Support NeoGAF

[moka]

Sup guys? Uni is slowly winding down and I'm still looking for Summer jobs. I think it's too late now but I may go live in London until September anyway. Hm, so many decisions.

Greetings BritGAF, perhaps this is common knowledge in Britain, and in the BBC syndication area, but is it normal that the BBC videos online can be turned up to 11? lol

I saw this and brushed it off as a programming error:

for (int i=0; i<=11; i++) {}

what they should've done is

for (int i=0; i<=10; i++) {}

for (int i=0; i<=10; i++) {}

seems like quite an obvious mistake though, its been there for years. A question, just because I'm sort of starting to learn programming, would i<11 work too?

 

[BGBW]

Surely the error would be "<=" instead of "<". Typing 11 instead of 10 seems to be a be of a stretch.

 

[JonathanEx]

It's been a feature since very early on iPlayer. pretty sure it's intentional.

It is.

Yep.

I honestly couldn't say. I'm just speculating. Maybe the programmer didn't have enough coffee that day?

The mistake could've been:

for (int i=0; i<12; i++) {}

when they should've done:

for (int i=0; i<11; i++) {}

That seems like a more plausible explanation?

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

Yep.

Dude what are you doing? It goes up to 11 because it's COOL. Mistakes aren't COOL yo.

It's deliberate : http://rxdxt.tumblr.com/post/560540392/why-the-bbcs-iplayer-volume-control-go-to-11

I'm off to the library, bad move around lunch because there'll be zero computers.

Ha, that's awesome.

Well the interview went ok but I could have done much, much better if it wasn't for my nerves. Damn :lol: I should expect an answer in two weeks but i feel like i might not get to the final stage due to my answers I have given. Maybe who knows but time to continue to look while I wait for IT jobs in Kent.

You should look in Cambridge, there are shitloads of IT jobs here (just not many that I'm qualified for).

 

[RobotNinjaHornets]

Work is boring

I am bored

 

[moka]

In uni now. Got two 1-hour lectures and a 2-hour lab. EXCITING.

Decent weather today as well. 2 Day streak!

Spoiler

We're getting all of 2013's sun at once.

Every single interview I went to that I thought went really really well ended up with them not getting back to me, or telling me no. Every single interview I thought went really bad I ended up getting the job or a really good response.

Way too soon.

You might get away with it as you've posted it here and not in the thread.

Might.

Might.

That's what you guys get for being top of Page 1 and not like bottom of page 3 or wherever the GB thread is

edit: You meant the bombing thread, didn't you? Well fuck that, no way I'm posting there

So I rang my one of flat mates to boil some pasta for me so it would be ready for when I got in the house for my half hour lunch break. I rang him 15 minutes before hand, and when I asked, he replied "how will I do that?" Yes, he asked me how to boil pasta.

I came in, 15 minutes later, to a pan of cold water on the hob.

Fuck my life.

 

[BGBW]

What? Like even I can cook pasta. That's terrible.

Was the pasta in it?

 

[NinjaBoiX]

By the time I'd cooked it, I had to put it in a box and take it with me.

I know what he's like, he won't have even started doing it until 10 minutes after I rang, which is why I gave him so much notice.

"If you want a job doing properly, kill Baldrick before he starts."

Was the pasta in it?

Nope, just a cold pan of water.

"Why is it cold?"
"I've only just put it on."
"Did you not boil the kettle? That's a really inefficient way to boil water."
"Oh."
"GRRRRRR!"

 

[NinjaFridge]

Boston thread getting retarded. Again.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Just had the "BEES?!" conversation over Facebook with my sister.

You know, maybe my family isn't all that bad.

They don't allow you to have bees in here

As in "the birds and the bees"? I'm confused.

 

[Hystzen]

Ok Tomb Raider is pretty fucking good a better uncharted game then uncharted. The only shit parts where the corridor shooting palace section but the open areas where you jump and do mini collecting pretty damn smart. A sequel that expands on that will be pretty fucking epic

 

[Hot Coldman]

Old Bear ;_;

 

[f0rk]

Old Bear ;_;

We lost him

 

[SKINNER!]

Who doesn't want to talk about the birds and the beads?

To be fair, you're asking him to do a favor. He had no obligation.

I didn't even know we were calling him Old Bear. ;__;

 

[RobotNinjaHornets]

He loved the honey ;__;

 

[Mikeside]

Ohhh, it's lovely and warm here.
I can't wait to get home to my Ben and Jerry's peanut butter ice-cream

What the fuck? In Britain? I'm on a diet, but I may have to break it. Dayum.

 

[donkey show]

Alrighty y'all, I need help picking a helmet for roller derby. Which ones out of the 5 in the link should I pick?

DEFINITELY the bottom one.

 

[donkey show]

DEFINITELY the bottom one.

I'm really leaning toward that one... or do I get a white one and make it Neogaf colors? :O

Fuck helmets, what's your DERBY NAME?? Mrs Sniv has Stroppenheimer as her name (I chose it, aw yeah) cos she gets into nuclear strops.

I like the gold one at the top btw

 

[Mikeside]

I'm really leaning toward that one... or do I get a white one and make it Neogaf colors? :O

I dunno man, that bottom helmet is pretty boss. I'd stick to it.

So what actually IS roller derby?

 

[f0rk]

The 2nd one has cool skeleton woman on which makes you look like you flirt with death often so that's good but the 3rd one has lightning on and that's pretty cool as wel

 

[donkey show]

Yeah, I'm kinda stuck between the bottom one and the red lightning one... because it's like a Gundam crest.

I have to pass my minimum skills test before I can pick a name. :S Might have something with Dino... I dunno. Help me!

And I'd pick the gold one, but the one who got me into it wears a gold helmet as well. Can't bite her style.

get white one then make it into Char helmet.


actually fuck it get a char helmet instead

then your Derby Name can be Red Comet

Ask Mrs Sniv when you see her next. I'll step away for a while.

I guess I'm the only one who would get the 4th one down.

Bottom one would be my 2nd choice.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

True, but boiling some pasta is about as menial as cooking tasks get, and he still tripped over the first hurdle.

And he didn't even do it for 10 minutes. Believe me, in the balance of favours, he's well and truly in my pocket!

I don't particularly mind that, it's just, gah, what a culinary clown!

Haha, that was in contention in my head for a long ass time.

The problem is a ton of peeps have a black one, although there's nothing wrong with going classic.

Fourth one down. Get it in white, and spray it Banksy-style. Be individual. Be different. Look like you painted your own helmet. Plus, it doesn't matter if you do it badly - same as tying bow-ties badly, at least they know you've done it yourself.
