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) { bar(c); } Point being is that the compiler shou

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 inference whereby a compiler (or some other tool in a chain) w

My primary experience stems from working for a Canadian-based company with 200+ developers (located in Canada), 80% of which were Chinese programmers. The CTO of the company was Chinese and he had an obvious preference for hiring graduates

Cultural thing - sure, but keep in mind that professional programmer with 10+ years of experience typically can do more in 9-to-5 than your average college graduate on a 24/7 schedule. He needs to be paid appropriately though, which is some

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