You can either put payments into the register or the safe. If it goes into the safe, it's nearly impossible to steal because there's a time lock preventing the cashier from accessing it. But you can't make change. This means

I thought the "green" was symbolic of the computer world because of the green code rain motif. Like how yellow = Mexico. This is shocking to say the least.

This incentivizes me to minimum effort school projects so I can focus on personal projects. But most professors want students to be creative and inventive on classwork. I get that this isn't a problem if I treat my schoolwork as having

The military has a parallel system of officers (managers) and enlisted/NCOs (sort of ICs). Even generals will have an NCO reporting into them whose job is to speak to the frontline and figure out wtf is actually going on. e.g. The Serg

C++ feels like a counterexample. There's zero or arguably negative hype behind the language and everyone I know hates it. However, we continue to write new code in C++ due to libraries and because people know it. These are all factors

You can't buy your way out of this, because C++ builds are only parallelizable across multiple translation units[1] (i.e. separate .cpp files). Unless you're willing to build a better single-core CPU, there's not much you can

It's very useful in C++, funnily enough. This is because I can have a non-templated interface base class, then a templated impl class. Then my templated impl header can be very heavy without killing my build times since only the interf
