I think it depends a lot on experience and wether the code base is post C++ 11. Modern codebases like clang or chrome do not seem to have any more memory management issues than something like Intellij. Personally I wrote system software in

I am not an STL fan, but allocation should't be a problem anymore with the advent of polymorphic allocators. At least in greenfield projects.

I think the reality is much darker than this: cognitive elites have fewer children than the rest so the average population IQ drops over time (once you fix the low hanging fruits of nutrition/health care of course) . I do not see any s

OK, I concede that the comment might have not been particularly articulate or thoughtful, and I will refrain from similar snark in the future. I do not however think it resulted in a wretched flamewar as the replies were, for the most part,

It depends. Special Forces team typically cut through a lot of that bullshit. Perhaps there in lies the answer. If you want the resources of a large organization and the freedom of a startup you need to look for the smaller elite teams with

As someone who just transitioned from a small startup to a much larger organization I feel the pain of the OP, and I hate it, but I get the feeling that this is typical and maybe unavoidable as organizations scale. Is that not your experien

Cosmos by Carl Sagan, which I read I think in college. It changed the way I look at reality, giving me a much more materialistic perspective on life, meaning that I started to require material evidence as pre-requisite for any kind of certa

Yes! Finally the admissions committee can admit exactly who it wants, without any pesky objective criteria to hamper their social justice ideals!

My attention is constantly under siege and I have trouble sitting down and just reading a book or watching the kids without stopping every few minutes to check my phone.

You might be right about Google and Facebook, but this isn't minor at all. Impact is widespread.

Jesus man. Please, your experience is your experience and does not generalize. Plenty of people love their parents and would gladly sacrifice a little to make the end of their lives better. Your conclusion might be appropriate for your circ

Sorry, I misinterpreted what you originally wrote.

Micro-services are meant to scale the number of developers not the number of users. As the article points out they are meant to address organizational issues and they do - at a significant technical cost.

I have had issues in every car I have ever had, including luxury German and Japanese brands. Over an 8 year period, on a car that broke so much new technical ground and with a level of support that is so absolutely fantastic, I consider the

I have a model S P85+ that is now 8+ years old. Its the best car I have ever had, bar none, and I have had nice cars before. Its still smooth, powerful, comfortable, silent, safe and I still love to drive it. I have had issues with it, over

I have one. Paired with their more advanced stylus (with the eraser) and with the new integration with Dropbox and GDrive it replaces my paper notebooks and most of my physical books. I quite enjoy using it.

To balance your report with something positive, I also had a warranty issue, as there was a bad batch of R2's around August, and they provided me with a replacement with minimum fuss.

Check out Noom. Super nice people, strong ethics and mission and a focus on employee satisfaction. Bonus points: parabolic growth trajectory.

AP is not profitable at all right now. I am not sure what you mean.

I have done C++ for 15 years, its the only choice in the HFT domain I used to work in. There is nothing that can replace it right now because of its performance, the quality of the compilers and the available library eco-system. But that do

Nah, if indeed AP on was more dangerous than AP off then Tesla would just shut it down over the wire.

That is a bold thing to say. Why do you think this is the case?

Have you actually looked at the co-routine stuff? It is another level of awful, even for C++. The committee screwed that up.

by zarkov99 5y ago
It is sad. Once again C++ is foisted with an overly complex and ugly standard that will make programmers unhappy for decades and likely cost billions in lost productivity. The proposal got pushback from a number of expert sources as well as

What a joke. The only difference between FB and Twitter is that all these virtuous jornos are on Twitter day and night, signaling to each other. FB is being singled out for destruction because it has not yet caved in to the party line and s

Broke people everywhere have no use for the distinction between millionaire and billionaire. They are one and the same for those of us that cannot pay their credit card debt. As you say, its patently obvious that the people actually doing t

You are not wrong. The only thing I would add to that is the wealthy invariably means simply "much richer than me". In particular it is obscene to see that the people who most hate billionaires and agitate for their punishment are
