Exactly. They're junk sites. The one nice thing about the soapbox was it was a place of "peers", not just crazy randoms.

Yeah, but you want to bring those discussions here?

The soapbox was just about the only interesting discussions CP ever had.

We'll have to agree to disagree on that one.

I partially (actually mostly) agree... the biggest problem is that most of those decent / interesting discussions degrade to meaningless flame wars and endless loops that brought nothing more to the topic and were just for the sick of "who has it longer" or "You are wrong, and I am right".
There have been more than enough chances to keep it in the interesting level, those chances were always missused and now... it is gone.
Let it rest in peace.

Closing the SoapBox failed -
As for who's not taking "No" for an answer - just "peruse the views", below.
It seems to me that, when it comes to "the rule of law" in any of its forms, some believe it to be a one-way street which they ride down on their high horses.

To be fair, I did warn that what was once restricted to the Soapbox would spill over to the other forums, because the only outlet we had was ri[pped out from under us.

So why did y'all remove it? I don't recall seeing anything regarding that.

I, in fact, do recall that post. Distantly in my mind, I thought of that old saw:
"Hope for the best; expect the worst; and you'll never be disappointed".
Somehow if someone could convince everyone to believe they're expected to be 'the grownup in the room' . . . naah. That's delusional on my part.

I think you're being overly sensitive about that post. It was harmless. You seem to be trying to gloat since he was one of your soapbox enemies. Therefore, your post is also in violation of the Lounge rules.

No. Applying derogatory labels to political leanings, using the basic vernacular of the Soapbox, is exactly the point.
Add to that the total irrelevance to the context of the OP(s) and you have something pretty obvious going on. Unless, of course, you agree with the aspersions, at which point they are considered no big deal.

Well I ran into something.
If you want to do a B+ tree or B-tree as a disked based container you have to lay your file out in blocks.
The trouble with that is that so many .NET types are not fixed length when they serialize (and even then, their serialization is cluttered with typeinfo i don't need - i already know the type)
so i either have to modify the B+ trees and B-trees substantially and go above and beyond what traditional database systems do by allowing indexable arbitrary length fields in a "table".
Failing that I'd have to abandon the dictionary based disk indexers and go full on ADO.NET provider, which is a ton of overhead in terms of labor.
I'm leaning toward the latter but holy cow, do i have my work cut out for me.
Unless any of you have other ideas?
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

didn't Chris tell you to back off?
If you had some sense you'd just block me and move on with your life.
