it actually is though if you have frame pointers

which usually points to a place in a sequentially allocated array of memory comprising both the call stack and variable allocation stack (usually explaining the need for a frame pointer), qed

but yes, i guess ur right in that call stacks do have a pointer component even as they leverage locality as well

an array. use arrays for as many things as possible. random reads from RAM are slow as hell compared to sequential. every L2 cache miss is a traffic jam on the 8-lane freeway that's a modern cpu's execution pipeline :iiaca:

dearest yospos is it a good sign when you send your resume to a local company on craigslist at 9pm and one of their engineering managers sends you an email an hour later saying that your resume is interesting and they want to talk to you

i think they make surgery recording systems or something

yeah you should definitely followup with them

the research manager in a certain formula 1 lab gave me, a fresh university grad at the time, a full tour of their facilities [including the simulator which loving owns] just because i followed up and sounded interested [i was until i learned the salary :sigh:, it's good enough but i was earning double and wanted to quit to earn more which i did]

e: i didnt ask for the tour btw

depends what you mean by "better"?

best practise would be MVVM and a simple app would be a good way to learn the basics
if speed of development is paramount then for such a simple app you could do without following that design pattern and just munge it all together
