A computer virus that... acts like a vaccine?

I was wondering when something like this would happen. Isn't it great?

Not so much a programming question but where would be a good place to keep all of my programming projects for possible employers/curious individuals to see?

I've heard that it is pretty much industry standard to examine github pages. Those are generally better looking and have the upside of not requiring a curious programmer to deal with archives if they have git installed. Which they should.

Git is the best.

I should make a tutorial on git actually. That could be useful here.

This thread started 3 years ago. The majority of criticisms seem to be about Avatar. None of them mention how it's Pocahontas in space.

Tell me how it isn't.

Something else to keep in mind: when using C++, you should generally avoid this sort of multidimensional array. Calls to malloc are expensive.

Or you can get a different memory allocation scheme such as the one discussed here, http://goog-perftools.sourceforge.net/doc/tcmalloc.html,
 which looks quite fast. Ultimately you have to understand that you don't want to allocate this kind of thing once, generally. You can reuse the addresses returned as much as you want.

Alternately you can reimplement something like the std::array class and build a custom addressing mechanism. It would look something like
template<int N> class m_array_addr{
   size_t args[N];
   public:
     m_array_addr(size_t *args){
        this->args = new size_t[N];
        for(int i=0;i<N;i++)
             this->args[i]=args[i];
    }
};
template<typename T, int N> class multi_array{
 private:
   T *data;
   size_t rank[N];//the number of elements in each dimension
 public:
   T& operator[](const m_array_addr<N>& indx)const{
       size_t index=0;
       for(int i=0;i<N;i++)
           index= indx.args[i]+index*rank[i];
       return data[index];
   }
   
};

I think that's right. It has been a while since I did something akin to this, and that indexing thing is horner's rule, so it ought to work with efficiency about as good as you'll get with machine sized words.

This isn't relevant but  const_cast, reinterpret_cast and static_cast are the most delightful way to smash reference control and make things mutable inside of const methods.

You would be a infamous necromancer who would live on the roads, and you would die in the canyons of Purplecry, during an ambush.

Hmm, perhaps I should cancel my vacation there.

Good job on getting these things out so quickly.

I'm back with information, if you want to have your dwarves be obnoxiously fast, add the tag
[APPLY_CREATURE_VARIATION:STANDARD_BIPED_GAITS:1:1:1:1:1:0]

to dwarves. This is useful to know...

Hey guys, can anyone get the SPEED tag to work? I can't cheat like I used to.
 

Anyway, not terribly important, but I'd like to know if it still works.

EDIT: Welp, now that I can't use SPEED, is there an alternative?
