  1. Re:How often does debugger speed matter? on New LLVM Debugger Subproject Already Faster Than GDB · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Debugger speed only matters whey you are debugging. Anything that significantly speeds up the edit/compile/debug cycle is very welcome.

  4. Static analysis is part of the basics on Do Static Source Code Analysis Tools Really Work? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You should strive to make your code as clean as possible. Turn on maximum warnings from your compiler, and don't allow code that generates warnings to be checked in to your source repository. Use static analysis tools, and make sure your code passes without issue there as well. These tools will generate many false positives, but if you learn to write in a style that avoids triggering warnings, quality will go up. You may be smarter than Lint, but the next guy that works on the code may not be. Static analysis tools are just another tool in the tool box. Also use dynamic analysis tools like Purify, valgrind, or whatever works in your environment. Writing quality code is hard. You need all the help you can get.

  8. Re:I don't want cell phones on planes. on FCC, FAA Still Don't Want Cell Phones on Planes · · Score: 1

    In-flight wifi, on the other hand, sounds far more promising. I can imagine it being used for some really awesome things, like movie rentals that work directly with your laptop. Or making Skype calls.
