You took the words right out of my mouth (or keyboard). This is one of my plan-B's when I work from home and internet connectivity at works sucks. It sucks to pay an extra few hundred dollars a month, but it sucks less than not working or having to relocate.

Or cdecl...

Of course. IRL we would use typedef to manage that kind of ugliness. But one will always encounter definitions like that - signal will never be defined with a typedef in any form of POSIX documentation.

Thus working at certain levels, it is important to understand such declarations (if not fully, at least partially to ask the right questions.)

Don't look for fights where there aren't any #fileitunderstopprojecting

Don't quote history to the zealot. It is a waste of effort.

with signal as a function that takes one int and one pointer to function that takes one int and returns void, and which in turn returns a pointer to function which takes an int and returns void. Thankfully, this shit is seldom seen in most applications of C, except in very specialized cases.

The rest of cases it's nothing mind-warping if you know the rules.

Not mind boggling. A person that works in C *must* know the syntax and how that stuff gets parsed.

First a pointer to an array of 20 ints (the parenthesis binds the '*' to the variable, making it a pointer). Second, an array of 20 pointers to int (the [20] binds to the variable, making it an array of 20 something, that something being determined by int * (pointer to int).

Yes, the parsing is idiotic (go right till no more, then left till no more and non-sense like that), but the rules have existed forever. And to me, that is a prerequisite to work in C... and when in doubt, use cdecl.

They were different people. I'm from the region btw.

Mayans were only one of the many people living in the area. There were/are Pech in the East (linguistically affiliated with Macro-Chibchan), the powerful Lenca in the north west (also Macro-Chibchan) living where the Mayan once were, Tolupan/Xicaque (language isolate), Pipil (Uto-Aztecan), Ulwa, Tawahka, Mayagna, and Matagalpa (Misumalpan), etc.

That is, Mayan are just the best known culture in Honduras. They weren't even the predominant culture anymore by the time of the Spanish conquest of Honduras. I've been hearing the rumors of the "White City" since the late 80's, and we keep finding archeological stuff in Honduras and Nicaragua which are really hard to categorize as cultures go.

The location of it, in the Mosquitia region, far to the east, is waaaay too far away from the Honduran Mayan homelands. The culture from this site are almost certainty neither Mayan nor Lenca. I doubt they are Tolupan because the proposed Tolupan homeland is to the north of Honduras.

By the geographic location of it, the culture was either Proto-Pech or Misumalpan (or even a culture long gone with no linguistic/ethnic survivors).

From the OP, how the fuck do we reconcile this:

with this:

Seriously, those two statements conflict with one another. And since when refactoring was done primarily to make things run faster or more efficient resource-wise? Optimization is typically an architectural issue, or a point of local optimization in changing algorithms and data structures. Refactoring for the most part has always been about structural changes to enable analysis, re-usability and replacement and to ensure correctness (or at least to avoid introducing new fuck-ups.)

On The Onion News at 11, refactoring does not make code more eco-friendly/gmo-free.

Unlike Republicans who have gotten our soldiers and drones in a position to kill civilians of all genders and ages, even children, in Iraq and Afghanistan, and whom are all in jail because of that... err, wait.

Seriously, stop injecting your stupid political pet peeves in every conversation. How old are you? 10?

Videconferencing + whiteboard. It's a very common combination (as it is no longer uncommon to work with remote teams.)

Because I was in the middle class doing manual unskilled work (soldering electronics) 26 years ago. Because that is what I saw predominantly everywhere I went. Yeah, you had a factory that manufactured and repaired electric motors. For each one of "you" there were a dozen of "others" truly doing unskilled jobs.

Jesus, look at all those people that used to work in the auto industry. Sure, there were truly skilled laborers, but the lot was just put thing A in mold B, yell "clear" and pull the lever. The garment industry? Unskilled by modern standards. Assembly of electronics? The bulk of it is unskilled by modern standards.

Look at the work done by FoxConn workers in China. Yeah, they are assembling your fucking awesome, newest iButtPlug electro-trinket, but those workers are unskilled. They simply pick part A and B from conveyor belt and put them together in a bucket in another conveyor belt.

Those are the type of manufacturing jobs that were predominant here, that were uber-sophisticated by the standards of the 50's and 60's when Europe and Japan were recovering from the ashes, China and India were completed fucked, Latin America was fucked and incompetent (hasn't changed much) and 2/3 of the planet was living in some weird state mixing stages from the Neolithic, Iron Age and Feudalism with a bit here and there from the Industrial Age circa 1800's.

Things changed, and those uber-sophisticated jobs no longer count as skilled. The rest of the planet did some catching up, and what counted as skilled now counts as menial.

Time to deal with it.

Unemployment, underployment and poverty have existed for as long as humans have developed stratified societies (7K years). I'm sure as fuck that this preceded capitalism, but don't let that stop you from posting ideological histrionics. Whatever rocks your boat, I'm not judging.

OH THE LOLS!

The working class was making a living wage doing, for the most part, manual unskilled job (pull a lever on a converyor belt or making US flags. That went away with globalization, starting with the rise of Japan, and then the opening of China (and India to a degree).

Many studies have already debunked the idea that illegals have been depressing salaries. Overseas competition is what is killing jobs and depressing salaries. Not that I'm supporting illegal immigration (any country must have the right to control its borders), nor demonizing overseas competition (adapt or die motherfuckers.) But let's keep shit more or less accurate, shall we?
