Visual Studio C++ programmer here. My Visual Studio crashes depends a lot on the last update. Some updates work correctly, another ones have a lot of crashes. Now I have like three…

It jumps from basic graph algorithms to unsupervised machine learning. It's a "let's put shit that sells" book.

I don't see those cheap prices advertised everywhere. I see very high discounts in which the final price ends up being the same price as on Aliexpress.

My upvote for rustdesk. It's a great replacement for AnyDesk.

You have to tell to Netflix what Wi-Fi network are you using (your usual Wi-Fi is assigned by default). If your device doesn't connect to that Wi-Fi network at least once in a mont…

It would be nice to divide the total users by the country population to see the hacker news impact per country.

Fornite for a 6yo kid? Also, my advice is to try to avoid Roblox. They are incredibly aggressive in asking for money (Robux).

The model is simpler, but the render is substantially more complex. You need an high poly model, extract their normal map, convert it to a simpler one and then render the simpler m…

Microsoft killed Visual Basic on purpose. They wanted to force everyone to move to c# because they were afraid of Java and wanted to compete against their market.

I crashed the school server several times with a bomb fork long before I even knew they already existed. It was a very simple script. I stopped doing it because every time the serv…

I always listened that unordered_map is more cache friendlier than map. My intuition tells me unordered_map is better to iterate, and map is better to random access.

Our software is utf8 and we have problems open files with accents characters. We have to convert the path strings before open a file.

Calculate the build time of the same source code on Windows and Mac or Linux and take your own conclusions. The game industry is attached to Windows, not because it's better for pr…

Resume, avoid Windows to compile anything.

I think jupyter notebooks are great to write tutorials. Do you know some ones?

My problem with WSL is the performance. A real Linux is a lot faster, even a Linux in VirtualBox works a lot better. Maybe only happens to me.

I like a lot https://signalsandthreads.com/ . Also, Lex Fridman https://www.youtube.com/c/lexfridman when he interviews people like John Carmack.

Windows has the robocopy command. It is something like rsync, and it's faster than a normal copy. You have to enable multithreading with the /MT:n parameter.
