A data is not relational or not-relational. Creating relations is a way to model data. Sometimes it's adequate, sometimes it's not. As for the separation between "static" and "dynamic", again, I'm not sure I follow you. The definition of wh

It changes from country to country. In France changing from SARL (not VC friendly) to SAS (VC friendly) hardly exceeds 10 000 €. For a business angel, you might even stick to SARL which has got some advantages regarding partner's compensati

A CEO isn't a banker. A CEO is here to make sure the business lives long and well, so basically he has to trace new paths. Most of the time, it fails. If Microsoft sat in his little "nest-egg" of basic interpreters there would be no Office

It's difficult to know if your software works if you don't test it.

You're focusing too much on processes and methods. "What" should be your focus, not "how". For example it's paramount to test your software, but whether this is TDD or not is secondary. As for reinventing the wheel, which library are you mi

Maybe Microsoft's requests are legitimate? Maybe the OEM really infringe on patents? Maybe Microsoft provide support for the technology in exchange of money? We have little or no information, let's just not jump to conclusions.

mmap uses the virtual memory manager to map a file into virtual memory as it does for swapping. The memory you have is therefore allocated by the kernel of your operating system and oblivious to any garbage collector you might have.

Why don't they require the peers to provide them with a bank account and then check up with the bank? It would require setting up a false bank account with enough money. That's harder than false ID and stolen credit card. If the above isn't

C++ is an expert's language perfect for solving very difficult problems. Used properly it leads to an extremely elegant, efficient and agile code. Now there's not "one way" of doing things and anybody is doing it "it's own way". There's pro

CentOS is a blast. It is super-light, super-fast, super-stable, with a million years of support, and running a mature and pleasing Gnome 2 desktop. Benchmarks? Facts? Test procedure? At least some basic explanation?

Perhaps I would understand better what you're trying to say if you were to give me an example of a controversial feature.

You have no idea of their business, infrastructure, needs, etc. You shouldn't advise one platform against the other.

Every person uses a different subset of C++, but that subset varies from a group to the other. You cannot therefore "remove features from C++". A lot of people use C++ to code as they would in Java or C#, generally their experience is terri

There's to me, three basic cases: - They are so advanced technologically they can visit us any time they want. We have nothing of interest for them. Any resource we have, they can synthesize it. They may decide to observe us without interfe

Thanks, but we've been struggling with building using the amd64 chaintool from visual studio.

We have it installed, do you have any reference about how to use it from a build process?

I didn't know about the 64-bit toolchain, where can you get it?

I think it's more a caching thing, it's as if Windows isn't rereading the files from disk.

I don't know why Linux is so slow at it, it's when we build the tgz containing all the binaries before uploading it to the distribution server.

NTFS is a slower file system, that's probably the main reason why. Also console I/O is much better on Linux than Windows. Our software builds everyday on FreeBSD, Linux and Windows on servers that are identical. The windows build takes 14 m

I'm not sure it works even if it's moveable because there's no guarantee it will make copy elision everywhere it's needed. One way I was thinking about it was std::vector<std::shared_ptr<std::thread>> Additionally, this suck

How to improve this tutorial: - Use lambdas - Use std::scoped_ptr or std::shared_ptr - Use std::vector instead of C Array - Use references instead of pointers That would prevent unnecessary pitfalls.
