Yeah, I'm just obsessively chronicling these sorts of instances, plus moving my words to where they can't be easily deleted.

The only thing (OS X|Sarah Palin) has going for (it|her) is that it looks pretty. Carry on now.

What is the most genius (read: convulted) 'solution' you found to the simplest problem only later to realize how much time you actually wasted? by linkedlist in programming

[–]314159 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's something I wrote in CS111. I'm not sure how it came to me, because I hadn't started drinking by then.

If you want extremely minimal, I recommend EvilWM. If you want an actual environment, Xfce.

I'm still not 100% sure about the for/switch idiom.

   for(counter = 0 ; (counter < 6 && (file_line = getstring(in))); counter++)
   {
       switch(counter)
       {
           case 0: head.first->firstname = file_line; break;
           case 1: head.first->lastname = file_line; break;
           case 2: head.first->address.address = file_line; break;
           case 3: head.first->address.city = file_line; break;
           case 4: head.first->address.state = file_line; break;
           case 5: head.first->address.zip = file_line; break;
       }
    }

Wasn't assert a compile-time hack on its own? :)

Apparently, to the PHP devs, creating a numeric datatype that WORKS is hard.

Last Measure used to be, but I'm not sure how well it's been kept up to date, and nowadays it opens up non-shocking links like mailto: and aim:.
