Agreed. I thought everyone knew by now to do this. I'm somewhat surprised Mozilla decided to write a blog post on it. I guess it's always news to someone .

Ask them: How do they ensure that the code they deliver to their teammates is of high quality? Regardless of domain, the principles are the same -- answers that can be understood even by a non-technical person include "peer review of m

Another great paper on Stroustrup's website. If there was one salient point in his paper, it's "use types".

I came across this picture a couple of years back, and just viewed it again. Imagine. This is actually the sun setting, seen from another planet.

Much of this feedback misses the point -- the presentation is meant to supplement other forms of study. Read the paper a couple of times, and then come back to this. You'll appreciate its dynamic nature then.

No way. Anyone -- anyone -- who wrote a paper based on experimental data retrieved on the Shuttle would absolutely list the Shuttle, the flight, and the date. Basing research on data gathered in zero-gravity (technically micro-gravity freef

Well, your car cost a few thousand dollars. The shuttle cost a lot more. :-) I don't think it's a fair comparison.

Bringing up parts to the ISS doesn't count. It's done even less for science than the Shuttle. :-) Richard Feynman expressed great scepticism about the Shuttle, and its scientific value. In his books he writes how he never came acr

All amazing engineering achievements, and yet such white elephants in so many ways. The Mars Rovers and Space probes have been so much more valuable for science.

"Exceptions are typically — and correctly — seen as a control structure". So much for those who say using exceptions for flow control is bad .

Straight from the man himself, Bjarne Stroustrup. Really interesting for any C++ programmer.
