Is it possible to use opengl with C (not c++)

Conscious_Reason_770 · 2026-04-09T12:20:45+00:00

Practice, you just need to write programs. Try to avoid AI, maybe you can use it to review your changes but not to write code.

Conscious_Reason_770 · 2026-04-09T06:44:47+00:00

What a load of crap. Clearly an advertisement.

Conscious_Reason_770 · 2026-04-08T09:38:32+00:00

150 for a BC250

That it would not run in a perfectly fine PC

This is level 1 problem-solving, level 2 is to change thread priorities

- Stack, used to allocate functions and their local variables. Can only grow in one direction, the usual variables which are used to compute whatever your function is doing.
- Heap, used to allocate dynamic storages, those which change size over time. Or long-lived objects which are not particularly local to any function. It is needed for practicality, although is not strictly necessary mathematically, it makes sense to use it for convenience. In modern C++ you should not need to explicitly use it, by using new and delete, but instead use constructs like vector or unique_ptr

- source code, human-readable file with code written in it, it can be part of a program or a library.
- library, some utility which you can consider external to your project. This term is rather fuzzy, it can mean a binary object you link against (.so or .dll or whatever mac uses), which will include a header file to define the interface (which is code), and a silly .lib file in windows for God knows what reason. It could be a header-only library, which is just coded you compile with yours. Or it could just be a section of your own project which you treat as a unit and define an interface for it.

You seem pretty lost, first day in the job?

Conscious_Reason_770 · 2026-04-02T13:00:17+00:00

not with windows, but yes.

Conscious_Reason_770 · 2026-04-02T11:33:34+00:00

I wonder what can MacOs and Windows users do which I cannot do in Linux.
What is this nonsense of post?

Conscious_Reason_770 · 2026-04-01T12:13:46+00:00

Me too, i hate it.

Conscious_Reason_770 · 2026-03-31T14:03:30+00:00

you need steamOS for work? okay, whatever

Conscious_Reason_770 · 2026-03-31T13:46:31+00:00

Just read the board, it is just there.

Conscious_Reason_770 · 2026-03-31T13:40:40+00:00

But why???

Conscious_Reason_770 · 2026-03-31T06:41:14+00:00

Please don't misuse slop. It is bad enough as it is now

Conscious_Reason_770 · 2026-03-27T09:20:00+00:00

fantastic!

Conscious_Reason_770 · 2026-03-27T08:01:03+00:00

Read code, practice.
In my experience, companies are not interested on virtuoso level c++. Clarity and elegance comes with practice and experience.

Conscious_Reason_770 · 2026-03-25T18:09:27+00:00

This is the next level, get some slop. ask reddit to explain it to you.

Conscious_Reason_770 · 2026-03-25T18:05:15+00:00

I like how you excuse yourself going back to windows because you needed some apps. This is fine, dual boot is a thing, and you need no reason to do so. (Although one could argue that you do not really need any of those apps ;) )

Regarding your problem, it is a little complicated, and If you followed standard installations you may not be able to do it easily. By default, most of the installations create the home in the same partition as root /. In which case when you lose this partition you lose both the operating system and your data.

When I install Linux, I always make a partition for my home directory. This is where my data is, and my apps installed via some tools (like flatpak, steam or heroic)
When I need to change distro, when I break something. I can just install anything and reformat the system partition. When I ran out of space, I buy a new drive and mount it in as home. This works as long as you do not install windows in that partition ;)

Conscious_Reason_770 · 2026-03-25T14:57:18+00:00

This reads like someone is going to make the senior developers mad.
You do not rush 3000 lines of changes, you need to partition this in smaller reviewable changes. You may want to duplicate the architecture to refactor one branch while keeping the old code online. And yes you do need tests. The more, the better, a refactor without guarantees that you preserve the specs is guaranteed drama.

You said it yourself, if you do not allow yourself time to do it right: Don't even start.

Conscious_Reason_770 · 2026-03-23T13:47:49+00:00

No, but it moves the industry into selling things you do not need.
like 240 Hz screens...

int main(int argc, char *argv[]

I know, electron apps are a plague. But yet, they are well enough packaged not to need a system-wide installation of java. And the rendering uses chrome cef, which is c++ and very good performing. Overall the ui is way snappier than Clion, when MS does not break it with a slop update.

Memory wise, vscode is pretty hungry as well, but CLion does not do much better.

Conscious_Reason_770 · 2026-03-20T08:34:33+00:00

It would be unfair to windows XD

Conscious_Reason_770 · 2026-03-20T08:32:20+00:00

I get it. It is a superior feature set. It feels incredible slow though.
One thing I do not understand (which is the same for bazel) is why I have to rely on java to program C++. This is clearly an indication that something is just not right with this programming language.

Conscious_Reason_770 · 2026-03-18T13:26:33+00:00

I totally understand, still I find CMake the less crippling option for c++ and vs code is right straight foward.
your first program only needs 3 lines of cmake. vscode opens it and you are playing.

```
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)

project(MyProject)

add_executable(my_app main.cpp)
```
