This is a very naiive and simple question: I really love the idea of SQL and am looking for a project to use it. It seems like a great way to encapsulate most of the state of your program so you can make your code more decoupled. For crunch

what's the advantage of using perf over valgrind? I've never really managed to get it working (it hooks into the kernel and inevitable some part of it fails for me) - but maybe I'm missing out on something? I understand it pr

I'll give you that not everyone is productive at 12 hours - but I'm not talking about everyone or even averages. The point is there are plenty of counterexamples of people that can work 12 hours days for months and are way more pr

You might be fine，but I'd be ready to make a lot less money as we move into a more freelance oriented market the problem is that labor doesn't scale very well. 2 talented young programmers working all-out 12 hours a day on one pro

(I got through about half the article) I think making the analogy to Christianity and chivalry is simply a way for Nitobe to communicate the way samurai were percieved and it seems a bit dramatic to lay it all at his feet as some kind of gr

The fruit in China, at least in the big cities, is pristine. Apples are individually wrapped, everything is generally impeccable. You can get cheaper beat-up fruit in some food stalls at a cheaper price if you want.

oh, very interesting! I'm definitely going to look into this further. Thanks for the pointers

I guess I understand why it has to make a new folder - it just seems that that would means you have to redirect (and relink) anything that uses a recompiled library. Okay, I'll definitely start to dive into this. I was asking around to

I'm trying to read the docs and understand how nix works. It seems really fantastic but at the same time so radically different that it seems like it would collide with a lot of built in assumptions of Linux development. For example, d

Sorry, I mean "drawbacks". One of the reoccurring complaints about OO is that it leads to huge codebases. Lots of articles about how X rewrote some Java program in Y and it's not 10x smaller and 100x more maintainable. This i

Have you actually talked to educators about this? I've asked a few why OO is the first thing you learn - and the reasoning was two fold: 1) People that start off by learn imperative programming end up writing really really shitty OO co

That being said.. the fact that there are people in Brussels that probably spend hundreds if not thousands of man-hours figuring out what is butter and is not kinda illustrates what people don't like about the EU

"For what its worth I consider object's simply as a basic level category of procedures and data tied to a namespace.“ I mean you're just using different words to talk about the same thing. In your terminology inheritance is j

Most families in SF either have been there for decades or do in fact make 150k/yr. It's not being rich - it's just the local standard. This is the mark of a successful city (even though in the process culturally a lot was los

I think when you're a person as important as Zuckerberg - it'd not be unreasonable to think you're under surveillance by other governments and so you probably can't easily guarantee that your hardware hasn't been ta

Since people are still figuring out what makes good VR and good paradigms for programming with VR, I think it'd be likely that any design by committee API would be a disaster

wouldn't it make more sense to pay based on how much your site gets used then? Or would that be too expensive to track?

It's interesting how in China they kinda leapfrogged credit cards all together (they still exist, but they're not ubiquitous). Here it's either cash or payments through phones and QR codes using Alipay/Wechat/etc. I

I think I understand the distinction you're making. However I think it's only technically correct. I understand that I can boot up a VM with Steam, download the game, copy it from the VM to my machine that doesn't their softw

How are logging in and installing someone's software even remotely similar? I personally find Steam, buggy, ugly, intrusive and effectively spyware that is logging and tracking god knows what. I feel very uncomfortable installing it on

I think about:config is terrible. It's really hard to find anything in it. It's very "if you know its there you will use" but has no discoverability. For instance I was wondering if I could have one tab connect over a VP

I think you're talking about "first year of work" levels of experience. Estimation is hard - but a major goal of Agile development is to make it possible. I thought the same thing as you, but a month ago someone explained it

It's worse than that, lots of art at good publicly owned institutions aren't easily available in high resolution. There aren't any really great central repositories for high resolution scans that are free to use. I know in Mo

I'm not correcting the guy's grammar for god's sake. I'm pointing out a subtle but serious prejudice and discrimination that is pervasive in our industry. But go on and cover your ears and pretend it's not happening

Yeah and white people are worse than asians at math and blacks are more likely to rob your store The fact that there are still people that don't understand discrimination in this day and age is infuriating. If you think your interview

The lack of people to talk to is definitely the number one reason their English proficiency plunges after school/college, however in my rather limited experience their reading isn't great. Like you say they have decent vocabularie
