General Programming Discussion

I just want to build requests and read the responses, why the hell does everyone suddenly want me to make an account?

New language promises to reduce compilation times by using all threads and gpu cores available on your machine. What's your opinions on it so far?

Most of the stuff went over my head, Why should I care that C is no longer low-level? What exactly is considered close-to-metal in today's time, apart from binary and assembly?

Cyclone was supposed to be a safer dialect of C. Shouldn't it have replaced C by now, while also adding some improvements and reducing the burden of legacy code?

I had this discussion in my workplace and wanted to share and get opinions from the folks here. (I suspect StackOverflow might not appreciate such open ended questions)....

I'm in the course of pursuing a change in my career towards software engineering/architecture. So far I've been brought mostly to C#/.NET and Java, though Java attracts me more, even considering that it might be a "dying" language. Still, Scala and Clojure are there, so I thought that they might give a pump at least to JVMs. In...

I am trying to complete a few web-based projects as well as a developer portfolio. I am also learning C from scratch. I would appreciate it if I had an opportunity to take part in an open-source project that is based on system programming, or something like that.

By project, I am talking about a "virtual" instance. I get to use a computer on their server, but how? Are those virtual machines, or containers?...

Traditionally, algorithms for counting distinct items in a stream of data would store all the items. A new algorithm, called CVM, uses randomization to estimate the number of distinct items with minimal memory usage. The trick is to keep track of items by recording them and then randomly deleting some. The probability of an item...

I fancy learning a new language. I've got experience in Python, PHP, Ruby, Bash and many years ago Java, Haskell and C++. Though I'm absolute dogshit at system languages generally. I GET pointers but I fucking hate having to think about them....

im really tempted to quit my job and make this thing that has no potential for income....

Andrzej Janik has released ZLUDA 3, a new version of his open-source project that enables GPU-based applications designed for NVIDIA GPUs to run on other manufacturers’ hardware. The wrapper technology is designed to enable existing applications to run on new hardware unmodified, without the need for any work on their...

2022 grad, missed the narrow gap for getting a job, and in this recession, it's been really hard to get one. I'm sick of the tutorial hell. It will also be hard to explain this gap for master's degree, and I also don't want to take a loan for master's, so right now, I want to be able to get a job to fill my resume/CV....

Here's the program:...

Sorry if the question is a little vague. Lately, I've been exploring functional languages, and I'm really ill-informed about them....

This is a small program I've come up with, with the intention of finding the root of a perfect square. I wanted some comments on the performance impact, as well as the use of resources....

I've been working on a small project called bdockerimg....
