    It will, at some point, hopefully. I mean, my nas can already saturate a 1GbE connection, so technically there's already a usage scenario for 10GbE, just not practical usage in the home.

    Hmmm, looking at the price difference between cat5e and cat6, I'm not sure why I didn't just buy a box of bulk cat6 instead. I swear it was more than just an extra $25 per 1kft. Oh well, going to be fun rerunning this shit when 10GbE becomes necessary. Or maybe the next owner can deal with...

    I tried In-Geom, wasn't getting good results. I really want to kick myself because I was just dicking around and opened a rift and let it sit for a while before entering it. Turns out it was the sub 3 minute rift I need. Dash - punch - SSS, repeat. Out of In-Geom, Flow of Eternity, Lion's...

    Lol, I'm such an idiot. I totally forgot I could just buy another switch instead of running many many more feet of cable. Oh well, it's already done. Though, a switch just for 2-3 devices does seem a bit overkillish. Why cat6 instead of cat5e? By the time 10GbE becomes a standard AND...

    That's what one of the things I love about Python, your containers are basic: dictionary(hash map in other languages, usually) set tuple list No queues, vectors, dequeues, arrays, arraylists, 100 variations of hashes and/or maps, etc. Pick your container and make sure your algorithm...

    Stumbled upon this one in a C link: What a stupid comparison. Is this supposed to teach that an array is just a pointer to a contiguous block of memory? It seems like a really disjointed question. What's the difference between a zebra and the sun?

    So, ran out of ports on my router(2x NAS, 1 computer, 2x Shields, maybe more to come). I assume I need to buy a switch, something like this? 8 Port 10/100/1000 Mbps Desktop Gigabit Ethernet Switch - Monoprice.com Any recommendations besides monoprice that might be in stock in the next month?

    Depends on the state. I worked for a company in Vermont, which required vacation payout, but they were headquartered in North Carolina, which doesn't require vacation payout. So, I told them I'm quitting a week earlier than I had intended and just went on vacation. Seems way too often that...

    You don't have a memory leak. Nowhere in your code do you instantiate anything on the heap. Memory leaks that cause performance issues are not leaks and more like giant gaping holes. And quite shortly after causing performance issues, the program will crash. Unless you're referring to...

    From what I understand about mechanicals, the majority of the sound is generated from improper usage. Bottoming out the keystroke, plastic on plastic violence. Some sound comes from the switch clicking, but you can dampen that by buying browns(I think that's the right color). I've been...

    Look up the curriculum for your degree, which it sounds like you already did. Personally, I wish I had started with Python instead of C, but it's a (somewhat)useless recommendation if none of your courses are going to utilize it.

    Does that exist? I went looking for TVs with those specs too and I couldn't find anything(of quality) for less than $700. BJ's is going to have the Samsung UN55J6300 at $700 for Black Friday.

    If there's anything you learn from this course, always assume the user is an idiot. Users, other programmers, even yourself a few months from now will come back use your software incorrectly. Why did you need C++ to finish this?

    C isn't a great language to teach generic programming concepts. Intro to programming should really start out with Python, Ruby, or something similar. It's too easy to get tripped up on syntax or language-specific quirks in C.

    Storing information seems to be a common assumption when tackling a programming problem. IDK if it's because it makes the program flow easier, but I didn't catch that until Cad pointed it out.

    Arrays are defined at compile time and live in the stack(when in scope), redefining their size at run time IS possible but dangerous and generally not recommended. This is exactly what things like vectors are for. Generally, if you have to use an array for that purpose, you make it as big as...

    Make is frustrating just by itself. Such a horrible language. Oh, maybe check your make file? They are very sensitive to what may look like tabs to you but is actually 4 spaces. IDK, maybe git changed the interpretation of whitespace on your computer?

    git may have altered the environment make is running in, and that may not be the same as your windows environment. I would check where make gets its environment variables and see if there's a way to print them out.
