Okay. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.
But I suggest you go read some articles, it's not like its just me chiming this idea.

Re: Are Game Developers 15 Years Behind?
Unit testing is for the most part useless. Can't tell you how many times you change a bit of code only to make all your unit testes useless. If changing a tiny bit of your code makes all your tests break, you're doing it wrong. It means you have a huge amount of redundancy in your tests. Why are yo...

Re: C code to strip a file's extension from a filename
stdup is not ISO C and I don't agree with it. All of string.h's functions are designed where they pass a destination pointer. They also require your destination is large enough to store the result. If you want to do what you're doing, it would make more sense to create a new type (FILENAME) as type...

Re: C code to strip a file's extension from a filename
char *stripExt(char* destination, const char *file) { int len = strchr(file,'.') - file; strncpy(destination, file, len); return destination; } (might have errors - didn't test) This is much better way. This function will work with any type of allocated memory, and is much less likely to have memor...

Re: C code to strip a file's extension from a filename
Don't put calloc in functions like that. Have it pass a pointer and store the created string into it. Also, the fastest method would be to just return the length of filename without extension, and then use that instead of returning a new string. You could replace it with null char if you want to. e...

Re: C code to strip the file's extension from the filename
Well just to chime in. you can go all silly and write it in all different ways. something like char *stripExt(const char *file) { int len = strchr(file,'.') - file; char *ret = (char*)calloc(sizeof(char), len+1); memcpy(ret, file, len); return ret; } 1000000 calls takes 88.194000 ms as apposed to lo...

Re: C code to strip the file's extension from the filename
not to steal your thunder, but I realized some optimization could be made, and came up with this: const char* getFileExtension(const char* filename) { const char* tmp=strchr(filename,'.'),*ret = NULL; while(tmp) { ret = tmp; tmp = strchr(tmp+1,'.'); } return ret?ret+1:NULL; } then if you wanted a s...

Re: Virus - please read
I actually fixed this 2 days ago on a clients machine. you need to start the taskmanager as soon as you log in, and kill any weird looking processes. the culprit in my case was something like 80292811211.exe search for that, delete is, look for it in the registry, should be under something like run ...

Re: God's Wife Edited Out Of The Bible?
Im no expert on the matter, but i thought lilith was jewish and mesopotamian mythology. And lets assume that she was Adams first wife, does this give more or less credence to some kind of god? On a side note, if you are interested in this kinda thing in a scientific context, there is a rather intere...

Re: God's Wife Edited Out Of The Bible?
I really dont see how 2000+ year old garbage has anything to do with current events or science/technology, in all honesty, spam bots about golf have more relevant posts.
