Funny, the same confusion exists in French "concurrence" can mean either "concurrency" or "competition". Here the meaning one aimed for was indeed "competition".

Someone should port all that C++ code (there's not that much of it, really) to Java, that would make it a lot easier to compile, wouldn't it?

Not to be (too) pedantic about it, but St Barts and St Martin are not overseas departments of France. They used to be part of the Guadeloupe overseas department, but seceded to be a "collectivite d'outremer" (overseas collect

I think you mean "casually", not "causally" (even though it's kind the interesting Freudian slip, IMHO).

It's a little odd to write: if color_enabled: print(added(r2.answer, color=True)) else: print(added(r2.answer)) wouldn't you rather write: print(added(r2.answer,

if your cache line is 75% zeroes, then half of it respects the objective of "should contain 50% of each bit", and the other half is all zeroes, which is a waste (according to this objective)... in other words, only half the cache

As I commented there: http://garrett.damore.org/2014/09/modernizing-less.html what's worse is that BSS and data pages are faulted in, so just to startup the OS has to page in multiple times, just to read&#x2

Actually, CATIA V4 was never ported to Windows. The next version CATIA V5 (and now V6) had Windows as one of its supported platforms.

Well, isn't this going to drop if the market is suddenly flooded with people looking for work? Tough situation for anyone getting laid off.

I believe it's "Gareth Morgan" (Here's a link: http://www.amazon.com/Images-Organization-Gareth-Morgan/dp/1... ). Interesting read, but dry.

That's odd, we have a saying in France that one always ought to be a fashionable 15 minutes late, it's considered polite to do so..

Sure those programmers learn the rules... then they promptly forget them because they seem too complicated and "it works on my machine with only one client".. I agree with you, one must know why rules are important.. but in large

Heh, my 1st commandment of multithreaded programming is: share as little as possible, isolate data in each thread and hand-off ownership between threads. With this, you will need only very little synchronization (only for queues), and you w

Sure.. It should reference Lakos for good design. In ch7, you should have a section about singletons. Singletons should not exist, GoF hurt the industry a lot by saying singleton was OK... it most certainly is not OK. No one needs it, and t

even validation of first & last names is usually awful. For instance many sites tell you that having a dash "-" in your first name is invalid... yet a lot of French (first or last) names contain that character..

I once used a similar trick combining C++ placement new and multiple classes to mimic several possible values of refcounters to simulate reference counting without a data member (for instance the object is created at C1, AddRef news it in p

one easy way to slow down compiles on Windows is to include windows.h everywhere, this pulls down about 2 Mb of declarations that the cpp front-end has to parse just to reach in the internal guards... it all depends on how large your header

by jbn 16y ago
yes, and that's using the Pimpl idiom to decouple things can improve build times. If your whole codebase rebuilds everytime a header is touched, then your headers are probably not correctly organized. Having minimal headers (using forwards

by jbn 16y ago
even with internal include guards, just the time to read through (and skip) the whole files for later inclusions can become dominant in cpp processing time (i.e. it's mostly waiting on I/O reading the same headers many times over). That's w
