Wait until you find out about the cat test. It found a failure mode no human had thought of. No amount of the developer claiming a test like that was not fair was enough to invalidate the results. No actual cats were harmed but treats may h

Many of my customers are in an industry with a huge C++ code base and it's all under active development. Safety certification requirements are onerous and lead-times for development are long: many are now experimenting with C++17 and C

We use this question in technical interviews (we hire compiler developers for whom this sort of esoteric knowledge is daily bread). It illustrates one of the incompatibilities between the C programming language and the C++ programming langu

It required the invention of beer (which was predicated on a number of technologies, including large-scale agriculture, pottery, and zymurgy). Once they cracked open the first cold ones though, it got hard to get up off the stone-age couch

I'd definitely call the Steam Deck unix-like, although GNU/Linux is less POSIX-conformant than QNX is. Source-level and command-level compatibility is what makes something "unix-like". Paying a hefty annual license fee t

There are not any real time patches for Linux: there's only the low-latency kernel. Low-latency and realtime are different things. A lot of the time the two can appear superficially similar, until they don't and your airplane fall

I live in a rural area. It is filled with all kinds of wildlife from earthworms to bears, all of whom leave their metabolic waste in large quantities everywhere. Should they all be eradicated and all the fields and forests be cleansed in th
