I have had my teeth filled by a dentist that didn't "believe" in novocaine. I would have asked if he believed in repeat business—if so, give me the novocaine.

As a "healthy" person, if I'm feeling overwhelmed or (situationally) depressed I find that I almost always feel better in the morning after a long sleep. It may recur as the day wears on, but sleep is extremely helpful. That

In light of the fact that this person's friend died last week , perhaps you might lead with condolences for their loss before trying to figure out how you can use this death as a data point to vindicate your argument...

Your dissatisfaction comes from looking to work for meaning. There is no implicit meaning—only that which you create for yourself.

I think you really hit on something here. Anytime I'm working on a hobby of mine, I like to actively get into the weeds (figuratively, occasionally literally). It's in exploring and learning about the depth of the unknown that I f

I wish that instead of teaching classes about how to win the CS technical interview, schools would teach classes about how to interview for technical roles. Aside from security, I think this is the biggest challenge we face as an industry

Another bubble that passed me by, it seems. If I were one of these paper millionaires, I'd be investing in property and precious metals—there are a few companies that accept BTC for those.

Assuming this is at all serious (which I doubt), it would be a rather cynical, facile, and insipid reading of both The Last Jedi and history itself. The most egregious point (of the many to choose from that I could dissect) is the followi

In my opinion, the best solution for everyone involved is to allow companies to renew copyrights annually into perpetuity after an initial period, but charge a non-trivial renewal fee and increase it with every renewal. If you're a com

That was really interesting. Thanks for sharing!

I've started to do the same. I don't know how sad it is; it signals to me that they have no idea how to select good engineers and don't care about interview feedback. In my experience, these are also the companies that ghost

That wouldn't do much good unless we can re-establish the magnetosphere.

Yep, and I even referred to reference counting earlier in the week as garbage collection, so I'm going to assume I was having memory corruption with my answer. :-)

It's slower when done retroactively. A developer writing typed code has the problem domain and software design unmarshaled into his brain while writing his small section. Type testing occurs concurrently with feature testing. Types add

This is like 5% of their net income, so a slap on the wrist. They control more than 40% of the local news market. The FTC needs to break them up, not keep approving their continued growth.

Oh, I totally forgot about C++/CLI! You're absolutely right; that's my mistake. I do agree that RAII is preferable.

by mratzloff 9y ago
Go has a garbage collector. RAII is only viable in languages where destruction is predictable, like C++ or PHP.

Yes, but both of these viewpoints are important, depending on the context.

I agree with your broader point, but Google is not helpless here, even though AT&T employs about three times as many people. Google employs 74,000 people in CA, NY, MI, PA, GA, TX, CO, MA, WA, VA, and DC. Five of those are red or swing

It was just an example. It could be whatever the user wants to pay; since they're paying the fees for each transaction, it makes sense to keep some money in a wallet.

OK, that's really good to know. I haven't had that experience but perhaps it occurs when syncing? I've never used that feature (don't need it; free is fine for me).

This article was co-written by the author of that book. I also recommend that book for those who are curious about evidence-based, well-researched accounts. Written by a journalist. It leaves aside the question of extraterrestrial origin as

I don't know if alien spacecraft have visited Earth or not, but nothing says they would have to be piloted by aliens. If they exist, they could just as easily be robotic drones.
