it either infinitely would recurse when it had two arrays of length 2, or it just doesn't work in some cases when the first list has values that range on both sides of the other

It's time to stop tolerating most dynamic languages. The vast majority of them offer no benefits. Writing wrong code quickly is not a benefit.

Unless a dynamic language is

>simple
>consistent
>powerful

and furthermore more powerful than the most advanced static languages, then there can be NO JUSTIFICATION FOR ITS USE.

This essentially restricts the set of acceptable dynamic languages to the lisps.

Static languages enable much more powerful, concise, verifiable, and maintainable code than most dynamic languages.

IF YOU ARE USING A DYNAMIC LANGUAGE THAT IS NOT A LISP, THEN YOU ARE A POOR PROGRAMMER. IF YOU DEFEND A DYNAMIC LANGUAGE THAT IS NOT A LISP, THEN YOU ARE INTELLECTUALLY WANTING.

Nigger.
The only thing you need to do to learn to program well is to program. That's it. You'll learn 100x faster through experience than you will through reading.

It's better for you to write shitty code and then understand why the things you did were shit and how its all fucked up, and then to refactor and make it better, and keep doing that than it is to read
>"o le blah blah bad :^)"
That shit never works. It tells you it's bad, but not why or how. I read that global variables were bad, but I didn't understand how or why, so I kept using them in a particular program, until it just fucking broke. Then I re-wrote it and it was 10x more readable and better. Learn through experience.

The only comp sci books worth reading are security ones and interview ones.

>>60072398
everybody is always learning, more or less. the "education" part of NEET refers to institutional education

>>60072558
Thanks for the advice. I don't just follow the examples though I take a modular approach to applying what I learn. So I have been taking your advice before you said it but it is still good advice for anyone else who reads your post.

How would I go about dragging a browser tab into a program I've made and having it do something?

cracked open k&r, getting lost pretty quick, 3rd or 4th example when they introduce the for loop

 #include <stdio.h>
 /* print Fahrenheit-Celsius table */
 main()
 {
     int fahr;
     for (fahr = 0; fahr <= 300; fahr = fahr + 20)
         printf("%3d %6.1f\n", fahr, (5.0/9.0)*(fahr-32));
 }

just not getting how this loop is working

they descibe it like

fahr = 0

is initalization (ok so far fahr = 0)

fahr <= 0

test condition -if true go to print

fahr = fahr + 20

stepping it up

but how is it skipping ahead to the print statement, then going back to the step ?

It's basically the same as saying

int fahr = 0;
while (fahr <= 300) {
  printf(......)
  fahr += 20;
}

>>60072646
A few things:

Is the test condition fahr <= 0 or <= 300?

Make fahr += 20 instead of fahr = fahr + 20 (to make it easier to read)

To answer your question, it prints, and then since there's nothing left, it adds 20 to fahr. Then it checks to see if it's under 300, and if so, it prints again. It does this until fahr is over 300.

>>60072737
Yes.

>>60072668
Why is it possible to break math in Java?

>>60071847
I would do it like this.
Compare the 0th index of both arrays to find which to start with, lets say nums1 has the lowest valued term so start with that. Then go through nums1 until you find a term larger than the 0th term in nums2, at which point record the index you got to and go through nums2 etc. until you get to the ( len(nums1) + len(nums2) )/2th term, which is the median of the two arrays.
Remember to get the next term along as well if the combined length of the arrays is even.

>>60072737
If you use a linked list you have to store the address of the first element of the list ( first pointer ) .
If you need to change in that list you need another pointer (two pointers)
If you need to pass your list that you are changing in two pointers and change it in another function you need another pointer(three pointers )
If you need to write a sparse multi-level table

>>60072668

300, mistyped that


so after the conditional it will do whats under, go back and do evrything else after it?

    for ( init_something_1; init_som_2;
            
            test_this == test_that;
            
            after_something_1 = 100; aft_some_2 = 50;)

        print("body of loop");

it will initialize 1 and 2 first, then its done with those?

then it will test the conditional, if true go to body(print in this case)

then it will do the after somethings? will it do them every time, or only if true?

>>60072772
Because you're not breaking math, but the libraries that make ints polymorphic for passing to printf. Also it's possible to break anything with arbitrary access. With the same thing in C, you can overwrite machine code in functions and "break" their math too.

>>60072785

>>60072939
Okay, so OS ports in the sense of windows to linux to mac:
That depends completely on the codebase of the game.
Some programmers already code with multi-platform in mind, choosing portable libraries, containing platform specific code to certain files etc. and others don't.

In case of console ports (console to console or console to pc):
This is much harder since you have different input-devices, (if you use the modern controller features), you have the issue that games for consoles are usually tuned for that specific hardware and graphics options etc. don't exist. Other consoles like nintendo's have significantly less graphics power, so that you have to think about using different rendering routines.

Why wouldn't you want a gun that allows you to accomplish its intended task, and prevents you from causing yourself harm?

>>60072939
To begin with, it's generally more difficult to port between console than between different PC operating systems, because on PCs you're forced to use an abstraction layer for stuff like GPU access, such as DirectX or OpenGL. If you used the latter, that's much less work when porting. Whereas if you write for consoles, those libraries are generally not available, and even if they are you generally don't want to use them since half the purpose of writing for consoles is to wring everything you can out of the hardware. Porting between DirectX/OpenGL/console hardware can be a major task since it can affect every aspect of your game engine. The "big" engines that support several are severely much more complex for it.

On the other hand, once you've done the work of porting between two different platforms, it's usually much easier to add support for another one, since you've already done the work of abstracting the basic shitthat differ between platforms.

>>60073137

>>60073158
you realize how silly that sounds right? Sure anybody would want that but it goes against the very nature of what the gun is. That's why people take classes to learn how to properly handle a gun. It's not the gun's responsibility to make sure you use it right.

>>60073158
>Why wouldn't you want a gun that allows you to accomplish its intended task, and prevents you from causing yourself harm?
There's a reason those don't exist in reality,and it's much the same reason why you don't want it in programming languages. In reality, they end up preventing you from doing things that you want to be able to do, and have good reason to.

What do you mean? It is possible to port things between consoles. It's just a lot of work, just as I described.

It's a good word. The fact you're complaining about words you don't even get to hear reveals your luser status.

There is no reason to ever use Python or Ruby or Go.

>>60072646

A for loop signature isn't a statement.
It doesn't go from `fahr = 0` to `fahr < 300` to `fahr += 20` and then the body runs.

It does the initialization, then the condition, then the body. Once the entire body is ran, the step is then ran. This repeats with the condition, body, and then step till the condition is false.

Reading GOOD code is the most important thing you can possibly do as a software developer. It trains your mind, teaches it what good code looks like. It improves your vocabulary, your ability to construct your own sentences. For every line written, a good writer reads a thousand more due to research, leisure and curiosity.

"You can save a lot of time if you ‘cheat’ and look at proprietary documentation (console SDKs, leaks, etc.) while trying to understand how a console works," Bourdon explained. "This is in general frowned upon in many emulation projects: it puts the whole project at the risk of a lawsuit. It's one of the things where we have no doubts about the legality: it's clearly illegal. With open source projects the development process is usually very open. If I were to take Dolphin as an example, we talk about everything in public, we do code reviews in public, etc. That doesn't guarantee that our contributors don't look at this documentation in secret, but it makes it harder to do so. And we have a clear stance against it: I've personally banned multiple people from interacting with us because they made it clear when talking with us that they based their work on illegally obtained documentation."

This is what makes Cemu controversial, even in the emulation community. We don't know what the source code looks like, or what kind of information the developers have used to reverse-engineer the Wii U. And the developers aren't talking (a Cemu dev declined an interview for this story).

"For a closed source project, the only thing that can be seen from the outside is the end result," Bourdon said. "The process is completely opaque. And this leads to a lot of concern about whether these projects end up taking shortcuts by looking at proprietary documentation. After all, who is going to notice? This puts the project at risk: if they were to get sued, the lack of diligence in the process would almost certainly be found through discovery (which would expose their source code, communication logs, etc.). But also it is bad for the ecosystem because closed source alternatives could end up having an advantage on the open source alternatives. Users tend to not care about long term problems like 'is this emulator going to still work 5 years from now.'"

This post is a non-sequitur.

>>60074420

ok then i'll sell wii u clones from my garage nothing wrong with that

>>60074492
Provided that your Wii U clone is not based off stolen documents from Nintendo and built by your own code, there is nothing wrong with that.

>>60074492
Are you retarded? Nintendo consoles are the most cloned consoles in history. It's fully legal and there's not even a hint of copyright infringement in that practice. As far as the court goes, it's just another console that happens to run the same Wii U games. A competing product.

Sony went after emulator authors like Bleem! in the past, for total bullshit reasons like using screenshots from actual games for comparison advertising. They got literally raped in court. Only reason they "won" is because they got an injunction that stopped the company from selling the software, temporarily stopping them from making money.

Before that, Sega sued other clone manufacturers over their use of the trademarked word "SEGA" in their console's memory. They thought it was some kind of legal weapon against copiers but they too got raped in court. It was ruled that the manufacturers lawfully reverse engineered their product and produced a competing product, and that it was Sega's own retardation that forced them to infringe their trademarks in the course of exercising their own rights.

You have to realize that China's been reverse engineering their shit for so long it's not even funny. Do you even know how Chinese manufacturing works? Americans go to them and literally hand the Chinese factories their original designs, which they mass produce for a good price. However, an extremely important source of profit for these factories is selling their client's products to countries the client don't care about, like South America, Africa and the rest of Asia. Ironically, these markets are willing to pay more money for the products than Americans are, even though they are theoretically poorer.

So copying and emulating products is not even remotely a new thing and is an extremely profitable practice. It's basically Chinese culture. If you ask me, the real retards are the penny-pinching executives who gave the conniving Chinese their own IP on a silver platter.

Also keep in mind that Nintendo doesn't even exist as a company on most countries on the planet. They don't even officially sell consoles much less games on most countries, numerically speaking. You think Nintendo is going to internationally sue some Russian hacker who made some playstation emulators? Russia literally doesn't give a shit. The only reasons to be afraid: (1) you live in the USA, or (2) you live in Japan. Nobody else gives two shits about Nintendo. Especially not China.

>>60074844
>They're actively trying to steal IP from private corp's around the clock
>trying

They're succeeding at it. These factories literally ask their clients to bring a sample of what they want. They just clone it and deliver a 100% identical product. And then they start tinkering with it behind the client's back to save money, introducing imperceptible changes in the product, the quality fading over time until the products they make literally fall apart after some use. They pocket the savings and pass the product risk to their clients and they don't even know about it. They know it's expensive to switch to another factory, so they make the first orders correctly and then start fucking Americans in the ass.

It's 100% legal. It's just that companies have a lot of money and an army of lawyers, and it's easier for them to sue you than it is for you to win against them. The legal expenses involved make it extremely unlikely that any random American emulator developer would challenge them. This bullying tactic has been used by all sorts of companies, from Blizzard against WoW bot operators to patent trolls and scammers against literally anyone. They make it ceasing & desisting or paying some small amount of cash up a financially attractive proposition. The free market at work.

In order countries it's common for people to be able to request state attorneys to represent them for free as in taxes, so it's trivial to challenge these companies. In my own country, EA Games has repeatedly lost many lawsuits customers pursued against them. It just isn't able to use the legal system as a weapon against people.

One of the coolest chapters is about a paper recycling business some enterprising Chinese motherfucker came up with. He was friends with some American trash industry guy and made him send all the paper his way.

He paid some Chinese women peanuts to sort the paper. He told his "friend" he had a few categories based on how good/thick the paper fibers were or something. In reality, there were like 30 categories based on the paper's worth. So in reality, he was making a LOT more money than he was telling his friend, who was losing money. The best paper would come from Wall Street, complete with written contents like private mail from big industry players. This motherfucker would literally stash those, probably hoping someone would be interested in the information. Also, that paper was often brand new and could be recycled multiple times, something he didn't tell his "friend". Guy went every mile to make lots of money behind his "friend"s back and screw him, including trying to bribe the author of the book into silence.

The Chinese are so conniving, they out-jewed a jew in one of the chapters.

my idea to make a hangman game is to make a hashmap with booleans and the characters inclusive whitespace and line breaks and switch the required booleans from false to true 1 by 1.

does that sound good?

import sys

def maxCSS(x):
    maxes = {}
    maxes[0] = x[0], [0]
    maxl = 0
    tmax = x[0]
    for i in range(1, len(x)):
        prevmax, prevlist = maxes[i-1]
        if prevmax + x[i] > x[i]:
            prevlistcpy = list(prevlist)
            prevlistcpy.append(i)
            maxes[i] = (prevmax+x[i]), prevlistcpy 
        else:
            maxes[i] = x[i], [i]
        if maxes[i][0] > tmax:
            tmax = maxes[i][0]
            maxl = i
    list(map(lambda i: sys.stdout.write(str(x[i]) + " "), maxes[maxl][1]))
    print()

maxCSS([5,-6,8,2,-13,0,4,-2, -1,8,-5,6,-2,3])

i did it

>>60075418
That's hardly a step up. Adding that constraint is just a minor inconvenience. As long as you know that the both input arrays do end at some point you haven't really increased how complicated the problem is.
If you allow yourself a full 32bit int of input space you might need some more fancy solutions for practical reasons because storing ~24gb of counters (1 for each array to garauntee no overflow) for each value might be prohibitively expensive.

For instance you might want to have one array subtract and one add to the counters. If they end at 0 they have the same number of appearances (or none at all which is the same thing, can use a flag field to catch that).

But is this a problem worth considering? Would you not rather throw yourself at more real issues than make simple problems hard?
>>60075477
I'd just make an array of bools for each of the letters and special case the access to the whitespace (reconsider having line break in your hangman, please).
It's very easy to index into without an associative array. Just take the ascii character - 65 and you have your index.

The hash table lets you handle more general character sets though.

>>60075546
maximum value contiguous subsequence is what it is

>>60075212
if you can't use a data structure, then you have to go through each value that occurs one by one. O(n^2), with hash table it'd be O(n)

Technically these aren't OOP abstractions at all.

Regardless of their supposed accomplishments (I doubt they are required to write what you claim from what I've seen) the results are bad. That's all I care about. Sure their situation doesn't help much (turnover rates are massive) but I've had the displeasure of working with many pompous Indians who think they're doing good shit throughout the project but they can't even push functioning code half the time. It seems to be code that fits their one initial test case and then they turn it in as complete. Any outside scrutiny would immediately find issues.

“Wait a minute,” Doug said. “It says here 1.99 renminbi.”
“That’s not right. We already confirmed 1.9,” I said.

The factory had quoted 1.9 renminbi per foot, which was roughly 25¢ at the current exchange. When I asked the factory owner what had happened, he scratched his scalp, tilted his head, and suggested it must have been a mistake on my part.

“Ni ting cuo le,” he said. “You heard me wrong. ‘One-point-nine,’ you know, sounds very much like ‘one-point-nine-nine.’”

But we had been quoted on other products to one-tenth of a renminbi, I pointed out.
One renminbi was worth a little more than a dime, and a tenth of a unit was equal to about a penny. Doug said that he also could not see the logic in quoting to the tenth of a penny.

“If they wanted to quote 1.99, why didn’t they just call it ‘two’?”
“I am pretty sure we were quoted one-point-nine.”
“That’s what I have in my notes,” Doug said.

He laughed at the absurdity of the discussion we were having. The difference between 1.9 and 1.99 was almost 5 percent though, and it was a problem. His anticipated gross profit had been closer to 10 percent.
While I worried about Doug, I could not help but be impressed by what this industrialist had done. Nearly half of the expected margin had been wiped out with just a single turn of phrase—you heard me wrong.

“Hey, look at this,” Doug said. He was inspecting the invoice further.
The factory had offered the lengths in meters. “I told them we needed everything in feet.”

Ten-foot lengths that had been ordered were listed as being three meters long.

“We always measure in meters,” said the factory boss.
“But you quoted us in feet.”
“Only because you wanted to be quoted in feet.”
“But the invoice is in meters.”
“Because we must use the metric measurement.”

This also made no sense, and I protested. The factory boss defended himself by saying that 10 feet was just about three meters anyway.

“Chabuduo,” he said. “The lengths are nearly the same.”

I didn’t have to reach for a calculator to know on which side of chabuduo we would end up. The difference between the two measurements would represent another 1.5 percent loss in margin.
When I pointed this out, the factory man tilted his head the other way this time and scratched at his scalp some more.
Doug had been counting on 10 percent and that was a gross figure. We were down to only 3.5 percent profit now and had not yet taken into account inland transportation and other expenses. At the current price, it was unlikely that there would be any profit at all for Doug’s company.

The visit was a complete waste of time, Doug said, once we were in a taxi. My only defense was that I could not have seen any of it coming. We had contacted a number of suppliers. This one had seemed just as good as any other, and the pricing was favorable. My client said it was all right in the end, but I was bothered by the way things had turned out for him.

Cross-cultural negotiations were supposed to be about creating understanding and mutual respect. International trade was tough enough, what with inherent language barriers and great distances between buyers and sellers. I was feeling embarrassed, not so much for myself as much as for the way Doug had been treated. He was new
at the China game and a lot nicer than other importers I had worked with; certainly, I thought, he deserved better than this.

Some described Chinese business style as “soft,” though I never knew what to make of such commentary. Factory owners were aggressive more than anything else, and perhaps even a bit cruel. This one factory owner had encouraged his prospective customer to board a plane in the United States and fly all the way to China. Once
the investment in time and money had been made, the factory took advantage.

On the way to our next stop, Doug said that he would probably end up giving the factory the order anyway. He had an important customer back home that was already counting on the shipment of tubing. Even if he made no money at all on the order, there was some value, he said, in keeping his customer satisfied.

It took several months for Bernie to secure an order with a major retailer. Styles and quantities had to be determined, and labels were often custom made. In some cases, customers wanted formulations adjusted. Decisions were made by committee, and prices were always agreed to in advance of any green light for a production run. Bernie was sure to confirm prices with the factory before confirming his own pricing with his customers, but then right after Johnson Carter received its order from the retailer—often just days before he planned to wire transfer funds to China—the factory would notify Bernie of a slight price increase.

Because large retailers made decisions by committee, it was next to impossible to make any changes once an order had been firmed up. Retailers expected that commitments made would be honored, so Johnson Carter was not likely to go back to the retailer just a week or two after all of the paperwork had been signed and risk upsetting the business relationship.
Of course, Sister denied that she was dealing in tactics; she claimed they had no choice. “Price go up!” she said, sounding urgent. It was one of the few phrases that she took the time to learn how to say in English, and she repeated it often.

Bernie said that he could appreciate the claim about rising prices, but how could the factory give notice of a price increase only after Johnson Carter had confirmed pricing with King Chemical and initiated the order with the retailer?

Increasing prices at the last moment was about moving profit margin from the importer to the manufacturer, and Bernie was not buying Sister’s excuses in part because he had been the victim of eleventh hour attempts rather often. Every time Johnson Carter placed a particularly large order, the factory made the same move. It waited until just after the orders were secured, and only then did it announce the increase.

After a long day of negotiations at King Chemical, Bernie promised that it would be the end of the business relationship. He gave the standard line that Americans give when jerked around. “Don’t they understand if they screw me like this, I’m never coming back?”

Threats were of no use in our case. The factory had managed to increase prices on a number of items on Bernie’s last visit, and he had similarly complained. He had raised his voice then and threatened that he would never return. Not only did he come back, but he brought even more orders with him this time.

What frustrated Bernie was that he had counted on a certain profit margin, but King Chemical had managed to cut right into that expected income. Bernie had done his part by going out and developing business. Having done this, he was now being told that his share would be diminished.

In certain parts of China, there were fishermen who trained birds to catch fish. They tied the necks of the cormorant, a bird which looked a bit like a pelican, with a piece of string so that it could not swallow the fish that it caught from the river. Just as soon as the bird had a fish in its bill, the fisherman yanked it back with a rope attached to its foot.

These fishermen could be seen in action on the Li River near the town of Yangshuo. What struck me most about the thing when I saw it was the bird’s incredible optimism. It didn’t realize that it was a sucker, and no matter how many times it was sent out into the water, this gullible bird had its quarry taken away.

Watching King Chemical’s last-minute pricing tactics, I came to understand: Johnson Carter was the bird; the factory was the fisherman.

Bernie flew around the United States and signed up new clients, customers who would enable him to send millions of dollars worth of business to China. He created a margin for himself, and just as soon as he was about to enjoy the fruits of his labor, the factory came and took them away

YAMEROOOOOOOOO

>>60076056
Sounds like this Bernie should look for who the Chinese factory compete with. Make it clear he has contingency plans but make it vague enough that they can just wonder. Instead of thinking the Chinese is naive enough to just take his word for it that he'd be leaving.

Bernie hasn't had to negotiate with children it seems.

Being able to understand a little bit of computing history maybe? It's not exactly a good language. Think C, but even more limited. Also, it's got a couple of odd quirks, like not actually having types. A "character" is technically four chars stuck together inside of an int, and so yes, you can do this in B:

auto blarg = 'ab';
putchar(blarg);

Oh by the way, it was designed for machines with 36-bit words, not 32-bit. A char (again, no types, so really this is just auto) is technically 9 bits. Obviously, if there were a modern compiler for this language, one would need to adjust this.

>>60076117
>>60076162

On the last day of our meetings with the factory, Bernie said that he was at the end of his rope. He did not want to change suppliers because of the time it would take to get an alternate up to speed. There was another reason that he had not wished to quit the relationship—and it had to do with how King Chemical knew too
much about his business.

The promise of continued orders had kept the factory from engaging in broader, unscrupulous acts. Once the manufacturing relationship ended, who knew how the factory might respond. King Chemical might approach Johnson Carter’s largest customers and try to take them away, or maybe the factory would court some of the importer’s competitors. Johnson Carter was growing fast enough that others would want to know how Bernie had done it.

King Chemical had access to all aspects of the product line. It had the molds for bottles as well as the label designs and the formulations. Since quitting the business would potentially create losses for King Chemical, they would likely be motivated to fill the income gap in some way.

One thing Bernie worried about was that King Chemical would counterfeit his product line. If it did so, Johnson Carter would be in no position to learn about such activities once the relationship was dissolved. Johnson Carter leaving the relationship might change motivations in ways that we didn’t even understand.

Bernie said that he felt that the factory left him with no choice. Quality was a continued question mark, and the pricing games were now too much to bear. We had to find another supplier, he said. A new supplier might be just as bad as the current one, which was another argument against leaving, but at this point it was a chance worth taking.

After our last pricing meeting with the factory, Bernie pulled me aside. He told me that it was time to chase down another opportunity. “Be discreet. Make a few appointments. Show them the catalog.”

>>60076162
The first manufacturer was a surprising disappointment. The factory owner told me that he knew all about Johnson Carter. Just looking at the catalog and seeing the company name, he knew that we were tied with King Chemical. He knew what we manufactured, and he added that he was friends with Sister, as well.

Like many other sectors, the health and beauty care industry was
one that existed in a tight network.

[...]

China’s tight networks were a part of its advantage. They were one of the reasons that manufacturers were able to get things done so quickly. Factories were connected not just to subsupplier networks, but also to other manufacturers. They shared information, contacts, and resources. But these networks were also a threat—to importers. While it remained illegal for companies to collude, it was difficult to monitor such activities from abroad.

Critics of globalization talk about how we have outsourced our values by allowing overseas firms to make products under conditions that Americans would never allow at home. One of the other things that we gave up with global trade would inevitably be the opportunity to prevent marketplace collusion.

Sister found out about my visit almost immediately after the meeting was finished. It actually pleased her to know that I had been to see one of her competitors, and she seemed to enjoy that the news had traveled back to her so quickly and that we were having little luck in finding an alternate supplier.

In pricing negotiations, Bernie had hinted on occasion that he might take his business elsewhere. When he made these veiled threats, Sister was inclined to soften her position in response. Now that Johnson Carter had actually taken action and the plan had backfired, our bluff was called, leaving Sister in an even better negotiating position.

Cocaine is 10 times more addictive and destructive than alcohol. People get addicted to alcohol as a coupling mechanism. No one takes a sip of beer and ends up injecting alcohol into their veins on the streets a year later. Coke has ruined people's life with one taste.

China was exotic, but it was not bizarre. Chinese did not dress in native costumes, they wore no headdresses or long robes, they did not go around in sandals. They did not have the habit of sitting on the floor. Chinese did not bow or require that a visitor make unfamiliar hand gestures, and the people were pleasantly irreligious. Though there were holidays, meetings were not interrupted by frequent prayer times. The Chinese were traditional, but not fanatical. They did not paint their faces or tattoo or pierce their bodies. Such colorful native traditions made for interesting tourism, but people on business were not vacationers.

Some of this cultural flattening was a conscious attempt by the Chinese to appeal more easily to Westerners and appear more up to date. Seeming modern and sophisticated was a source of face, and many Chinese went to great lengths to look comfortable in a rapidly globalizing world. Factory owners dressed like their foreign business partners—slacks, collared shirts, and shoes—and they took English names for themselves.

Despite China’s insistence on having a unique culture that stretched back for millennia, there is no other country in the world whose citizens have given themselves alternate English names in such numbers and with so much enthusiasm. In places like Japan, India, and Mexico, you were forced to learn how to pronounce the real names of the people with whom you were doing business.

??? who the fuck has ever injected cocaine? and who takes it orally for that matter?
alcohol is definitely more addictive than cocaine HCl, probably more addictive than freebase/crack too. in terms of withdrawals, cocaine does very little in comparison and is much easier to kick. people get addicted to any drug as a coping mechanism (why do u think heroin is so high up there?). the only reason people talk about cocaine being so addictive is because it's so common for people to drink alcohol daily that nobody really notices anymore. the only more destructive part of cocaine is the price, which would not be an issue if it were legal.

that's not the consensus scientists seem to have. regardless, alcohol is addictive in the exact same sense heroin is (withdrawals, tolerance, & reinforcement). in fact, alcohol has more severe withdrawals and the regular usage patterns (drinking every weekend, having wine with dinner, etc.) cause you to become addicted more often.

Use libcurl to do the queries to IMDB and get an image; it uses gdkpixbuf and the actual image stuff is done in cubeview.c by the looks of it. Just plug in your curl-downloaded image as if it was a regular file.
Would be cool to port it to programmable pipeline and glfw with stb_image to do image loading; would be blazing fast and no more shitty gdk/gtk deps. Would also get rid of those jaggies since glfw can do multisample buffering out of the box.

And I call it with
