Do you know how many FDA approved drugs kill people every year due to adverse reactions? [...] I don't understand your point. You realize that mistakes or corruption happen, whatever system you have in place, it doesn't mean the

If you already use Word, why not use the built-in proof reading feature? I'm not sure the "real time" feature is that useful.

- Compiler internals cleanly exposed This exists in clang! I'm not sure I get this one: - Constancy as an attribute Does it mean read-only variables such as "const" variables in C/C++?

FYI synthetic diamonds are much better than natural diamonds for that, and a lot cheaper too.

This should mention that the purpose of a Merkle Patricia Tree is to permit safe and fast comparison of large blocks of data. A Merkle Patricia Tree isn't faster than a regular Patricia tree because of the added hashing.

It is not advised to use C library functions. The driver should use RtlZeroMemory() and in that case RtlSecureZeroMemory(), but otherwise this optimization makes a lot of sense in many cases when you have for example an useless constructor

If the CEO agrees with the CTO, then the company is dead. It means the CTO is on a mission by the CEO, who was unable to speak directly with his cofounder.

I think consensus through code review is better as compilers and languages evolve. If you write rules for everything you spend your time checking for compliance and perhaps rewriting rules instead of relying on a more organic code quality a

It might sound like a good idea to precisely describe how code should be written, until you realize it's inefficient and useless. Code coherence can be accomplished with more relaxed rules if you delegate more responsibility to your en

I read the Tao Te King by Lao Zi when I was 25 and it was a major epiphany, this passage especially: Although the saint puts himself last, he finds himself in the lead. Although he is not self-concerned, he finds himself accomplished. It i

It's great to see someone with a lot of enthusiasm, but I submit you think too much like a programmer and not enough like a database administrator. What problem does your product solve that, for example, PostgreSQL doesn't?

Accelerated SHA1 has been available for a long time, this was necessary for embedded systems. The NIST is currently modifying SHA3 to make it faster, with some controversy. You are right in the sense we will have to wait for the definitive

Because SHA3 is the standard, we' re going to see hardware implementations of it and a lot of research will go into its software implementation. If you care about performance, stick to the standard. Another commenter also rightly point

I agree with you. Invoicing is pretty sensitive, I need to feel that the service is going to stay for a while and will not back-stab me somehow.

If you're supposed to be the leader and no one comes to you with their problems you're not really the leader any more. A lot of ego and politics in that definition of a leader. What about this: the purpose of a leader is to beco

If B were to come to me to complain about A. I would ask the following: - Did you talk to A about the problem? (generally the answer is no) In whatever case, you set up a meeting. And you LISTEN. What comes out of the meeting depends on the

I hate to do this, but I think you totally misunderstood the point of the STL. The fact that algorithms are separated from containers is a major feature of the STL and one of the major reasons why it is so awesome. By having algorithms sepa
