Why would you, at all, stay in a place where you're checked out? True, it might work at Intel or Microsoft, but most companies are 200 people or less.

While the caricature is entertaining, I have never worked in a corporation that works at all like what's described. At companies I've worked at, if you're checked out, you do not last. At companies I've worked at, some p

You sound very sure of yourself. If you look at the definition of the -> and [], you might learn something!

Are those who argue experts, or are they "experts" ? I know of no expert who would age with the interpretation of the post.

The post hinges on the faulty assumption that calculating the address of an lvalue "evaluates" that lvalue. This is not so. Any compiler that generates anything other than an add instruction (or lea or similar) is broken, for rath

This is entirely wrong. Taking the address of a field doesn't evaluate the field, and any compiler that does a load for that is broken.

Still no support for static compile and runtime introspection. That could be easily and cheaply implemented, at least for POD and aggregates thereof. If I have to build one more system that requires either a custom parser or repeating the n

Biomass. Coal. Cellulose. Lots of alternative paths could be followed if necessary.

Maybe it's personal, but I, too, hate the full justification. US newspapers used to do a lot of that, too, whereas European one didn't. It is shown that full justification is detrimental to actual reading. That being said, I don&#

I went one step further and built a Canadian that was built on x64, ran on raspberry pi, and targeted teensy cortex m4! https://github.com/jwatte/teensy-canadian

The problem here is that regular people are not involved, other than as tax payers. Corporations get to raid coffers of nation state tax rolls. Normal people not involved.

Those who don't learn make are doomed to reimplement it. Poorly. Also: never, ever, build a make system that relies on recursive make invocations. Automake is a particularly egregious violator is this rule (and other sanity rules) and

Not to mention, the test of a platform doesn't come in the first hour, it comes after shipping, some Saturday morning at 4am. And then over the course of the next ten years. Not saying Racket is bad, but first impressions usually give

In the US, once you pay an initial retainer, a layer will sometimes work on a contingency basis - meaning they get one third of the final settlement. Given that UMG is a rich target, and the claim seems very strong, you might find someone l

The biggest cost of using amazon isn't the hardware, it's the markup on traffic (if you are a dynamic site.)

I was using encryption on 4.4. Samsung/Sprint pushed a system update that wasn't tested with full device encryption. My device was bricked and not recoverable. Sprint required me to pay repairs. Pretty sure the ecosystem isn'

Getting a technical co-founder might be a really good idea! That co-founder may be able to start sooner than you can. But you should definitely think about cutting bait on work and side project soon if you want to double down. The fact that

Light blue, dark gold. Although the lack of gamma correction makes any color reproduction dubious at best.

Yes, the SATA interface to flash storage is obsolete. Just like internal combustion engines! And it will be almost as hard to get rid of.

I agree: Magic ring buffers are cool! (We used then in BeOS in 1999!) Separately, watch the number of mmap segments. Linux kernel uses a tree to manage then, and the O(log N) operations really start to hurt at larger numbers.

Privacy is not achievable. It's much better to build a world where we can all live happy /without/ privacy. This requires an attitude adjustment and significant tolerance because everything is public. Want to know if your ban

In Mountain View, California minimum wage is below a living wage. I understand the sentiment: The scarcest resource for me is my time. Money is how we let people decide who gets to tell whom what to do with their time. A system where 0.1% t

We already saw IRATE MONK and friends a couple of years ago, right? Is this different, or independent verification?
