Every now and then I like to read a bit in the CS:APP book (Computer Systems: A Programmer’s Perspective by Bryant and O’Halloran, https://csapp.cs.cmu.edu/) on #systems_programming and it really is a fantastic and very clear book. But since the latest edition is from 2015, I wonder if there are more up to date books nowadays covering a similar range of topics, maybe even based on #Rust rather than #C ?

I’d be very happy about recommendations, feel free to boost. #fediask

Ok people, I want to make a #gui #desktop application. It's a somewhat simple lan messenger app, something like the famous "lan messenger", but updated.
I've never created native gui applications, so I want you to tell me based on your real experience that what tools I should use.

My requirements:
1. It should be cheap to create and maintain (not too much complexity, or time consuming gymnastics and the platform and tools must be stable and not need constant babysitting)
2. It should have acceptable performance
3. It must take small Ram,cpu resources. As far as it's not annoying and hogging resources it will be ok (~300mb of ram is my max acceptable ram usage for this application)

My skills:
1. #JS / #TS
2. #Python
3. #Clojure
4. #C (not too good with it)
5. #Rust

My main issue with C and even more, rust, is the complexity and effort curve that they introduce.
I personally dislike python but if it has good native gui support I will use it.
I have most bias towards Clojure for this. it seems like a middle.

• #Python is written in C
  - #Perl is written in C
  - #Ruby is written in C
  - #PHP is written in C
  - #JavaScript engines started in C, now mostly in C++
  - #Go was first in C, now written in Go itself
  - #C++ compilers are written in C++
  - #Swift is built with C++ and Swift (on LLVM in C++)
  - #C# runs on .NET, built in C++/C#
  - #JVM (HotSpot) is written in C++

  Yet, people still doubt the necessity of learning C!

C'est mauvais, ça, non ?

Continuing on my thoughts about the #C language; It is widely known that the "pragma once" directive is supported by most of the compilers in the industry. Why not standardize it for #c2y ?

"C is a simple language. This is fact I agree with and appreciate. It is the reason for C's endurance. If someone posts a patch or submits a PR to a codebase written in C, it is easier to review than any other mainstream language. There is no spooky at a distance."

#C++23 introduced `std::expected<>` for that reason, but SL doesn't use it yet for anything.

I want to be your next #FediHire ! I've been a programmer since 1985 (as a child), I've been an IT professional since 1995 (pulling wires and swapping cards and configuring MS Windows). I graduated from University of Arkansas Fayetteville with a BS in CS in December of 2003. A full resume is available.

I currently require a 100% remote position. I cannot relocate from Cove, #Arkansas. I would prefer W-2 employment with a base salary of at least 130k USD/yr, plus some sort of retirement offering (401k or similar) and healthcare benefits (HDCP + HSA or similar).

I prefer something where I can be a high-performing individual contributor: reading, writing and improving source text the majority of my day, with some time spent knowledge-sharing with other developers -- learning and teaching. I'd like to work with #Haskell, #Purescript, or #Idris as the primary source language. I've previously delivered value in Haskell, #Javascript, #SQL, #Python, #Scala, #Java, #C, and #C++ among others. I can be productive in almost any language (no PHP, please; I promised myself never again).
