Ok, I'll bite. What is wrong with bstring and what do you think is a better replacement? I tried to look up criticism on Google about bstrlib and found nothing. I've used bstring in several applications without problem. I have sta

Well done.. I'm curious about whether this would be possible in Android. I'm not talking about OpenGL and using the ndk but creating Android activities. Would it be much much more difficult?

My best guess is that a statistician is a focus more on mathematics/pure statistics while data scientist is involved in more algorithms.. but the lines are blurred and I don't know what we would call people like Nate Silver. Accor

Well, yes and no. Yes it does link to msvcrt.dll but it also brings in its own runtime too statically (mingwrt). Standard mingw links libgcc dynamically but you can use TDM gcc if you want to link it statically. I can't think of a bad

That's probably because you wrote C++ and are usimg C++ streams. Try just using printf. The binary, after stripping, will be much smaller (I think less than 20k). You can use DependencyWalker to check what DLLs you are linking to.

Worked or did you mean it works? If you meant worked can you further expand on why it no longer works well today?

GTK is often used as the example of what not to do when designing interfaces. A better pure C example would be Wine's implementation of the Win32 API (specifically take a look at user32.dll). Or the Tk toolkit.

I assume you are talking about MorningStar or Boca products. They aren't that bad are they? I eat a lot of red meat. Probably for both lunch and sometimes dinner almost every single day. It's gotten to a point to where cooking a m

Are there any blogs where an android tablet was used to do actual java development?

Well, yes you are correct. However if you need the fastest sorting you're probably gonna inline the comparison regardless of language. If qsort is slow due to the function pointer comparison just move it inline manually.

I think there was a story recently about how Netflix encodes each video multiple times for the various boxes and television sets. If they had their own box they could be more in control of at least one of those encoding formats.

I can't downvote but I'm using C/C++ in 2013 instead of Go simply because Go is not portable enough. There is currently no PowerPC port and that is still a requirement for me.

Can you help me understand why someone would host static content on S3 versus any other host? Is it because S3 automatically scales up when traffic increases? I know almost nothing about S3.

Wait.. we have a senior source control manager and we are using TFS. Sometimes clicking through the gui based wizards to merge two branches is to difficult for C# devs these days. His expertise in right clicking is truly remarkable. I fear

Same here. This site and Steve Yegge's site fail to load in the stock cyanogen browser. Also they fail with Opera Mini. They do work with the Firefox Android browser at least.

What do you recommend over libxml? And by libxml did you really mean libxml2? I prefer to work with a DOM parser and I don't know of anything better.

What's really really interesting to me is that they've removed the ribbon from the menu system. I'm happy about this, but I know a lot of people loved the ribbon UI. Or at least it appears that way from the screenshots in your link.

I'm not sure they want those to disappear. Some of Microsoft's own products are written using Win32, like Office, and Internet Explorer. I think this is more about providing a C++ compiler for developers that are unable to spend the $499 on

So, is Express for Desktop the only wait to get a free C++ compiler from Microsoft now? Last I read, they removed the C++ compiler and C runtime from the Windows SDK. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/hh852363.as... As long
