Oh I am not a libertarian. I just point out that most people in high office are psychopaths with their own pushing ambition and lack of care for anyone who gets in the way of their own agendas.
This applies to men and women, but as the topic concerned a woman abusing her position to push her own agenda, I felt it was unnecessary to mention psycho male execs too.
Most women do like "feminine" jobs, hence the number of women in nursing, childcare and similar.
only the "executive" women are the ones who can't hack real-world jobs. Don't belittle most women by comparing them to these self-appointed attention whores.
The fact is that most women prefer different jobs, more social ones like teaching or nursing. These are valuable jobs that have a disproportionate amount of men in them too,, there's always more calls for men in primary schools for example, but strangely never any outreach programmes for male primary teachers.
So girls don't like working in computing... so what. There are plenty other careers available.
.NET is not dead - there are far too many developers who are unable to code in anything else. They won't give it up easily.
It is the preferred solution... unfortunately.
Try the Windows Web Services alternative (a compatible system designed by the Windows team, significantly faster and less memory intensive).
I also thought the new preferred way to write back-end services was to sue the REST toolkit that came out with VS2013 (ex codename casablanca). WCF is only still around because the
no, they'd be using win32 and C based APIs for system services.... a lot like a certain alternative OS.
but a unit test wouldn't show this up - nobody would write a test, testing that the function worked, and start looking at external impacts of that function.
For this to be caught using testing, you'd need a fairly good coverage integration test. Unit tests are just too focussed on small things. They prove the unit works as expected, they never consider interaction with other parts of the overall system.
why is C++ a problem then? I've not written malloc or new a C style array for years.
I just hope your unnamed other language has no scope for other bugs... its Jva isn't it, lololololol.
I think he should go further than that. Considering the damage caused, I say he should refund triple what he received, as a show of contrition and to serve as an example to other OSS developers.
not of our conscious mind only, but of the semi-conscious awareness
what you're saying is that subliminal advertising is where its at
even Windows programs (ie created with visual studio) can recompile to ARM instructions. I guess he just can't install Windows itself on it.
Moral: don't lock yourself in to anything!
and yet everyone who comments on the XP obsolescence issue always mentions health-care situations where some microscope or other device is hooked up to a controlling workstation running XP..
Though maybe such devices aren't mission critical in the same way as nuclear reactor control software.
and don';t forget that the GC may not fragment like the standard malloc-style heap does, but to achieve this it has to compact the heap regularly. Note that we have generational GCs - because compaction is so expensive, they "split" the GC heap into sections and only compact parts of it.
If you want to waste memory, you can use fixed-block pool allocators that do not suffer fragmentation, so C++ gives you even more of a benefit over GCs.
I agree - all the 'firewalls' are really just iptables configuration guis.
In the day I used to use APF, a text-based configuration tool. It was very easy to use.
Obama "changed his mind" when it became apparent that voters didn't want it - amazing how principles can be changed in a twinkle of a opinion poll.
At least Eich (like a lot of people) thought marriage should be a heterosexual thing and stuck to his principles.
1 + 1 = 3, for large values of 1.
