I'm not American though. You can hardly deny it is, or let's say the most relevant. China is getting there though.

Because it's not a per capita thing how large a military you can afford, or how strongly you can lobby. On a per capita basis the US is world's #10. The US is the most important country in the world because of its aggregate power,

These are not even close to the top salaries in a big org. Tops execs make millions. Your ceiling in the lower ranks is often in the 100-200K range if you're lucky.

Except it does.It's an exceptional thing to be close to the bottom in the org charts and being strongly compensated. Maybe cofounders or senior employees with a lot of stock.

IIRC pointer arithmetic in Turbo Pascal had some restrictions vs C (typing, limits). Still nothing of that was standard Pascal at least back then. You willingly spend your time in JVM world? ;-)

I should know, I was raised there. The Canary Islands have some special treatment with respect to mainland Spain in things like VAT and petrol tax, which are still in line with many European countries (and you don't go that far to buy

The problem with Pascal was that it didn't have strongholds like C/C++. It was a good (better) general purpose language than C or C++ but then you needed inline ASM for more things as it didn't allow for pointer arithmetic. B

Yep well, it's the landscape of OSS and software development in general extending into the hackathon. Not something that should be policed IMO but many people would like a different landscape.

I think so, they look interesting but I haven't been to one so I cannot report. From the pics it seems to me that they're something like 90% male in their 20s-30s. I realise now that my other post was not very clear. I went to a &

That's all fine, but the author's points stand. They are a bit like LAN parties. Don't expect much more than that, and if that's what you want then it's all fine. However, for getting stuff done they are not a good

Back in the 90s, C was indeed considered high level. Most people had a background of assembly+something else (like Pascal or even Basic). The typical C+libs approach was rather high level in comparison.

Still no, you cannot lose a move in the opening. There is no "pass" move in chess. In fact any initial move no matter how wasteful you try to make it, will very soon alter the game. Even rook pawn a3 or h3 will soon have an influe

If you cannot "really enforce" one policy why do you think you will be able to "really enforce" the other? When enforcement doesn't work rules are guidelines.

Nope, it's pretty basic theory that 1 turn advantage changes this symmetry completely. Take a chess board and try it yourself.

Huh? Black and White are not symmetrical, so it's not a matter of chucking a turn somewhere somehow.

Also, not a great idea to rely on some "cloud" 3rd party service to host your portfolio IMO - at least not exclusively. Maybe I'm old-fashioned. That said, I don't think anyone will bin a candidate because Github didn&#x

A commercial service is paradoxically (or not) exonerated of their own market-limiting decisions. It's when we're talking about a non-profit that moral issues arise for things like discrimination for gender (in this case would be

Still, it would make zero sense to me that someone would provide a service against doxxing and limit said service to women. Why discriminating against men? Men can also be victimized by doxxing. How about providing it to people instead of j

I use it all the time, but there are situations and environments where it's overkill. Same with Mercurial. For starters it requires installation and that they is effectively a deterrent for many people especially non-devs.
