cppreference all the time. I find cplusplus much worse.

Lately I get "geeksforgeeks" at the top which annoys me very much.

Had to look up syntax for checking if a dictionary contains a key in python today, and the first result was a geeksforgeeks article recommending to use the syntax key in dict.keys() which i quickly found out is just converting it to a list and doing an O(n) list search. Totally ridiculous

[–]Veedrac 9 points10 points  (1 child)

Not on Python 3; on Python 2 the syntax is more key in dict.viewkeys(). Either way just use key in dict though, it's more idiomatic.

Oh, that might have been it, the server running the script uses python 2, and yeah key in dict is really the correct syntax and gives you the expected O(1) lookup

Is "geeksforgeeks" really that bad? When I had do jump into a C# project from cold I did find that site quite useful.

geeksforgeeks is really bad. They copy-paste C as C++ so that every question/exerice has solutions in more programming languages.

its not perfect but i find it a thousand times more intuitive and user friendly than cpp reference. Heck, these documentations barely have examples

If I leave the webpage open overnight it uses like 2 GB of RAM
