    And... no idea why delete [] books doesn't work. Crashes on runtime.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Here is what my output looks like. I submitted last night to the autograder and lost points on a bunch of tests, so I'm assuming memory leaks is the problem. Plus, the output is supposed to be in ID order and I'm not sure why it isn't, lol.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    @Tenks @Noodleface Noodle, you're correct I'm not using the new book... I removed it. I'm still ending up with memory leaks. I can see that it creates its final catalog; my guess is that it isn't deleting the read-in catalogs... Any suggestions? Is it proper to have an empty deconstructor...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Question for those of you familiar with C++... @Noodleface / @Tenks / @Cad My assignment is to mess with the Catalog class and get it to work. I have to use a dynamic array. The program takes two .txt files as input arguments, reads them into two catalogs, then merges the two into one...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    The people who are too bad at games to play ENC properly, regardless of audio trigger or not, would find a way to fuck this up too. EQ is easy, ENC is easy. That being said, there are people who don't suck at games but would find the ENC playstyle crappy. Some people want to bullshit on...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    ENC is overpowered as fuck if you're willing to play it that way. If you can't react quickly to a charm break then you're going to die a lot, but other then that... just like everything in eq... its pretty goddamn easy.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    My experience on Phinigel was that good groups relied heavily on ENC charm; only shit groups really needed a tank... it was more about being a badass puller who can deal with overcrowded zones and keep their group fed with kills. That being said, with the way AC is overpowered on these servers...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    Depends on your group. A perfect group will be relying heavily on ENC charm and people who know how to pull safely and keep up the kill rate will be in high demand. A mediocre group won't have an ENC or the ENC will suck at charm and you'll be pissed off about it.

    TLP Questions & FAQ - Ask away

    Zaide said the same thing about Rangers. I have a buddy who played pretty aggresively on the first TLP and he vehemently denies Ranger DPS and insists they're trash. Has anything changed or did people just not know how to play Rangers? We're both confused, obviously. How are Rangers such...

    Can someone break down the DPS rankings for me? Preferably explain differences between group and raid. Even better, by expansion... Much thanks.

    What class and race are you playing?

    Honestly, I would rather 5 man and wait for a 6th than take a druid. I'd rather have 2x cleric (group stability incase clr1 leaves), 2x enchanter (sweet dps), 2x tank/puller (group stability) than have a druid.

    What -- you don't think ~30% body fat to ~15% body fat in 6 weeks is reasonable? But BRUH, THE CEO HIMSELF OF THIS COOL GYM PERSONALLY TOLD HIM HOW TO DO IT. Ossoi believes the dumbest shit.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    Unless you're planning to go full tryhard on Agnarr launch, you don't really need a character on Phinny to prepare for Agnarr. Like I said, I rolled a character on Phinny years and years out of practice, and found it relatively easy enough to use public channels and google to get answers to my...

    Can you go into a little more detail on this -- what do you mean warp things to you with spells? I've played practically nothing but Enchanter since EQ beta 2 -- but I'm thinking of switching it up a little this time around.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    I started Phinigel like 10 days after release and it was still really fun, had no issues whatsoever finding groups. Only a small fraction of the community is going to blaze through in pre-mades -- Zaide will be killing naggy while most people are wiping at orc 1.

    Weight Loss Thread

    When I first started benching, I hurt myself with shit form at really low weights (3/4 bodyweight). I tried to tough it out (embarrassed that my bench was so low). Mistake. Needed a few months off. Anyway, I highly recommend face pulls and lat raises -- build up that shoulder. Bench press is...

    My wife and I are 32 and 29. We max out our Roth's. We hold 15k in cash for an emergency fund and the rest goes into SWPPX. We don't hold anything other than SWPPX. Does this sound generally right for our age?

    Cutting weight at 20+ percent BF feels different than 15-20, and 10-15 feels even worse. Gotta take it real slow.

    Uber and commercial vehicles

    My instinct on this is that you're unlikely to make a profit via Uber during the nights where you aren't getting much business. You'll make a decent profit via Uber on Friday/Sat night; either bringing the drunk crew out to party or back to home... but that's probably when you're getting more...

    *edit* this has been true for every competitive game I've played... dota/hon/lol/hots/cs... edit2: I've got a bunch of buddies in bronze and silver. 3 trends I notice across the board: their sensitivity is totally fucked up; it's way too high. They tilt. And... they play way too many heroes...

    Question: are you sure they don't do some form of soft reset? I don't understand your argument against having an increased delta every few months. Either you've improved and this quickly gets you higher rank and harder games, or you've diminished and this gets you lower rank and easier...

    Eh -- placements are nothing more than 10 games with a high delta factor and a hidden public rating. I think it's important. For example, I was 61 or 63 in S1 then came back for S4 totally out of practice. Since I had to do placements, I was quickly sorted down, rather than ruin 20+ games at...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    It's missing the next few frames where the woman doesn't respond within a few minutes to the nice guy and he goes on a 12 hour rampage of insults, calling her a whore and a slut and how she'll be so sorry once she gets off the "cock-carousel." It's kinda like gamers being salty when other...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Agreed. Men angry at the man that seduced their wife are using anger to replace more miserable emotions. Edit: if it was a friend of mine, then I'd be angry because he essentially chose an orgasm over a long friendship. If it's some stranger, then what I wrote above applies.

    edit: it's been a while since I leveled in D3, but PoE leveling is more lethal than D3 leveling as I recall. I don't remember having to fux with gear really at all to level in D3. Apples to oranges. Well, at the end of the day, it's about having fun. A vet PoE player isn't going to have to...

    Postpone your judgement until you get a shot to play a fresh league... either the 2.6 coming up early March or, even better, the enormous 3.0 expansion in Summer. The playerbase for PoE is somewhat cyclical -- a fresh league is super fun for at least a few weeks.

    Path of Exile

    A common complaint from new players is that everything feels "clunky." My advise would be don't judge the game at level 1... wait until your character is a bit more developed. Fresh PoE characters genuinely feel like you woke up in rags on a beach, which is what the devs were going for...

    This absolutely meshes with my perceptions of men I knew a decade ago who have stayed single. When we were 18-22, they were dating and experiencing the ups and downs of relationships -- now, they've developed a serious misogynistic attitude and are unlikely to ever date again. The standard...
