    Beedrill is actually our only way to detect and defend against the shadow people. If you're not stumbling around in a haze of deliriants then you're not safe.

    So she's some underage slut who's getting e-bullied by molesterchan? I feel like I'm missing context.

    The bigger question is why the hell I can see her eye through her hair, what the fuck is happening here? It's like a poorly drawn anime or some shit

    You uhh, shouldn't really be worried about my opinion, I'm an alcoholic programmer thousands of miles away that happened to put up a website. In the scheme of things what I think counts for pretty much nothing.

    In all honesty I've worried a little bit that hosting the site has enabled you and shamby in destructive behavior at times, rewarding visits to the psych ward or e-stalking with attention. But ehh, it seems like a bit of a stretch, the causes for your problems would exist with or without an outlet and I'm not in the business of protecting the general welfare of every poster. On a purely selfish level you do bring a certain atmosphere to the place I like, a nice fusion of comic, incomprehensible, and teen-angst. The IQ tests are kind of obnoxious though.

    There's kind of a lot involved in parsing uris, stdlib has something for it: https://docs.python.org/2/library/urlparse.html

    I'd suggest using that over regex or ad-hoc parsing

    Arch is a cult, seriously, it's where crunchbang people went after it died. The appeal of arch is the appeal of dark souls, it's punishing and artificially difficult. If you want to do something for a challenge actually using arch for something is a good pick. If you want a sane OS where you don't spend your life futzing with config files and assembling a byzantine array of dependencies to install something everyone else gets by default then look elsewhere

    Originally posted by aldra let's assume the following works to load the command line arguments as strings

    This isn't necessary. Strings are type *char so you can pass `argv[n]` directly. It does work because passing an array ("firstParam" for example) implicitly casts to a pointer of the array's type. Consider this program:

    #include <string.h>

    int stdout = 1;

    void print_a_string(char *s) {
    write(stdout, s, strlen(s));
    write(stdout, "\n", 1);
    }

    int main(int argc, char **argv) {
    char mystr[256];

    if (argc < 2) {
    return 1;
    }

    strncpy(mystr, argv[1], 256);

    print_a_string(mystr);
    print_a_string(argv[1]);
    }


    It passes the type checker will print argv[1] twice.

    Originally posted by HampTheToker I'm not really concerned with peripherals at the moment. I've got a decent monitor, keyboard, and mouse that'll do until I decide to replace them with something better. My focus is strictly on a desktop.

    $750 isn't a hard limit, but I don't want to go much higher than that. I can always upgrade later. Besides, it's for a 7 year-old. I want him to have nice things and all, but I'm not trying to put the kid in front of a supercomputer. As long as it's VR capable and can run most games without a hitch, then I'll be happy.

    So the standard rule of thumb is to go *roughly* a quarter of your budget on the CPU, a quarter on the GPU, and half on the rest of your shit. As you scale up the GPU and CPU budget grow towards like 80% at the high-high end. You want to spend a little bit more on your GPU than CPU if you're building it to play video games. Going with an i5 processor and gtx 1060/1070 would probably be in the price range you're looking for.

    At your price point you're never realistically going to need an i7, and an i3 would occasionally bottleneck, so pick an i5 that makes the price and ratios right. Then get the standard jazz for the rest and whatever's left dump into the best GPU by benchmark you can find. VRAM is slightly more important relative to clock speed/core count today than in days gone by but benchmarks capture this and most other relevant facts.

    Just dump whatever's left on the best graphics

    Second piece of code won't run. "for ... in" iterates over a collection type (list, dictionary, stream, etc) while `i` is an int. You can do `for i in range(5):` but not `for i in 5:`. Both `for index in range(N)` and `for item in collection` are prefered to a while loop if you want to iterate over an item or do something finite N times. This is more convention/readability than anything.

    If you want to do something N times for large values of N the while construct is more space efficient since `range(n)` takes roughly linear space while the index approach takes constant space. There is, however, `xrange()` which returns a generator and requires constant space to operate.
