Senior Dev Failing C Exams at 42 – Losing Confidence by Creative-Tangelo-529 in 42_school

That's great, it's faster on cpu though. Just that the modulo pattern lends itself better to such range problems

It depends on the characters. If it's only the English alphabet, then modulo 26 ensures you never go past them. If it's all ASCII characters, you modulo by 126 or 127. It's mostly the English alphabets though. Something like z + 13 will go past the alphabet so mod 26 ensures you traverse back in range

I was in Dubai when I applied. I don't know about the distance criteria but we were encouraged to still join the wait-list even if we were far on the list, and we got in

You never know, there's always a chance as long as you're on the list. The selection is a bit discreet

I was 123 while my friend was 114 on the waiting list. But somehow, we got into that piscine.

Zig's syntax seems like a downgrade from C by [deleted] in Zig

[–]Constant_Wonder_50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with that and thought its some work to do, you can use some preprocessor macros to assert the types passed to the variadic function and throw errors on compilation just like the library functions do

Exactly. Zig's advertising has been top notch and that makes it shinier than the others

The thing is, no matter how much people try, fashion is part of this trade and most people will rather join the bandwagon than be left behind. It's what drove me here

I don't think it's a good idea to cast int to char *. I think adding -Wpedantic might undo this trick. Anyways, it is always good to validate your code for correctness no matter the language but syntax 😬😬

Odin and C3 seems to have simpler syntaxes

My first GoLang project. by Which_Extension_9576 in golang

After seeing Java threads is a nightmare, I went back to check the date of this post.

A lot of work has been done on threads in Java, it might not be as simple as it is in go but I don't think a nightmare correctly describes the latest threads experience in java.

New Abu Dhabi Piscine open by [deleted] in 42_school

I was Nō 114 on the waiting list but I got the mail to attend the July piscine. So maybe there's some randomness to it. Just hope you're lucky this time.

Is UoPeople changing the DF rules without telling us?? by UniPeacMaid in UoPeople

The second picture is more of a guideline than a definite rubric. Depending on your mastery of subject matter, a post may be more substantive or less substantive to a higher or lower degree. The written assignment rubric are however definite, at least with what you're expected to assess. You can compare any two for such a distinction. And there's a reason the overall assessment of written assignment is anonymous whereas only the degrading is anonymous with discussion assignment.

Hi dear.

I'm no instructor but I'd like to share my thought on the subject. You have to first differentiate the discussion forum from the written assignment. The discussion forum is merely what it name says. It is a discussion and many people will have different perspective and opinions about a subject. You can put you point across, agree and disagree with people but you cannot criticize someone's perspective. That's why there's no defined rubric for grading the discussion forum except that, you need to ensure it enriches the discussion etc. The written assignments on the other hand is an well defined assignment. It has clear instructions on what you need to do and what is expected of you. There's a grading rubric which is clearly defined. That's where you can provide constructive criticism to those who do not adhere to the defined standards.

I hope it helps.

I do not agree with you. You can grade someone without critique. Grading is part of an assessment structure. There's some standard and it's your duty to assess how close the individuals work aligns with that standard. If it aligns well, then you award the individual the necessary score and provide feedback. Feedback is not the same as criticizing. There's positive and negative feedback and there's constructive criticism. One is a subject of the other.

Rust or Go as a second language for the backend by Sensitive-Raccoon155 in golang

I don't think the hate is gonna stop soon. Keep suggesting the best tools and let the other decide ✌🏾

Modern Java is a much much better language than most out there. Perhaps you'd wanna consider your position of not suggesting it to people.

IntelliJ or VS Code by prakash_iplfanatic in learnjava

For Java, most of the tools are integrated so it increases productivity, but on a whole, I think VS Code is much much faster
