  1. I could see a lot of use out of something like this. I travel a lot and my desktop weighs about 50 pounds.
  2. Is there anywhere that isn't having economic problems right now?
  3. IMO focusing on security makes you seem better, in terms of IT, as long as you are already a competent developer. I suspect most companies want to not be destroyed by hackers. BTW, if you're in Ontario, don't claim to be an engineer without a license. The PEO can take severe legal action here.

    I can't find sad dragon porn though... also they'll ban me if I post it

    ok so I think I figured it out and Cicada 3301 has contacted me

  13. Seriously though, you should learn INTERCAL. If you can learn programming from that, you should probably be on some kind of watch list.
  14. I decided to try implementing my terrible sorting algorithm idea. I couldn't get it to sort more than 7 numbers with a 200 MB stack size. lol edit: I think I figured out how to fix the stack overflow problem with tail recursion. I'll update with results if it works. might take a few hours to sort all 8 numbers though. update: it looks like it works, but sorting an 8 int array seems like it'll take a few days void shuffle(int *unshuffled, int len){ int shuffled[len]; char mask[len]; for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) mask[i] = 0; for (int j, i = 0; i < len; i++) { do { j = rand() % len; } while(mask[j] != 0); mask[j] = 1; shuffled[j] = unshuffled[i]; } memcpy(unshuffled, shuffled, len * sizeof(int));}/*if length > 2, call crap_sort on both halves of the arrayshuffle the unsorted array aroundif not sorted, call crap_sort*/void crap_sort(int *unsorted, int len){ crap_sort_start: if (len > 2) { int left_len = len/2; crap_sort(unsorted, left_len); crap_sort(unsorted + left_len, len - left_len); } shuffle(unsorted, len); for (int i = 1; i < len; i++) { if (unsorted[i] < unsorted[i - 1]) { goto crap_sort_start; } }}
  15. I've heard a lot of people say OO makes it easier to organize code, but easier to work with is a whole other thing... IMO Java and C#'s implementation are a bit confusing, compared to C++, apart from multiple inheritance.
  16. I've literally never heard anyone say that before... C# and C syntax are fairly similar.
  17. you can't say you're bad at math, you're not even learning real math yet.
  18. If you want to stay out of prison, no I'm sure any community that has porn that would need to be on tor would be extremely difficult to find, anyway. If a random guy on the internet can find it, the FBI can find it too. I thought you were talking about some Tor version of Grindr, the first time I read this. "Hit men on" turned into "hit on men" for me lol
  19. Isn't the kind of fetilizer that explodes an oxidizer? Unless it was mixed with something, I can't imagine that kind of explosion coming from it alone. Could have also been a weapons shipment that exploded.
  20. Illegal implies this is a criminal issue. It's just a terms of service violation, a civil issue.
  21. If you forgot a } all of the methods after that won't be visible to the webpage... That's what I call a terrible syntax.
  22. Just remember, just because your professor said it, doesn't make it right. I had a prof tell the class that i += i+++++i; is valid. He later mentioned how to optimize an if statement that made literally 0 difference with compiler optimizations. I actually timed it to see how stupid it was to care. How much of the c language did they get wrong?
  23. Go make find a team and play scrims

    i dont see why people think the fx 8350 is so hot?

    direct die cooling isn't actually more efficient, thermal resistance on the solder joint to a chip with a soldered heatspreader is much lower than that of TIM.
  25. do you actually think no one uses C anymore? Or C++ for that matter? Since learning C is necessary to learn C++, since a C++ is an extension of C. Also, is your idea of an exciting programming language one that removes as much creativity as possible in how you're structuring your code? In C# if you need a dynamically resizing array, you don't learn how to build one, you just use the one that exists, same thing with sorting algorithms, memory management, error handling. Googling the documentation is not my idea of fun... xTrekStorex, on 06 Aug 2015 - 08:42 AM, said: You only mentioned it about Delphi. Seemed like an implicit implication, since you didn't mention it about the other ones. You might as well learn to program before you try to figure out how to work with an API. In WinForms and ASP.NET there are a lot of fairly difficult things to debug, especially when dealing with event handlers. On console, at least you'll be able to step through the code and figure out where it's dying. You can't do that when an event handler breaks. What part is confusing you?
