Re: Final Ladle (RIP Tron)
It's great to see this level of activity here. I'd love to play in this Ladle but Arma doesn't work properly for me on my operating system/computer at the moment and probably won't for a while at least it seems. I'll follow what's going on though. @sinewav I don't know if there will be enough for a ...

Re: Linux Gaming Laptop, Recommendations? (2018)
@sinewav What is your budget, roughly? What are the specifications of your current laptop? my apartment/desk is too small for a full tower, so I need a laptop or a microPC. Laptops tend to be a lot more expensive than desktops of the same specifications. I have one laptop and one desktop. Both are a...

Re: C programming language discussion
Good to know that they're still using it in teaching environments. So far, I'm liking it, especially with the tasks they set. I'll probably have it finished by Xmas 2020 hahakyle wrote:I have the book, it was the one used at my college for the C class.

Re: Operating systems and other software discussion
Plan 9 is something I wish I had been there for. Massively distributed computing is a bit of a fascination of mine I believe that, eventually, UNIX will become more like plan 9. Some have already tried to incorporate features (e.g. /proc). Note that plan 9 isn't perfect (IMO especially with regards...

Re: C programming language discussion
What I don't like is that, short of using a documentation method (like doxygen, or the built-in python docs), there isn't a clear way to see what the arguments are to a function without reading the body of the function. The good news for me is that OpenBSD's man pages contain all that sort of stuff...

Re: C programming language discussion
The "+" operator has a well-defined meaning When you start dealing with object types that don't make sense in a mathematical context, then mathematical operations become meaningless. I don't believe that things are that black and white and middle ground cases could cause problems. I suppo...

Re: C programming language discussion
So, in C, when you add your two vectors together, you have to write: addedVectors = AddTwoVectorsTogether(jane, tarzan); In C++, when you add two vectors together, you have to write: addedVectors = jane + tarzan; Ok, so C++ is winning on readability. The C++ code may be shorter but does that mean i...

Re: Operating systems and other software discussion
Meh, you'd still probably beat me delinquent :P Anyway, I thought I'd revive this thread with a discussion about an operating system that is awesome in many ways but I've never actually used. The operating system in question is called "plan 9" and, surprisingly, not many people have heard ...

Re: C programming language discussion
It really is just C with a few extra things that logically follow when you allow a struct to contain function pointers. :) I'm still not convinced that all of the features you mention are necessary. I can see the thinking behind them of course but I'm not convinced they're needed. Years ago, I wrot...

Re: C programming language discussion
I understand and agree with you guys in that C programming is often going to take more time to accomplish tasks that other languages can do quicker. This doesn't bother me too much (yet) but I think I won't try to do anything too large to start with. At the very least learning C will help me to see ...

Re: C programming language discussion
Linus stated that he hates C++ specifically because of its complexity. Also, he doesn't just write kernels, don't forget that he created git. Admittedly git is written in various languages (although no C++) :P the power of C++ over C for rapidly developing software. Personally speaking, I'm not that...

Re: C programming language discussion
I personally wouldn't trust someone who thinks they're not smart enough to understand C++. C++ is the most simplest implementation of object-oriented programming languages. Even PHP is more complex, nowadays, to say nothing of Python. Or Java, for that matter. Not that he's necessarily one of the p...
