>The problem is that most tutorials depict emacs as a bag of keyboard shortcuts. But in reality, there are some simple principles that are quite understandable. Do you know one that doesn't ?

Maybe. But if it is a common idiom in the linux kernel (is it ?), it doesn't mean anything that the first time you encounter it you will take some small amount of time understanding it, because then you'll know about it, and it wo

Linus works directly with a small number of people. They are not bothered by his abrasive personality. The rest is free to work with another maintainer if they wish to... But yeah, don't try to mimic him on people skills. I don't

Well, both are dictators responsible for the death of millions of people for political and ethnic reasons. They are perfectly comparable. http://www.nybooks.com/articles/2011/03/10/hitler-vs-stalin-...

Pool allocation, and delete the whole thing at the end. Of course, sometimes (most times ?) you can't do this, and you really need a GC. There is a reason why TAOCP spends a whole chapter on GC IIRC...

C++ is not even technically a superset of C... `auto` has very different meanings in both languages, and you can't omit the return type of an int-returning function in C++

Git does support external diff and merge tools. I guess they don't want to support every language ever used directly inside the VCS.

Sometimes it's even worse... For example, in France, a university is required by law not to be selective for it's first year programs, as long as the candidate graduated high school.

Depends on your memory representation of the graph. If you simply use the obvious one (a node have a list of pointers to its successors), I don't see the difference except for successors[]/children[]

Lambdas are actually just a nice way to write functions/function objects without polluting the scope. I guess a compiler have no such problems. Immutable methods are the same thing as a safety check for humans. As you want to check for

Once you get far enough with template metaprogramming, C++ start to look like a slow version of Haskell with horrible syntax and cryptic error messages...

You can almost 3d print at the atom level with the right kind of machinery... Some FDM printers apparently have resolutions in the low 10s of microns. This laboratory probably isn't using off-the-shelf consumer-grade 3d printer

If the corruption is based on a value, different for each client (eg, a random number or the serial number of your motherboard), how do you reverse it ?
