Is that C++? Just use a reference if you want a pointer which asserts it can't be null.

There is somewhat of a requirement with the preprocessor - if you redefine a keyword and then include a standard library header it's considered undefined behavior. Maybe that's what the author meant.

What's next, redesigning half of the English language because it contains so many words derived from Latin? It doesn't matter where icons, words, or any identifier comes from so long as everyone understands it. If you're creating a new icon

In my experience the Hacker News icon is one that gets confused with icons on my tab bar. Colored squares are only easily recognizable if they have a unique color, which obviously won't happen with the billions of sites out there. Try openi

Do any languages matter? Is it irrelevant that language X does not have a compiler when language Y does? The answer is that languages are hugely important. C++11 is an entirely huge language and having a standards and feature compliant co

Please, be explicit when you say the word "design". It's not a single skill; it's an all encompassing term that means nothing more than the step before creation. Anyway, good for you and nice slides!

This article sounds like something a non-programmer would write for a research project. There's lots of little mistakes throughout, such as imprecise definitions for compiled/interpreted/VMs and calling DevC++ a compiler, but beginners woul

Low level is different from high performance. C++ is much higher level than C yet still retains its performance.

I actually haven't been following modules at all so I couldn't tell you exactly what's the problem. Watching from 30:40 of the following video may be insightful though: http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/GoingNative/GoingNative-2012...

Everyone wants modules but nobody can agree on how they should behave. This is why they weren't included in C(++)11.

Without getting into the touchy subject of rape and who's right or wrong, I just wanted to say I feel Tso's posting was much compelling than Aurora's. Tso went with a very unemotional approach, analyzing statistics and attempting to piece t

This is really just an article on handling different size monitors rather than actual graphic design and layout. The funny thing is that author's website and twitter get cutoff horribly on my monitor (1024*768 which about 20% of web users u

If you don't care about the small footprint then go with Gambit/Bigloo as they play nicely with C too.

Application software is such a vague and undescriptive word that it's better to just use the terms "program" and "software" as they're impossible to misuse or argue about. Wikipedia uses the term "utility" to refer to programs like mount, a

The pages of the pdf are too wide to fit comfortably on my screen. Any way I could fix it (like modify the LaTeX) besides buying a bigger monitor?

Actually this seems to be from Guild Wars which was from 2005. IIRC when he talked about Starcraft developement the team just used pointer structs with no abstractions.

The reason this guy thinks std::list is buggy is because he's using it incorrectly. There's not reason to write removal functions like delete_person when they already exist with list::remove, list::erase, find, search, etc. There's no reaso
