For those who don't know, Fallout 2 is probably one of the best RPG for the computer ever . With the proper mods and fixes it's really playable and enjoyable on a recent computer (I really recommend the hi-res patch http:/&

Don't worry, the language doesn't sit idle. C++ 11 and C++ 14 are significant improvements, almost a new language.

I have a feeling, tell me if you share it. "Wouldn't it be cool to have a multipurpose database which we would be able to query with a language, but not SQL, because SQL sucks, for some reason.". Put it differently, what does

I would even drop the "C++11" reference and just keep refering to it as C++. Maybe just mention in the forewords that you need a C++11/14 compiler.

I would have gone with the C++11/14 syntax right away. C++03 is here to die out, and if you start with C++ there's no reason to learn the old syntax. e.g. auto keyword, {} initializers, foreach(), lambdas, etc.

I work a lot from home and what I can say is: - you're definitely more productive when working from home and it saves a lot of time - communication is much harder - traveling and working is difficult and I would not recommend it - work

State owned banks make it too easy for politicians to pass laws that will enable them to do whatever they want to do. Granted, private banks have the possibility to corrupt politicians to the same effect.

70 k/year doesn't make a difference and it's not a good thing to have founders struggling with money. If your brain is too focused on the trivialities of life you can't invest yourself 100% in the company.
