Perhaps you're just missing the complexity of the real world? I'm working on quite big finite element desktop applications, where alone the reading of the data can take up quite a bit of time. The user can then apply all kinds of

The study is about people being unselfish, not about people seeing themself as unselfish.

I think my point is: yes, the fear is irrational, but you're not irrational because you have the fear. Or saying it the other way, you can't be just rational and the fear will disappear. So it's quite unempathic to think abou

Please don't directly connect irrationality with anxiety. Sure, there's a connection between the rational and emotional parts in humans, but this doesn't mean that being anxious automatically means being irrational. Quite a f

I know about that anxiety, what other people might think about you. The problem with anxiety is, that you just want to get rid of it, the anxiety hinders you in a way to look at it, to reflect about it. Instead of trying to get rid of it, i

I don't think so. If I remember it correctly, the Epic guys said something about switching back (for the Unreal Engine 4) from their own scripting language to C++, because multi language debugging was a nightmare, and working on a big

If you've performance reviews, then you also most likely have some kind of metric, and if you've a metric people will start to game it. A colleague of mine always said: you get what you measure.

Most likely having an explicit copy method instead of a copy constructor.

My bad, I thought std::optional is part of C++14, it seems to be part of the next standard C++17, but there's still boost::optional. About the container issue: if you have objects that might fail during the creation it seems like a bad

by dan00 9y ago
Instead of using a constructor you can use a constructor method e.g.: class Foo { public: static std::optional<Foo> create(); private: Foo(); };

What you're saying sounds more like social anxiety than shyness. There's a difference between the two and shyness is more about being bit overwhelmed of new social situations than to be afraid of them.

I think it's the difference between having fear of social situations and therefore to avoid them, or to prefer not to be that much in social situations, because they overwhelm you. There's no sharp definition of both that clearly
