  1. Re:Novice programmers overwhelmed on How Experienced And Novice Programmers See Code · · Score: 1

    Most people with little or no experience with debuggers wait for the program to segfault and then ask for the stack trace.

    Then that means they're bad tools.
    Good tools are loosely-coupled, easily combined, scalable, adaptable and programmable.

    An IDE, if that's what you meant, is definitely not a good tool.

    There is no need to store it, it's already in the symbol table.

    If you do want to store it, there is no need to use an external preprocessor anyway.

    You don't sell your ideas, you sell the right to use them.
    If you don't understand this fundamental distinction, you're not going to understand what this is about.

  5. Re:standard compliance? on Qt 5.0 Released · · Score: 1, Informative

    It's still a moc'ery of C++, if that's what you're asking.
    And it still duplicates everything that's in the standard library, including containers, threads, files, etc.

  7. Novice programmers overwhelmed on How Experienced And Novice Programmers See Code · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Novice programmers are simply overwhelmed by vast amounts of code, and have no idea how to do large-scale software development.
    When you teach them about tools that allow you to find your way through the code, they're all impressed.

    Universities simply aren't teaching these boys right.

    State censorship can only happen after a work has been published.
    Otherwise it's just a private publisher refusing to publish it, which is well within its rights.

    You fail to realize that morals are arbitrary and have varied across the times. It is perfectly valid to think in the law of the strongest enslaving the weak, which is what has shaped the world for millenia. It is arguably a more pragmatic system than letting the clueless masses lead society in the make-believe fantasy world of equality.
    I'm not interested in discussing this more with you.

    There is nothing I can do for you if you enjoy your propaganga and censorship and feel more safe because of it.
    Maybe you'd feel even safer if the whole idea of conflict was banned.

    Of course programmers code every day, it's their job.

    Personally, I exclusively use Perl to re-factor C++ code with regular expressions.

    I'm not entirely sure.

    I believe it is called that in the sense that a proxy company (VISA, Mastercard) will pay for you then take that money back from your bank account afterwards.
    The period between the two exchanges is a credit.
    I suppose that a debit card, on the other hand, will secure the funds from your bank account before doing the transfer.

    With credit cards you can sometimes choose to delay payment until the end of the month, though with most banks you have to pay extra for this.
