13) Comic bags & boards (& dividers) are EXPENSIVE

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 14 November 2006 15:11 (nineteen years ago)

Aren't they more expensive than record bags?

― roc u like a § (ex machina), Tuesday, 14 November 2006 15:34 (nineteen years ago)

Maybe!

100 comic bags = $4.99*
100 comic boards = $7.99*
25 dividers = $12.99*

* = best guess

14) i need to send my brand new comp in for 'repairs' (FUCK YOU STUPID PARTYGOERS SPILLING ROBITUSSIN ON MY KEYBOARD) . the thing isn't fucked, which is good, but several keys are almost too sticky to press down any longer. and the sensor that lights up the keys no longer works.

Bagging & boarding while watching TV and snacking on Japanese jellied candies = priceless

linux causes first date awkwardness for me:

me: at least you aren't a LINUX nerd!
cute boy: uh...
me: oh, i mean, i thought you used mac OS
cute boy: it's my first mac
me: oh, well, i mean, uhhhm, i have nothing against linux users as long as they don't constantly berate me for using an inferior operating system
cute boy: i am just surprised you know what linux is.

18. too stupid to use ableton live

― PRKLTR (flezaffe), Saturday, 18 November 2006 11:22 (nineteen years ago)

19. too poor to pwn ableton, etc... demo software has been somewhat annoying and/or unusable so i feel your pain. funny how something like audacity is totally straightforward and yet these really pricey programs can be hard and annoying. (aka book + class industry cha ching!)

20. never finished my drum machine/sampler software even tho i was not far from being done with it and now the APIs i was using are out of date and/or i think i misplaced the source code with a hard drive crash. it was kinda nice tho. 8 channels. 16 beat slots. each channel you could pick a wav sample. you could turn shit on and off real time. too bad it was .NET/DirectSound tho which kind of makes it windoze only. blah.

TS: TVM vs. IRR

― Edward III (edward iii), Thursday, 8 February 2007 17:23 (eighteen years ago)

dan - the 12C? yeah my dad had one too! still classic if you are down with the reverse polish

― bell labs (bell_labs), Thursday, 8 February 2007 17:26 (eighteen years ago)

the notation of TVM was the biggest hurdle there. after that it was a breeze. note that you can't solve for IRR without doing iterative calculations; shit is never, ever worth the effort.

A guy in my Financial Analysis class had an HP-12C and it was a pain in the ass to use. I was like next time don't buy a calculator from the Brady Bunch.

Not necessarily in the JVM

I've written a compiler for the JVM dude. Anyway, there's cases where multiple code branches could assign to it and all kinds of stuff.

― Charmmy Kitty's Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (ex machina), Thursday, 8 February 2007 17:48 (eighteen years ago)

Then you'll know that finals are marked with ACC_FINAL, so it should be a case of setting ACC_WILL_BE_FINAL but not ACC_FINAL until the VM first deals with it, at which point ACC_FINAL can be set.

― you win again, gravity! (tissp), Thursday, 8 February 2007 17:50 (eighteen years ago)

(by which I mean when the first putfield occurs)

― you win again, gravity! (tissp), Thursday, 8 February 2007 17:51 (eighteen years ago)

(admittedly that sort of skirts round the multiple branches issue, but I think it holds up)

― you win again, gravity! (tissp), Thursday, 8 February 2007 17:52 (eighteen years ago)

I don't think I ever played with final variables, but I think you're just making ACC_WILL_BE_FINAL up. Handling the multiple branch thing is going to bloat the code and its not really for a good reason.

What are you using to do this? I used http://jakarta.apache.org/bcel/ back in like 2003? :/

Sorry, should have been clearer--I am making up ACC_WILL_BE_FINAL as a VM extension.
