If you know C++ or are Near Omaha, can pass a background check. I know some people that are hiring.

Money likely isn't the main goal (maybe it is for the lawyers), these are open source repos. Maybe they didn't consent to have their code used as training and that seems like the kind of thing consent should be needed for. Maybe t

How is that not the case for any language that lets experts get at the gory details what is the alternative? Even in languages like Ruby this problem exists. Superficially, Ruby has a decent garbage collector and you never need to dereferen

Says "open source" here and on the kickstarter page, where is the source code? EDIT - Seems shady, limited high price rewards no source code, lots of specs, in PCB design, but limited information team. Could be legit, but I am se

I am not going to call the problem solved, but there are other options too. C++ has libraries threadsafe shared pointers, interthread message passing, transactional memory, futures/promises, work stealing queues, and access to all the

Yeah, there probably should have been more efforts to get something online early. But consider that the Bjarne, the original creator of the language, has published several books, that is where a lot of the guidance is from. Some of the book

Most American voting machines print a ballot an let the voter review it, but not all. There have been some jurisdictions that have given up on that for reasons that seem bad and vague to me. I think mandating that voting machines be open so

The code is quite secure, but the process and company are... typical processes and company people. Paper ballots and physical boxes are more secure if good practices are followed. At one point I was tasked with shuffling the data layout on

C++ dev here, not a rust dev. It is my understanding that Rust macros have some understanding of the syntax/parse tree, making them much safer than text replacement like c++ macros. A better comparison to Rust macros might be constexpr

Do guidelines that claim to be complete and perfect actually reach that level? They preface this to cut off arguments were someone tries to slavishly follow rules even when inappropriate, something that is all too common in our industry. It

It doesn't need to be about OOP and hiding details, this seems like basic type safety. Both of these are member functions and are hiding details already, so OOP is an aside, you would need invest effort reading on both or neither if th

When was that? I am so glad that for the past 5~6 years every contract I have worked has had unit tests and for the past 10~12 every place has at least accepted their value. The last time I actually had to argue for unit tests was in defens

I have written maybe one binary search that went into production code in 20 years of software development work. It is absolutely an under the hood concept. But knowing how it works so that I can leverage the concept efficiently is super imp

Last time I needed to write `delete` I was either fixing some low level garbage code that was super old or writing a smart pointer for a case not handled by the standard library. Either way it was so long ago that I really can't rememb

C++ has fantastic docs, books, videos, so much. You shouldn't need to read the std library code, and shouldn't read it to know what is safe to do. There are many implementations and they differ in details but all have really good

Learning the language fundamentals robustly is the hard part, and everyone has incomplete knowledge. The C++ standard library is easy to learn for someone in your position. If you want to, start with something like iterator pairs and few tr

This is getting better. Businesses that force a specific compiler for reasons other than technical merit are being punished in the market. I am currently at a not super advanced C++ shop that has to write for several compilers on locked pla

My post had the formatting screwed up, but you didn't even try to show your work. You are just presuming what you think or want to be true without putting even the theoretical work into it.

Can you provide links? You clearly feel we have never seen a "real" sheet, perhaps more hand holding is order. I would appreciate the experience and would not do it without the link.

I have seen plenty of cars not make to 165_000 miles, those that do are often near the end of their life. Mine is beat and barely holding together and it is at 97_000 miles.

Well sorry, for that. Get a piece of paper and try it. The drake equation isn't too hard. It is just a bunch of probabilities multiplied by an amount of stars. You can even add your own terms if you don't like the one you have, bu

There is often a great deal of copy elision when passing things by value when the compiler can prove it the copying itself won't cause side effects.
