Just do everything with integers. RTS games of the 90's did it. They were able to sync 8 PCs across the world to run the same historical simulation (think Age of Kings) by passing nothing more than mouse clicks and keyboard presses ove

Valgrind or -fsanitize=address/undefined usually do the trick. The usual printf is fine otherwise. I read somewhere that a generic PRINT macro is in the works for the next C standard. Might be of use

Just get std::map. You can get std::vector<int> if you do std::map<int, int>

Templated C is totally possible. It’s just a little verbose, but you get used to it. For instance, an alternative to void pointers while maintaining compile time type safety and gaining speed and maintainability looks something like this: g

I voluntarily quit my job once and had the 8 most productive months of my life working on side projects. But, I can see being laid off as doing the opposite. Depression can be a real bitch

CTL just copy pastes a bunch of code via an include for each new type. The following two tidbits are basically the same thing: CTL #define P #define T int #include <vec.h> STL #include <vector> templa

It was a learning experience. And you're right, the real learning experience was to not port the STL

CTL. https://github.com/glouw/ctl It's functionally blackbox compatible with the STL for the major containers. Unless you're writing heap spaced firmware where C++ with an STL isn't available I recommend

I once back ported the core of the C++ STL to C to introduce templated containers to C with some macro magic. I learned in the end that I’m better off using C++

I'd laugh in their face if they ended a little flirtation with a link to their only fans page. I'm waiting on good ol' Musky to spam my waking hours with thought intrusive advertising, not your average bar goer.

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but the benefits of a strong well kept body will improve your quality of life in almost every single way. I'm speaking loosely in terms of mobility, mood, relationships, health,

Like someone else here said, most of my 20's was spent trying to prove myself to the world. I racked up about 6000+ GitHub stars, funded my retirement, and acquired a steady job working on the biggest AAA game. I turn 30 this year, and

Getting buff is a good goal. With work from home, squat-deadlift heavy mornings are viable when you can toss 6 eggs on the pan for lunch. More of HN should lift in my opinion

OoT was the first to master both story telling and third person control. It was a step above SM64 as it made you feel connected with the game's lore and characters.

I met the guy once - solid dude. He was with his family on a ferry ride here in Vancouver. I loved his Strapping Young Lad days. He was off his meds when he wrote Alien. It's an absolute masterpiece.

Certainly - if years of JIRA bug crushing appeals to the onlooker, power to them. I personally find myself either exhausted or bored after 18 months. This is about the time I've learned as much as the job can offer without the need of

Well I mean tech tenure is what, like, 8-20 months anyway? We’re not building bridges; software projects complete quicker on average than your average megastructure. People move on once the project is done

With a bit of trickery CTL works much like the STL, in that containers can be built of containers: #define P #define T int #include <vec.h> #define T vec_int #include <deq.h> A deq_vec_int - analogous t
