Yes. If we want play by play, we can all do `git log`.

Hear, hear! Exactly what I'm looking for. Come to Dallas, baby. Rockwall would be even better (can't come all the way out where I am cuz I live in a dry county!).

I recently interviewed in SF area, and as a result did quite a lot of research on salaries, cost of living, benefits, etc, etc. A typical salary in the Dallas, TX area for a software engineer like you describe is in the $60K ballpark plus b

You're not getting the point. He is asking what will be an efficient way to learn to be productive in C++. If he follows your advice, he may be less bug-prone (doubtful, but maybe) in the beginning, but he also won't be learning C++ . I

Let's be a little consistent here, shall we? static const int kNumNumbers = 10; std::vector<int> numbers(kNumNumbers); for (int i=0; i<kNumNumbers; ++i) numbers[i] = i; // no .push_back necessary // do something

Actually, I disagree quite strongly with this. Start writing applications using STL and boost immediately (or in your case, the STL plus the Symbian APIs). Both libraries have enough quirks that it takes a significant amount of tim

There are plenty of less sexy tech companies that are thriving outside of hubs. This is certainly true: take East Dallas metro, for example. Richardson is the telecom hub, and there's plenty of enterprisey Java crudapp work in th

cool. I like that better. I didn't google before doing mine. Also, there was some reason I didn't want to call 'git branch' twice, although now I can't remember what it was. So it goes with this kind of stuff.

The reason I did it this way was because I had other uses for my rfind() function.

I've been working on an exokernel off and on for a few years now (haven't gotten very far...school and other projects keep interrupting) in C++. Want to get to know your toolchain? Write a kernel in C++.

Uh...I'd wager Sun has more staked on Java than MS does on any of the languages it supports.

I think the natural defense to forced precision calculations is to simply round everything up (never down). If it's $19.35, you round up to $20. In fact, I've even gotten to the place where I really only use the most significant digit, ro

I find the conclusion bizarre... There has always been a class of ruling super-elites. Always has, always will be. Period. The beauty of free-market capitalism (coupled with representative republicanism) is that the class is very fluid an

The question is whether it is more effort for a lazy professor to sue someone or to write tests designed to flunk students who buy those notes. I know which one I would do, and it doesn't involve any lawyers.

At the risk of sounding too critical (which isn't the point), allow me to help you hear yourself: Our strategy is for the hackers to create a demo and backend to achieve my design objectives while I flesh out the rest of the medic

I am open to interpretation. Where I am coming from right now is project completion time, when our tyrannical overlords force us to record utterly meaningless metrics (SLOC) using tools that make it harder, not easier (our line-counter). I

That's really my point though: it's not being über-cautious to default to NSFW, because the point is to not get fired for accidentally clicking on a landmine. If you can't give some sense of confidence that the tool will prevent that scenar

If everyone understood these things and could think clearly about them, CMMI would just be a bad dream, rather than a productivity nightmare.

Eh...you can build something as good and cheaper than this if you carefully monitor Fry's ads.
