Are you coding currently in C++11/14 ? It doesn't feel "bandaid-y" at all.

That sounds very similar to LabView (aka. G)... Have you ever tried programming something complicated in LabView? I'd almost rather write assembly. Professional programming is about managing complexity. It's about putting thousand

That makes sense - though most of the time if a method call only makes sense give a particular state, it's generally set to be protected. You can still call it with the wrong state from within the same class, but I can't honestly

This really seems like something that should be solved by the IDE. In VS13 the R-Click -> Go to Definition interface is OKay... but it definitely could be better

You clearly don't work on a large code base =) Most programming concepts are really about code organization and not expressiveness or the ability to express an algorithm clearly. Object oriented programming only really starts to make s

I might be alone on this, but whenever I read things by John Carmack I get a vague sense that he doesn't really get object oriented programming. He always has a lot of interesting things to say, but it also kinda reads like a C guy try

I can't think of anything from Microsoft Research that has translated into an actual product (other than maybe the Kinect.. though I think a lot of that IP was bought). They do some neat stuff I guess, but it seems like a giant money s

I'd definitely pick C++11 unless you need to use Rust. Rust is inherently memory safe - however in practical terms this isn't important for most applications. If you are writing security critical applications Rust will provide y

This is a false dichotomy that keeps being restated. The air pollution is China is not primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels, but due to poor regulations. If their coal plants and automobiles were modern and up to western standards ,

The numbers around water "used" for beef are a bit disingenuous. It's counting water used to grow the feed - but feed is relatively easy to transport and can be grow in water-rich areas.

Well if you assume the judicial system is corrupt - then the real problem lies in the courts - not necessarily in patents. >The claim that one can own an idea is silly on its face You do realize that the la-la land you want to live in do

I think it's a bit of a false equivalence - but I do agree that , while in office, public servants should have very little privacy. No one is forcing you into the job. If you want to serve the public, be ready for your and your whole f

It seems like they should have waited for the surfboard thing to make it's journey before launching the kickstarter. It would have made the project seem a lot more credible. Like another poster mentioned, I'm sure a lot of drug tr

severance pay is given out for layoffs and not firings. It always seemed like a weird system to me b/c if you're laying people off, you're probably already strapped for cash - so you'd try to find an excuse to fire the p

I talked to some SpaceX people a few months ago and it sounded like the place is a real meat grinder. They are all super pumped about working at SpaceX, just incredibly passionate people who really think they will be on Mars in a few year

I guess it's nice to hear I'm not alone. Well unfortunately you need to fill in the other 4 hours in a way that doesn't leave you feeling inadequate - but you're right, it's something to work on. If I had it my way,

I think it's a bit apples to oranges. Programming is for the most part sitting quietly in front of a computer screen for hours each day. At face value it looks easier, but it's actually a lot more brain-numbing. If I'm honest

Just to contrast your experience, I had a very interesting two month working near Tokyo. The whole time I was there I didn't see any anime, or hikkimori and the whole thing didn't resemble anime at all (though.. granted, I'm

Well this was more or less inevitable... I think people are in some kind of serious denial about the drastic increase in bandwidth being demanded by customers. I don't think Sprint's solution is healthy for the state of the intern

If in 2017 Nissan will have a cheaper, less powerful car with a 200+ range that will also be cheaper than the Model3 - then I think Tesla will be left in the dust. The Model3 is their chance to break out of the luxury market and the Leaf is

I think the fact that Tesla "gave away" all their patents is a sign that this isn't a battle over technology, but a game of marketing, branding, and efficient manufacturing. I seriously doubt Tesla has some secret factory sau

by ranran876 12y ago
Not to be a contrarian, but there isn't really any reason to believe that the Model 3 will be any better than the already-on-the-market Nissan Leaf. Tesla hasn't really invented any new technology here that would be a game changer
