Plotwise The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford keeps you in as long as you stay on the slow drawling dialogue and with the time shifts. Missed a bit on FTA, and so it all came a bit jumbled until reviewing the Wikipedia page. Still, a mood piece with some fine shots and cool musical interludes.
So, got into to Tubi to watch Dup…[Read more]

Wonderful, a coracle is also the very thing for use in a tarn or small lake. And yes, a thermos is mandatory. 🙂
Definitely, who wants to spend their precious gaming time on such nefarious capers as compiling or confirming bug reports?
A worrying statistic of our times is one in seven scientific papers is a crock – here’s an extract form the…[Read more]

Secured a nifty Oppo A38 refurb for the tap and go experience, won’t be using it until either absolutely necessary or the clink of coin has gone for good.
Theres an issue with the A8 which is powered off in locked landscape orientation. Upon turning it on, it’s in locked portrait mode. Happens only very rarely. Attempting to rotate to landscape…[Read more]

These days, the young and restless will neither rest nor grow old until they get a positive gong in the People’s Court Sheindlin Arb. Reality Show.

20th Century Fox Wants You To… Go Ape

Since then, just about everything has gone ape-sh*t. 😛
Saw Se7en again after four or five years, just enough time to forget most of the details. Worth it, more…[Read more]

🙂 A parrot pining for the fjords may as well be pining for the rings of Saturn.
Jindabyne contains dramatic scenes having a bit of pep, it’s located near here so the scenery is familiar, as well as being captured in loving detail.
NCIS Origins is arguably a better show than the original, thus not a bad choice when there is little else available.…[Read more]

treat for music lovers:

Thanks. 🙂
With the esm header, good idea to check what’s in the cpp re anything relating.
With the X86 MSVC 19.42 compiler at godbolt there is:

(2): error C2833: ‘operator dword’ is not a recognized operator or type
(2): error C2059: syntax error: ‘newline’
(2): error C2143: syntax error: missing ‘;’ before ‘{‘

Great story on the waggle dance, and its purpose and meaning. Thanks!
Apparently the Late Show doesn’t screen every night over here, so they replay some older shows to fill the void. This is an intro to one:

Can hardly imagine how this could have happened, it’s usually a matter of adjusting the holding…[Read more]

Sorry, no, meant the whole thread, not just that post. As a matter of interest, is MWEdit fully Unicode or MBCS?
If not for debugging, no, – a command line may not be absolutely mandatory unless an association is setup for opening files. Can you load more than one file in MWEdit?
Where does MWEdit store its preferences – in the registry or in a…[Read more]

There’s a few choices of interest from winmain-and-main-in-c-extended, wonder if there is any point adding command line arguments say for example to run the show in debug mode like e.g. Wrye Bash.
Will that be for CMake? You can make it work with MSBuild as explained in CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM, not sure how that goes on VS on Linux though.

Going way back to early Bond, there was Barry Nelson in Casino Royale with Peter Lorre as the villain. With characters like Lorre, many of the ones these days come across as cardboard constructs in comparison. This might be the case in the 2006 film where the villains did make out a little “ordinary”. Do recommend the latter, although it does…[Read more]

The name appeals, a melding of MySpace and Facebook = CodgerSpace? Rodger that!
The Science section e.g. this provides links to well-known sources e.g. cosmic jousting at Reuters. Do you get those – it appears to be region based, so we get a lot of Mirage content over here.
The Disney Fun-Fact-Fantasy-Fiction collection arrived at the shop, so…[Read more]

Is it possible to refactor code to run from custom operators? So define operators f+ as float plus, d+ as float double, f- as float minus, d- as double minus etc.. This obeys the usual arithmetical precedence rules in converting the surrounding operands to the type specified by the operator. Bound to be messy and slow in large expressions of mixed…[Read more]

Vector might be a viable alternative to array of structs, even better, just an array of key/value pairs.
Fine, just watch for certain add/subtract operations in floats, there’s a cautionary note here.

Oregano is really tough, there’s a patch of it which has been regenerating each spring for many years now, at least 15 IIRC.
That’s a pity, an idea is to intersperse the cover with something slightly unpalatable, the nightshades for example. The younger leaves on a local species (probably this) growing under the pines here are actually quite…[Read more]

Got one of them downstairs, we simply had to diversify. 😛
So the CyberPower is in place, runs nicely – apart from a bit of a hiccup on boot probably from the loose USB connector plug.
Another thing, the PC rebooted immediately after shutdown last night, do recall an adjustment of voltage thresholds cured this a while ago on a downstairs rig. In…[Read more]

Dragon32 bowing out after all this time, wow. Is mlox a better alternative to Mash these days?
A scripter wanted to know How to detect if webcam is being used?
No answer, looks like each implementation of the USB Video Class (UVC) camera has its own virtual space from which one can hardly see into, other than through Windows Settings, as seen in Wh…[Read more]

Ah gotcha, it’s here, and yes, OpenMW is on the list! 🙂
Have you seen this one for Usenet, more than a billion posts in there apparently.
And there are almost 15 billion videos on YouTube, – no walk in the park for your average video archivist. 😛

It also has some cool taglines:

From Outer Space They Came – Meteor Borne, Meteor Strange!
Stranger Than Anything Science Had Ever Discovered As Thrill Crowds Upon Thrill!

Looks like a fun crowd, could this have been the official trailer for it?

Rogue Agent is one of those flicks equipped with a potent…[Read more]

Turns out the Mastering CMake files there are just TOC, and Martin/Hoffman’s version have non-functioning links. Better to just get it from CMake. 😛
No corrigenda since 2003? They have indeed upped the standards! And news group comp.std.c++ dead?
Interesting link on file system limits, thanks. Because the IA has well over 200 pb of data, the…[Read more]
