Yes, indeed I was refering to that Linus' post. But thanks for the link, I found Bjarne Strousrup's interview particularily interesting to read: http://harmful.cat-v.org/software/c++/I_did_it_for_you_all

Thank you, precious remarks. Should I assume that C projects are generally more hierarchical in nature, with one leader who orchestrates the entire production and where it would be rather difficult for team members to "freely" com

Excellent, thank you! This really shows how to turn C into OO.

I'm interested in monophony and plainchant, i.e. songs that only have vocals and no instruments and feature only one melodic line. Recently I've watched a documentary about flamenco and discovered the term "cante primitivo&qu

A side comment: any university/college teaching CS or Software Engineering should be able to answer your question. But I'm not sure they are.

This is an excellent answer. Read the first line once more: "able to deliver, seeing the big picture and recognizing the opportunities, turning ideas into products, becoming your own boss" I'd add: 1) Being able to sell. Tha

Two views on this issue. Books, with rare exceptions such as that of K.J. Rowling's and Dan Brown's, are not a global phenomenon, draw less attention, making the crime of piracy less tempting or less lucrative. Books are more elit

There are two kinds of feedback. The one that makes people stronger, and the one that makes people weaker. I believe it's so much more worthwhile to be supportive. When you have any kind of an adventage over others such as when you kno

For me the climate and people are more important than the pay strip. I'd choose something like the south of France, the region of Provance, cities like Avignon, Manosque or Grenoble (if you are into skiing). I'd dessuade you from

Hm, that's not a simple question to answer. It's not actually the matter of importance but rather of which e-mails can wait. There is a client, a global corp. interested in becoming partners with us who's willing to add our s

Excellent advise - the biggest problem most people have when starting playing with databases is that they don't have any data to begin with. Unless you have, let's say, a couple of tables 1000 records each, you cannot actually gra

It's great. "This site doesn't care if you're on an iMac or a motherf*ing Tamagotchi." Perfectly reasonable and I very much respect this approach. See http://www.fonerbooks.com/ on self-publishing.

I also think that your problem is that you are almost done with the school, you matured and grew indepedent from the institution - you are smart and experienced enough to have your own ideas of doing stuff. And the crisis you are going thro
