   Maybe hardware as a service? Perhaps specialized chips constructed by software is the next evolution in efficiency? You could have a data center, chip designer, fabricator, and software service.. all in one. Unlikely, maybe... but the qu

   For similar reasons it seems inappropriate for PIMPL. The template indirectly calls `sizeof(...)` on the template type. When that type is not concrete (which is likely the case with PIMPL) the code will not compile. The `value_ptr_exampl

   It is my opinion that Google does not view Android as simply "an operating system for phones". Android has tremendous application in IoT devices and appliances. The lifecycle of many applications is quite a bit longer than the c

   I concur with all of these and I will admit to on more than one occasion implementing a `Maybe<...>` type. No matter how many silly blogs I see screaming "exceptions are evil", I have never understood the logic. Some time

   I like jsonschema [1][2], primarily because it's a cross-language standard. Though, I have never used `Good` - it seems to be pretty nice if you're Python focused. [1] https://pypi.python.org/pypi/jsonschema

   Personally I try to implement it as an AttributeError, it seems the most intuitive. By the way, I do understand your point and it's pretty valid in a lot of cases.

    There are quite a few nay-votes here, so I'll give a yay vote. In the past I have had to deal with very complex configuration systems; several thousands of lines of XML which were supposed to direct many applications. And writing:

    I am surprised people are shocked by this. Personally, I live in Berkeley - within a 20 mile footprint you have a nice sampling of exorbitant wealth and abject poverty. As you drive through you can see drastic changes of roadside advertise

    Nim is the language I have always thought was a brilliant idea that I never get to use. It's a shame. Nim is to C/C++ as CoffeeScript is to JavaScript. A highly extensible template language atop a portable language with librarie

    Median salary may go down for senior engineers, that's okay with me if more will have permanent jobs. It's not fair to software engineers at the tail ends of their careers that they are so often relegated to contract positions. M
