As you might have noticed I'm trying to clean up my web site's HTML code. The way I do it is simply more or less redoing to complete site, testing it on a web server I have set up on my local network. I have downloaded, and installed CSE HTML Validator Pro, but I don't get the same results with that as I do with the online validator on...

I was just thinking about this, specifically wondering if there's any features that the C specification currently lacks, and which may be included in some future standardization. Of course, I speak only of features in the spirit of C; something like object-orientation, though a nice feature, does not belong in C. Something like being able...

The_Sage, I see you've gotten yourself a twin asking for program in comp.lang.c++ . http://groups.google.co.uk/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&th=45cd1b289c71c33c&rnum=1 If you the oh so mighty programmer that you pretend to be, why don't you just write some? (And oh, void main is still not allow by the C++ standard.) Seeming as how you...

Question? After this why not 7xh6? Unless I missed something while following along? Double or nothing Bxg7. NOTE: Game Rules for playing on TSDN are located here.

Software Needs Philosophers by Steve Yegge, 2006-04-15. Software needs philosophers. This thought has been nagging at me for a year now, and recently it's been growing like a tumor. One that plenty of folks on the 'net would love to see kill me.

If you had asked me 5 years ago about the future of C++, I would have told you that its future was assured for many years to come. Recently, I have been starting to wonder. I have been teaching C++ at a local polytechnical school here in Vancouver, Canada for approximately 8 years. Six years ago, at the height (or should I say volume?) of...

I'm a newcomer to python: - E01: The Java Failure - May Python Helps? http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/msg/75f0c5c35374f553 - I've download (as suggested) the python 2.4 installer for windows. Now I have problems to compile python extension that some packages

printf("%p\n", (void *)0); /* UB, or not? Please explain your answer. */

I have posted a C# critique at http://www.heron-language.com/c-sharp-critique.html. To summarize I bring up the following issues : - unsafe code - attributes - garbage collection - non-deterministic destructors - Objects can't exist on the stack - Type / Reference Types

I'll kick things off with an easy one.

Hi... I am relativ new to the impressive and powerfull C language, but i thinks it is obsolete... The idea with header/source files where methods can clash into eachother i don't like... Look at C# which is much cleaner with namespaces. Why has C not namespaces and a "area idea" where some methods and

Hi, Consider: ------------ char stringinput ..bla. bla. bla. do {

phpinfo() has a "com_dotnet" section. It's kind of odd. Here it says... COM Support: enabled DCOM Support: disabled .net Support: enabled

Hi We are rewriting the libc for the 64 bit version of lcc-win and we have added a new field in the FILE structure: char *FileName; fopen() will save the file name and an accessor function will return the file name given a FILE *. Questions: What would be the best name for this function?

In a thread about wrapping .Net applications using Thinstall and Xenocode, it was pointed out that there may be better programming languages/IDEs to use for the purpose of creating standalone, single executable apps. My goal is to create desktop applications for use on Windows XP+ OSs that are distributed as single executables that do not...

I understand this code. int a; int b; for (b=0;b<5;b=b+1) int a; This should take every element of the array a and set it to 1,2,3,4,5. Great. Now for the big question. How would you work this?

Comrades, During our current discussion of the fate of functional constructs in python, someone brought up Guido's bull on the matter: http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=98196 He says he's going to dispose of map, filter, reduce and lambda. He's going to give us product, any and all, though, which is nice of him.

Can someone give a detailed rejoinder to this. Would also be nice if someone updates the wiki page so that readers get the other perspective and don't get the wrong impression about C: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_the_C_programming_language Zach

Why is C syntax so uneasy on the eye? In its day, was it _really_ designed by snobby programmers to scare away potential "n00bs"? If so, and after 50+ years of programming research, why are programming languages still being designed with C's syntax? These questions drive me insane. Every waking minute...
