>> ((strcmp(a, b) == 0) != false) >I have never seen that. And would never advocate for that, why are we doing it that way again? I think a more reasonable example would be (with some reasonably namespaced define, blah blah blah):

Presumably you already have some scaling mechanism for non-native resolution inputs already.

It's probably all about dose. Just takes more for an ADHD individual to be affected the same.

What kind of doses were those? I'm honestly curious what kind of doses are used "recreationally", since I was titrated over months until the APRN and I found a dose that fit and didn't have alarming side effects.

Or maybe you'll finally get around to writing in the first place :)

It's an artifact of implementation. In some zany world, strcmp could return EQUAL_ENUM. What you are ideally expressing is that you want to know that both strings are equal as determined by strcmp, not that the strcmp return value is n

And it does sound like a lot of fun.. I just prefer to be able to augment it with StackOverflow/Google :)

The LED ones are hardly even warm to the touch (there are LEDs embedded in the "filaments").

I lost my cheapo fitbit at the car dealership (it clipped onto the seatbelt of a certain car I test drove), and Fitbit sent it back after it was found.

AmazonBasics products don't do that, why would their generic cereal?

Heh, not trying to knock them unconscious with a blow to the head, but to surprise them (like pinching would).

From what I've read, it can be common practice to punch the drowning person to stun them and stop flailing limbs.

There was another that came to mind that I couldn't find which was a full screen drowning simulator. That was incredibly stressful. Edit: I think this was it (can't verify) : http://sortieenmer.com/?lang=en

Engineer alone is not a protected term in the US. "Professional Engineer" is. As of 2012 you can take the PE Exam for Software Engineering [1]. [1]: http://ncees.org/about-ncees/news/ncees-introduces-pe-e

Depends on how long your day job will accept you getting there in a state of stupor all morning until the caffeine catches up with you.

I think it works for the same reason _A Modern Method for Guitar_ works.. by not using a familiar context (tunes/languages), you have another vantage point to help internalize the lesson.

Funny, this is about the same price DVDs are on Amazon for me. $.01+$3.99 shipping. For something I just want to watch once, I think I'd come out ahead with Steam (not have to find a space for the DVD or ripped copy, etc).

Not especially. Just floating point without fixed size significand and exponent. I do like the idea of having an "exact representation" bit carried along though.. Edit: Link has been changed to a more in depth ACM interview! I sup

> Audible, although I'm unsure about cancellation, only allows setting your account to "suspended" by phone. I've been able to both put my account on hold and cancel several times _online_ in the past 5 years.

I love being able to delete redundant stuff, but I have to admit, there are a few commented out but not deleted lines in my code! //If service reverts to this behavior, this is the spot where $ESOTERIC_CALL should be.

Reminds me of the classic argument against just allowing all drugs in sports. If Drug A gives you 10% better performance for 20% worse health, you probably wouldn't bother using it. But the opposing team has no such inhibitions and are
