I started writing this as an answer to someone on some discord, but it would not fit the channel topic, but I’d still love to see people’s views on this....
Serious question. I know there are a lot of memes about microservices, both advocating and against it. And jokes from devs who go and turn monoliths into microservices and then back again. For my line of work it isn’t all that relevant, but a discussion I heard today made me wonder....
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...
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)....
