as long as you already know how to code, it shouldn't be too hard to make an android app for that.

Not enough people today so the session has been skippered!
I'm going to the UAE for a hackathon next week, but I hope I will still be able to put aside enough time for the session.

That's pretty great, low level optimization seems like your jam

Today and next week will have to be a skip 
This week midterms, next week spring break going places.

I hate typical 'clever' C code like this:
The first for loop, especially.
Code: [Select]
char *first_word(char *str){
char *m;
int s,l,i;
for(s=0;str[s]==' '; s++);
for(length = 0; str[s+l]!=' '&&str[s+l]!='\0'; l++);
m = malloc((l+1)*sizeof(char));
for (i=0; i<l; i++)
m[i] = str[s+i];
m[l] = '\0';
return m;
}The first for loop, especially.

Python-like lists in C++, haha.

Don't trust Cinema Sins for anything scientific. Unlike what their Interstellar review said, most of it is actually quite plausible science-wise all the way until they go into the blackhole. After that is entirely sci-fi.
It's very obvious that NDT didn't read Kip Thorne's book (The Science of Interstellar) before pretending he knows everything about the physics involved. I did actually read the book and he's very honest about which parts are basically fact, which parts are plausible, and which parts are just made up mostly. I suggest you give it a read, too! One interesting fact I remember is that Thorne said that Gargantuan is drawn a lot smaller from one of the planets (the ocean one?) than it actually would be, science-wise, for dramatic effect.
Oh yeah, another tidbit is that Interstellar's rendering of a black hole is very true to physics.

« on: March 14, 2017, 09:53:34 pm »I like to cheat by appending a + to the function to coerce it to a number.I'm more worried that sometimes the code will decide to return some completely different type to the one you're normally getting. When the return value is based on external data (e.g. user input) that's also a security risk.All the "Indeed!"
So the main criticisms are that it's slow, it's bulky, it's insecure, and it's fairly random. You have to take extra measures to be sure that the type you're getting is the one you want, e.g. wrapping JavaScript function calls that have to return a number in ParseInt(), which fairly much defeats the purpose of having dynamic types.

I like it. My corp regularly recruits waves of newbies. Before the patch, they almost always disappeared after 2 weeks. Now, they still hang around!

« on: March 09, 2017, 01:52:01 am »using a VNI is a no brainer and its boring. back then people used to rat with a BS or even a BC for that regard. that's why i want to get an armageddon/dominix.
just warp to the site. send the drones and tank the damage. and stay aligned....
yeah and alpha clone can have acces to the VNI, but im not wasting time rolling a new clone for that when i can crawl again to omega with my main character.
thats because ratting is boring! Its largely a solved issue.
