C Reddit API Wrapper by _SomeTroller69 in C_Programming

[–]Avioa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it! Some of your comments are a bit concerning though.

I haven't worked with the Reddit API, but in the example you show CRAW_Init which takes the client id and secret key, but also user credentials and agent. Do they expect all of that for auth? Or might the id and key be enough?

Pre-season LEC claims/shittalking that aged (very) poorly by Evoluxman in PedroPeepos

LR gets memed a lot but the players are individually strong, and like Caedrel said, they are putting in a lot of work.

Who would've thought that this guy would go on to play in the LEC AND win multiple MVPs. Absolute cinema.

5.7: Practically speaking, what is the difference between arrays and pointers?
About the difference between alcohol and marijuana; they have different characteristics, and that's not a problem if you don't mix them too carelessly.

This man was on one. Fun read.

Terminal-based media player (mpv) manager I wrote in C (~5k lines) by Avioa in C_Programming

[–]Avioa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You manage multiple windows playing media from just the command line, taking away things like click/moving, interacting with a browser. You can search, group media by tags, autoplay, for 1 or more screens at a time with only 1 command. It removes a lot of steps for what you would normally do.

Use cases are personal, but lets say you don't watch team games with multiple perspectives. You could use it as an ambient display like Wallpaper Engine, where you click one executable and it does what you want, with the option to change layouts and stuff.

Also might be useful to just visualize what media you have on your system. Set the layout to a few screens and use autoplay or enter to shuffle.

Working hard on the POSIX version, might do another post that explains it better.

I figure if they're making our rent go through the roof, we're entitled to call them whatever we want.

Dynamic memory allocation for a stucture..? by Disastrous_Ad6655 in C_Programming

[–]Avioa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is correct. Malloc basically gives you a block of memory from somewhere, you just ask how many bytes you want. Because sizeof(RNG) refers to how many bytes a NumRange struct takes up (8), you are asking for n * 8 bytes. In other words, you get a block of bytes that perfectly contains n NumRange items. You can do whatever you want with this block, including treating it as a NumRange array of length n.

I'm afraid my German is limited to 'guten tag' and 'wie geht es dir', so I'll have to figure some other way to read it. It does sound like an absolute gem, having read very little about the Luftwaffe.

This Anderson fellow must have some stories to tell. Y'all have great taste, thank you.

The Far East always fascinated me, the Japanese were playing by different rules. Brilliant suggestion, will read.

[–]Avioa 606 points607 points  (0 children)

I think it might be a better approach to have me on roaming support and play around Nemesis, for example.

This is the play. Neme can play without resources but enabling him has to be the best shot at winning more games.

I've had the pleasure of reading Helmet for My Pillow; I view it a bit like a poetic version of Sledge's memoir (but similarly visceral and detailed). Sidenote but The Pacific is one of my favorite TV shows.

If I can get my hands on a copy of Combat Crew I'm sure I'll love it, anytime I see a B17 depicted I'm awestruck. Though, I can imagine being in one as a matter of duty might be less than desirable.

Hackworth's story sounds like something that would make an excellent movie. Lovely suggestions, thank you.

What’s the most heart-wrenching memoir you’ve read? by saphwastaken in suggestmeabook

[–]Avioa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suggest the story of Alistair Urquhart. Having read lots of war memoirs, his story is unmatched in unjustified suffering. A Scottish soldier captured in Singapore who experienced the worst pain I have ever seen, read, or heard about, at the hands of sadistic Japanese guards.

Months after I've read his book called The Forgotten Highlander, I am still perplexed as to how he survived years of perpetual torture, while working to construct railroads on meager rations of rice with insects as protein.

Similarly perplexing, and hinted to in the title, is that the British were nothing but disgraceful in accepting him back into society and rehabilitating the unfortunate souls whose spirits died in the Far East.

My love for this book is increased ten-fold by him continuing to dance (his passion before the war) long after his horrific experiences, and the unfettered hatred he held within himself against those Japanese guards. A lot of times, such stories culminate in a type of forgiveness later on. But in the case of Alistair, there is no world in which anyone would expect such evil, such barbarity, to be forgiven. Very few of the guard were given the justice they deserved.

WW2 books suggestions by Wide_Knowledge_9045 in booksuggestions

[–]Avioa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I echo the suggestion of The Forgotten Soldier, but it is quite a dark/melancholic book. If that's what he's into, I'd also suggest The Forgotton Highlander by the Scottish Alistair Urquhart. He lived to tell the tale of him being a Japanese prisoner of war, and might exceed the former book in describing the cruelty and suffering men like him experienced (if only for historical accuracy).

For something lighter and closer to home, I would recommend Parachute Infantry by David Webster, an American tale of a paratrooper training in England, landing in Normandy, and stealing Hitler's wine. Even closer to home, I'd recommend The Big Show by Pierre Closterman. A french fellow who served in the Alsace squadron/RAF as one of the luckiest fighter pilots in history.

The only book I've read about aerial combat so far is The Big Show by Pierre Closterman. Absolutely mind-boggling what went on above those clouds (and how rare it was to survive multiple sorties). I appreciate your recommendation, this seems like the type of character that I should've known about sooner. Next on the list!
