   Thanks! Out of curiosity, what's different about RAD's hiring?

   Is RAD looking for an experienced graphics programmer / etc, by chance?

   I'm having an extremely hard time finding a remote dev job, as I have years of C/C++ knowledge and industry experience. If I worked in webdev, I probably wouldn't say the same.

   SPOILER ALERT: The first link's top comment reads "You have to give the guy credit for <foo and bar and baz>", ruining the story. :/

    Working at Dropbox would almost certainly require "advanced knowledge of computational complexities of algorithms, data structures and etc".

    Brilliant, thanks! I've used up enough of your time already, but if you feel like it...: Do you know if gcc has the equivalent of #pragma warning( disable: N ) ? i.e. could you disable your argc and argv warning for just that source file

    Good to know, thank you so much! Would you mind testing with -Wall etc? (And any other "give me more verbosity!" settings) It was a poor design choice by Microsoft. All of their compilers emit the warning when using the highest warning l

    Truth! That dodges the warning nicely. But check this out: #define SOME_MACRO( foo, bar ) \ do \ { \ foo(); \ bar();

    "Surely there is such a thing as a piece of code that generates very legitimate warnings, but happens to compile to something that appears to work under at least most circumstances." Yes. The most trivial example is probably (C++): F

    Tests and warnings compliment each other nicely. "My, you're looking testy today!" ... burgerbrain points out something very important: Code bases with warnings tend to be degenerate. Tend to. SQLite is not one of them. But I've seen s

    I write all my C and C++ code at warning level 4 (the maximum, which is probably equivalent to -Wall). IMO, it was a mistake for Visual Studio to default to warning level 3. Ignoring the compiler in production code is a sign of laziness,

    "it only applies for low-contrast backgrounds, like in these examples, for high-contrast backgrounds it doesn't necessarily make scanning harder" Not sure what you mean... It seems like these examples are very high contrast, no? There a

    I often write emails in Vim, then ggSHIFT-vSHIFT-g"+yALT-TAB CTRL-vTAB ENTER. And that, my friend, is modern day integration between gVim and GMail on Windows.

    The "Just give me the numbers..." counter-argument isn't valid. Right now, a hacker can kill a specific person, within 30 days, given the following assumptions: - that person is wearing an insulin pump with the remote control feat

    Aw. Was hoping to discover a decent older movie. EDIT: That's more like it... the next TechCrunch article uses a screenshot from Reservoir Dogs, which was a pretty awesome movie IMO. ( http://tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/

    To what end? I guess they could troll your "mobile app installation counter" if they really want to, but so what? If someone wants to misrepresent how many times they've installed your app, there's nothing you can do about it. (They could

    Hey, nice work. It looks pretty cool. It would be great if somehow you could click on the cards to switch between them. Forcing people to click on the dots at the bottom == very unintuitive.
