Looks like I have a lot to read up on. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

Thanks for taking the time to address my questions. Memory management hasn't been a major stumbling block in my line of work, but I'll read up and give it a whirl if I have the appropriate project.

I've been working C++ professionally for a couple of years and honestly I'm a huge fan - So I was excited to read about an alternative. After reading your 5 posts, I get the impression that RUST is mostly mildly useful syntactic

I don't think you pay several thousand dollars to stand in a backyard... Though I could be wrong.

I can't be the only one that finds it pathetic that the president needs to prostitute himself in such a way to make a few thousand dollars for a political party. You'd think they have more important things to do - given they'

I wonder what the author thinks of ESOPs and cooperatives.

"IPO/acquisition" that's not the only option. The company could remain privately owned - in which case you want to have below 100 shareholders so that you can remain a C corp

It's amazing how short people's memories are. They behaved in a very scummy way back when that all happened. I was sure they would have to close their doors within 6 month. But it's exactly one year since the hack and everyon

Sure you can claim that getting hacked is "nature of the game" - but that's not the real issue. The issue was with how they handled the public disclosure of the hack. Instead of immediately alerting their clients that there h

Wouldn't this just provide an opening for a investment firm to swoop in, buy Yahoo, sell all their assets and cash out? Because no one is doing that... I'd have to guess there is more going on

Definitely! I'm just being realistic - These press releases are basically the tea ceremony everyone is expected to perform. If you just made several mil I honestly doubt you're thinking about making the "transition as smooth

If my boss hugged people in meetings, I think he'd be reported to HR. That's just weird and creepy...

Forgive my ignorance, but isn't openSSH more or less a done deal? How many man hours are they honestly putting into that now-a-days?

Without the "Please" the phrase sounds like an order. You don't really want a terminal ordering/telling you what to do. The "Please" reframes it into a request.

While the language definitely has it's problems (I'm not a fan of the syntax at all), I think dropping it for something marginally better like R is a little silly. So many man hours have been put into writing MATLAB/Octave co

by bambam12897 13y ago
Both issues are solved by Octave... which doesn't require the bifurcation of the community of people writing new code.

by bambam12897 13y ago
It's funny how domain dependent this is. In controls/filters/vision/applied-math no one don't takes anything other than MATLAB seriously. There are of course the C/C++/FORTRAN gurus that write LAPACK/

My general opinion has settled on: Doing linear algebra -> Matlab/octave Twiddling data tables around and making plots -> R

You honestly think Microsoft it trying to shift to a RedHat-like business plan? That they'll switch to becoming a support provider? I think what RedHat is doing is nice, but it's really not on the same scale to what Microsoft doe

by bambam12897 13y ago
I guess I left out the obvious connection. It's all part of the same thinking. RMS et al think - not unreasonably - think that this is Microsoft's business plan, so they really don't want the open source community investing t

You honestly don't get it? I really like microsoft products and I use them every day, however the business model is too lock people in to their ecosystem so that you have to purchase licenses for their products. Mono clearly undermines

We've known for a long time that for instance road noise causes health issues. I don't see road noise being all that different from white noise. Outside of the dump truck at 5AM, it's not so loud as to cause damage http:&#x2

"And access to source code for this price? Damn" That's pretty standard. I spoke to a guy working with the Cryengine, and he said that it was so full of unfinished features and bugs that you were absolutely forced to work on

by bambam12897 13y ago
That's more of a management issue. If you decide to be (or are assigned to be) the "box guy" then it may be mind numbing. However, reasonable management would shift you around to different projects to keep work stimulating.

So is selling stuff before it actually exists the new norm? I get it when you have a kick-starter, but when you're already established doesn't it come off as a bit shady and scummy? Are they low on money and desperately need to ca
