CS and Computer Engineering should really be taken together. You should get a basic background in the physics of electricity too.

I agree, but optimizations come mostly from developing better algorithms rather than by optimizing existing ones. You can make every of the 100 iterations of a learning cycle perform 50% faster and still an algorithm that takes only 10 iterations will have you beat.

Knowing CE makes you a better programmer, since you are better able to exploit architecture. Knowing CS makes you a better computer engineer, since you are able to design architecture better suited to the soft's needs.

This makes no sense. Hardware is not designed to meet the needs of software, it is more the other way around, e.g. software is molded to meet constraints imposed by hardware.

>> No.1802740

>>1802712
The sentence itself is problematic. There is no such a thing as miniscule optimization in high-end AI (and some similar fields). Each cycle repeats itself so many times the 'miniscule' difference becomes huge over time. A milisecond can turn into wasted months over lifetime.

Worse, these add up.

Computers are not only on the table top, or for personal use. Computers are in everything, and they are often designed to fit their specific task. Microprocessors are almost never generalists.

You could design a robot with an existing set of hardware that does not entirely fits your needs, but why did you learn CE at all, then? Put your skill to use and make a far better product.

>> No.1802753

>>1802718

That depends wholly on what the hardware and software are doing. If you're building a PC, then it's more common that you see software molding to hardware. If you're building something that is only designed to do one thing, then you can be sure as sunrise that the hardware will be built to enmesh with the software as much as the reverse is true.

That is the most retarded thing to say. C++ has inherited so many problems for keeping it compatible with C.

All the relevant concepts and more are available in modern languages like Java (or C# if you must)

Started programming in Z80 assembler, then 80xxxxx assemblers, C/C++. While nice at the time and somewhat important for learning then people do not have time for it now. Also optimizing mindset for CISC had to be unlearned for RISC and mindset of time where L1&L2 caches were scarce had to be unlearned for new times, when they are plentiful.

There are no problems. It takes 10 years for you to become good anyway so by that time C/C++ will be obsolete.

I'll state some things, that I believe make Java better than C/C++.

* Good development and debugging tools for accelerated learning. Due to its nature Java can offer better tools support.
* Avoided many mistakes of C by eliminating such things as pointer arithmetics, multiple inheritance or poor exception handling and poor support for multithreading.
* Support for redefining and proxying classes at runtime adding possibility to use modern OO concepts, that are impossible in C++
* Automated memory management. You don't need to waste your energy for tedious things, that computer should do automatically. You get your stuff done quicker and avoid hard to find bugs.
* Well designed standard library designed with multithreading in mind.

There are some pitfalls also. Only one I can remember right now (4:30am) is memory issues. When choosing a naive approach you might waste a lot of memory on stuff like tree structures etc... You need to learn how to overcome these.

int fib(int n) { if (n == 0) return 1; if (n == 1) return 1; return fib(n-2) + fib(n-1); }

Now, if you want it so that it will execute efficiently, then we need something slightly more complex.

int fib(int n) { if (n == 0) return 1; if (n == 1) return 1; int a = 1; int b = 1; while (--n) { int c = a + b; a = b; b = c; } return b; }

Give or take an off by one error.

Your JVMs, drivers, operating systems, etc., will still likely be written in C (or C++)

Likely, a decent portion of performance critical code will be written in C and C++.

nope, JVMs will soon be written in Java

Is that how you write your C++ code? if so, ugh. Ofc. you can put everything in one line, what I meant was obviously one statement. See this quicksort algorithm in haskell, for instance
qsort [] = []
qsort (x:xs) = qsort (filter (< x) xs) ++ [x] ++ qsort (filter (>= x) xs)
Two statements, nothing more. Also, it sorts all sorts of objects (that < have a meaning for). C++ doesnt even have higher order functions.

Say what you mean. Sure, you can write code shorter maybe. I don't want to get into a language pissing match, nor will I claim that C++ is necessary as good as or better than Haskell and Lisp.

True. I was replying to an anon who has now deleted his post. He was asking about first programming language to learn. Much of my answer was to the 'first language' part.

I believe that it is much easier to learn programming concepts in Java as there are less ways to do a stupid fuckup, that a beginner might keep looking for several hours. Also some concepts, like Dynamic proxies etc.. are not available for C++.

It is good to learn C++ also, but it comes easier, when you are comfortable with programming in general, i.e off by one error somewhere does not overwrite your random variable in stack and continue, but throws an exception.

functional languages are pain to debug though

>> No.1803243

>>1803218
I mean that high level functional languages have a lot more power than C++/Java. Sure, they might be harder to learn, but when you know them, you can do a lot more with them easier than in C++/Java. Ofcourse, in many cases their power isn't really needed, but I still think people should learn them, it changes the way you think about programming slightly.

No, most code is in C/C++, the performance critical code is in raw assembly.

who cares what language you use. Once you become an expert programmer you can learn (and forget them) easily.

That's patently false. Actually, IIRC, some reliable study showed that, by lines of code, more code has been written for Visual Basic than any other programming language. That was like 5 years ago at least, so I don't know if that's still true.

Most code is not written in assembly. Only very small portions are written in assembly.

that's what I said. performance critical =/= the whole program.
