Try MS, that's where the real competition is :-) I've heard horror stories about how someone on the team simply has to get low performance score, and when you get a low score it's basically a signal that you're getti

I've worked in open-space offices most of my career and I hate it a lot. When I'm debugging or writing new code, I need concentration. Open space takes it away. There's too much going on. Someone might be talking to someone

Since when is tree traversal "pure academic"? It's like one of the most mundane things, it's like sorting or hashing, it's something you run into on a regular basis, and the fact that it's wrapped into a librar

Eh, I don't know. Always interviewed with C++ with great results. Probably because I know the language and the standard library well enough to be able to write out the solution without looking into google or a textbook. ALWAYS use the

It's optionally statically typed. You can choose to use types if you want. That alone is a huge improvement.

Reading this reminded me of a post by Yossi Kreinin, the author of the C++ FQA ( http://www.yosefk.com/blog/low-level-is-easy.html ). It's a good read and it will show you the whole thing from a different perspecti

The sad part is that this sort of behavior is exactly the reason that repo exists.

True, but most of these issues can be mitigated by using best practices - use vectors instead of raw arrays, avoid shared ownership (and use shared pointers when you can't), etc. Of course, these don't make the language safe, but

I think he's talking about garbage collection, which is often perceived as slow. But you can certainly have automatic memory management in C++ as well. Stack-allocated objects manage themselves, for dynamically allocated objects one ca

Yeah, out of all these only the "most vexing parse" struck me as somewhat obscure simply because it's so insidious. The rest... not really that obscure. I mean, come on. a[3] equivalent of *(a+3)? That's just pointer ari

So the key takeaway from that, for me, is that this research does NOT prove that we live in a "simulation".

I think beginners should stop following trends and focus on building a solid foundation. I know that can sound ridiculous if you need to get a job, but you'll be doing yourself a favor. I mean, it's ok to learn enough to become a

Difficult to say. Writing in C doesn't magically make code run faster, and it's entirely possible to get abysmal performance compared to a better implementation in a high-level language. That being said, it probably wouldn't

Well I landed my current job after responding to a linkedin request. True, it happened after a long and twisted series of events, but the linkedin message was the catalyst.
