if you see how its implemented in machine code (on most modern archs) you will see how it is logical. once you see that, you cannot unsee it. people call these things an index, but really it is an offset from the base of the array. not an i

Tried this. is pretty cool but its not really out of your face. in one instance, the AI only added lots of tabs in everything (so frustrating haha). it requires thinking quite carefully about the contex window and whats inside there. like a

and getting yourself elected while being underqualified is intelligent? i think its not. its stupid and damaging behavior based in selfish desires. about as far from intelligent you can get.

current open-source also has all sorts of strings attached depending on the licences -_-. wanna start that debate really?

interesting points, thanks for sharing. have to say i am also worried for these things. I realized, that whenever i pursue a hobby more seriously, i lose the heart in it, the passion, and thus cease to learn and grow. that requires love, to

if the big bang happened i would tend to agree. a little point from which everything expanded (and thus was so dense to contain it all). not a scientist tho. but makes sense to me from this distant perspective

haha every segfault puts me back down into the valley of despair xD. thats totally ok! higher level languages often make it so you can focus on the language mostly. C and assembly, i think, you need a lot of context. what is running the cod

by sim7c00 2y ago
so confused by this one. C is the most free to build systems and abstractions. it doesnt lock you down into any paradigm so you can build your own.... you can abstract away perfectly fine low level details and use your own high level constr

love this sentiment. i tried a lot of languages after C, and am also back to C. it does force me to pencil out all kinds of stuff rather than relying on third party code or compiler error help, but i find that delightful. good upfront codin

i am writing an operating system and want to make a software (batch) renderer inside that to draw things. i am not confident nor currently have the objective to port something like Vulkan and write a device driver. my video card will give m

disclaimer: not a programmer for a living. I asked specifically the AI i interact with not to generate code or give code examples, but to highlight topics i need to better my understanding in to answer my own questions. I think it enhances

maybe to make it more concise binary you can do something like nostdinc nostdlib or freestanding and add own linker file to be more explicit about how binary is build and what to /discard/. also max page size and other linker flag

i dont really see how this is more secure alternative than adding sensitive files and types in gitignore, which you still have to do when using this. can you explain a little? maybe i am missing something here.. shared secrets imho should b

this is really cool thanks! totally i need of a good software renderer!. Not in c++ but this should be portable techniques i guess. my first attempts tryjng t draw 3d stuff to a framebuffer, needless to say, were so slow. didnt think it was

making things obscure and hard to find is indeed a sound choice, as long as its not the single measure taken. i think people tout this sentence because its popular to say it, without thinking further. you dont put an unauthenticated thing i

he's the lord of your time. (do relate. progress on personal projects can be slow due to this kind of stuff sadly!)

by sim7c00 2y ago
not untrue. though many good projects existed because of passion for good engineering. there is much less good open source now. people want money for their time...

going from 1ghz to 5ghz should make single threads go a little faster ? IO might be a bottle neck on spinning rust, but we've come far from those days too..

The system’s been hijacked. The craft of real engineering—building sharp, efficient, elegant systems—is buried under layers of corporate sludge. It’s not about progress anymore; it’s about control. Turning users into cattle, draining every
