ghrifteron Show HN: Libconcurrent – Coroutines in C

Cool, thanks! I have yet to learn C other than from what I've learned from programming in C++.

I am really interested in learning some C however, especially after this post hit front page a few days ago:

ghrifteron Show HN: Libconcurrent – Coroutines in C

I got a silly question:

Is this statement basically a do while/while(true) infinite loop?

    for (;;) {
         ...
    }

So then when you were installing Visual Studio did you do the "recommended" installation or did you customize?

Even with customization its a bit bloated, but you can totally avoid a SQL Server Express installation.

ghrifteron Antivirus software could make your company more vulnerable

Thanks, as someone who hasn't used a UNIX os since Highschool I am not very familiar with them.

As an aside I am thinking about installing a light UNIX distro on my netbook. Win 7 is so painful with only 1GB of RAM. (I love being poor student).

Now I got some money so I can either buy a new laptop for $350 or attempt to save some money by installing a light UNIX distro. Problem is, I dont want to learn another OS.

ghrifteron Ask HN: Why most of the Microsoft Products are slow?

Microsoft is a giant (so many different countries, languages, regions, command chain, etc) and they are the kings of backwards compatibility - so a lot of shims and other things to make Hotmail work for slow internet, older version of iE (think IE7 or less) and etc.

That's my guess anyways.

Also, maybe Hotmail hits some servers that are not as fast as Google's or Amazon's. So that may be another reason why Hotmail/Office products are "slow".

Just as an FYI looks like something is messed up with your directed quotes with your font like so:

>> the fact that hidden extensions are still the default on Windows OS is absurd

Is this the case for Apple's OS well (Yosemite or whatever its called nowadays)?

ghrifteron iOS 9.3 Preview

The Notes update looks great! I use Notes for shopping lists and also to store passwords/personal info - so the TouchID security feature is nice.

Another native iOS app I use a lot is Reminders - great for appointments and todo reminders (like calling someone back). It would be great to see if that got a bit of an upgrade.

ghrifteron What are your problems or need in your life

This describes me. I get mundane work that is way below my level, and the few times I get to actually code or program something it is for a small feature.

Cant wait for a few more months when I get some more financial independence to move somewhere else. I hate the city and state I live in.

So am I overachieving by trying to learn React+Flux and Angular.js + typescript and also trying to learn ASP.NET 5 MVC 6 while working my internship?

Maybe I should just make HTML 5 games instead...

ghrifteron Ask HN: Computer Science Learning Resources

Maybe take a look at a college's Computer Science degree requirements and look into topics that interest you:

Wikipedia is pretty decent in most topics.

Also, I've found that GeeksForGeeks is pretty neat too: http://www.geeksforgeeks.org/

ghrifteron My positive experience as a woman in tech

I guess "tone deaf" is when someone doesn't understand what your tone of voice is and what that tone implies. Like if you say something sarcastic, your voice tone and body language conveys it.

ghrifteron Show HN: FuckFuckAdblock

Web _advertisement_ developers did.

Also, to get money back for hosting content, ads was pretty much the only way, as a lot of people rather not pay a sub fee.

Patreon or similar options are the best I think.

Thanks. I should have put in OP that some of these method bodies are dozens of lines (sometimes approaching 100+).

Some of these variables are used quite often.
