I'm against this. They are trying to impose rules (threading concepts) into the C++ language where it ought not to be. Threads are platform specific (ARM, Intel) albeit with the same idea but underpinnings are…
I second your Superbly put. I cannot upvote this enough too. I've been doing C and C++ for over 17 years from embedded up to CRUD accounting type apps.... Spot on my friend, spot on!
really an optical illusion? I heard two different flows of water splashing in the bucket which I would not expect if it was just an optical trick.
I'd pledge the full $200K if they would take on C++ immediately. I am so sick and tired of IDEs that suck at delivering solid C++ coding environment. The best tool I've found for the job, to date, is Source Insight.
"My theory is that only idiots get caught" No, only idiots do this to begin with.
oh no it's not worth discussing. The discussion is pointless including Yegge's diatribe. Great software is written by great software engineers. (period) end of story. And there is no amount of management that can be…
you don't pick the language. The language picks you!
I also concur with #1's finding (small group in a room shut off from the rest). I once worked with 5 other C++ developers all sitting at a couple fold out tables in a one room office to work on a software that was used…
funnier yet are the over weight people standing on the side watching.
agreed. and if you do any sort of embedded work, you must know C and C++. If history is any predictor of the future, chips will continue to get smaller and the "embedded" development world, I think, will proliforate and…
completely agree with your reason. I'm a long time Slackware user. I discovered Slackware cicra 1995 or so and throught out the years tried different distributions only to go back to Slackware for its simplicity. Many…
150% agree. I have a Pentium III class machine we still use to run our company email. It's been rock solid for so long, there has never been a need to upgrade it. Should the hardware finally fail, we have a few spares…
so a $400 iPhone or even a $200 smart phone is a better option than some of the $25 robot kits you can buy that have much more to learn from? not buying it.
funny is how they bitch about virtualbox and then their own dam site is down at the same time. A bit of the pot calling the kettle black?
seriously, I don't get it. There are tons of off-the-shelf electronic kits that already do this (ARM, PIC, AVAR, etc)... And most of this is just simple logic. Follow a light beam, follow color, bla, bla, bla...…
".NET would be the way to write Windows applications. Win32 would still exist for backwards compatibility, but it would be frozen and left static." OMG, Another non-technical person trying to write about technology…
"they better be damn sure they are getting the right ones." No, see, the problem is you're not in control of FB. They are still a private company and they get to do what ever they want, obviously within the confines of…
"Maybe once out of every thousand flights or something." So what gives you or anyone else the right to play God? Have you missed the point about these scanners being a health concern as much as flying is?
Airforce-1 doesn't have this.
if it's a hearing amplifier, then who is she listening too? I don't see anyone next to her and the guy who is walking in front of her is several paces in front. I would think that if my friend had a hearing issue, that…
and c) the dillusion that there exists lost sales because a torrent of said flick is available now...
I don't get this. HP = hardware and non-DB software. Oracle = database company. How is HP threaten by Oracle again?
