And very different UIs. If by desktop Linux you meant text based programs (no GUIs) than I think, at least technically, it should be possible to use a cross compiler toolchain (based on Clang) fro…

It is no Xamarin here! What they say is that you can use these C++ libraries from Xamarin or directly from Java (with JNI).

Because C++ is faster and can be compiled to machine code and, at least for now, you will need a 3rd party solution like Xamarin in order to compile and run C# on other platforms.

You are confusing Android with desktop Linux, very different beasts. Just try to open/create a graphical window on a typical Linux distro, after that try to create a simple app on Android and you…

You don't need to use an IDE (like Xcode) on OS X in order to compile standard C++, a Makefile will do just fine. They've probably developed the C++ code on Windows with Visual Studio and te…

Eugenics got a bad name because they've tried to play god by sterilizing people http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compulsory_sterilization . There is no cultural meme here.…

Personally I use Sublime with rmate https://github.com/textmate/rmate (works with TextMate and Sublime), but there are alternatives like sftp http://wbond.net/sub…

You can use Sublime to do remote editing if you wish.

Doesn't seem to be available on Amazon, try on abebooks http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?sts=t&tn=Winni... it is a few bucks (book + shipping).…

Note that none of these will actually be removed from any compiler you are likely to use, but their use will be flagged if you ask for standards checking.

Are you going to update the online version once you publish the printed version ?

You can use Sublime to remotely edit files on your Raspberry Pi. Running Sublime directly on the Pi is not supported officially and it will probably be too slow anyway.

"Javascript: The Good Parts" is not a beginner book. For a complete beginner it is overwhelming.

Yes, if you already know JavaScript you can probably peak and chose what is interesting for you from the book. Check the actual book website http://eloquentjavascript.net …

Just curios, did this guy asked for your permission to basically republish your book ?

It is difficult to take seriously an article that starts with The JavaScript Problem is two fold: JavaScript sucks, but we need JavaScript. and ends with Where you want to be on this continuum depe…

You don't need funding to make an open source solution to game development. I think you are confusing open source with free as in beer. A lot of open source projects are funded by companies, be…

Your strategy works only if you have a clean copy of the OS or you buy one (since the thread is about Lenovo I assume you are talking about Windows). Typically, a new PC doesn't come anymore with…

You don't need to install MinGW or MSYS in order to use GCC (I assume you are interested only in C99 here and not in POSIX programming). Here is an example of a standalone GCC (contains C, C++ an…

You can use GCC and Clang directly on Windows, both implement 100% C99. Alternatively, Visual Studio 2013 implements most of the C99 standard (not a complete implementation though).

I know that sdtbool actually contains macros for defining true and false, but _Bool is a new type in C99 ... But it is in the standard, implemented by all major compilers, so it should be used for the…

C lacks a boolean type This is false, as of C99 we have booleans in C, just include stdbool.h in your code, e.g.: #include <stdbool.h> ... bool test = true; ... …
