   thanks for the response! I'm a big fan of doubly linked lists, so it was interesting to see that there was extra work to get them going. I'm certainly going to read up on this "ownership" thing. I get the impression that

   I probably shouldn't even be in this thread but isn't that creeping back toward garbage collection?

   I loved Gravity, obviously some of the science was bad but man what an experience, saw it in 3d, I haven't watched a 3d movie since some "wax museum" thing some time ago.

   lol I built a drum machine too, its a nightmare of bash, perl, c, bc and invokations of sox. in my case, I can't show it off because the code is so bad it would do more harm than good. I wrapped the entire mess up into an easily called

   I had a buddy try to etch a pc board once. He used a disposeable aluminum tray to do the etching in. Can you guess how it went?

   I can tell you in my case, older folks who still program can be VERY picky on what new tools they elect to invest time in learning. When we elect to "keep up", we do it in the general case and I'll tell you why from my point

    I know what you mean (at least I hope I do), but after getting the boot from reddit (actually just 6 years of karma set to zero to effectively silence me) this place is fantastic by comparison, and I guess I'm new enough to have not be

    so can you reboot during a flight? just asking, I'm a bit forgetful about things like that.

    that post contains a pretty serious error, the sig should start with two dashes and a space.

    I loved reading about ada back in the day, how is it nowadays wrt network programming. I'm checking out gnat.sockets, does it have a snappy select() type thing like linux's epoll? Sorry if a lazy question, last time I looked at ad

    I like notepad but I wish it would remember what directory it was working in.

    I never used Ada, but read a book on it. I don't even remember much, just that how much I loved just the look of the example programs, but that was during community college when I was new to programming. It wasn't part of a class,

    I managed to wire up sirc to a perl eliza implementation once. My cobol instructer in community college thought I was a pervert for doing so and in hindsight she was probably right, I think I only ran it once honestly. Nowadays I just run a

    they added memory after the malware attack so its probably better now.

    heh interestingly enough, I've learned that machine learning is a trend in malware protection nowadays and rather than being signature based, it watches for malware like behavior. after the attack, we installed something like that, and

    I remember reading about malware like this some time back. I tried everything I could to prepare but got vetoed at every turn by management. My idea was to do "pull" backups to a server, instead of "push" backups to shar

    100 percent agree, but honestly I couldn't make sense of the examples I looked at. It was probably just me tho.

    I'm not that great a programmer, but this one seems easy to me, you write an interpreter in brainfuck that allows function definitions that support recursion, then include your recursive function definitions as an included constant the

    I'm going to forward this to our local windows server admins, with the caveat that that it only applies if the particular windows server version is turing complete.

    lol or MFC, I checked that out and subsequently pulled the power plug on my pc. Granted I'm probably not a very good programmer. heck my comment is probably not even on topic in this thread.

    I think the term "software engineer" is sort of meaningless. I know someone who builds ssis packages and while he does know T-SQL, he is relatively unfamiliar with transactions, cannot describe how a balanced tree index works, and

    honestly, when I approach programming, a primary concern is to spend effort to help make the program easier to modify. I'm not the original proponent of that as a goal, its just something I read somewhere but it really helped me in my
