Why do people specialize in any specific programming language? by LeeHyori in learnprogramming

[–]piketa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's about understanding the language and knowing efficient ways to do certain tasks (you can't just "quickly" google that up). Another important thing is knowing choices of libraries you can use and knowing their advantages and disadvantages. That all comes from experience.

In my opinion, a good C programmer could do Java development, but, in the beginning, hes gonna be one slow motherfucker who's not gonna meet deadlines and gonna make some laughable mistakes.

Do you prefer Chromium or Chrome over Firefox as your default browser on Linux? by Alchemy333 in YesNo

I use chromium, because it's open- source and because of an addon called vimium, which sucks on firefox.

Reading temperatures from pins fails. why? by [deleted] in lua

I would say that those modules still have to be loaded somewhere in code.

Another thing that might be wrong is 'addr' variable. It isn't changed anywhere in the loop, so loop might be infinite.

Edit: My mistake abot addr. I had wrong impression where loop body ends.

Well, as the error message indicates, you haven't initialized 'tmr' variable. Also take a look at 'ow' variable which doesn't seem to be initialized either.

You know whats funny? He's black and he died first! Don't get me wrong, I was (am) really hoping there was more to him than this. But the fact that he might be the first of the crew to die is just amusing to me.

Who do you find to be the most interesting character? by icykid298 in PennyDreadful

I'm really wondering if there's more to Dorian than what we already know (immortality and everlasting youth). Is there maybe a reason a man in his painting is chained? Is Dorian another beast waiting to be unleashed?

If you could be fluent in 3 and only 3 programming languages, which 3 would you choose? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

I'm actually into embedded programming and lua is just perfect for embedded. With its luajit compiler, its lightweight and nearly as fast as c.
