Dang, there is nothing negative about being critical. The user I responded to clearly has childish ways of motivating himself. Being critical helps him analyze the flaws in how he motivates himself. Hacker news is degrading quickly and you

Lots of figureheads in tech wear suits in marketing materials. Even still, my criticism isn't specifically or especially the suit. That's just a superficial component of the deeper flaw. It's just looks like it's trying

Some feedback: 1. You really need to remove that picture of Eich. It's just bad. We get it, he's a visionary who wears suits. Please don't downvote me, it's legitimate criticism. It's vain and out of touch. A pictur

Also C++ is generally as fast as C. If anything, it's faster thanks to increased opportunities for inlining. Whoever says C++ is slower than C is misinformed and/or overgeneralizing. Professional C++ programmers know this already
