Lunch: like anything else. How much will it save you? That depends on how much you would otherwise spend on lunch (hint, not $20). Even with free lunch, you will sometimes want to get out of the office anyway, so don't count it at a

As the other responder stated, even in cases where this law applies the employer can opt for "pay in lieu of notice". So 60 days severance pay obviates the notification requirement. That aside, there are a lot of scenarios where

No warning is required. In practice it depends mostly on the size of the company and the size of the layoffs... I think most companies would like to layoff without warning, but that's not always practical. It also depends on if they

And on the other hand there are plenty of applications where you can assume that the encoded data doesn't need any pre-processing, either because your program was the one that did the encoding or because validation occurs on a higher

He might be accurate about the number of ideas they discard, but he's got to be overstating how "built" they become. If it really is a bad idea, you can usually sniff that out well before it's fully implemented.

All I'm saying is that the tired "count the characters of the comment that says tweets are too short to contain a complex thought and point out that it fits within a tweet" method of argumentation doesn't prove anything

This response tactic is tedious every time it comes up. "Tweets r 2 short" is never a valid complaint unless the limit is below 16 characters?

It's unfortunate that strcat & friends don't return a pointer to the new end of the string, or a count of the characters copied. You could use those to make subsequent cats more efficient.

How big are your commits that you can't remember what all is in them? I always do a final diff to make sure that everything is production quality (no forgotten TODOs, etc), so I've just looked at everything I'm committing.
