• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

    Good Automated Testing Software(Sikuli, AutoHotkey/AutoIt, etc)??

    I think you left out all information that would be helpful in answering your question. Are you unit testing? Are you integration testing? Are you testing user interfaces? Is this for a website? an application? What language is the application written in?

    Hackers Leak 32 Terabytes of Secret Windows 10 Code

    This has to be exaggerated, I don't believe that all of Windows source code is anywhere near 32 TB. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/02/microsoft-hosts-the-windows-source-in-a-monstrous-300gb-git-repository/ This article claims their newer git DBs are 300 GB. That's two...

    VB6 to .NET extremely slow

    Without seeing the code, it is impossible to have any meaningful insight. Suggestions of threading APIs and such are not going to be useful. You can write perfectly good multi-threaded code in standard .NET even without using a lot of fancy .NET features. It is likely a symptom of poorly written...

    Best forum for C++ beginner?

    As long as you search for your problem first and post what you've tried to do, stackoverflow is a great resource. If you post duplicates or "I need code that does ___" questions, they will probably get closed.

    Teen Catches Math Error At Boston Museum

    To clarify.. both were correct depending on your definition of the golden ratio. Short to long side, or long to short side. It's as if you are arguing if the ratio is 2:1 or 1:2. Except that with the golden ratio the reciprocal looks very similar but with different sign making it appear as a...

    Setups/systems for programmers

    Don't cheap out and buy $400 machines, your developers will definitely notice and talk shit about it. 6-8 developers cost quite a bit of money, buying good machines for them is not a lot money and will make your devs happy. Desktop or laptop development depends on the culture of the company. My...

    Nanodegree from Udacity

    Nope, never heard of it. I doubt anyone here has taken courses there. On the other hand, I have heard of MIT before.. and they have free courses: http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/#electrical-engineering-and-computer-science

    good git prompt for OSX?

    Mike, I use a combination of: ohmyzsh! (customized shell prompt, gives git branch, working directory on the right side) scm_breeze (git shortcuts.. 'ga' for git add 'gl' for git log etc.) a better git log (much better looking git log in the shell) in linux at work. I haven't tried it on OS X...

    Learning threading

    Keep it simple, there seems to be a lot of confusion and over complication about threading in this thread. Here's what I might suggest. Come up with an algorithm and implement it using a single thread, such as a divide and conquer algorithm. (merge-sort, matrix multiplication, etc.). Time...

    Learning threading

    Wiseguy, no offense, but your information about locks is completely incorrect. I'm only calling you out on it because I wouldn't want the OP to be confused. Locks or mutexes do not, in any way, turn off multi-threading and force code to run in one thread. In fact, the opposite is usually the...
