As others have said, both are great. Some bits of the first book may be obsoleted by newer language features, but will still give insight into why these features came to be. Also note, in my impression, Effective Modern C++ is pretty hard i

Techiedelight is a cesspool site which tries to send notifications to your browser, disables selection, copy & paste, and even tries to hide the context menu. God I hate these sites. On the other hand, the Competitive Handbook is pretty

I'm not sure it is possible to convince someone who has all the facts and still doesn't give a fuck. Only new facts will do the trick, facts which, even if not adding to the body of knowledge, have a high fuck giving factor. Like,

I personally like the progressive unreadability of downvoted posts, the semantics are perfect. If for some reason I'm curious about what they say (normally triggered by some answer) then I do the mouse select thing to read them. The As

Knowing that WhatsApp produces link preview cards, I frankly don't see anything here that I didn't already expect and assume was happening - these cards come from somewhere that is neither me nor my conversation partner. This can&

Socializing may happen at all levels, for example if the candidate is taken out to lunch. In that context the information may come out. The big problem is that the margin of error for judging an individual case on such factors is enormous.

Such line of questions would pretty much disqualify you in my eyes, regardless if I'm the interviewer or the candidate. Not just because of the improperly personal nature, but also they require a lot of assumptions and random chances i

As you say, the Wingnut demo had nice content, but the whole experience looked unbelievably bad. Like, "original Wii ads with people jumping behind their couches" bad. If they showed it as a tech demo for integrating VFX in real t

Ico, Journey, No Man's Sky, and RiME most recently worked wonderfully for me. Certain "grinding" activities in MMOs like WoW would count too.

It's true that games require player agency and thus by definition are active. However, your characterization of games using terms as "hyper", "acute" and "battle" is rather limited and outdated. Games that

Tell that to Apple. :) At certain level, very good people make a big difference day to day with their leadership, vision, political prowess, technical ability, etc. Losing them DOES damage that no plan B can cover.
