<0> I was just out on the 9th green practicing bunker shots in the dark.
<0> I managed to hit the flagstick.
<0> I wish I could do that well in the daylight.
<1> maybe you should start golfing with your eyes closed
<0> I saw a blind golfer on the Golf Channel once.
<2> Pistouche: Wait a second. Isn't the best deal always 1/$1?
<0> At that point I decided I have no excuse for not breaking 90
<1> jbatista it was 1 for $2
<1> I always thought Happy Gilmore had the right idea
<2> Oh, right, he corrected that.
<2> Nm.
<3> use a Genetic Algorithm
<2> You just have to tap it in. That's practically an instructional video.
<1> hehe
<3> gah... I have to make an algorithm that reverses an array...
<3> thank you 340 level CPS courses
<4> k?
<3> it's pretty damn simple for a 340 level cl***
<4> ha
<2> jsaacmk: Why a genetic algorithm?
<0> In-place reversal?
<0> Gah, what do they teach these days?
<3> jbatista, just to learn how to make a GA, pretty much
<3> Yeah, in place reversal
<0> When do you get to write an OS?
<3> 341
<3> :)
<0> That's a natural progression.
<3> yeah, Hello World! -> MMORPG -> OS
<3> -> Reinvent the wheel
<0> 1.) Steal underpants. 2.) ??? 3.) PROFITS!
<3> I don't think there's an OS writing program at this school
<3> or maybe there is... but I don't think anyone would be able to do it
<0> It's that stuff that I'd kind of like to go back and play with.
<0> But certainly not array reversals.
<3> 470 is intro to OS
<2> Solamente: Wasn't that business model thoroughly debunked in the late 90's?
<0> I bought into that business model in 2000.
<0> 'scuse, 2001
<0> "Seems like everybody's jogging and heavy into health **** / Don't tell me that I ought to get "rolfed" / 'Cause I love Cajun martinis and playing afternoon golf." -- Jimmy Buffett, We Are the People Our Parents Warned Us About
<0> Yeah, I am the people my parents warned me about.
<3> my parents eventually ended up the people they warned me about
<0> Heh
<0> Or this one... "Now I'm gettin' old, don't wear underwear / I don't go to church, and I don't cut my hair."
<0> I haven't given up underwear just yet, and I got a seriously overdue haircut this afternoon.
<0> But I guess I'm about halfway
<3> I'm fro-ing my hair out
<0> Fight the powa
<3> damn strait
<0> Yay. I get to *not* go to Grand Rapids, MI in January.
<0> Pity me.
<3> wtf
<1> that's good news, hehe
<3> what's wrong with Michigan?
<0> It's not Georgia, that's what.
<0> And it's significantly warmer here.
<1> I had to -live- in GR. Pity me.
<0> Oh, lookee, it's Feb. already.
<0> heh
<1> heh, yeah
<0> I've only been to Southfield.
<0> In summer, mercifully
<3> Mt. Pleasant is good. I like it here. All young people and a few homeless... not too bad
<0> Meijer is having some trouble with some scales. Boo-hoo.
<3> like the produce scales?
<0> Yeah. In the food court.
<0> Ever go to Meijer?
<3> yeah
<0> That POS is mine.
<3> it's where I shop for just about everything (when I do shop)
<3> I did all my shopping at the Meijer in Shields (Saginaw) though.
<0> Tell the cashier you know the guy that designed the UI, and listen to them cuss me out.
<3> the UI for the graphical screen stuff?
<1> hehe
<0> Yeah. Except that god-awful background image.
<0> That's not mine.
<0> But the funky icons, the basic layout, and the underlying driver code.
<0> Not to mention a good bit of the POS functionality and a few back-office apps.
<1> I don't think the Meijer near me had such a thing
<0> They're the biggest user of this particular POS system.
<3> well, I'm going to have to say something to a cashier sometime
<1> yeah they're pretty big up there... hard to find a walmart
<0> I've only been in one, in Indiana, and I really dug it.
<0> Never been to HQ though.
<2> Solamente: You wrote Meijer's POS system?
<0> NCR has a couple of guys that pretty much work in Grand Rapids all the time.
<0> jbatista: No, not all of it.
<0> I wrote a goodly portion of the UI and some of the POS features.
<0> And when you use a credit card at the fuel system, I make a s00p3r s3kr1t copy of your credit card number to pay for my golf habit.
<1> hehe
<5> I'm reporting you to the BBB
<2> He keeps the fractional cents, you see.
<0> heh... there you go.
<5> it's like the penny jar
<5> > what, you mean the jar for the crippled kids?
<5> no no, I'm talking about the penny tray, you know, the pennies for everyone
<0> I wonder if they still have that picture of the money tray that pops up at transaction end.
<5> not quite sure if that's right (actually I'm pretty sure it's not) but it's from Office Space
<0> It would show how many of each coin or bill to pull out of the tray
<0> Some stores got all offended by it, while others loved it.
<0> (That one wasn't mine, either)
<2> Some of you guys might own some electronics where the shipments were audited with my software, but I will slap anyone who accuses me of designing that. I just wrote it.
<0> lol
<0> It's funny... they stuff I really like usually gets replaced, while the stuff I'm not all that proud of (like the god-awful C code underlying the Meijer UI) seems to stay around forever.
<0> It's 10 years old already.
<2> They were offended by an icon of a cash register tray popping out?
<0> It took up the whole screen.
<0> And it ***umed that the cashier couldn't make change.
<0> A safe ***umption, if you ask me.
<6> i swear i'm going to ****ing kill charter.
<5> :(
<0> OOH! CAN I HELP?
<0> I'm on Charter.
<6> sure
<3> the wireless internet I 'use' is on charter
<0> What'd they do?
<7> why would a listbox stay unsorted if it's designed as sorted?
<6> how about me on hold for 3hrs?
<5> Solamente told him his penis is small, and then proved that they were right :(
<6> or the fact that our connection isn't much better than 56k?
<6> or the fact that they refuse to provide me for any refund of service?
<0> Odd.
<0> I clock just under 3Mb here.
<6> i just hung up.
<0> But I guess you didn't need to hear that right now.
<6> i have better things to do than sit there jerking off for 3hrs
<8> After the Visual express i need the SDK, correct ?
<1> platform sdk, yes
<0> whitewabbit: To do any significant Win32 stuff, yes
<8> I'm fetching it right now, but even w/o it i was able to make a hello world and it worked on windows!
<6> oh yea, and the fact that because i'm a college student they treat me inferior
<8> I can do GUI as well ?
<0> With either .NET or the Win32 Platform SDK, yes.
<0> .NET is already ready to go.
<8> I'm not interested in command prompt applications only.
<6> i'm going to their location here and raising hell
<0> I keep trying to move to an area with Comcast, and I can't seem to find them.
<0> F'ing government-granted monopolies.
<1> hmm, Avalon isn't going to have a native side to it, right? developers that want to create applications that take advantage of the new UI stuff in Vista are just going to have to go managed, right?
<6> knology is supposedly coming down here
<6> i'm nabbing them ASAP
<0> rdragon: Nope, all managed.
<0> But I *think* some of the new UI features will be available in non-managed code.
<1> ah
<6> what all is in avalon?
<6> i haven't looked into it
<0> A new way of making wicked awesome GUI apps.
<0> Replaces Win32.
<0> It's like Flash for people who shave.
<1> yeah - WinFX == vista api
<9> avalon == Windows Presentation Foundations (WPF)
