I'm under the impression that only EU slaps antitrust charges lately.

Ahhhh I see. Nortel had that coding guideline actually. Just in their case, the first argument followed the parenthesis. The second argument (and the rest) followed the first argument column.

Maybe pass them in a struct?

I agree. But you have to keep pushing you know. I had a 9 months hole early in my career (personal reasons). I started coding a game from scratch. I never finished it, but learned a ton and it's actually a great talking point in interv

It sort of build up to this. Each job more complicated than the previous one. Then again, I actually really love what I'm doing. So that helps.

You'll never finish learning. That's the best part of what being a human is. Embrace it.

We do awesome (36 here). 1. Because I've had many interviews where people ask one of perhaps 200 questions over and over (reverse a double linked list, serialize a tree). 2. I do complicated stuff, daily . Multithreaded communications

As far as I remember the story from many years ago: FDA panel found the link, they recommended stopping the chemical. The head of FDA pocketed the research/recommendation in his desk until "further". It was half a billion dol

Easier to backdoor. Otherwise one would just deny the request for lack of access.

Well that's the point. The society is trained to think that if something can be automated, the people laid off can starve. Most of people discussing ethics in this example, are oblivious to this filter through which they are viewing re

This worked for me: DND on for priority only, forever. Star my wife. Then I can check my phone at my leisure time for everything else.

This round is going to be fun. See, I'm old enough to remember this battle starting for music and movies. We know how that ended. But now, it's for the very knowledge that drives our civilization. "Stallman was right", o

Now imagine Randy continuing with his behaviour and you having that chat with him once every x months. After few of these, what would you tell Randy? Imagine Randy worked for you, or under you on a project. I've been on teams where peo

Would you hire somebody for c# coding if they have spent a year in school five years ago getting VB.net certification? How about if they just had a job in Vb.net form a year and then worked other languages for five years. I guess it's

That's wrong. The heart grows proportionally with effort ( hence why pro athletes have troubles later in life.

Interesting. How much time after wakeup should the breakfast be? I'm usually 1-2 hours after, and I find that I tend to wake up later and later.

Yes, it takes one to go through that experience once, to fully appreciate the effort. I also look at that one downvote to my post, and can't help but think that somebody is up for a very nasty surprise in his career.

No, FB forever locks one into a tiny little echo chamber, so one never learn anything else besides what one clicked on and what they can sell. But am I to judge. There are encyclopedias and yellow press, and happiness is very subjective.

I started seeing the floating dependency approach at smaller places and personally consider it a bad pattern. You get everything you depend on, stuff it into a folder named third-party, and check it in forever (or until security bugs, featu

So, what do you propose then? To measure the "wellness" of a country's population, they took stuff as health, education, etc. What would you choose?

Maybe if you compare it to existing AWS pricing. Otherwise, these are not low prices.

Actually considering it for the next build. 16 amd core CPU. Probably 4 machines to crunch on something in the next few years. These are awesome times we live in.

All of them? Nothing Intel made so far can compete with the efficiency.

And by the look of it, when the server and hedt CPUs hit the market, they'll discontinue a lot more. They got cozy with the monopoly, seems the bills arrived.

Of course. It's money. Or does anybody thinks that $40 per IPO on user just happens? It's real money to state you advertise to targeted audience by names, jobs and all that. It will never change because FB likes money more than it
