You think it's that easy, but, as frequently the case with transformers, I believe there's more here than meets the eye.

There is no dynamic allocation at all, unless you assign the lambda to an std::function, in which case it _may_ require dynamic allocation if the size of the captured variables exceed the internal storage capacity (typically 32 bytes) of st

I'm quite sure my water heater does not store electricity. It stores hot water, and it completely lacks the ability to turn hot water back into electricity. At best I can use electricity at surplus times to heat water more cheaply, but

No, that's not the question at all. You are lumping together all forms of nuclear waste, and applying the long-term storage requirement of the least dangerous waste to the dangerous waste that is only radioactive for a few decades. Pre

My water heater is not a storage device for electricy. It lacks the means to recover energy from it, and I want hot water in the morning, every morning, not at random times during the year when there is a surplus of power. Also, in any cold

The cost consists of a number of factors: materials and labor, design issues, and legal challenges. A global effort to build up proper nuclear infrastructure means the design issues will be far less of an issue: just design one really good

I don't know about writing, but I found the layout of this website easy to read; no need to move my eyes, just scan entire lines as I go. I'm on a 27" screen with the browser maximized, and sites the expand to fill that space

Oh pray tell. What solutions will fix the following two problems: 1. What type of storage is able to provide for, say, Northern Europe, where there may be weeks without wind and months without any significant sunlight? Keep in mind that the

As a potential employee I would never agree to this. If you want me to put in two hours, I do expect to have progressed further into the interview than "you are one of 400 candidates, here's your test!".

Far, far less than normal nuclear reactors. But the real reason I'm replying is to ask why the waste factor is only ever brought up for nuclear, and not for coal (which also emits radiation into the atmosphere), wind (do you know how o

So... you select for people that can get home within two hours and still have enough time left over for the assignment, as well as people that are willing to do the assignment in the parking lot?

How does this work? Who is the other party (someone from the company?) and what do they contribute?

I believe this sentence should not be taken literally as input from that particular construction worker, but rather be understood in the more general sense of input from the public at large, i.e. non-stakeholders.

Agreed. On the plus side, it has Miniatur Wunderland - arguably the best reason to visit Hamburg in the first place...

I believe that at least part of the problem is that buildings aren't built to last, they are built to be torn down in a few decades - so the people building them have no sense of making something lasting, or pride in making something b

If you want a job, about the last thing you are going to want to say is that you were in a hurry (meaning "I didn't care about this job enough to pay proper attention to this"). This is going to be your calling card, so it ha

It was the GPUs that evolved, not the CPUs. The original PS3 design didn't have a dedicated GPU (but, I believe, two Cells instead, one being dedicated to graphics rendering). A GPU was added as it became obvious that this design had a

I completely understand that. I'm not a java programmer; my experience is limited to fixing one tiny bug, in one java program, and I struggled a bit with Eclipse before realising building from the commandline was also possible and

You wrote: "No, they don't. Because they don't even know where to start. They never learned anything outside of the compile button and the project settings. I know because I was in that boat once." The original statement

Do you have any clue how many layers there are below the java/javac layer? What made you decide that that particular layer is where it's at, and that just one layer up everything is bad?

So you are saying they don't know where to start, and as an example of someone not knowing where to start you present... yourself, doing the exact thing you claim they can't do.

How about abstract concepts? If I ask you to imagine something mathematical, like a circle in a square, do you 'see' anything?

Is that an inner voice though? I get the impression that the inner voice described in the article is involuntary, whereas the thing you describe is simply you, thinking conciously. Having read the article I find I have no idea whether I hav

Are you saying everything brought up during a code review is relevant, i.e. that nitpicks just don't exist at all? Because I feel that's a rather extremist point of view. Note that a bug isn't a nitpick. A nitpick would be so

There is an implicit assumption here that developers have a better understanding of these issues than the rest of the people involved. My experience is that many developers are clueless about UX in general. Source: I'm a developer, and

Maybe webdevelopers should stop trying to make everything look different from its defaults. It used to be that you could reliably predict what clicking the mouse in a region of the screen would do. It wasn't progress, when webdeveloper

He isn't saying that 100% of requirements must be understood up front, but that each stated requirement must be 100% understood by the developers. Not really understanding a requirement means you don't understand what the customer
