I bet I could not only teach you a thing or two but run circles around you as well.
I'll take that bet. In order to run circles around me, you'd have to be able to run faster than me. How much do you want to wager? I'll put down $200. How do you want to proceed?
The only people I've known to make this comment, and I've been hearing it for 20 years, are those who are skinny.
Wow, that's odd. Maybe you should listen to them, then? Some of them, after all, are bound to be formerly-fat. Who are you going to listen to for advice on not how to be a fat-ass: a bunch of waifs, or a bunch of fatties? Take your pick.
Maybe it's just that some people naturally have more willpower than others? Maybe some people genetically have more motivation than others? Maybe some people are bred to work hard and achieve goals? It's genetics I tell you, which is why the obesity rate in the USA increasing, obviously. Our genes are getting fat.
I'm not as old as you (upper 30s), but I come from a family where everyone has a "weight problem", there is late-onset diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. I've been 40lbs overweight before. It's clear to me as anything in this life is that for the vast majority of people, being fat is a choice. Just like being stupid is a choice, or having a shitty job is a choice, or working hard is a choice, or saving money, or doing drugs, or blah blah blah.
Sure, there are mitigating factors, medical conditions, people need help, people need support, etc.
Here's my support for you: Working out 3 days a week is not enough. Ride your bike to work every day of the year. Every day. Too far? Move or change jobs. Reduce stress. Do you want to be healthy or dead? Run / bike at lunch before you eat at least 3 days a week. Train for a marathon, triathlon or century. Get off your fat ass and walk around at work for 5 minutes at least once an hour. When you get home, don't plant your 12% fat in front of the TV. Eat some vegetables for Christ-Sake. Stop drinking so much alcohol. Quit making excuses, you sound pathetic.
Repeat to yourself 10,000 times: "the point of science fiction is not to predict the future". After the 6343rd iteration, call up Gibson and tell him to join you (you need to do a few thousand reps first so that he doesn't think it's impossible).
1. The function header comment was ok.
2. Where does 5381 come from? Where does the algorithm come from? A comment on a hasher usually looks something like: "see Knuth..."
3. I doubt if this hasher is that great, but it may do well for the domain in which you use it; a comment is warranted.
4. Non trivial code benefits from comments that describe the purpose, flow, intent, larger logic, preconditions, etc.
5. Comments that echo the purpose of basic syntax elements are a good sign that you shouldn't quit your day job.
I'm confused - is the code you labeled good supposed to be an example of good commenting? Those are some of the most worthless comments I've ever read.
Who asked you to be concerned with my "fragile sensibilities", whatever the fuck that means? You keep on keeping it real, though. All your truth is making me tear up.
If that were the case, then Armitage would be in jail for outing a covert agent.
Well, you assume the justice system runs in a logical manner, and I don't know where you could possibly get that idea. That said, the whole affair smacks of a circus, and it's definitely a politically motivated circus. If armitage is guilty, let him burn.
BTW, I read you original post. Many people on this site will read all posts no matter what the moderation. So quit your snivelling. The moderation is just more of the "open discussion, open mindedness or the free flow of new ideas", after all. Nothing really gets deleted (well, rarely). Some people choose to put the group-consensus filter on high. Some people choose to put the funny-filter on high. Some people choose to filter out ACs. What the setting to filter out people who whinge incessantly about the unfairness of moderation? No one worth having a conversation with puts much stock in the moderation, anyhow. People that go on and on about the conspiracy of the moderators or the group-think (evidence to the contrary be damned) or whatever just sound like whiney little snits. Truly.
According to testimony in the trial, she was covert. I'm no expert though, that's just what I read on some conspiracy blog. Why is it so hard to figure out if she was covert or not? Is it because some people can't grasp the concept that someone could be covert on Tuesday and then transition to an open job on Wednesday?
You don't even need a mechanical mirror mover - you can direct and refocus light very quickly using solid state tricks with LCDs that modify their refractive index locally.
It depends on the laser, and especially the resonance cavity and the reflective ends of that cavity. But in general I think no.
The typical qualities of a laser, kind of a "definition" if you will are: monochromatic, coherence, directionality and power/brightness. Different lasers will vary even in their degree of fidelity to this list.
C++ is a strict superset of C. A C++ compiler will accept any valid C program as input. (Or least this was the case 10+ years ago, which was the last time I wrote any C++ code)
You could have stopped writing after this (your experience being 10 years old). C++ is not a stict superset, but its pretty close such that it the missing overlap is not really a big deal in real programs (well, until C99, which adds a couple more things).
Furthermore, any C++ code can be algorithmically decomposed into C.
You can probably say the same thing about any language, they are still different.
I've maintained a lot of "C++" code where the only thing that distinguished it from straight C was the use of cout and//, and even more "OO" code that had classes which did nothing more than wrap a C function or two. In my experience, there are a lot more programs like this in the real world than there are "proper" object-oriented C++ programs. YMMV.
Well,// is in C99, so that codw was even closer to C than you let on. My mileage varies, of course, real C++ code tends to use more features than that.
D is similar to C and C++, and Java shares heritage and features with C++, and C#, again, is similar to C++ with some modest differences. Are all of these the same language?
If you object to the C/C++ notation (which is pretty widely used throughout the industry, it's not something I just pulled out of my ass one day), you can mentally transform it into
Well, I think that the C/C++ notation is unfortunate, but a sad fact of life. When it is used in a context where it could imply two (albeit related languages), I tolerate it. But not when the implication it that they are the same language.
I've reviewed your design for the influence function:
bool influence(const char *person);
This design is not going to satisfactorily account for the requirements of calculating influence in the system. Please return to the drawing board and come up with a more apt design.
Except in my job, I'm not working for the government. And I don't have all kinds of extra-legals powers. And I'm not liable to use
those non-existent state-issues powers to maim or kill. Essentially, there's really no issue of accountability with me an my job wrt coercion, power, and violence. But, hey, yeah, good point.

Well that's good. If you won't listen to you, who will?
I'll take that bet. In order to run circles around me, you'd have to be able to run faster than me. How much do you want to wager? I'll put down $200. How do you want to proceed?
Not true.
you're a prick to boot.
True

That's prophecy? LOL.

Doesn't seem like a reasonable ability to read or google was demonstrated.

Probably a big dump. Why can't people shit at home? They were just there half an hour ago.
wow
yes?
uh-huh
indeed
go on
interesting
Your place of employment sounds like a joy to work in, and you, in particular, sound like a real fun guy to work on projects with.
"A similar issue occurs with C++ when implementing methods inline in the class definition"
// ...
You should put the inline function definition at the end of file, out of the class definition, imo.
struct foo
{
inline int bar() const;
};
// begin inline impl
int bar::foo() const
{
}

Seriously, have you not seen how C programmers approach object based programming with function naming?
Btw, I like the 80 limit, and have found it to be workable for both C and C++ professionally.
There, I fixed that for you.

Bandwidth. You'd think a site full of geeks would be able to figure that out.
No such beast.
Mostly, the cops would be sleeping on the job, the sound of which, of course, compresses very well.
