If there is one thing I can proudly brag about is that I’m part of the Elite that have that running for several years. With few hiccups of missing sessions, and sometimes extra games on the same week as the “main” game.

For those stuck looking for groups, just start it yourself, you’ll be surprised how many people around would like to try and will probably like, but don’t want to start the thing themselves.

When called with n=1 ? It’s from i=0 to i<1, so it will do only one iteration with i=0 and print one #.

Yes, to better understand this you have to understand the “flow” of the program. Meaning the order at which the instructions are executed and not written.

Here you have the flow of the program starting from n =3 until the recursion reach draw(0), note that none of the for loop have been executed yet. At this point it reach the first “return” instruction and go finish the call to draw(0).

Then the flow go back to where it previously was: inside the draw(1) call just after the line calling draw(0). And it start executing the next lines of the draw(1): the for loop.

Then it reach the second “return” and proceed again until the whole program is over.

Yes, as I wrote when the method draw(n=1) finish the for loop that print one “#”, this call of the method draw return. Then the process start again from the after the line draw(n-1) of the method draw(n=2), which execute the for loop to print “##” and return. Then again you come back to after the line draw(n-1) of inside the method draw(n=3), ect.

You should keep in mind that everytime a draw(n-1) is called, the current method is “paused” until this call return.

You are looking at a recursive method, as you can see with the line draw(n-1) inside the draw(n) method. You can search for “recursive function” on internet for a better understanding.

Basically, the method draw is called a first time n = a user input, but then this method call itself with n-1 until it reach 0. So you can think as if function draw(6) will call draw(5) and wait for it to return before continuing, draw(5) call draw(4), ect until draw(0) that return immediately.

So then the order of execution will be draw(1) that print " #\n" and return, then draw(2) will proceed to print “##\n” and return, then draw(3), ect until draw(n).

French “vache”: Meuh

I would say that willingness to exploit other, be selfish and have low ethic also play a big role.

Yeah I had to make an android app for that because one person in the group was taking ages to proceed each rolls …

I would say that the game as a whole is fine but it’s carried by the franchise. The system is not for me, but no doubt a lot of people like it. I cannot even explain why I don’t like it specifically, it just didn’t work for me.

Work related project was a library for curves representation (polynomial, bezier, and a lot of other types) in C++. I liked working on it for several reasons. First one is that I could finally start something from scratch after years of working on legacy code. No dependency on strange old library from the team, only mainstream libraries.

But mostly it was because I learned a lot on this project. I had to mix template programming, heavy use of polymorphism, python bindings of the c++ and serialization together. I had experience in all of this stuff already, but mixing everything together bring a lot of new troubles and you have to understand how it works more in deep to be able to solve them.

I’m not making “famous” open source package with thousands of download and used everywhere, but seeing this package still in use in several other projects (and not only in my initial team) even after I left the initial team feels good. One day someone from my new company recommended to use “my” library as dependency to solve one of our problem, without knowing that I was the author, saying that it was a good well written lib. That’s a nice ego boost!

Lancer ! I did one short scenario (6 sessions IIRC) and the system and combat were a blast ! The story a little bit less, it was a homemade one for the GM. But apparently the published ones are quite good.

Oh I would like to try the star wars D6. I played quite a lot of the ffg star wars because at some point it was the favorite for most of the people in my play group, but I never found it very nice. I love star wars lore, but not this system.

I think it’s more related to the fact that it’s when there is no distractions at all. At least for me that’s probably the reason. No colleagues asking dumb questions, no pointless meeting, nearly no notification whatsoever.

Don’t forget the volcanoes ! Especially the super massive one that is overdue for quite a long time now.

Something with cinnamon in the oven. Even better apple and cinnamon, but that’s probably the nostalgia of my mom’s cooking talking.

Otherwise onion and garlic cooking together with oil in a pan is always smelling amazing. And it’s part of so many recipes that I do frequently that’s it’s probably my main “cooking” smell.

I had a very different experience with mine. I bought a middle range one, not the cheap one, with very good reviews at the time. I absolutely cannot trust it. It’s always getting stuck, getting lost and not able to go back to charging station, or say that it’s “finished” and leav obvious spot of dusts.

My living room is indeed a bit cluttered as it’s not that big, but there is still enough space for it to move…

That I never tried, but by boiling it enough that’s what you will get in the end. I store it in concentrated liquid form, and it’s more convenient to use this way for me.

Careful with powdered chicken stock (or any stock) from supermarket brand. They may have nearly no calorie but a lot of fat, salt and other generally un healthy stuff.

Making chicken stock yourself take time but you can make big batches and use it through the week.

Sounds very good but definitely not low calorie as asked.

One of the recipe of my diet, nothing fancy but taste good for very good nutrional value:

Cook half portion green lens and half red rice (called “wild rice” sometimes) in salted boiling water.

Dice half an onion and cook it with the the oil from the tuna can in a hot pan. After few minutes add the tuna. Separate in small piece with a wooden spoon and cook for ten minutes.

When rice and lens are cooked, dry them, add to the pan, reduce heat to low and mix. Add herbs. Keep cooking and mixing for 4 minutes.

It also really depend the brand you buy. Try to take the cans cooked with olive oil or white wine.

I’m in my 30 with a wife but no kids and I actually see my friends at least once a week. I nearly always have one weekly evening with them for role playing games, some weeks even two. And then maybe once every two weeks or so I meet some of them and others at a bar or restaurant.

But, they are “recent” friends (8-7 years or less) that live in the same city as me. My oldest friends from childhood or high school went slowly out my life after we moved to different cities.
