I agree that not every programmer needs to know the contents of this giant paper. It be useful for any programmer wanting to learn more about how memory and allocations affect performance and correctness. Since there are so few things that

This is a 114 page paper that describes the extreme details of squeezing every ounce of performance out of memory. While I agree every programmer does not need to know, calling it vacuous without reading is deeply insulting to such a useful

If the OP really wants to learn then a close to ideal way is build the files in a command line and use a plain old text editor such as Gedit or Notepad++. If he start with either you or my professional choice in IDEs he will have a ton of n

I am curious about the downvotes. Do we really downvote people here for questioning trusting Google? I didn't even say not to trust google, I just questioned the level of trust.

I agree that the web is extremely powerful. I also think this power is symmetric in who it enables. Unlike land ownership or TV broadcasting entry isn't expensive and the needed tools can easily be smuggled. Anyone can easily gain imme

I figured that by providing examples of where C++ was required that cases near those were it is used but not required would be evident. In pretty much every type of application domain there are a large number of C++ applications. It is used

I use GMail for similar reasons, they are reputable, but I have no expectation they won't share my data once it makes financial sense.

> data isn't shared with anyone else without my consent Do you have any way of verifying this? I am not accusing google of anything, I just find this to be an interesting level of trust to have with a free online service.

I am curious what it would take to make a law prohibiting the sale of software without source code and build scripts. Some would fight it tooth and nail, but it would be better for society. It would be end the idea of selling prepackaged so

I didn't downvote you but I suspect you got downvoted because DevC++ is super stale. Their last release was pre-C++11 and likely more than a decade ago.

I have never had visual studio "work right" it always tried to compile my stuff as C++/CLI, force linking against libraries that weren't needed or just didn't have the core language features I needed. Is there a sim

I would disagree that C++ is only useful "near the hardware" I have spent the bulk of my career not near the hardware and have found C++ to be the most useful of languages I have learned. My current job is as close to the hardware

Proof will likely never come and those news outlet sources are the intelligence experts saying so. All the intelligence experts say they cannot prove it, all except one group believed it was Russia. Comey was particularly vocal about it. Th

What did you learn from those mistakes? Did you learn how to not make them again or possibly even something else beneficial? I think you might have missed the point of the article. Excellence is not in avoiding mistakes, Excellence is learn

You should just replace it and define a nullptr macro for older compiles.

Debatably, this exists. With GCC or Clang there are several command line flags that can help. If you use the flag -Werror all warnings will be errors. Then add -Wall which enables all unambiguously good warnings, which will stop a whole lot

I could be convinced to be more neutral by as little as a reasonable argument that they have a plan. I have not yet seen this plan. I have seen both pro and anti uber zealots though.

The reasoning in the article seemed strong to me: Street level transport is a commodity and the market is mature. There is a maximum amount of value to extract from this business and the current companies almost do that. Uber spent way more

I am not convinced Kamaal was arguing against self driving cars. He might have been arguing that they could be simpler and more achievable. It could be just fine as long as when the software panics it does something sane like slow to a cont

Do submarines swim? Doesn't matter, only the results matter. Planes work and work well, they crush birds in every performance metric and sometimes literally. Can a self driving car be made safe without lidar? I suspect so, but I am not

Our eyes also come with our brains packed full of fancy algorithms to extract value from minimal information. I am not sure what software does with noise from a lidar sensor but I have seen data from other noisy sensors and they are often u

Any specific instance is very difficult to prove, but corporate espionage is so easy to hide it would be foolish not to accept that it is happening at background level.

I think Threadripper will have 2 chips per unit instead of 4 like Epyc. That should make them smaller and cheaper. If so it would mean that making motherboards would be simpler so those would be cheaper too. I think AMD also stated there wi

Amazon is a logistics company. They aren't (just) a store, they aren't (just) a web host. They have positioned themselves where they do a lot of unglamorous stuff that makes business work. The are a meta store, anyone can set up a
