    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...

    It's my job to find stuff like that, unfortunately. Or, at least, symptoms things like that cause. Honestly, I don't have a problem with code written like that within context. a_skeleton_03 is new to C and learning. If someone shows a willingness to learn from their mistakes, a lot can be...

    Probably not, was just thinking how unforgiving Make can be towards white spaces and tabs.

    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.

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Over a regular pot? Technically none. I like the nonstick nature of the enamel. But compared to a crockpot, mine at least, it has never cooked the vegetables fully. Maybe other models can, but mine just can't put out the temperature needed to soften things like onions, celery, and carrots.

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Enameled dutch ovens are pretty close to non-stick that you can use it that way, except maybe cooking eggs. Caramelizing onions or sauteing a large amount of vegetables. One-pot soup or stew construction works pretty well there too.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    So, I rerolled a monk on seasonal thinking it would be easier(less boring?) than farming ancient pieces on my WD to eak out those last few GR levels. So, instead, I'm now stuck on GR 55(and a slower time) instead of GR 57 and mad at myself for thinking it would be any better. Farming for...

    No, I mean the enameled Lodge pans. I assume opiate82 meant they were contracted out or something. We bought an enameled dutch oven from the Lodge as a replacement for a high-walled teflon pan and it's been great, only slightly less non-stick. But if there's some long term quality issues, I'd...

    Interesting that you mention that. I'm having a TLS issue at work that's only affect windows boxes too. Though, I'm pretty sure I haven't updated the machine my sandbox is running in the last week. Do you have any more information on what the problem is?

    Also, since your input variable are integers and you're using scanf and %d to store them in integers, compare things like getopt and hddopt to 1, not '1'. '1' != 1 or what tenks said.

    An alternative theory is that a lot of these hefty new legendaries, to new and existing builds, are to compensate for the SC Monk and 3 ZDPS meta getting nerfed while not actually feeling like a nerf in terms of progression.

    I cut my teeth on C and C++ too. I started learning Python for my current job and it's been an outstanding revelation. I don't see how you can experience the amount of verbosity and readability that Python offers and not want to take advantage of that.

    Is there a reason not to use Google's various backup features if you have a NAS that can do that same, just not quite as well integrated? Obviously, storage size is a difference, Google Drive has 15GB and my NAS has 3TB, but I haven't come close to using the 15GB unless I greatly widen the...

    I'm in the market for a tv too but I'm more flexible about what I want and what to pay for it. I usually read amazon reviews for this shit, but I wouldn't trust those clowns with a tv purchase, too subjective. Any alternative to wading through the avsforums? I guess cnet is still an option.
