If it wasn't a typo then I hope you would appreciate it being brought to your attention that it's 'statute', not 'statue'.

What if you only use the HTTPS VPN when necessary, e.g. for streaming Netflix (seeing that they've been a target before), but for regular browsing, email, DNS, etc. you don't?

I just wanted to convey the idea so I didn't compile or check the code. But now that you bring up UB, I would change the MY_STRUCT_VAR macro as follows: #define MY_STRUCT_VAR(name) \ _Alignof(max_alig

Opaque types do not force you to do the allocation in the library. my_lib.h: struct my_struct; size_t my_struct_size(void); #define MY_STRUCT_MAX_SIZE 512 #define MY_STRUCT_VAR(name) \ char name##_buf__[MY_STRUCT_MAX_SIZE];

Is it moot? With templates, the Visitor type is selected at compile time and needn't even be polymorphic. The member function call(s) can often be inlined. Pretty sure there is no dynamic dispatch or jumps in such a scenario. Cache m

Why the CRTP? Plenty of zero-overhead Visitors have been implemented with regular templates. I don't see the connection.

Password Store (AKA 'pass') stores each password as a GPG-encrypted text file, so with gpg, $EDITOR, and cp/mv you have full control over your password data at all times without pass even having to get involved.

To take this even further: how about requesting the opportunity to ask the interviewers questions before instead of after the technical portion? Then, if there are any clear red flags about the company or work environment one can avoid

For sure. I never said all interview questions have to be 'familiar'. I'm not the same guy you were talking to earlier.

I was responding to the words I quoted from your post. I was not aware that somebody had already made the point that even apparently simple problems may not be 'familiar' to all candidates.

Which C++ projects have "mega dependencies"? There is no technical reason to have those (or any other kind of dependency management problems, for that matter). I'm not sure what it's like on Windows, but most other OSes
