Yikes.. I'm going to have to reread this later to grok it better. I think it's nice that the language has added all these new features (though the macros at the end tell me it's no…

So is this a program that makes it easier for people to change jobs after coming to the US on an H1B? Doesn't sounds like they're gaming anything, but it does sound like something …

The Asus Flip has very similar hardware (same chip) and it runs Arch ARM. http://kmkeen.com/c100p-tweaks/index.html So almost definitely yes...

I'm gunna defend the otherside here. As a recent post on HN pointed out, when Google Maps happened people were outraged that you could look into their yards. Same thing with Street…

To the first point, I think this might be controversial... but try to avoid people you work with directly. It seems like it's better at first glance - b/c you interact with them mo…

I think an OS class isn't meant to prepare you for working on the operating system. The vast majority of people that take an OS class aren't going to work on OSs, but they should a…

If it's only for education purposes, why C? Wouldn't you want to choose a more "clear" language to get the ideas across?

I think this is part of a larger issue of people making programming their lives. Our profession encourages obsessiveness more than most - and making your work your life is somethin…

Sorry I misattributed that. I swore I saw the same style somewhere in his book. I still think it's horrible =) (sorry) I remember one of the other preset themes was a lot better (t…

I don't really like the fetishizing of Tuft's style. If you actually read his books, what he actually does is present a mental model for what to take into account when designing. B…

Just to be clear, [as far as I understand] it is a template library that does static analysis using the compiler. Kinda the best of both worlds...

here is the tool https://github.com/Microsoft/GSL Introduced in this year's cppcon https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/CPP/CppCon-2015/Writing-Goo...

You should watch the cppcon2015 keynotes https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/CPP/CppCon-2015/Writing-Goo... static checking of the core guidelines is the entire reason they are writin…

It's started to lag and be very clunk for me recently (though maybe I just need to close some tabs). It used to be incredibly more responsive than facebook.com

There seem to be so many things wrong with this. How about if the person didn't deliver? Would the project be delayed and reauctioned? Haven't the problems of lowest-bidder quality…

gamification of altruism Has a dirty feeling to it, but I don't see why it can't work =)

I mean, it's only "necessary" because it would be a catalyst for the proletariat revolution. The Russians and the Maoists generalized on the idea and showed that it's more an issue…

but Craigslist's anachronistic static-HTML feel is so charming...

However this eliminates a company's ability to retrain workers. Though maybe a modern company should anticipate high employee mobility

that's kinda a separate issue... that's maybe a problem with the tax system in the US?

Says the man who doesn't work in defense. 95%+ of the work done is thrown away. I'm not talking about cutting edge R&D projects that happened to not work out, but literally work wi…

Or you know.. set aside money for retirement on your own terms? I feel like recent history has shows that pension plans plans are a disaster for companies b/c you're just offsettin…

Am I alone in thinking corporation tax is idiotic? I think corporations are incredibly immoral institutions (due to skewed incentive structures), however - ultimately it's a collec…

Surely if you're that large then you could invest in some in-house domain-specific solution. There are whole programming languages dedicated to doing statistics on datasets.
