Was he yelling "don't ruin my product Google, Nest is a great product, don't ruin it!!" Because... they ruined it.

>Manual heap allocation can slow the program down non-trivially compared to using an arena But GC has nothing to do with whether heap allocations 'slow the program down', it's who …

I'm surprised at the negativity your approach seems to have sparked in a few, but I found it really great, probably very effective as well and will probably start to use it at some…

It's like the modern equivalent of: "Apart from [big long list of stuff people never thought much about before] what has the EU ever done for us?!?" The Treaty of Rome indeed.

I'd have to say that when the UK initially joined the EU most people probably didn't notice much of a difference, except that the euro made going on holiday and using the local cur…

"A fish rots from the head down" is the saying. And since neither Jeff nor Joel are the heads at SO anymore I'm not sure of the relevance here. But we can all agree that they made …

Lambdas I would agree with and iterators, but in many other situations, e.g. templated collections it's easy enough to make a descriptive typedef. And... I have seen this in the wi…

So it's like the Dad in American Pie said: "Interested... is interesting!" But Stifler is still the character I remember the most.

I don't have the source right now, but I believe a lot of the algorithms used are set in build time #defines so it might be possible to capture them at build time and store them wi…

Hmm, I wonder if that's what the second mission was to find? I played it on the CBM64, and seem to remember being given a mission to find a stealth ship. Flew around loads, but nev…

Well that is some well documented code, and no mistake. It keeps mentioning a Cougar ship type, but I don't remember them in the game?

>Async IO was in Windows NT 3.1 in 1993 To be fair, Windows tried and abandoned 2 different methods of doing it before landing on the current IO Completion ports.

Also (I'm hoping) the trauma of taking another person's life must be hugely upsetting. I'm hoping it's not something you do lightly, and is not without personal consequences (guilt…

Another way to turn it into a more competitive market is to introduce large competition in the form of not for profit housing co-ops where the coop buys to rent houses, renters hav…

Putting the 'micro' into microservices one bit of logic at-a-time :)

Kinda like Crowdstrike ? (a low blow I know)

Lack of a common language must be a factor in scaling - the amount of effort printing required information in different languages is already an overhead (e..g instructions on medic…

Well, Scotland voted to remain in the EU, but they've had to put up with the rest thinking they "know better than them what is good for them." I'm sure they enjoy it as much as you…

Reminds me of a lot of the initiatives coming out of big companies. The grander the vision, the more vague they are, the more money and time they hoover up as people try to rephras…

Really? I hear people complaining about the death of OpenCL (which Apple championed early on) a lot here, so I don't think that's universally true.
