Can your code detect this case and at least show a warning? I realize it’s extra LoCs, but sitting here and tapping the damn phone with no feedback is not much fun :)

That's somewhat uncomfortably close to dox'ing.

Hmm, OK. Try a different example - the compiler should allow the following code without any warnings: void foo(int * a) { } void bar(int * b) { foo(b); } void baz(const int * c) { …

With regards to the const part of the discussion - Does anyone knows any research or even a state of affairs of const inference in language design? The idea is similar to type infe…

A louder version with actual slide content would be nice.

You can talk to a patent attorney and obtain a so-called "non-infringement opinion". Patents are frequently rejected at their first iteration as being too broad and then they are "…

I'm not sure who's the intended audience of this. It is called an Introduction to Virtual Memory that is aimed at C programmers. How many C programmers are out there that do not kn…

Woah... "Creativity as an Exact Science". TRIZ needs to be submitted to HN as a separate item. It can make for one interesting discussion.

Or it a misspelled "takenadult" :)

Yeah, the grey listing. The anti-spam technique that works only because it is not widely used, so... shhhh :)

A friend of mine did hamachi.cc from start to the point where it was acquired by another company with 4 million users. That took 1.5 years. He did everything - the UI design, codin…
