I take provigil, or I should say I have a prescription for it. I typically only take it: a) Have to write a lot of boring code that has already been mapped out, ie I'm not solving any ridiculous problems that require imagination and/or bein

Like I said, if that happens you are doing something incredibly wrong. It is your error. It's not the language, it's bad programming, bad architecture, bad whatever. If you release an object and it gets torn down, it means you didn't incr

No I'm with you re: header files. These "people" don't also seem to get when you distribute a lib, you need to distribute headers with them.
