    Yeah some of the issues with error handling are pretty serious. I would say in C++ it could be useful only for simple “nothrow” routines for basic object configuration; this would …

    I pooped and scooped the poop said the Malloy to me be free. Along came the scoop and scoop it went. Free it did. In the bucket it tumbled for the others to enjoy.

    Pretty sure they lie to the judges anyway.

    Hmm. You could also argue that not having understanding of the technology is a good thing. For instance, the judge can remove themselves from the details and look at it on a higher…

    Yeah that’s the difference between a “blank stare” in the interview and a decent response. Anyone applying for a database position should know that relates to transactions and yadd…

    Pretty sure the military recommends their troops use signal for civilian communication when abroad. In addition, I’d wager lots of politicians use it now for obvious reason’s. Ergo…

    #1 is most relevant. China got hit with massive flooding and their rapidly built infrastructure isn’t built to withstand climate changes. As they say, necessity is the mother of in…

    Yeah I agree with the idea of pivoting. I suppose to clarify: * Pivoting would leverage existing technology built in the process of initial concept. Which to me is the equivalent o…

    Spending your time how you want to is never meaningless. Especially if you’re creating value in the world.

    I think the Unix philosophy should apply here. The fact that WhatsApp did one thing well and it had a good business model (was it $1 per year?) is the important bit. When you say, …

    The browser has a search bar at the top of the page; Amazon has a search bar at the top of the page. Ergo it’s actually bad UX design. Thinking desktop UX if that was an “Amazon ap…

    Hard disagree your hard disagree. If you throw a vase in the air it will fall down and shatter: like, duh it’s gravity. But how many years to figure the equations? To tie the how/w…

    There’s the other side of the spectrum as well: what the influencers seek to gain by amplifying criticisms for any odd remark. Just think of the whole anti-vaccine movements and th…

    Hmm come to think of it cigarettes are actually a social network of sorts. At least in the beginning :)

    There’s obviously good things provided by tech (otherwise folks wouldn’t have started using it). A social network is a good thing in theory. The problem is not the technological co…

    Hmm. This feels a bit wrong to me. Double period makes longer pause, and wedged between a quote it doesn’t flow well: .”. Feels like a visual stutter. Either .” or “. are more fina…

    It’s pretty astounding if this isn’t flagged as monopolistic behavior. I’m not opposed to Apple introducing a system keyboard as a clone but the independent developer should not be…

    For the record I didn’t say “a year of forced military training.” What if its a 20 year community involvement?

    “ Most investigations apparently involved veterans, some of whom had unfavorable discharge records.3” Honestly, you’re going to have bad apples no matter what. But what about the r…

    It would equip everyone with better skills. But more important would be the sense of community involvement—most attackers have a disease of the mind brought on by isolation and lac…

    I think the nation should make military training/civil service mandatory. The reality is that random attacks will happen in random places and everyone needs to be equipped to handl…
