Community Picks·4yHow To Use Multithreading in Node.js
Since JavaScript is single-threaded, it blocks the main thread and no other code executes until the task completes. To understand this, you will create a Node.js program with an infinite loop so that it doesn’t exit when run. Using nano or your preferred text editor, create and open the process.js file: nano process.
Dev Genius·4yThe Programming Language(s) of the Future
C, C++, and Rust are not that easy, they force you to think about object lifetimes, dynamic allocations, etc. But even just in 3 categories, there are lots of differences and blurry decisions. If we consider the ease of use, and power of the implemented structures, the results will get more blurry. Until now, what have we learned? We compared the languages.

Hacker News·4yLies we tell ourselves to keep using Golang
Go is a great way to evaluate technologies, but it's far from enough to fill out the tech battle. By adopting technology that doesn't reflect the true cost of adopting that technology will very rarely reflect the cost of using it. It doesn't matter who points out that "maybe we shouldn't hit ourselves in the head with a rake repeatedly": that's no matter who it comes from.
Hacker News·4yC Isn't A Programming Language Anymore
C isn’t just a programming language, it’s a protocol that every general-purpose programming language needs to speak. C was elevated to a role of prestige and power, its reign so absolute and eternal that it has completely distorted the way we speak to each other. C is the lingua franca of programming. We must all speak C.
MC++ Blog·4yThe Advantages of Patterns
Design patterns are probably the most valuable and impactful abstraction in modern software development. The advantages of patterns can be boiled down to three points: well-defined terminology, improved documentation, and learning from the best. Patterns establish a well- defined terminology.
