Did not realize I had to do full on research before posting on everything? My point if you had read it would be boot.ini allows multi boot in particular cases. I am not sure on the…

They sorta did then sorta skipped everyone else. The real requirement was that their bootloader was in the first partition. You can install windows to a different drive/folder. It …

My point is that it is terribly inconsistent. There are basically 4 ways now. You can see the scroll bar. The scroll bar is borderline invisible color wise to the background. Fade …

I agree on the vertical space thing. I would add that lack of contrast between controls is very annoying. That 'flat' look is a pain. Can I or can I not click on this? The one that…

Your perspective is not just 'non-us'. The thing is since the early 80s computers can generate huge swaths of data. ML gives you a way to filter that data in a particular way. The …

I know the Verizon one does. It just is not on their pages. The platform they bought from Qualcomm to do it was in that same space as Twilio. Been a few years though they may have …

Building fast applications on most platforms is usually possible. But you must play to those platforms strengths. I used to mess with my fellow devs by making toy vb6 apps that wor…

Oh absolutely. The bubble sort sort thing usually comes down to the architecture of the machine. One of the things the O notation kind of hand waves away. On paper some things are …

Big O gets you in the right ballpark of what to look at. That extra 'C' bit that gets left out can doom it to be worse than other items though. For example for very small sets of n…

This may get me some anger but I always found Scrooge to be a very sympathetic character. He starts off as a hopeful boy who just wants to spend some time at Christmas with his fam…

Also do 1 thing at a time. Do not try to do them all at the same time. That is a fast track to nothing being done. Put them in order highest to lowest pick of an 'easy' win. Make i…

The amount of crazy things people did in win3.x was pretty amazing. MS kind of did it to themselves. Want to know what an HWIN looks like? Right there in the header. No functions t…

Like you say it can be done in a compact way. There are some gotchas with memory though. Like you point out RTTI and exceptions. Another one people forget about is the object overh…

One thing to keep in mind with embedded is size. Some projects you do not get to have std lib. It just does not fit. This is less and less of an issue as time goes on. But a few ye…

My guess the tuition will be similar in price. However, if it were me going to college at this time I would seriously consider skipping a year/semester if they did that. Get a smal…

I would argue that Rust removes a class of bugs. Not because the language is better, but because the compiler just does not allow it. It will not let you build your executable if t…
