Yes. But I'd also recommend getting Stephen Prata's C Primer Plus. It covers C99, and talks about more complicated topics such as multiple pointer indirection and the preprocessor.…

I've noticed that on some monitors antialiasing looks fantastic, while on others not. My sister's laptop has a smaller screen and enabled antialiased fonts, and they really do look…

Those who can't afford a high dpi LCD screen?

Although you could probably use any OOP capable language with GoF, I think the D language fits really nicely for that book. D defines interfaces, abstract classes, subtyping, (clas…

Interesting.. In what way does D seem like a severe step backwards to you? Is that assumption based on the library support or the language itself?

Interesting. I kept seeing some topics opened, closed, only to be reopened again. I thought the admins couldn't make up their minds.

Hmm, I've just tried it. It has potential, but it's very slow and sluggish on my machine (quad).

All of this because people are too lazy to install software? Why not just run compiled binaries in the operating system?

I'm not as worried about the UI as much as I am worried about '404' errors, which are pretty common.

I've only had a few months of experience with Python, but I had no trouble learning C (it only takes a week or two to get used to the syntax). I'm pasting this from my reply in a R…

True. The massive ammount of code examples on the D website is what got me interested in the language in the first place.

Update: Just got the reply, there will be Video. Yay!

I've just sent them an email asking this question. Waiting for the reply..

Although true, many of those authors are too busy with improving/fixing their compilers. E.g. the D language doesn't have a very modern looking website atm., but someone has took t…

No problems here, that is, with D's right-to-left declaration syntax. ;)

Well this certainly sparks my interest. Could I ask for some recommendations for any books and articles on algorithms which take the current computer/memory architecture into accou…

That explains it. Thanks! (and I won't complain anymore :p)

The only thing I don't understand about github is that "hardcore archiving in process..". I mean why do I have to wait a minute before I can start downloading the archive? Isn't it…

Yes, if only such technology existed where you could swap between two bookmarks with a keypress. Or where you could jump to a particular page by just typing in a number.

Have you RTFA? He states: "Fortunately, it seems I was able to acquire access to the VP8 spec, software, and source a good few days before the official release"

Well popularity is not really the reason I'm interested in these languages. The practical guy in me tells me to stick with the languages that I know, and expand my knowledge in tha…

Gah! I wish I could have the mental capacity to learn all of this stuff at once. I'm busy with Python, C, tons of code that I want to explore, plus I'm interested in D (waiting anx…

Hehe, I have a 1984 book about computers, with a ZX Spectrum on the front cover. Got it from my dad. It's not in English, though.

Or get yourself a mouse with extra buttons (I bought a Logitech over 5 years ago), and map those buttons to minimize/restore. Or even better, use a stack that remembers which windo…

At least reddit has /r/coding, unlike yc where all I get to read lately is about fights between Apple and Adobe.
