It's incorrect to call a pointer an integral type. It doesn't behave like an integer (you can't add two pointers together). You can't even subtract two pointers from each other unless they point into the same array (or o

Maybe not the "home page" you asked for, but https://github.com/derailed/k9s gives all the info I need/want for an amazing front end.

That gets a good private plan here. Also that's after a large corporate discount

Agree with parent completely. Also, maybe this is a rationalisation for not moving to SV but our software dev salaries are more than enough to live a very comfortable lifestyle. Sure, we're not going to retire in 5 years and cruise aro

This, and Google in Sydney vs London for the same role certainly does not pay 5-7x. Sydney L5 SWE is around 300-350K AUD total comp. If an L5 SWE in London gets 1.5M I'll eat my hat :)

I'm sure SF is more expensive, not sure about Mountain View, Palo Alto, etc.

In Sydney It's generally fine to arrive at 9 and leave at 5 as long as you produce reasonable output. In SV I noticed almost everyone worked way over 40 hours per week, overtime was the expectation and the norm. I would assume this is

To be fair we have it far easier in Sydney than over in Silicon Valley. For example most (but not all) Sydney Googlers choose to stay in Sydney even though they have the chance to relocate to e.g. Mountain View or Sunnyvale for more than do

I've had this problem for years, outside of the phone factor. For this very reason, as others have said, I keep my phone on so not disturb 24/7 except if my wife calls. However, open offices drive me nuts because of the mere threa

Let's see. 111.4 billion dollars of revenue last quarter. 2 million dollars/(111.4 billion dollars per 0.25 years) ≈ 2.36 minutes of revenue. Yup, that'll show 'em.

> Crystal’s build times are reasonable. Compiling my project Azula takes ~16s with the release flag. Compiling our barebones project above takes ~8s. 8s to compile a hello world is "reasonable"? Am I missing something?

Of course you're going to get an enormous bias in the answers here; how many people wrote out a reply to this question and decided it was best not to submit it?

Because the writer of the function doesn't want to bother to check the null terminator. I'm not saying it's a good function, it just doesn't have an issue as long as the input is a valid string with a correct length. str
