@iam13islucky I have maybe one project that uses Skype right now. And that thread has been inactive for at least a week. Skype had just been open in the background for a while.

What were the nightmares about? Endless loops?

@legionfrontier so that's not a bug then? ... they are intentionally using the Skype clients to create some sort of botnet for their own personal advantage... and the devs don't even care that it can get up to utilizing 18gb of RAM with absolutely no front facing user activity? Am I understanding this correctly?

@legionfrontier ok, forgive me... are you saying that Microsoft is using Skype clients as a botnet to execute their p2p chat, instead of a centralized server?

@legionfrontier are you referring to the kernal_task?

Yeah I wouldn't rule out any conclusions

Omg that probably would have made my day, or week even. I would have been laughing for hours! And then would have used it to simply look back on and laugh when shittier stuff happened later in the week! So great!!

I feel ya bro. I'm way too trusting with my work. And then I try to justify it in my head with "I love to code" and "I'm still furthering my education" : /

@dfox upvoted ; )

@Cyanite lol, like tell them they get more code if they buy in bulk? Or how about for an extra thousand dollars their code will be un-cut?

So flattered you guys love talking about me! I think I definitely got more comments than the original poster ; )

@tracktraps i know my bad, was just trolling, I apologize for my response

@tracktraps is it maybe because you have a tendency to follow the clown into the sewer? :p

OMG! It's funny on sooo many levels!! I wish I could ++ you a thousand times! So glad I'm not crazy! Thank you!

@linuxxx I'm a little confused. What 'code editor' was he using to create simple excel formulas? And why would he even use a code editor or IDE for that... was he trying to catch excel formula syntax errors... was he trying to compile mathematical equations and catch runtime errors before accidentally miss-balancing his fucking check book?!? :p

@Splash actually in your forloop example, with big endian... int i will constantly want to be -1 which is out of range... in which case you will have to change the position of what you set all the indexes to... but with little endian, you simply have to increment size to equal size+1... when performing addition on the number represented by the array... which is a lot simpler in error handling....

lol if that makes any sense sorry... wish there was a whiteboard feature in devrant ; )

@Splash I'm not sure I follow how forloops play a part... but see if you can follow this hand written example...

@SpencerBeige I can't stand swift, takes for ever to compile, there are no lambdas, syntax keeps changing (cost time and money), Apple let it go (open source) and let go of the dev who created it as well, and then tesla also fired that dev in the next few months! :p

@kaguo @Splash I tried to simplify it a bit...

if you have an array of memory addr and the entire array represents a single int (in base 10), then each mem. addr. (or arr index) holds a number in the 1s place, then 10s place, then 100s place, and so on...

Suppose you want to perform addition on the number represented by the entire array...

if you use 'little'... then arr index 0 will always be the 1s place, index 1 will always be 10s, index 2 will always be 100s, and so on...

But if you use 'big' endian, then you will have to shift the int array index to the right every time you need to 'carry' (like if the number gets to be in the thousands or ten-thousands, etc.)

Or in other words, index 0 will not always be the 1s place. Index 0 will change to 10s place, then to 100s, then to 1000s, etc.

So to me, if you are doing low-level computing or bitwise conversions, it makes sense (or makes it easier) to store the number in little endian.

Does that make sense to anyone else?

@SpencerBeige you yourself have yet to respond : /

@RamChandra @Splash and for those hung up on 'endianness'...
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/...#

@slar very elegant response ++ would probably love to code a project with you one day!

- Little endian (seems easier on incremental math w/ arrays)
- Camel case (seems neater)
- New line (c++), same line (java)
- Apple (more efficient environment to code)
- any C++ compatible languages
- JavaScript (since a lot of devs think they should use it for everything! WTF! Go to college!!)
- 34

What about you @SpencerBeige ?

I always favored emacs. But when git forces me to edit something or add and commit on the command line, vi would always pop up... and I'm always like 'FML!'

@nikolatesla exception.println(...)?

I usually take 50% down, 30% after beta release, and 20% after production release... and if they don't pay the last 20%, then no post-release free bug/crash fix time period (usually a month)

How often do you go through bad relationships, coding projects, AND new cars? 😬

@QueenMorgana awesome! Much appreciated! Please feel free to hit me up to chat more: info@copark.la Thanks again!!

@mt3o ha, I definitely was not being sarcastic. Sorry it sounded like that. I was literally kicking myself just now because I didn't think of that. Ha I am working right now to even create a simple repo of all my knowledgebase .txt docs (how-to guides etc.) and reference notes that I create and maintain over the years. Just of simple reusable code snippets, protocols, categories, algorithms, defines and data structures and stuff. Thank you! (Sincerely) sorry again didn't mean for it to sound sarcastic : )

@mt3o cv on stackoverflow and github, genius idea thank you. Can't believe I didn't think of that, so simple!
