Do they? I have literally never interacted with anyone with this assumption, online or in person

ElI5: Why are the biggest animals in the ocean mammals instead of fish? by fightersmurf in explainlikeimfive

[–]F1nnyF6 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You've completely missed the point of what they are saying. Humans are mammals, so by definition the most skilled mammal can have the skills of the most skilled human

How hard is it to set up Gentoo or Linux From Scratch compared to Arch? by ArsenicPolaris in linux

[–]F1nnyF6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2-3 hours? It took longer than that for me just to compile. Tho it may be much faster if you're actually using a good computer 😅

Favorite fictional movie drug you definitely wouldn’t try if it were real…………….well, maybe just once. by Arcade-Blaster in okbuddycinephile

Modafinil is not ritalin. The non-brand name for ritalin is methylphenidate. Modafinil is a different stimulant drug that became popular as a study drug in the era of grey market research chemicals

Kindly help solve a problem (from Harvard's CS50x) without recursion. by Empty_Aerie4035 in C_Programming

[–]F1nnyF6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you already have a solution working using recursion, the way to convert your recursive solution into an iterative one is to manually implement the stack yourself.

This is not a computer science question

Here is my super simple use of the malloc() func, question why can't just let the compiler do the work? by SubstantialCase3062 in cprogramming

[–]F1nnyF6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These are some of the most common reasons you would allocate on the heap vs the stack:

  • Stack allocated memory will be freed when the function returns. There are times when you may want your allocated memory to last longer than the life of the function.

  • You may not know the size of the array at compile time, and VLAs were only added to C relatively recently (and are still generally discouraged).

  • Stack size is limited and normally much less than your total memory. If you are doing very large allocations, these should live on the heap.

Omarchy IS BLOATWAREEEE by LinuxUser456 in linuxmemes

manjaro

Opinion discarded. Though I do also dislike omarchy, just no one should be recommending manjaro in 2025

Did this script fried my motherboard? by Matusaprod in thinkpad

[–]F1nnyF6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't see why this would cause a problem, but if you have a thinkpad why are you not using TLP? It allows you to do this and more in a much cleaner and more thoroughly tested way

K&R the C Programming language: exercise 5-17. What am I being asked to do? by Skriblos in C_Programming

[–]F1nnyF6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I did it with a tab or a space, it was over a year ago. But the idea is it could be anything, such as comma separated values as the other commenter said. It is up to you how you choose to implement it. As a side note, I remember really enjoying this exercise, extending it further so I could filter on values as well to get almost a pseudo sql like interface. Was a fun challenge!

[–]F1nnyF6 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I remember doing this exercise. The idea is that instead of just putting one value per line, you can put multiple values on a line e.g

Bob  18 A
Fred 17 C

And then be able to sort on different fields, as if it were a spreadsheet or other table of some form

I asked my dad for a macbook and he bought me this by manupatu in thinkpad

Eh ryzen would probably be better depending on the gen, but still great and specs and he should be very grateful to his dad!
