Duff's device is really just a way of abusing C syntax to write loop unrolling as unclearly as possible
 
@KevinvanderVelden Are you including the STL and all that crap or just the basic simple C++ syntax on its own? If you mean everything written in C++ then sure.. If you just mean C++ syntax? I could buy that...
@MBraedley I loved using switch statements to jump through logic ... but in practice never found a good use for it...
 
@James Even then, it kind of depends on what you mean by "know everything about it"
 
@murgatroid99 True True I suppose.. But I think the syntax may be manageable :)
 
I'd say that I know most of the syntax of C++, and I haven't used it very much
 
Want to see a very neat piece of C code?
Check out that single level JSON parser.
 
12:25 AM
I didn't even know you could do array declarations like that
 
@murgatroid99 That code requires an up to date compiler on the specifications for C to get all the label addressing and such
But that is a piece of code that still amazes me
 
@James How up to date?
 
Let me get the revision
Needs to support: &&l_bad
Address of a label
Hmmm
The syntax of the C programming language, the rules governing writing of software in the language, is designed to allow for programs that are extremely terse, have a close relationship with the resulting object code, and yet provide relatively high-level data abstraction. The development of this syntax was a major milestone in the history of computer science as it was the first widely successful high-level language for operating-system development. C syntax makes use of the maximal munch principle. == Data structures == === Primitive data types === The C language represents numbers in three forms...
Box Fail.. pay attention to the anchor!
 
I see. It's a GCC extension
 
Anywho that says its a GCC extension... its hard to search for 'C Specification' I keep getting pesticide labeling :D
I am ..well now 90% sure that became part of the specification though
still hunting
(C110? C130? I have to figure this out now! :D)
 
12:32 AM
I'm pretty sure C11 is the newest, and I suspect that if it had been added to the standard years ago, Wikipedia would have been fixed
 
Yeah my search dates nothing later than 2009-2010 on the topic
and they all point to that extension
My mistake... That is still an amazing piece of code though :)
Its like a stupid programming test... but the code is actually useful and a damn fast JSON parser :D
 
I can't yet figure out what it returns
Also, those macros at the top are awful
well, I guess they're in a C file, so they're not so bad

A: Is it a good idea to dismiss traders as quickly as possible after trade?

walrus helmetShort answer: Yes, if you dismiss a trader, the next one will show up more quickly. I tested this hypothesis in an old save with two trading posts. Data: Columns: Dismissed - Whether I immediately dismissed the trader or not. Trading Post # - I had two trading posts already established in ...

I think this answer deserves more upvotes. There's actual testing and SCIENCE in there.

I think my cat is deaf
I never really considered the possibility but my dad says he's pretty sure she is and it would really explain a lot of her changed behaviour over the last little while
I mean she's almost 17
she doesn't react to noises at all any more
even if I like clap over her head while she's eating
 
@GnomeSlice maybe she's just used to your shit and ignores you
 
no i don't even live there any more
she doesn't look up when you say her name any more either
she used to
 
well, she's 17, probably on her 9th life now
not many cats live that long
my wife had a dog that was 18, she was deaf and half blind
 
1:39 AM
Oh man, so pretty.
cc @GnomeSlice I've updated the Steam Background site. The parsing is more robust, which means Zalgo won't eat my brain it should break a lot less, and everything is finally updated properly

Q: Why does it seem like so few of the songs from the Minecraft soundtrack ever actually play?

RPi AwesomenessI absolutely love the Minecraft soundtrack. However, it seems like that a very select few of the many songs that C418 has written and produced and released in the Minecraft - Volume A & B albums are ever actually played in the game. Looking in the Minecraft/resources/music/ and Minecraft/resourc...

4:39 AM
At least I don't have to get up too early (have to leave my house at ten am)
 
@AshleyNunn I would think that would be a huge selling point :D
 
@AshleyNunn Do you think I should delete my question about the MC soundtrack?
 
user15026
@rpiawesomeness no, because like I said, I am just going on instinct, but don't know enough about it to say for sure. Your edit also makes it sound like maybe something odd is going on for you, if more songs are said to be played in game than you are experiencing.
 
@AshleyNunn Yeah. Just got your other comment.
I think I'll leave it up for now...
 
user15026
I'd say why not, see what the Minecraft knowing people think. :) no use deleting, if it gets closed then deal with it then. For all I know it is a fantastic question and someone had a answer.

Yeah. Good 'ol fashioned pen and paper

my issue is that I have no experience with planning stuff, so I end up changing my mind all the time and paper doesn't work for that very well

WHY NOT BASE THE PROGRESS BAR ON THAT
 
@badp Exactly.

THE END
 
Aaaaand I'm back. Turns out I had to do a hard restart. Logging out didn't fix the problem.
Maybe I'll just use the online docs now. Or bash.
 
Do you at least have some help files now?
 
4:27 PM
Let me see
 
(Also why use bash when you could be using fish.)
 
@Fluttershy Yeah, @Strix and I were talking about i couple of days ago. I think majority of people playing D3 here have mostly stopped playing S2 already, waiting for S3 to start
although S3 starts on April 10th, GTA V gets released on PC on April 14th, so I'm gonna be playing season 3 for less than a week
 
@badp No. I'll use the online docs for now.
 
@Chippies Don't worry, GTA V will actually be bundled on release with Half Life 3 on sixth gen steam machines.
 
@badp by that time I'll be playing GTA XIII-2

@fredley I thought it was satire and I still want to believe it is.
 
@Chippies I already have GTA V on PS3 and PS4... But I'm considering getting it on PC so I can do heists with people.
 
@Chippies The ad has to be pre-mid-1970's, if that makes you feel any better.
 
@Fluttershy I don't have any of the consoles on which GTA V was released
@TimStone Sometimes I feel like 1970s only exist in present as a satire age, because it's just so ridiculous it's hard to believe 1970s actually existed
 
I'm willing to go along with that.

Gah, chrome totally locked
oddly enough, it wasn't "not responding", it just actually wasn't responding
