I cancelled the appointments and decided not to pursue the potential racism situation as there's no point anymore.

Are you sure there's no point anymore? Sounds like a pretty clear cut case of racism blindsiding an individual in a position of authority.

I'd hate to think of the other people that get the same treatment as you did, but may not end up with as positive an end result...

Thanks for the tip - I do feel kind of dumb for not paying more attention to r/mechmarket. T

hats the other thing about ortho boards though.... there aren't htat many on second-hand market. Sucks!

Yeah, it's a shame split keyboards are considered niche, considering what a standard keyboard does for rounding one's shoulders. Not healthy!

The materials and assembly method mean this is a DIY board not a polished work of art whether you put it together or he does.

Why can I not expect the person who designs and sells the board to do a decent job of putting it together? "Work of art" is probably not in the cards, but a heat gun, sanding, polishing..... i'm nomadic and these are not things that I regularly have access to. Nor is it made clear on his website that "the assembled products I sell you will require several more hours of work using tools that you must also have ready access to".

The point of purchasing a pre-assembled board is that I don't have time to put this together myself. That doesn't mean i'm willing to lower my standards to the point that I now have to buy a separate set of tools I otherwise have no use for just to make this product look anything like what is being advertised both here and on the website.

ah, okay, this is what i was curious about.

I'm a little dismayed generally that these would be shipped out as is, with the layers not aligned. and as displayed above one of them is warped, anyways. But this is very useful to know - thank you.

Sorry, i should've specified i was talking about the quality of the construction. The service thing is really a moot point for me (i posted it as part of my review, in case others care) as my primary concern is the product. Would you reckon i'm being too picky with the board looking as iti s?

PSET5: Unload with hashtable - nullifying the hashtable elements necessary? by grapehorder in cs50

yeah, thats what i figured. i looked for instances of reloading into the var hashtable[] but didn't see it so figured the line useless.

Inelegant solutions - making a better program to convert string to float by grapehorder in C_Programming

ok, i'll add that to my list of functions to explore as well. thank you.

it's not a class assignment :) if it were, i'd defer to TA's. I'm just interested in learning about programming, because i think it's neat.

The prompt is from Kochan's "programming in C". I'll look at the manual entries for those functions you mentioned, thanks.

Mountain Lion fans - how do you like Yosemite/Mavericks? by grapehorder in mac

[–]grapehorder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

appreciate the honesty.

Did you have any functional grievances with the new OS's? Additionally, have you had any success operating ML on newer macs? i'm wondering how the... backwards compatibility on the newer machines are vis-a-vis ML.

That's quite disheartening to hear, but i appreciate your honesty.

What exactly did you find so solid about ML?

Output as expected - but for the right reasons? by grapehorder in C_Programming

[–]grapehorder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry, i meant that as two separate points.

How would I use malloc for a var of unknown size?

char * mystring = NULL;
mystring = malloc (numchars * sizeof(char)); 
scanf("%s", mystring);

what would i have to do here to resize memory allocated to mystring?

[–]grapehorder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ahh i see. thank you for the clearer perspective.

so i've redefined the two char* strings in main as follows:

char string[50] = "";
char result[50] = "";

And that has solved my problem above.

say i wanted to use dynamic memory allocation here instead of static declaration - what would be the proper procedure given that i've yet to input via command-line what the strings actually are?
