It is more likely to be a tiny fraction of that, stored in a really suboptimal way.

Could you show how it is problematic? And why replacing it with this one is better?

The reason people over 40 aren't employable is not because of any skill, knowledge, or speed deficit, but because they don't put up with BS and abuse anymore.

The simple fact that you think so tells me that you aren't a programmer, and that you should stay far away from interviewing or managing programmers. About the only thing the two situations have in common is that both are based around

>The reason I raised this issue is that solitary confinement in this circumstance, for a kid who clearly has shown some remorse and insight, and is a product of bad circumstances, doesn't seem very advanced. True: it's _barbari

He's saying that in order to judge someone's ability at something, you need to understand that thing yourself. If you require the candidate to write perfect code using nothing but a whiteboard, you need to be able to read that cod

I've been doing C++ full time since 1996, and yet I frequently have intellisense warning me about forgetting something silly - like a missing capture in a lambda, or even forgotten semi-colons. That's because I'm not an f&#x2

A life of creativity, of choice, of mental and physical stimulation, of work that you feel is meaningful instead of simply required.

I can think of several things, but perhaps more important here is that I didn't make the link between a nation being advanced and it locking people up in solitary confinement. Check my original post to see the argument I was making aga

I disagree quite strongly with this. Yes, 40 is a smaller number than 80,000, but those are 40 _people_ whose lives and sanity have been thrown away. Apparently the bar is low enough that this punishment can be applied to at least 40 indivi

In my experience, statements like the one you quoted are generally just made up on the spot, and the author adds phrases like "advanced nation" so he can weasel his way out if someone bothers to do a minimum of research and finds

Oh please. It was the commercial spammers that destroyed email as a useful communication medium. Not sending all sorts of useless notifications is just another defence mechanism against those a*holes. Once in a while I still get an undelive

Despite all the outrage, there is also this: "As far as I know, emails from my business custmers are branded, formatted following best practices, have unsubscribe links and a valid contact footer." In other words, his customers ar

In my case, the proposal is contractually binding, so the contents of the sprints are fixed. Also, the customer won't be available during the period when the work takes place (holidays in Europe, you know), so they wouldn't be abl

Three months ago I found myself writing a proposal for work that would take several times the budget that was available. A manager had an idea: why not do it 'agile'? We would have two-week sprints, and at the end of each sprint a

I've made tens of thousands of razor-sharp photos over the last ten years. Three years ago I visited the world's largest model train track in Hamburg (go see it, it's amazing!) and in one part of the track they have a little

Here's a strong suggestion to anyone thinking "goto -> automatically bad". Before you rag on that lonely goto that is used for clearly structured error reporting in some C-source, go and find some actual source that was wr

This is why you should never expose your database IDs to the customer. They just complain about it, and it invites them wanting to assign meaning and have control over the values.

In practice it's much easier to use assignment or copy construction, thus avoiding the dangerous memcpy. Same goes for those memsets and bzero's beloved of C-programmers: just make the class do it for you; it always works, cannot

Googles' ban on exceptions was a historical decision, based on the compilers available at the time. That they would not go back and revise all of their software is understandble: retrofitting exceptions into existing C++ code is painfu

On the other hand, it seems the move to self-driving electrical vehicles would be welcomed by alternatively-abled people that suffer from visual, motor, or gender-impairment.

So your preferred solution is to restrict the allowed travel radius of people, a bit like with medieval serfs?

Only being able to write about your own profound experiences and realisations if no one else has ever written about them, seems to eliminate a lot of possible articles...
