SPAM random annoying things

Cyclists who undertake just as you are entering a roundabout. I swear some of them are actually trying to kill them selves.

You should be more considerate of the cyclists and abide (by?) their wishes

Getting dolled up for the sausage fest ie company Christmas party... Not looking forward to this one chaps ;(

But..but...sausage?

4th server might be a bit too much

Just started a raid-only char on a Finnish guild so that eats my time a bit. 20 levels in 4 hours, gotta love looms+guild exp as one dungeon nets almost 3 levels.

It's not that much fun Chilly 30 chaps 5 girls... They can get horribly inappropriate in ways which are not remotely funny. One of the ladies takes offence if someone looks at her incorrectly so that will be a nice HR nightmare for me to deal with..... And then when they realise that none of us are interested in their antics they choose an unsuspecting sausage and simulate bumming them (last years HR nightmare). Happy days.

Normally I wouldn't mind as I can run away early... This year it involves a boat journey... Yes yes in December :/

Went on one that was the other way round. Thought it was going to be ace.

Turns out that girls are exactly like the men. Actually, scratch that. I'd say worse than the men tbfh.

I actually agree (Went to a girls boarding school remember). A balance would be good which is why I never understand why partners are not invited

Got our party tomorrow night, 650 going. Gender mix decidedly the other way from Yoni's party.

Retarded exam format. I just had a C exam where i had 70 minutes to write a program that solves a problem that they set. If your program compiled and did the right thing then you get 100% and if it had any warnings/errors/outputted the wrong thing then you get 0% with no grades in between. Mine sort of worked but had a bug so that in 1 case it outputted the wrong thing so I got 0

That's just lazy marking - can't be arsed to look at your actual work.

What was the problem?

Isn't all coding binary?

Spoiler

Seriously though, that is a flat-out retarded marking system

What was the problem?

program had to read in a string and check if it was a palindrome (ignoring punctuation) and then just say whether it is or isnt. It's not that difficult I know, and tbh I should've been able to do it. I only realized the problems with mine towards the end though and then I panicked because I knew I was running out of time and couldn't fix it.

Sounds fun - I haven't done any proper coding for years

Must teach the kids at some point.

Edit - is it worth teaching them assembler or just jump in at something easy like Java?

 

[mooSe_]

Yeah well this course is fun in general but failing an exam sucks ballz. Shouldn't be the end of the world though; it only counts for 10% of 1 module..

If I was introducing kids to programming I would probably start with something simple. I could imagine them easily losing interest if they have to learn loads of logic and syntax before they can make anything that does something fun.

Wounded? That anaesthetist didn't do the job properly then!

 

[Aoami]

c#. Why are you learning C?

 

[mooSe_]

I think the idea was that if we learn C then it will be easier to pick up C++ or C# or whatever later on, but if we learn one of those first it would be difficult to learn to use C afterwards.

 

[Scouse]

Ah. The pity fuck

 

[Chilly]

c#. Why are you learning C?

Because people who learn C# think the solution you posted is in any way optimal. Fuck me that's terrible. You do a per-character copy in reverse and then do a full string compare? Two iterations for something that needs exactly one pass is rubbish old bean.

The best way I can think up requires a byte array (assuming ascii) half as long as the input array and one pass over the input array.

Assembler is a bit OTT, probably. Any language will do, really, as long as the tooling and online resources are good. Python has an excellent web-based interactive tutorial, for example.
