    Just a nitpick...

    In a loop like that, you'd probably want to use the prefix operator, that way you don't have to create a temporary. Maybe the complier could realize that you don't need the temporary and optimize it out, but there's no maybe if you use the prefix.

    Use C++ like it knows what it's doing instead of fighting the language.

    Use smart reference-counted pointers, const correctness, exception safety guarantees, the STL, and proper object-oriented programming to make it all possible, and it's fairly difficult or next to impossible to run into buffer overflows, double-free errors, memory leaks, and other traditional C errors.

    Try to program in C like a petulant child because your boss is forcing you to use C++, and yeah, everything you said is true.

    I chose the best language to achieve my goal, that being a thorough demonstration that the example given was dumb. I already had the syntax memoried, so it gave me the best result for least effort. The only compromise I made was the amount of typing it took, since I suppose straight C could achieve (almost) the same thing in less characters (but no performance increase!)

    My other goal was to troll dumbasses (you). Thanks to C++, I was able to do two things at once!

    Of course, that depends on the size of char on your arch, not to mention char might be signed or unsigned.

    In your case, I hope you're not using GCC or MSVC, because if you are, char doesn't roll over at 255, it rolls over at 127.

    Not that it changes your example, but still...

  15. Re:Of course not on Our Brains Don't Work Like Computers · · Score: 1

    Um... what's it supposed to do?

    It it supposed to be an infinite loop? If so, then I guess it's broken.

    When i == std::numeric_limits<int>::max(), since std::numeric_limits<int>::is_modulo is true, if you apply the operator i++, i will equal std::numeric_limits<int>::min(), be less than zero, and the the loop exits.

    Since it's predictable and consistent, and you didn't say what it's supposed to do, other than being an extremely inefficent way of setting i to std::numeric_limits<int>::min(), I'm going to have to say that no human can detect the problem either.

    In your face :P

    OK, normally NSFW tags are nice, but:

    • You're in a discussion about breast implants.

    • The document linked is photos1a.html. There might just be picutures there.

    Given these facts, it would be a pretty good bet that you shouldn't click the link if you're at work, but then again I could see how you would think it's the Cliff Notes for the novelized version of Dawson's Creek.

  23. Re:Only going to work if it became standard on Advocating Dvorak · · Score: 3, Interesting

    You just need to stick with it. I made the switch about 2 years ago. It was the most about the most frustrating thing I've ever done. I couldn't type more than 10 wpm for a week, and didn't get above 30 for a month.

    After hitting about 30 wpm my speed picked up very quickly, and I was back to my old speed of ~80 wpm in around 2 weeks.

    Then I sat down at a QWERTY keyboard. I was down to 20 wpm or less! Because I was forced to do it, I switched back and forth every day for months, primarily using Dvorak and very slowly regained my old speed. Now I can switch back and forth between keyborad layouts in an instant... just to test myself to see if I'm exaggerating I've been switching my keyboard layout back and forth while typing this reply. I do have the occasional mistype, especially with vowels and punctuation, but if I slowed down enough to be at 0% errors I'd still be at 60 wpm in QWERTY, and I don't have any problems in Dvorak. After using both layouts for a while it's about as easy as switching languages.

    Sounds like the same problem I was having, although I have the advantage of running my own IMAP server...

    Many IMAP servers, Courier-IMAP for certain, come configured to limit the number of connections from a particular IP to 4. Thunderbird by default caches 5 connections, and doesn't handle it well when it can't. Change Tools -> Account Settings -> ${YOUR_ACCOUNT} -> Server Settings -> Advanced -> Maximum number of server connections to cache. I'd try setting it to 1 just to verify that's the problem, then see how high you can take it if it is.
