<div dir="ltr">No, I don't, but two things:<div><br></div><div>1) Are you sure you want to confine yourself to friendly venues? If they're not accepting in general, you still might get some great info from helpful individuals. Around the turn of the millenium I got some great info in comp.lang.c.moderated on usenet, which wasn't always accepting of newbies at the time.</div>
<div><br></div><div>2) Your example wasn't strictly on-topic for a C discussion group. A question about hash table implementations is in the domain of data structures and algorithms. I don't know of a rusty-people accepting data structures forum, either. For data structures, I like books best, but there are also MIT/UCB/Stanford lectures on YouTube that I manage to listen to in the car as podcasts. The lectures remind me, e.g., what a trie is best at or that there's a special data structure for representing disjoint sets. I haven't found a good alternative than maintaining a mental index of data structure choices, so that I know what to review when a problem is begging for a particular data structure.</div>

Does anyone know of a mailing list for C questions/tips that is<br>
accepting of very rusty people? I don't write C enough to know what<br>
benefits and penalties exist for various implementations of concepts<br>
(e.g. hash tables) and sometimes what I find via searching isn't<br>
helpful. I just don't want to spam this group since it's not Linux<br>
specific (though it is code being written on a Linux machine).<br>
<br>
Danke!<br>
