Companies seem to forget (or not put much emphasis on) another aspect of having telecommuters: you don't get tunnel vision due to locality. I've worked for offices around the globe, and one thing that's always struck me about remote vs loc

by BudVVeezer 14y ago
Nope, I mean recruiters contact me about positions but then find out that I cannot relocate and that ends the discussion because the company they are recruiting for disallows telecommuting for one reason or another.

by BudVVeezer 14y ago
I agree entirely -- I've been telecommuting for ten years now, and this is easily the #1 reason the recruitment process fails with me (with small companies as well as large).

A fantastic (if perhaps "too fantastic") example of why it can sometimes be difficult to get a telecommuting position...

I sort of agree... But a contrary view is that the holidays are when most people are on vacation, and hence more likely to read a book and have time to write a review. Assuming they had time to read the book, it's not like the review requi

That makes it "thought provoking" doesn't it? ;-)

Lest I come across as grousing without contributing to the discussion, let's take a peek at the author's main point on hidden costs. Most of the argument revolves around objects. There are two ways you can run into "hidden" surprises with

Awesome! Another " I don't understand writing good code in language X, thus that language has 'hidden' deficiencies." post. You can write non-performant code in any language you'd like, and obscure it in non-trivial ways. That's not the

I found the "places I haven't been" map the most thought-provoking as well as beautiful. What a great concept!

Third-party compilers are already locked out of Win32 development to a large degree thanks to patents on things like SEH (32-bit) and access to the native intrinsics. Why people are up in arms over WinRT is beyond me.

As a cross-platform developer, I would love to see clang and MSVC as compiler options so that I'm able to compare the various outputs when trying to track down undefined/implementation defined behaviors. As it stands though, this is a fanta

My only beef with Crucible is that it doesn't allow me to work in the way I want to work. I want to initiate reviews of another person's code. But with their whole moderator/author/reviewer workflow, I can't. I am the moderator and rev

Foo, bar and baz are to generalized identifiers what i, j and k are to loop counters. They're not ideal, but they get the point across without taking the emphasis away from the underlying constructs. Are foo, bar and baz understandable ter

So by your standards, Microsoft is doing quite well. After all, they do support parts of C99 such as stdint.h.

Since it means not having to support VLAs, yes.

I do compilers, and I'm usually surprised by how many people are around who "know a thing or two", so maybe it's more field-relative?

His point was "opposing the bills today ." We'll have to do the same song and dance again in the very near future because the ignorance behind SOPA/PIPA isn't going away. So yes, we won the battle, but not the war, so to speak.

The outage doesn't reflect poorly on your site IMO, it just demonstrates the quantity of people who appreciate what you're doing. Thank you for looking into making it better though!

I think this is a fantastic service and I applaud them for providing it, but I get an "unexpected error" whenever I try to submit the form.

Except when 0xDEADBEEF happens to be the memory address overlaying the custom hardware registers, and setting it to 0x42 turns the blinky light on. There are some cases where manipulating static memory locations is not only a good thing, b
