The ms is evil thing is very 90s. It doesn't look so bad compared to say facebook and google who's core business is advertisement. Those will sell your personal information to 3rd parties any chance they get. Ms core business is s

As a developer I noticed lately there is an impressive number of libraries coming from ms. They probably have a hundred libraries just on github and many older ones on codeplex. I hope this new practical money making focus doesn't mean

I'm probably cynical but I dont think the world need more languages. A clean and simple language turns ugly and complex given enough time. The programming world is fragmented enough as it is. I think we need more libraries and tools f

Yeah, you are right. It doesn't make sense.

Sounds like he is getting sidelined. He gets a pie in the sky job where he can do less harm to profits ... And the running of the core advertisement business is left to harder men.

Eu is a work in progress. Its end has been announced many times. With every crisis it changes a bit. Organically through pragmatism and consensus. What we end up with is not a thing of beauty but it holds together and works with the help of

I think soros is an example of an expert in one field speaking out in other fields. Its not the first time.

And then there are people who like reading and learning about coding more than actually coding. We don't get stuff done because it isn't perfect.

Exactly. If the preprocessor respected file scope or better yet namespace scope it would be much much better. The way it works now there is no encapsulation. preprocessor definition in one library header will inadvertently affect code in o

I gotta ask. I don't mean to offend. Keto diet sounds like a good way to lose weight. But does it make ones breath smell?

On the upside. Less companies means fewer platforms and less fragmentation for developers to worry about.

Most all languages have warts. They just look clean and simple when you dont look to closely. This wart though is never seen by users and very rarely by library writers. so it doesn't matter much.

Your second point. That Isis makes much of its money by taxation. Got any source on that? Taxing the local people sounds like a sure way to lose support. As far as I understand Sunni locals support Isis as their militia.

I'm disappointed there isn't a guy moving a small gold coin from one vault to another at the central bank every time I buy something with my debit card. "looks like bob is getting drunk on cheap beer at the local pub again. I

Its seems this epidemic didn't start with heroin supply flooding the streets. But with prescription opioids being so casually handed out to patients. Then when all these people where hooked there became a great demand for heroin. And t

Ketosis sounds nice and all but it makes ones breath stink bad. I think id rather be fat.

Personally I think in the next 30 years we will be programming with thesame languages popular today. They will evolve to handle multicore better though. With tasks, async, couruoutines, actors, etc. Before too long we will have a mix of tho

I think it depends on the language. As a cpp programmer its easy to find a job. You wont find many web or frontend jobs here. Its mostly backend or stand alone applications.

Yes I read those before. I didn't find them convincing. Intrusive lists is an anti pattern that you can also do in cpp if you want. Getting rid of exceptions doesn't mean you get rid of errors. It just means you can more easily ig

I'm a cpp programmer who recently spent a week learning zeromq to replace named pipes in a project. By the end I was disappointed by the cpp language bindings as they only cover the low level library. Had I known from the start I pro

I'm from Finland and the only place I keep hearing about this "plan" is from foreign media. Its just a experimental study. I'd be surprised if anything came out of it. Finland is not some utopia where magical things happ

When I read the Google coding standard I realized I never want to work there. Microsoft on the other hand seems to get cpp. Maybe because herb Sutter has managed to change the culture from the inside. Anyone remember how awful vc6 was back

I guess I don't know how to use githib. You can send bug reports on a project. But how do you send questions or ask for advice?

Yeah, it seems like a "Silicon Valley" thing. The whole thing seems quite mysterious to me. I worked in (4) random cities in the UK. But even in London, I didn't notice a scene. Maybe its also a thing more with web developmen

I cant help but think it quite easy to stay anonymous as a programmer. That its the default. I never really understood what people mean by the "tech scene". Its like you guys meet up or something. I have rarely meet other programm

Probably bad wording by me. Cpp vs c has been benchmarked so extensively that it would be big news if C was quicker than Cpp at anything. Cpp is often faster though because of inlining of templates. Finally c is mostly just a subset of cpp.

I cant be sure about Rust, but C++ should at least be as fast as C for any fair benchmark. About the regex example. https://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u64q/program.php?te... The boost regex library is fast and wi
