He did add that clarification afterwards; that was before the first example. I read up to the first example. However, his clarification, and your proviso are also invalid. First, your proviso, that it's non-assignable -- his type was unus

I stopped reading after the first example, which once again (as in the last post in the series) demonstrated that the author doesn't really know what he's talking about. The code would be written as: std::list<person> Not:

I don't see any material difference between "hardware compatibility just works" and "hardware compatibility is perfect". As for fixing the issue, both of my issues were kernel issues, as are most hardware compatibility issues. On OS X reve

I'd agree with a whole lot of what's said here, but also add: One of the big thrusts of the Linux desktop wasn't simply dominance itself, but for it to simply not matter what you were using on the desktop. The Linux desktop fought to pro

Part of the perceived increase (though certainly not all of it) is that the batch sizes are several times larger than before. Whereas before you might have a shooting star or three in a single batch, now you might have a dozen, even if the

You can often find things even more simply if they're just embedded in the binary and you know what format you're looking for. This, for example, goes fishing for MD5 hashes: /Applications> find *.app/Contents/MacOS -maxdepth 1 -per

That obviously ignores inflation. Microsoft's peak of $619 billion in 1999 would be about $851 billion in 2012 dollars [1]. As such the word valuable is out of place there. [1] http://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm

I'd say that goes directly against one of the theses of the article -- that "uncertainty magnifies the stress of waiting". The most excruciating waits that I've had to deal with in the last many years are at the Ausländerbehörde here in G

While I do think there was almost certainly some loose copying that happened (from the little I know of such, not enough to cause trade-dress problems, however), your link is a bad example. That could just as well be The Standard E-Commerc

It's pretty presumptuous to call someone a dick when you know none of the details of the situation. It's entirely possible that he asked the guy if he wanted to name it and he turned it down.

My point was (fairly obviously) an analogy. However, almost all startups have one of two business models: either they sell things to their customers, or they sell advertising space to people who want to sell things to their customers. Bo

And China has more than twice as many internet users as the United States. However, I'm pretty sure the American users spend more money per capita and that it's not an accident that most YC startups target them first.

Except the JOBS Act would only let granny and gramps invest $2000/year in startups. Folks making over $100k/year can invest 10% of that. [1] I'm still not sure it's a good deal for the classical web startup, but it seems like it has reason

There's a provision for raising up to $1 million from "friends and family" (specifically pre-existing contacts only, no solicitation). I presume, though am not certain, however, that personal funds of the executives are exempt from that.
