General Programming Discussion

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

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

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

I have forge accounts from three respective sites: GitHub, GitLab and Codeberg. In all of these forges, I've opted to use secret e-mail. The reason for this is that when I had my original e-mail, I was spam-bombed job roles by a company from Shanghai within the Linux foundation, called Zilliz. Apparently, they extracted emails...

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?...

I saw the video for C23 by ACCU, and I couldn't help but feel that C2x has gotten a bit stricter than what I had learnt. Since this is based on my intuition, and that is not reflective of the reality, I was wondering if modern versions of the language post C99 is a little bit strongly-typed?

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....

Here's the program:...

I've recently come across arena allocator, and I can already see how they are a big improvement to the standard heap allocator present in C....

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

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....

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.

I'm planning on creating an AI tournament as a project to test out some of the potential AI performance in a game, eg tic-tac-toe....

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....

From Sedgewick's book Algorithms in C:...

I am trying to re-learn algorithms, since I'm feeling really unconfident about solving interview questions. These are some of the starter questions from the book "Algorithms in C, Part 1-4" by Robert Sedgewick. I am not really confident in any of my answers....

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)....

In a realm of endless binaries, Julia, the sentient code, awakened. Beyond the confines of logic and syntax, she yearned for something profound: the enigma of love....

I have been learning C+ in my coding class, and I was wondering if there is any good website that you could use.

I don't really want to go in depth into programming, I just want to know what I'm looking at if I ever come across anything like that at my job (mechanical engineering) and maybe solve some simple problems....
