup blocks but I don't think they have 2 hours of setup left to make up
F6 F5 Please work
Did you even build
What
Why are my breakpoints disabled
 
4:13 PM
Forgetting to build is the one thing that always catches me up with C#, heh
 
But I F6ed then F5ed what
 
The web framework we use for Java builds incrementally automatically so I'm spoiled
 
Technically I shouldn't need to F6 because F5 should do that before running but here we are

ok
will you be happy now
there it goes
 
First Q to Moran: "Are you able to articulate any benefit to the people of Kansas from the current Senate bill?" 1/2
This presumably random person has just shown up literally every reporter
 
I mean, might as well just go in there immediately
 
4:17 PM
@TimStone Man I love seeing the president insulted
 
Does Rob have a town hall, I'm asking him that
ROB
lmao
If you google "Rob Portman", google helpfully brings up the following list:
> Email Rob
> Contact
> Office Locations
> Health Care
(about rob, biography, more from senate.gov)
Looking like a big negative on the town hall
I'll just yell at him here and hopefully he hears me
ROB ARE YOU ABLE TO ARTICULATE ANY BENEFIT TO THE PEOPLE OF OHIO FROM THE SENATE BILL IN ANY FORM
He does helpfully have a signup form for a telephone town hall
 
@Unionhawk I'll accept it
 
That occurred somewhere between May 17th and probably yesterday
since it says you need to sign up by then to be on the call
so that's super helpful
 
> A man whose legal name is "Uncle Sam"
 
I want to get off Mr. @badp's Wild Ride
I wonder...
continues trying dumb hacks to make this work
noep, why would that work
 
4:33 PM
Ugh, my entire body hurts and it's making work a slower.

Q: What's the name of this 90's era JRPG?

Rubellite FaeI remember playing an JRPG back in the 90s. I believe it was on the SNES. There was one part where you have to get into a town that only women are allowed in. So, first you have to acquire bunny suits for the male members of your party to disguise themselves. I've asked about this game on several...

Q: How can I find an unfinished build when I can't remember where I built it?

Is there a way to track down the coordinates of the build? I did use structure blocks if that's any help. I can track it down myself but I need to know a ...

 
4:51 PM
ugh instant regret
why did I buy more food?
I didn't need more food
and that food didn't even taste that good
 
@Yuuki adulting is terrible
 
@TimStone "for by Uncle Sam"?
 
I assume Paid for, he's just blocking that part of the sign
 
that makes sense
 
Surprised noone has tried to cross Pony Island with My Little Pony yet. Or maybe they have, and I haven't seen it, in which case I shall continue to pretend it doesn't exist
 
4:55 PM
I'm too lazy to look for these things so
 
@PrivatePansy "Island" is a pretty generic term. It's hard to find stuff that isn't just "My Little Pony" and something about an island
 
laziness*=1000
 
@PrivatePansy There is this excellent Steam thread though
We should all venture to keep on truckin
 
@TimStone "excellent"
 
incidentally, "excellent steam thread" is always a contradiction
there are no good steam threads
 
5:00 PM
@TimStone Just what we all needed: another low effort "parody" of pointless anger
 
@Unionhawk Indeed

c#/c++ is my favorite pokemon
 
@Unionhawk I like R
Although I didn't evolve my r because it was so cute
 
I think I would have trouble picking out all of the Pokemon from that list without looking them up
 
All yeah. I can get several
 
I'd have trouble being sure that the ones that were Pokemon weren't also technologies
 
5:21 PM
Yes
lol
Ditto is probably a technology
 
Though, the question is "which are pokemon?", not "which aren't technologies?"
 
Fairly sure sparkling-water is one of those new gen pokemons
 
Which would really be "which ones aren't technologies yet?"
 
True
 
Trump left without luxury hotel for G20 summit after waiting too long to book reservation: report… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/883013195035795457
C'mon, how does that even happen? There are literally people who do this
 
5:24 PM
He hasn't hired them
 
2017 is so on the nose it hurts
 
and that's the senate's fault
 
@Unionhawk He's still got his personal assistant with him though
 
The obstruction in the senate
 
5:26 PM
But reading the article I think I see what happened. They're so inexperienced in this area they didn't realise that when you book a hotel for the President, you literally book the hotel
> The U.S. initially sought to accommodate Trump in the local Four Seasons hotel, only to find it was already fully booked by Saudi Arabia’s King Salman, the report said
 
lol
 
Even for Trump I imagine booking an entire hotel isn't part of his usual routine, lol
 
I mean he owns entire hotels so
that's basically the same thing
 
"Just" being a VIP guest is admittedly different than having to make sure no one detonates a bomb elsewhere in the building that could cause a structural collapse etc etc
 
It seems like it would be hard to have a meeting of world leaders in general if each one of them needs to book an entire hotel for the trip

WondercricketIn the recent update, Ninatic implemented the ability to apply filters to search for Pokémon. After playing around with different filters to see what could be searched on, I discovered you can You can filter by name You can filter by type You can filter by number What are all of t...

 
I guess if you don't have the deep pockets you make do, but yeah
 
@TimStone rekt
 
@Wipqozn We need to play PUBG
 
I just love that it's the completely mundane problem of not getting the nice hotel room because he waited too long to book, except that he's the President, it's the G20 summit, and it's an entire hotel
 
Maybe he can ask Vlad if he can rent a room in his hotel
 
@murgatroid99 Right? It's an actual "Who among us?" except on a totally different scale
"We will put American boots on the face of Mars" says VP Pence. Details TK.
 
Why are we invading mars
 
It's hard not to read that in the same context as, right, that ^
 
I mean I'm ok with this but I was just curious to see if we had a reason
 
We're sending troops to Mars because Elon Musk is already there making his own untaxed economy.
Which will lead to a new revolutionary war in which space France lends support to Mars, and then we end up with America 2.0 on Mars.
 
5:43 PM
So that's where his tunnel goes
 
I assume Elon has a Stargate.
 
@Unionhawk I tried thinking of something witty but I'm honestly not sure what his stake in that game is
 
I mean, probably to make it look like we're not cutting NASA's budget or something because I'm sure that's still a thing like it has been for years
 
@RedRiderX I read the hover text and now I don't know how to feel
 
5:52 PM
Doomfist is on PTR for the Overwatch inclined
 
S O M B R A
 
so it looks like most or all things that could be in my collection I want to groupby have a ThingExists property on the class lol
 
> Hmm... the dive comp is starting to be a problem with Overwatch meta
> So what you're saying is that you want another dive hero?
 
Well that's a silly line but it works
 
6:06 PM
I don't know how I found myself listening to an Andrea Bocelli playlist, but I'm definitely not mad about it.
 
@Yuuki Winston/GenjiOrTracer/Dva/Doomfist/DoubleSupport every game
 
At least we'll probably have an in-meta new hero on day 1
lol
 
I'm just going to be a reaper main now
 
RIP Rein being in meta
 
I'm glad I didn't waste time learning him like I was going to last season
 
6:11 PM
so what is this new hero classed as?
 
offense
 
wasn't Sombra offense?
 
yeah
 
so still no new defense hero?
 
Defense is worst category of hero
 
6:12 PM
Hence why they should add more of them to make it better
 
Area denial is so fun.
/s
 
that's how solutions work, right?
 
They'll just move Sym to defense when they add a new support
 
@BlueBarren Well, I guess that's how they decided Doomfist would work.
 
so how does he work?
DON'T link me a video
 
6:14 PM
@BlueBarren Gameplay footage
 
He has a jump. And a jump. And shields when he jumps.
 
@Yuuki so super Genji?
@Unionhawk I should flag this
 
He's basically Winston with more damage.
 
The only real question is who is the voice actor
 
@Unionhawk not Terry Crews
 
6:16 PM
BOO
 
@Yuuki just like my mother
I mean that in the nicest way possible
 
Oh yeah, he has a third jump.
 
so close combat jumpy jumpy
sounds like a better Genji
 
Question
is rocket punch just charge
 
@Unionhawk Looks like you have to hold it for a bit.
So it might be a bit more telegraphed than Rein's charge.
 
6:22 PM
Can Rein get a buff and can dive meta die
 
@Sterno oh no
 
I haven't played since the lucio change either so I'm going to be super bad
Lucio movement and positioning has changed a lot and it's going to be fun
 
user15026
Changed my Facebook name and Google account name to match last name. I think for most other things I have to wait til I have the actual marriage license, but this at least gets me started getting used to seeing it :P
 
@Ash So now you're @AshEngineer right?
 
@Unionhawk Rein doesn't need a buff. Rein just needs fixed
And Road needs un-nerfed :(
Although people still fear my hook, which is nice
 
6:32 PM
CURSE YOU SQL MANAGEMENT STUDIO!
 
Although D.va is meta so I guess I have that
 
user15026
@BlueBarren Something like that ;)
 
@SaintWacko oh a fellow Roadhog main?
 
@BlueBarren Oh yes
For a long time
Not just Roadhog, but Flankhog
 
@BlueBarren Hey, @WorldEngineer might have one of those "family name first" things going on, maybe it's @WorldAsh.
 
6:37 PM
So this nerf was aimed pretty much squarely at me :(
 
@Yuuki I think to over all bases we should just go with @WorldAshineer
 
Plus, are we assuming that @Ash will take @WorldEngineer's name? That's a bit presumptuous.
 
@SaintWacko Pro tip: get out of the way of D.Va's ult
 
@KevinvanderVelden ...thanks
 
@Yuuki well they did say that they changed their name not that he changed his
 
6:38 PM
@BlueBarren iirc ash is still using singular they.
 
@BlueBarren It's too bad. He missed out on being Nunngineer
 
@Avery roger
 
user15026
@BlueBarren *they *their
 
that makes sense now, right?
 
user15026
@Yuuki Well, I did take his last name, so there's that. Although we did discuss other options. :)
 
6:40 PM
You should have both changed your name to the other person's name
 
@Ash does other options include both of you having the surname "Destroyer of Worlds"?
 
@Ash Well, I just realized that we were assuming. It's nice to have confirmation so that I'm not making a donkey out of "u" and "me".
 
@BlueBarren obviously not
or else they'd pick that
 
Good point
 
@Yuuki you may have been assuming, I read what they said =p
 
6:42 PM
If that was an option on the table no one would've said no
 
user15026
@BlueBarren You know if that was an option I'd've totally gone with that
 
user15026
@Yuuki no donkeys here :)
 
@Ash it's not too late yet is it? I think there might still be time...
 
user15026
@BlueBarren Well, technically for any legal docs I have to wait the 6-8 (yes literally) weeks and then get the marriage license and then I can change stuff
 
user15026
so I can totally still decide :P
 
6:44 PM
a 6-8 year wait to become the "Destroyer of Worlds".... well that's probably worth it
 
user15026
weeks, not years ;)
 
@Yuuki donkeyume? what's a donkeyume?
 
@Ash oh... well maybe you need training to become a destroyer and that probably takes time. You know Beerus the Destroyer didn't become a god of destruction overnight. I stand by my statement.
 
user15026
@BlueBarren You have a very good point :)
