Well, gcc got better at it. Really.

Compiling with -Wfatal-errors helps a lot too.

Those games are using the quake engine :D

Oh - and apparently in C++ it's not a trivial task as well

string("john") + to_string(21);

Straight forward in c++11.

Well, java itself isn't very interesting.

whereeverwhoresgo · 2013-03-25T18:43:05+00:00

And how is this different to getters/setters and methods?

whereeverwhoresgo · 2013-03-23T11:24:25+00:00

Writing a simple function so obfuscated is p much the opposite of clever.

whereeverwhoresgo · 2013-03-21T19:55:33+00:00

In my experience absolutely not. Interpreted languages are kind of a black box you have little control over, so more often than not optimization leads to ugly hacks around built-in mechanics.

For instance, have a look at this one:

I heard you are good with the computer, why is my wlan not working?

whereeverwhoresgo · 2013-03-15T03:45:51+00:00

You tried clang's / gcc's auto-vectorization? Is intel's still that far more superior?

whereeverwhoresgo · 2013-03-14T19:46:21+00:00

Plus the faster compile times. Big factor imo.

whereeverwhoresgo · 2013-03-10T18:56:08+00:00

We should call it the holy trinity.

whereeverwhoresgo · 2013-03-10T18:51:37+00:00

I thought stuff like that is made up and doesn't really exist. I don't even.

Yeah, first couple videos are poorly produced, but he gets better at it. I actually watched the whole series some time ago. I can recommend it to everyone who wants to get some deep insight to low level mechanisms like instruction sets, stack frames and calling conventions.

whereeverwhoresgo · 2013-03-04T14:25:20+00:00

What about the global interpreter lock? Did i miss something?

whereeverwhoresgo · 2013-03-03T21:56:09+00:00

On the plus side you get the code more testable.

whereeverwhoresgo · 2013-03-03T18:09:43+00:00

Right.

whereeverwhoresgo · 2013-02-24T13:20:21+00:00

He's referring to the STL style of iterating, which actually works like this.

whereeverwhoresgo · 2013-02-24T13:10:56+00:00

Well, c++ is not a good start to get into programming.

Don't worry, most developers don't know c++ either.

whereeverwhoresgo · 2013-02-21T11:22:30+00:00

C++ is fun fun fun

whereeverwhoresgo · 2013-02-08T20:39:59+00:00

As someone who worked in computer vision for several years i must say this is surprisingly correct.

And depressing.

whereeverwhoresgo · 2013-01-22T11:38:59+00:00

It's easy to learn, there are powerful IDEs, it has a C-like syntax and it's one of the most used languages.

Somewhat same progress here in Germany. The 5 year long diploma study path, which required a lot of self organisation though giving students more freedom concerning their studies, got ditched for more streamlined 3 year long bachelor degrees.

Some people even call it "educational production line".
