Strictly speaking, those two aren't equivalent. The C example is using dynamic memory with runtime sizing, while the C++ one is using static sizing (and that array would be allocated on the stack). std::vector p would be the C equivalent. Other than that, I agree with you. Pretty much the only reason to use C these days is if your platform doesn't have a good C++ compiler.

It has FP32, but no FP64. And most of the hardware filters, e.g. for convolutions are FP16 only. And yes, GPUs are faster (I've written code for GPUs and the Myraid2), but the Myraid2 does pretty well from the perspective of processing power to power consumption ratio

Well, the original meta post got heavily down-modded and has since been updated it with:

So it's not been taken off the table, but it probably won't happen anytime soon.

If you clink the link it should take you to an example program with that exact code. You can compile and run it and get the output. ideone is just an online compiler + environment where you can compile and run code in various languages. The URL spelled out is http://ideone.com/klyfLl

I guess seeing is believing. It really does work. To make things easy for you, here it is in action.

True -- lambdas and C++14 syntax also help with that. You can make lambdas that take lambdas as arguments, and that return lambdas. The syntax still sucks though e.g. auto add_f = [](auto a) { return [=](auto b) { return a+b; }; }; add_f (1)(2) --> gives 3

The C++ analogy is using template metaprogramming, because it IS a functional, turing-complete (sub) language, albeit one with horrendous syntax

If someone else sets up a fake account in your name, it still shows up when your name is searched. You can disavow it all you want, but it's still going to put off potential employers. If you have a generic name then it might not matter, but if your name is unique, you will have a much more difficult time.

Not even close. CUDA came out well before OpenCL (CUDA in June 2007, OpenCL 1.0 in August 2009), and has remained ahead features, tools and stability-wise ever since. (yes I have used both). I would really like for AMD + OpenCL to be better than NVIDIA + CUDA, but I've been wishing for that for the last 6 years and it has yet to happen.

I've never used it, but TBB flow graph does have graphical tool as well (https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/flow-graph-designer). Looks like a two-part profiler and designer -- in their words, the design component "provides the ability to visually create Intel TBB flow graph diagrams and then generate C++ stubs as a starting point for further development."

That tensorflow graph tool does looks pretty nice though

Intel TBB's flow graph does a pretty good job of this.

Right, and al-qaeda hasn't done anything over here since 2001. Are they also unimportant?

That is not some CIA trick -- it's decades old and quite well understood. I even learned about it back in at Uni years ago in our intro to computer security class

While I agree with the overall sentiment, in this specific case the hackers look to have grabbed the full source of all the parent companies' websites, and the CEO's emails... which they recently released.
