I believe it depends much more on how the code is written, rather than on C vs C++. Believe me, I am able to write as obfuscated and impossible to maintain code in C as in C++ :) (Hopefully) my code in C++ is easy to maintain because of cle

There is a problem that each and every tool for semantic-aware C/C++ refactoring I have tried does not work 100% of the time (i.e. it sucks more than 0%). This happens particularly because C/C++ have header files that expand to huge source

I have done low-level and mobile programming on very restricted platforms and I cannot see any reason why in the world I would use C instead of C++. Basically there is always an opportunity to use C++ if you can use C. Myths that C++ is slo

By the way, I refactor C with regexps and text utils. In UNIX a pretty complicated refactoring can be done with a shell oneliner. This method actually rules. C allows that because it does not have namespaces. C is minimalistic so that it al

I know what's wrong with high FPS: with quality being improved, including the time domain, you more clearly see the scene being filmed, but that scene is actors, decorations and computer graphics, as in your video game, but higher quality,

OK, but what kind of experience does Tao (I was actually well aware of who he was) have with programming and type theory in particular? By the way, is not the type theory already a formalism? Cannot we construct formal proofs with it? Is it

The answer there is perfect. Nothing to add.

For me it just screams for the question what if that guy will not keep up or just will go to the bathroom? Power outage on the national scale? Frankly that story just blew my mind, all that seems so ridiculous in its hilarious epicness, but

A 27" touchscreen is not for work, it is for working out! I once bought a notebook with touchscreen, and even have tapped it a few times. In a while I have forgotten it had a touchscreen.

Looking at your responses, I see you are a guy with very straightforward stereotypic thinking, you are aggressive, and your little taunt is also childishly primitive and straightforward. Does it make sense to talk to you at all? So the answ

I am sorry, there was no 'hubris' at all. You obviously misunderstood my comment along with other few not very bright people. Recently I had to conduct a number of job interviews on C/C++, and then I came across this article, and a thought

Ironically, I most likely wouldn't hire Kernighan or Ritchie because of their poor programming style.

Seems to be the perfect font for use without antialiasing. Reminds me of the text mode on the old x86s.

I've tried proportional fonts and gave up as the programming languages tend to emphasize punctuation and put crucial meaning in it, but in proportional fonts the punctuation is a second-class citizen, and this is reasonable for natural lang

Wow, Adobe. An open-sourced font. I cannot believe in such a miracle. I am truly amazed. One of the main proprietary capitalist freak companies decided to go opensource on what? - on fonts - one of the most closed and commercialized areas.

The fact that Samsung copies Apple is as obvious as the fact that the sky is blue. I am not sure whether it is a real problem, because Samsung is not able to even do a clone properly. The problem is that the US patent system is more than ab

If you cannot tell the difference between an iPhone and a Samsung, you should better buy yourself a Huawei.

Not sure what this guy is trying to say, but basically any kind of 'protection' based on connection to a server compromises your privacy. For example, an anti-phishing feature that is turned on by default in most browsers essentially report

I perceive Qt's ownership by Nokia as negative, as Qt in fact is the only crossplatform UI framework for C++ that is up to date with the current industry demands in the field of UI, graphics and animation, and Nokia of course ignored the pl

Wow, that's some really badass text editing skills — with a pedal. I imagine one with a piano keyboard with Vim macros attached to each key. That would be dynamic!

Good luck, Lachy! You're a great guy at your 17, and I'm just an incapable trashbag at my 28 being a skilled experienced software engineer, but haven't done a single startup yet because I cannot figure out how to come up with an idea. You'r

You're already 17 and you haven't done at least 7 figure startup yet? Nowadays most people start their business at the age of about 10 and make 8 figures. You should step up.

It's very remarkable to see how that totally absurd law violating all principles of justice is accepted by governments both in developed countries such as the USA and Germany, and not so developed such as Russia. Does it mean that governmen
