Will GC become totally useless when I learn assembly or it's still going to handle some things for me? Well, you can compile inline assembly in C, but I would not recommend you learn that way. It hides a lot of details and may just confuse you more than if you start with Ketman to learn the fundame...

I want to ask something about assembly. How different are x86 and x64 Assembly? Should I bother myself learning x86? I remember two years ago, in a forum one guy said "imo you should learn x86 assembly first, because it can help you with the next step(x64), besides you have to know your roots&...

Recently I've been doing a research on how D and Rust are going to surpass and replace C++, but since I'm not that much into programming, I had to ask people more experienced than me. And from my research I've gathered this : D and Rust are just like C++, just faster and a lot more simple. That see...

Falco would have been around 14-15 at that time.

The thing is, you don't understand... I'm still a beginner in programming overall, let alone in python.. :D I'm not Falco, you know. And that actually kinda frustrates me, I wanna be as smart, I want to have his logic and knowledge.... If I ever program with you, you will probably lose faith in hum...

Yo, Marius. I want to try to get a Discord channel going to replace the dead IRC and shitty Skype interface. I'm a member of some other Discord communities so I'm pretty much always online when I'm home.

Right now I'm learning Python network programming and I'm reading a book "Foundations of Python Network Programming", 2nd edition. I kind of like it. I always thought it would be fun to write some sort of server/client application where a bunch of people write their own client in any lang...

I like it..

P.S. There's a [ youtube ] tag, just put the "NGuAUT3yrcA" bit between the tags and the video will embed.

//Query last log read int rows = ds.Tables["tblLastLogRead"].Rows.Count; if (rows == 0) { return DateTime.Parse("January 1, 1900"); } else if (rows == 1) { return (DateTime)ds.Tables["tblLastLogRead"].Rows[0]["LastReadDate"]; } //Something bad happened return...

Thanks for the responses, you guys are actually answering my questions and even giving me info about other things. Usually, in my country if you ask a question in a forum, everyone calls you an idiot, no matter what question you ask, even when their knowledge is not far away from mine... That' just...

I would stray away from PHP for any new development. It's a severely convoluted programming language, which I would rank among the top 10 worst programming languages of all time. Yes, you can make stuff work with it. Yes, it's extremely popular. However, the documentation is shit, the language contr...

This sounds really interesting, I'll have to check it out!

Lmao, never heard of that. That's a *gaping* security hole. It's so easy to proxy that request to MITM... Hopefully it wasn't used for anything important. Just spent half an hour heavily searching my brain/the internet, here it is . I recommend reading the entire article. When they say "a come...

This reminds me of that software (can't remember which one) that, instead of generating a random number locally, made a http request to some website. And it was worse, because they didn't check for errors, so one day the website went down (or changed the api, or something) and now all clients had t...

Was browsing StackOverflow to see if the CLR has a decent generic sorted list implementation, and got a good chuckle from this heavily downvoted (yet inarguably creative) proposal:

Like I said: I really don't miss VB6.
