This isn't eloquence. It's angst.

Despite the answers provided by fellow HNers, even if there wasn't a loop-less way to handle the scenario in Python, I assert that taking advantage of a language feature doesn't necessarily equate to "altering your thinking". You may find y

It takes guts to put yourself out there, so I appreciate the bravery, but the content quality is pretty sub-par. Compare to /r/learnprogramming's FAQ: http://www.reddit.com/r/learnprogramming/faq#HowdoIgetstarte... Keep writing, though! I

> "A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming, is not worth knowing" Makes a good quote, but I don't buy it from a practical perspective. Library support is my primary motivation in choosing which scripting langu

Minus the whole "rounding down" thing.

I work with curses a LOT for fun server utilities on our big-screen monitor at work. Super excited to give this a go.

Perhaps it's just been by a series of improbable coincidences that in the years I have read forums, IRC logs, books, and articles, I've only seen the term here on HN.

I do the same, but mainly because my 3GS in an Otterbox barely fits in my pocket.

It might just be me. I just find it obnoxious.

I'm sorry, but can we please stop with the 'grok' thing?

by RegEx 14y ago
Yes. Bind a toggle between dvorak and qwerty, and get to playing. Your trash talking may suffer for a while, but you'll manage.

Well I was simply meeting exercise requirements, which aren't necessarily the most practical.

by RegEx 14y ago
Correct. This is also why you do not need to cast the result of malloc(). An assignment of a pointer to void to another pointer initiates an implicit conversion.

I experienced the same frustration. The exercise that gave me the "ah-ha!" moment I needed was prepending to a linked list via the head instead of the tail: You need to pass the address of `head` into the function so that the new head is re

Additionally, (as you know, but merely pointing out for the curious), `sizeof arr` returns the size of arr in bytes, not the size of a pointer to the first element of arr.

I'd wager a good number of people don't want to use C because many intro tutorials are too pedantic, too clever, and/or too intimidating. C doesn't have to be hard. I agree that the OP should work to retain 100% accuracy in his article, but

From the C standard: > The definition of the subscript operator [] is that E1[E2] is identical to ( ((E1)+(E2))). So array[2] == (array + 2)

> And yeah, autocompletion on your web browser should NEVER turn up a porn site... Was visiting reddit with a friend on his computer. Autocomplete kicked in at "red". Got uncomfortable there for a few seconds.

Luckily I began the transition to Dvorak before I ever heard of Vim. The process definitely would have proved more painful with an additional set of muscle memory to override.

The command line isn't difficult, but sometimes it's difficult to convince someone who has never "needed to use the command line" that they should give it a shot.

Personally, I wouldn't recommend learning Dvorak to anyone employed as a programmer. I would highly recommend it to high school/college students with some free time on their hands. Going from 100WPM qwerty to 30WPM Dvorak while learning was

The value I got from my abstract algebra course is the ability to identify things that are identical, or at least similar. A big part of abstract 1 is just manipulating symbols to appear in a form that's usable with a provided theorem.

The only plugins I use are ctrlp and repmo.vim (lets you repeat j and k movements with ;). Unfortunately, repmo.vim breaks on vim 7.3, and I don't know vimscript.

The "manipulating the filesystem" section was very helpful. Also, huge props for making a text version of the screencast.

The launch for google+ was so upsetting and disappointing. I oh so badly wanted to tell my friends/family to join me on it, but I didn't care enough to make an account separate from my google apps account, which were restricted from google+

You're far exaggerating the scope of my comment, and you somehow boiled it down to a false dichotomy of "Do you want people motivated by points, or people who are experts?" Discussions over the best solutions happen frequently on SO. Poor s

I think your analogy perfectly fits why I like strict moderation in SO. I hate hearing my CS classmates demonstrate their "intelligence" in the form of questions they already know the answer to, and I hate when the class gets sidetracked
