Is it possible to use the Intel C/C++ compiler on Linux to create object files to be linked on Windows? From the Intel forums the answer appears to be "no": software.intel.com/en-us/forums/topic/282588 |

How should I behave as a developer in a project that's headed for failure? Voted for reopen (despite the close vote) after @LouisRhys remarks. |

How should I behave as a developer in a project that's headed for failure? @LouisRhys Point taken. But anyway, how's different from a group of people inheriting any other messy project with a tight deadline in any other discipline (like manufacturing, or hardware), and so on. Anyway, I hope a moderator or someone else can clarify the issue. |

How should I behave as a developer in a project that's headed for failure? Because career advice is off topic here. A question should relate to all (or a significant group of) software developers, instead of relating to a specific person in a specific situation. |

How should I behave as a developer in a project that's headed for failure? Put in the extra effort for professionalis, update your resume and say goodbye. (BTW, I'm quite sure this question is offtopic). |

I want to program, my school won't help me Do your school have something like "extra curricular activities"? My group of friends used to run "The Robotics Club": small "robots", mostly controlled by a PC using a parallel port and programmed in local variant of Logo and later using Pascal. It used to make school more entraitaning for all of us. Also, take to your parents and/or school counselour about disliking school: maybe change for other school? You're going to keep studying for a long time and you'll be better off if you like it. Good luck! |

Detecting areas of isotropic vs anisotropic diffusion in a flood-fill (or similar) operation @blz At least for my case, a collision meant the walker stayed in place for that iteration, instead of moving, if I recall correctly. I don't think there's any special optmization but be sure to benchmark your random number generator :-) |

Detecting areas of isotropic vs anisotropic diffusion in a flood-fill (or similar) operation @blz Yes, you got the idea. I remember it being slow as hell for many iterations (about 10^7 back when I did it). I was in college then, so I could just submit a job to a HPC cluster instead of running it on my laptop. If you're in a research setting, you probably have access to a similar resource. I'd send you my paper but it's in Portuguese... |

Detecting areas of isotropic vs anisotropic diffusion in a flood-fill (or similar) operation If you add n "random walkers" to a n random start nodes, make them move to a random neighboor each time step, count how many times each node are 'touched' by a random walker after (many) iterations, you're probably going to have something close to what you want. I did something like that to find tortuosity of a porous media back in college. Google for 'random walker' |

How GUI toolkits are made for c++? If I recall correctly, Qt draws everything using it's own functions and later only uses Windows API to draw the painting buffer on the screen. GTK probably does the same. |

Recommendations for C++ refresh? @Emilio Garavaglia This is a two years old answer. Please, feel free to edit and suggest updates if you feel like it (or add a new answer?). |
