Post count...

[Solar]

This is my 5959th post. With this, my post count equals Pype.Clicker (to whom I bow in reverence, a shame he doesn't visit here anymore).

I feel old.

Ah well.

Do we throw a party on my 6000th post, or what?

[Combuster]

Well, I *am* in Germany mid-august. Maybe...

Solar, you're too old to party.

And where is Pype ?

[Combuster]

As far as I know, Pype's in the french alpes hiding from world's insanity. That or he switched careers. I only really know why he left, not whereto.

If age is measured in post counts, then some geezers remain babies for the rest of their days.

Anyway Solar, congratulations. Looks like an anniversary to me.

Pype.Clicker the best mod Mega Tokyo and OSdev has had, he is so mist

Stop it, you're making my eyes all cloudy.

No flowers, please. Instead, I welcome contributions to my care insurance fund.

(Gosh, I have to update that 10-year-old avatar...)

[Combuster]

Now you really deserve that nice cup of wisdom tea

Congratulations! Even though some people here may think that 0x1800 or even 0x2000 posts will be an even better occasion for a party than the strange number of 0x1770

Combuster, are you already at the party?

Code: Select all

Party* party = new Party(Solar);

while(true)
{
    party->addGuest();
    party->removeDrunkGuests();

    if(party->getGuestCount() == 0)
        break;

    if(party->getGuestCount() <= Solar->getHomeSize())
        continue;

    party->extendToGarden();
}

Solar->cleanHome();
delete party;

(I'm almost sure you'll find a mistake in this code...)

[Solar]

Two, actually:

• It should be party->removeDisorderlyGuests(), not party->removeDrunkGuests(). I don't care about blood alcohol level as long as you don't get rude, stain the floors or break furniture.
• As Combuster (who actually visited me a couple of weeks ago - thanks for the cup and the cakes!) will attest, getHomeSize() returns a ridiculous number already, and party->extendToGarden() will most likely keep that loop from terminating. Which is not a bad thing per se, but I doubt my funds and / or your livers can keep up with a non-terminating party.

As Combuster will attest, party->extendToGarden() will most likely keep that loop from terminating.

Sufficient space to maintain a small flock of sheep. The world would probably not be big enough for sheep and the gardener .

I'm really interested to know why he left in the first place, may I?
@Solar: knock knock, uninvited guest in the party.

I'd bet on the #1 killer of computer projects: Graduation from university.

Well, unfortunately his original comment is illegible, but it boiled down to being fed up with the mess that is x86 and trying to keep up with it. That doesn't exclude the presence of contributing reasons such as the one Solar mentioned, but it was the argument he came with.
