There does come a tipping point that most land lords don't like to talk about. When interest rates go so low that the cost of owning your own home is cheaper than renting. This is including all the cost of maintenance, water rates, gar

Agree, typescript does help with that slow realization that its a problem with your code passing in undefined instead of a object.

Flow/Typescript both of great but writing from start from scratch both flow and typescript slow me down with all the hassle of needing to define the types of parameters and data structures. Typescript being a bit verbose at time too. W

I think it's fair to say you're wrong. https://www.w3.org/TR/css3-values/#px 1px = 1/96th of 1in There is a A LOT of content being built, have been build by designers for 96dpi. The reason why it is

Most high DPI web-browser/software run into the main problem that the world runs on <= 96dpi screens. So for the act of sainty they all throw their arms up and say, `We assume the device is 96dpi and we scale a pixel to that`. Consi

Yes similar to a prototype language. The original design goals of OOP was you removed your constraints from the machine language and the restrictions that comes with a state based machine. Instead of focusing on mutex’s, member fields, priv

`Technically` The current representation of `objects` in java is a abomination to the original idea behind object's. Hell even the use of class, members and fields fly in the face of what real objects are.

Congrats on getting to the interview phase. I've heard horror stories of Microsoft interview process and reluctant to go through their interview meat grinder.

Curious any reason why you failed the interview twice?

You're correct, but missing one major factor. The price of land. If you have a look the countries with housing market bubbles have high regulation with zoning and release of land to build houses on. Take for example Australia. We have

When migrating from 56K modem to ADSL it was amazing. The same cannot be said from the migration from ADSL2+ to NBN Fiber to the home was nice, but wasn't WOW. The whole NBN has turned into a complete joke. If they would of stuck to ro

Then why did your real-estate prices go down when they disallowed foreign investor's?

by hackits 9y ago
Partly correct.... If you access the ABS web-site and download the house price index for each state and capital and map out long term growth excluding the years after 2000. Then calculate the growth of housing that has been typically matchi

This is where we run into a little bit of a problem. You have a char pointer that can be either a multiple byte encoded (depending on the code page window is using). It also can be UTF-8 encoded. Then when you move onto windows wchar_t that

> Go and Rust expose UTF-8 at the byte level. Or you can take the C++/C approach and have a character 1 byte, 2 bytes, or a multi-byte. It's a pain in the ass to constantly in C/C++ having to interface between two librarie

When I was contacted they where looking for over-all experienced developers. From listening to some of their developers podcasts they found most developer picked up Perl development and didn't have any problems with the language. At th

A job is a job. For me the simple truth of the matter is I couldn't support the quality of life I wanted to live working in games and the salary and rewards they where offering. It was fun, but going back to C/C++ is something I w

You can use my own experience as a little bit of anecdotal evidence. I started out of collegue and started programming in C/C++ as a game dev. I started at 40K AUD in Sydney in 2002 just before the housing boom here in Australia. Grant

Average users don't use Linux. Considering that you're getting thousands of man months for free by using the kernel and open source tools I would imagine you pitching in to help with a little bit of your time.

Give credit to Lisa for the presentation. Although she starts with the premise that don't build a OOP over a C API instead use rules instead! Although by the end of the presentation I have to question her recommendations and solution t

Is anyone going to actually come to the table with some hard numbers here or is this constantly going to be a dick waving contest? Playing the devil advocate here I bet internally they have metrics telling them there isn't any value th

I wouldn't be too fast to jump to conclusion robots.txt legally enforceable. You would need to cite prior case law's. Without any case law's it make decision on a law error prone at best.
