For that real solution you need to have a manager who approves spending time on removing unused cruft. Otherwise you'll end up smuggling refactoring inside other tasks, which is terrible for quality control.

"Very sad and bad such civilian accidents" is a euphemism I haven't heard before.

With all recent Metaverse stuff, it seems that Neal Stephenson is public domain now. So many things on the Internet are based on Snow Crash and Diamond Age that maybe it's time to move to different book now.

I'm not sure what you're trying to tell me, but I can tell you that this ex-coworker would have been more convincing.

I used to have a co-worker exactly like you describe. He was great for consulting business: the clients liked him him so much that they hired two additional consultants. One to fix everything that he broke and another to do the job he was s

Why M? The whole point of radix sort is to do the comparisons binary digit by digit so that the total number becomes O(N * log(M)).

I guess they could adjust the generator somehow, but the response would have to be really immediate. I think I could adjust to something that feels like rubber band instead of chain, but varying speed over pedal stroke sounds bad. Yes, I kn

Hahahahaha. Every time it breaks, you go searching for help and end up reading either holy war about this or that technical detail or a dick-measuring contest.

FWIW, I'm reading this on an early 2013 MBP. I think it would still have years of use in it, but new MacOS versions don't support it any more and I have this gut feeling that Linux maintainers aren't okay with the idea of sup

I feel like doing stupid comparisons right now. Feedbin, The Old Reader, or even running a feed aggregator on your own computer are like the sound of a tree falling in the woods. They're also not like The Matrix, because not only they

Yes, music.stackexchange is pretty bad. Did you find any of the parts where someone writes that the classical teaching style is for training professional musicians or at least developed in the time when it was?

by oriolid 5y ago
From my perspective that's some kind of weird Chinese thing. For a different view, you could for example look at the discussion at https://music.stackexchange.com/questions/120433/why-don-t-p... . It's a

In music there's also the stubborn belief that anyone who's older than 8 is too old to learn, and the idea that the goal of music lessons is to train professional musicians and anyone over 8 is not going to be ready at college age

Have you tried formal computer science training? Learning programming through copying from StackOverflow sounds to me like about as good idea as learning piano by watching Synthesia videos on Youtube.

The usual and not completely unfounded reasons are - Dependency on huge C++ runtime library and possible ABI problems. Twice so for embedded targets. - Careless use of C++ features can lead to large binaries and unexpected runtime costs. -

Well, a message saying "This heap is small, please give me more space" would be all too helpful. I haven't touched Eclipse in years, but Clion and Rider have this failure mode where they just use all the CPU all the time and

How does the tuning work? To me it still seems that JVM (or at least the version bundled with JetBrains IDEs) keeps allocating memory until it's near max heap size and it's up to the user to find the value that's large enough

by oriolid 5y ago
Just because someone managed to come up with a worse alternative doesn't make Java good. The main problems, initial JIT time and fixed heap size still remain.

The 90s thinking was that a smart person who isn't a weirdo would have chosen a respectable profession like lawyer, doctor, accountant or similar. So it was kind of expected that programmers are weirdos.
