Malcolm's new book

The webpages for my new book are now up and running.

The book, Basic Algorithms, describes many of the fundamental algorithms
used in practical programming, with a bias towards graphics. It includes
mathematical routines from the basics up, including floating point
arithmetic, compression techniques, including the GIF and JPEG file formats,
hashing, red black trees, 3D and 3D graphics, colour spaces, machine
learning with neural networks, hidden Markov models, and fuzzy logic,
clustering, fast memory allocators, and expression parsing.

Yeah, but I've got my own input routines, so I never really cared - which
isn't a comment on you or it.

You do ? Where did you find a portable fully C99 compliant toolset?

As far as C usage is concerned, the standard of the day is C89.

My point exactly.

Newsflash: C89 is still C.

Newsflash: nobody but you seems to be confused about that.

Okay, I'm baffled. You seem to be arguing against yourself now. Did you
do a reality check recently?
Yes. Perhaps if you learned to read, this wouldn't be a problem.

>>The point to note here is that the Standard itself follows the style
being objected to.

Yes, and the standard also includes gets. What's your point?

Lost on you apparently.
Hey, you're the one arguing mindless adherence. Do tell us when you plan
to start relying on gets for input.

Meanwhile, the rest of us - the ones who prefer intelligent adherence -
will happily not use something *despite* the standard including it, if it
is, in our opinion, a bad idea.

Funny thing, I had vague recollections of you being moderately sane. My
bad. In the bin with the other drooling morons.

I have noticed a tendency in your rather poor argument skills to resort
to calling people stupid rather a lot. Why is that? It indicates that
you are either incapable or unwilling to present a coherent argument.

The inability of one's opponent to read and comprehend simple English is
not a reflection of one's own argument skills, except, perhaps, insofar as
one either lacks the ability to, or chooses not to, kowtow to the
opponent's limitations by posting in crayon.

Has anyone typed up an index for the O'Reilly book "C# and VB.NET Conversion?" I'm just learning C#, and often using this little book to see which VB.NET terms translate directly to some term in C#. However, it's a real hassle that the book has no index, just a table of contents. For example, as early as page 8, the book teaches that C#'s "using" statement is the equivalent of VB.NET's "imports" statement. However, that concept...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
