hey speaking of c++ someone help me understand what my crazy teacher is talking about

got an assignment to make a linked list, simple enough but she's asking me to pass an int to the functions that remove either a head or tail node and i have no idea why


i mean i get that there should be a function to remove a given value from the list but neither RemoveHead or RemoveTail do that in the spec as far as i can tell (we were just given a class prototype with commented code that says "removes item from head" and "removes item from tail")

Just yesterday some guy I know had a v. similar assignment he was trying to do. That kind of poo poo is v. difficult to help with because typically its not the actual logic part thats hard, its hard because they are usually trying to teach you some bullshit programming technique that nobody actually uses and you have to do it exactly the way they want it.

if all else fails just pass a random int to the function and don't actually use it in the function for anything.

i'm betting she means 'do it this number of times'. like maybe she's trying to teach you recursion or something in a really dumb and obtuse way.

OBAMA BIN LAUGHIN posted:

so what is the int for
the int is just a roundabout way of returning both a bool (which is what the method was returning) and an int. it wasnt visible from the code itself but if you read the text below it the int is being passed by reference which i failed to notice in the prototype and my definition code i copy/pasted

so you pass the method the int, it sets it to the value you're removing from the list then deletes the node so you can output what you actually took out

really simple but lol who actually reads things these days

So is Objective-C more comparable to C++ (both direct off-shoots of C), or is it more comparable to Java (which was partly inspired by ObjC)? I guess comparable means the level of "advancedness" as a language, I know that's a really vague and lovely metric so just answer this in whichever way you feel is best.

i remember once some guy wrote a minecraft plugin that did whatever and also gave him admin access to your server

this was discovered when he repeatedly unbanned himself from someone's server after they banned him for being an immature babby and then banned the owner

when he got caught his defense was 'well microsoft does it too!'

02:56 FullDisclosure A little advice Doridian
02:56 FullDisclosure Distance yourself a bit more from your users.
02:56 Doridian what you mean?
02:56 FullDisclosure I mean that the fact that someone is using your software should actually be an irrelevance.
02:57 FullDisclosure Beyond that they may need your help and support from time to time
02:57 Doridian its due to the fact of me being hated on like everywhere for no reason
02:57 Doridian i just couldn't be bothered with being hated
02:57 Doridian on my own software
02:57 Doridian in real life i am being hated for not being a follower
02:57 Doridian in the internet i am hated for being a furry
02:57 Doridian its sooo nice
02:57 FullDisclosure That is unfortunate. But the nice thing about the internet is you can control what people see of you.
02:58 FullDisclosure I don't have a problem with you being a furry. It is inconsequential to me.
02:58 FullDisclosure However if some people have a problem, there's no reason for them to know at all - is there?
02:58 Doridian they do know, though
02:58 Doridian they just see my avatar
02:58 Doridian my skin
02:58 Doridian and are like OMGWTFBBQ FURFAG
02:59 FullDisclosure So have a different avatar and skin then.
02:59 Doridian and i just cannot be bothered with that
02:59 Doridian no
02:59 Doridian i am not changing for them
02:59 FullDisclosure Well I can't argue with that too much.
02:59 Doridian i am myself
02:59 Doridian and show it with pride
02:59 FullDisclosure There is definitely a point to being who you are.
02:59 Doridian its like saying a black person to paint his skin white
02:59 Doridian so nazis don't hate him
02:59 FullDisclosure Anywho, we're going slightly off topic here.
02:59 Doridian yes, we are
03:00 FullDisclosure The reason that people were upset is that the ability for you to join a server, and the fact that you cannot be kicked or banned from MCAdmin servers
03:00 FullDisclosure was not disclosed ahead of time
03:00 Doridian ummmm, most people aren't upset
03:00 Doridian its like what
03:00 Doridian 8 people?
03:00 Doridian of my userbase of above 400
03:00 FullDisclosure Thats only the people that have commented.
03:01 FullDisclosure In the 2 hours since I made the post
[...]
03:14 Doridian if someone asks me to leave a server
03:14 Doridian i leave
03:14 Doridian you dont need to be harsh and ban me
03:14 FullDisclosure That's not your decision though is it, that's the decision of the server owner.
03:14 FullDisclosure They don't have to have a reason at all to kick or ban anyone
03:14 FullDisclosure it is their choice
03:15 Doridian well
03:15 FullDisclosure But explicitly prohibiting users from kicking or banning you is not on.
03:15 Doridian if i remove the devmode
03:15 Doridian or make it ask
03:15 Doridian i will ust firewall ipban anyone from the master server
03:15 Doridian who has me banned on their server
03:15 Doridian means
03:15 Doridian no global bans
03:15 Doridian no master list
03:15 Doridian no auto updates
03:15 Doridian no getting external ip
03:15 FullDisclosure Why would it mean that?
03:16 Doridian i dont waste my resources
03:16 Doridian on people who dislike me
03:16 Doridian my server is already short on resources
03:16 Doridian no need to waste them on people not liking me
03:16 FullDisclosure Doridian this seems to be less of a issue of security and more about your personal hangups.

03:18 FullDisclosure Its more a matter of design principal than anything else
03:18 FullDisclosure Regardless of whether or not you would or wouldn't abuse it
03:18 Doridian well
03:18 FullDisclosure It shouldn't even be possible for you to abuse it
03:18 Doridian i could abuse the autoupdate feature
03:18 Doridian to make them run ANY code i want
03:18 Doridian sooo
03:18 FullDisclosure Indeed you could
03:18 Doridian i technically have all power
03:19 FullDisclosure Indeed you do
03:19 Doridian so they should not bitch about one little thing
03:19 Doridian allowing me to run commands on their server
03:19 FullDisclosure Thats not a little thing
03:19 FullDisclosure Your software shouldn't let you personally do anything without the user A) Knowing, and B) having given permission
03:20 Doridian windows ToS state
03:20 FullDisclosure Some of the software I've written I give away for free
03:20 Doridian microsoft may disable your windows
03:20 Doridian at any time
03:20 Doridian without a reason
03:20 Doridian if you ever read that
03:20 FullDisclosure Yes, and it says so in the TOS.
03:20 FullDisclosure Until today though, you didn't have one
03:20 Doridian now the MCAdmin ToS do too
03:21 FullDisclosure everyone was entirely in the dark until today
03:21 Doridian i know it was not good not having that
03:21 Doridian but i know that now
03:21 FullDisclosure how many people would have known otherwise
03:21 FullDisclosure well that's a start at least.
03:21 FullDisclosure However it does not disclose that you can be an admin without asking
03:21 FullDisclosure I know you wouldn't, but you can.
03:21 Doridian i cannot be an admin
03:22 Doridian i cannot !setrank myself
03:22 Doridian deliberately
03:22 FullDisclosure No but Developer mode lets you run any command you wish
03:22 FullDisclosure You shouldn't be able to do that without the admin approving it first
03:22 FullDisclosure Regardless of your intentions
03:23 FullDisclosure There are lots of installations of software I've written, both free and paid software
03:23 FullDisclosure I have no control over any of them
03:23 FullDisclosure Unless an admin explicitly gives that control to me
03:23 Doridian i never built backdoors into my software until now
03:23 FullDisclosure Well now is a good time to stop.
03:23 Doridian and i released quite some
03:24 Doridian and from this
03:24 Doridian i learnt another thing
03:24 Doridian never will i release something for free again
03:24 Doridian not to the general public
03:24 FullDisclosure You're over reacting.
03:24 Doridian the general public contains too many idiots
03:24 Doridian no
03:24 Doridian i am seeing my software
03:24 FullDisclosure Seriously - All you need to do in this case is change developer mode to ask the server admin first
03:25 Doridian like it would be a children of myself
03:25 Doridian a child*
03:25 Doridian if someone bans me
03:25 Doridian it feels me like my kid getting taken away from me
03:25 FullDisclosure Well thats a problem in itself, Being attached to your software (or its installations) is never a good idea.
03:25 Doridian software isn't just software to me
03:25 FullDisclosure and in all serious Doridian
03:25 FullDisclosure and I mean this entirely sincerely
03:25 Doridian i spent hours and shitloads of hours on MCA
03:25 FullDisclosure that if that is how you see your software and the installations
03:25 FullDisclosure you may need some help, or someone to talk to
03:26 FullDisclosure I know how great it is having some software that people like and want to use
03:26 Doridian i prefer computers to people
03:26 Doridian they don't let you down
03:26 Doridian they don't lie to you

you don't need to understand pointers or know c to be a good programmer


however

you should know c in order to write c code


and you definitely should know c if you are going to criticize apple about their c superset language, especially if your criticism is just a criticism of the c language



in conclusion you don't need to know c but perhaps knowing c is a good idea if you are going to post rants about c code

my senior year at college i went to some talk from a CS master's guy who was trying to say "as soon as we have infinite memory we can do all kinds of amazing things!!"

and every systems researcher in the audience facepalmed because you loving have infinite memory right now the problems are making the chunks you're working on fast enough
