    2. Aaron Greenberg: None of our first party games in the [Xbox Showcase] are full CG trailers

      @Aaron Greenberg šŸ™…šŸ¼ā€ā™‚ļøšŸ’šU: None of our first party games in the show are full CG trailers. Everything is either in-game footage, in-engine footage, or in-game footage with some cinematics. Each of our trailers will be labeled so it is hopefully clear for our fans.

    3. True Crime junkies: What have you been watching?

      Iā€™m a true crime fiend, but without cable or Netflix itā€™s hard to discover new lurid murders and cult exposĆ©s to relax with.

      So Iā€™m asking yā€™all: whatā€™s been on your watchlist in the true crime doc department?

      To kick it off, Iā€™ll start: I just binged 5 hours of ā€œThe Curious Case Of Natalia Grace ā€œ

      Not since Making a Murderer or The Bad Vegan have I immediately binged an entire True Crime series.

      So, quick synopsis for those unaware: ** ā€œ Investigation Discovery's "The Curious Case of Natalia Grace" is a six-episode docuseries that explores the case of Natalia Grace, a Ukrainian orphan who was adopted by Michael and Kristine Barnett in 2010.2 Initially thought to be a 6-year-old orphan with a rare bone growth disorder, Natalia was actually a fully grown adult.ā€¦or was she?ā€**

      This oneā€™s a total trainwreck in the best possible way: twists, turns, creeps and weirdos and some odd people just trying to do rightā€¦surreal but highly recommended.

      So Tildes: where is my next fix? I want to to hear any other True Crime junkies chime in with their recent picks!

      I've recently been trying to get an area of my yard to grow with perennial wild flowers. For 2 years straight, I plant seeds and nothing comes up. I'm starting to think that the seeds the store sells are just a scam. Even when I tried to germinate them in potting soil, nothing grew. Anyone here have any sort of advice?

      General Programming Q&A thread! Ask any questions about programming, answer the questions of other users, or post suggestions for future threads.

      Don't forget to format your code using the triple backticks or tildes:

      Here is my schema:
      
      ```sql
      CREATE TABLE article_to_warehouse (
        article_id   INTEGER
      , warehouse_id INTEGER
      )

    7. How do I convert a dictionary in sqlite3, and I want to convert it to something usable by StarDict. Is that possible?

      I don't know if my question makes any sense, and it's okay to say "No, sorry, it doesn't work like that". I have a (pirated) dictionary that has the words and definitions in an sqlite3 database...

      I don't know if my question makes any sense, and it's okay to say "No, sorry, it doesn't work like that".

      I have a (pirated) dictionary that has the words and definitions in an sqlite3 database format.

      I want to convert this into something that can be used by either Fora, GoldenDict, or StarDict.

      Fora can use StarDict, DSL, XDXF, Dictd, and TSV/Plain dictionaries

      GoldenDict can use Babylon .BGL, StarDict .ifo/.dict./.idx/.syn, Dictd .index/.dict(.dz), and ABBYY Lingvo .dsl source files.

      I've found lots of software that goes the other way - it'll take a dictionary and dump it into an sqlite database. But it doesn't go the otherway.

      Is what I'm asking for coherent, does it make any sense?

      (I'd prefer Windows, or FreeBSD, but at this point I'd install Linux to get it done).

    8. Is the egg market collapsing?

      I just saw eggs at $3.06 for a 36 pack at my local Walmart. Not too long ago a 12 pack was pushing close to $7.00 in my area.

      Whatā€™s up with that? Is the greedy egg price gouging catching up with the farms or something?

      Wasnā€™t sure where to put this one.

      Anyone metal detect or coin roll hunt? Or magnet fish?

      I do both, ive coin roll hunted for a year, and I just started metal detecting a month ago

      I'm in canada, which has pros and cons for metal detecting, a con would be all our modern coins are made of plated steel, so they both sound bad when you swing over them, and the rot beyond use in not that long time

      A pro though is we have 1 and 2 dollar coins, in the states you might go a year before swinging over a Sacajawea dollar, but in canada you might find multiple loonies on the first time out

      In a bit over a month, of metal detecting I found 2 sterling rings, a silver dime(it was a fresh drop not ancient) and a sterling earring, the earring was gold plated, I was hoping I found gold till I saw the 925 and makers mark, looked on the makers website and it was all gold plated sterling

      Coin roll hunting I recently hit the jackpot of the year most definitly, four whole rolls of silver dimes, thats $380 and only cost me $20 to aquire
