The idea that borland didn't know about the performance of loading a segment register is ridiculous. It's in the intel manual. Everybody I knew who cared about the performance of software had that manual handy. Then eventually the compiler just took care of it for you and we all stopped caring.
So I haven't used any of TFS/Subversion/Clearcase/CVS in the last 10 years. Do they really not offer a branch structure that would allow you to do all of that without the need for distributed functionality? Sourcesafe and perforce both do.
The companies that need this are limited. And in some ways it's a bad sign. Makes it easier to ship your job to India.
Do you use a bug database where users can report bugs directly?
Assuming you do some sort of post processing to control flooding attacks, and do quality control, etc, this is ok.
Do you have a testing protocol, and specific resources for testing?
Are there seriously software companies with more than 5 coders with no qa? You have to know what you're getting into with a group too small to have discovered the need for qa.
Do you fix bugs before implementing new features?
This isn't always the right thing to do. It's sometimes a good practice because you can tackle bugs while you're fresh on a topic, but it can likewise be a focus distraction. As with another item below, this seems to be a demand to dump agile.
Do you have automated build or deployment procedures?
Well, I won't argue with this one. Removing meaningless grunt work is generally a good idea where possible.
Do you have a roadmap, and you don't make important changes to the short term priorities?
So you're ruling out working anywhere doing agile? Agile works great, and makes changes to short term priorities all the time.
Do your team work in good conditions (quiet environment, flexible schedule, freedom to choose development software, fair paycheck...)
Our environment is loud loud loud and generally that is considered one of our best features. We supply ear phones if you need quiet time for concentration. We will let you pick your editor, etc, and the pay is fine, those seem like reasonable requests.
As I replied to others: go hit google scholar for hfcs. This is one study among many, many studies showing problems with hfcs. If you want to live in denial, fine, just know you're on the side of the people who thought they shouldn't stop smoking in the 60's because the nicotine studies weren't perfect.
Is it possible hfcs is perfectly safe? Yes. Is it likely? No. About as likely as smoking being perfectly safe.
But that won't happen. Instead, we'll wind up with foods closer to what is produced in European countries where people eating otherwise similar diets to ours aren't suffering similar levels of obesity.
The problem is that their diets suck because of HFCS. The stuff that remains to be eaten once you've eliminated HFCS is much, much better for you, and much lower in metrics like calorie count and calorie count per volume.
The above is just one of many studies showing problems with HFCS. Sure, maybe they're all wrong, just like all the smoking to cancer link studies turned out to be wrong.
I assumed the point was that the hash version should basically be the same four lines of code. Replace the array with a hash (set) at the instantiation and none of the rest of the code should have to change.
The parent is suggesting that fighting trillion dollar wars is a subsidy that is not but should be factored into the subsidy balance. Consider how 214B in oil subsidies compares to 37b in corn subsidies when you add in the wars.
Most people who post suggestions like this that want to look at diet don't want to look at how difficult it is for most americans to get quality food. Mostly urbanites who have no idea how horrible the food choices are available to lower income americans.
Well, even reprocessing typical fuel reprocessing plants (the kind that don't produce much waste) produce around 100,000 pounds of waste per year. The low end of the cost to get into geosynchronous orbit (highest orbit for which reliable estimates are available, we'd actually want a higher cost launch to make the waste LEAVE orbit) is about $5000/lb. So the cost would be $500 million per year, roughly, for the nuke plants that produce very little waste.
You have it backward, it's a 100% technical reason that they can't make a working game. If they aren't skilled enough to make their game work in spite of microsofts purely technological embargo, that's their loss.

It all depends on the selection of words. I can type 250 of the word 'a' in a minute, easy.
Speed (rather than haste) can also make lots of tests verifying the correctness of a much smaller amount of production code.
Not only easier to type as 15 loops, but then more factorable and testable that way as well.
Both, with shield bash, obviously.
idea will do that for you.

Newer software is adding functionality faster than the algorithmic advances are making it faster.

If you have a supposition about why the human studies will turn out differently, that would be interesting to hear.

They can qualify for at least 3 of the exemptions. Sorry, I assumed that was obvious.
Most people who have switched to using cell tethering and given up on dsl/cablemodem get locked into 2 year contracts.
Piffle. I've been spreading the good word of NN for 15 years! What did you waste your lost decade on?
The problem with warezers is that their belief systems shift to change their desires.
Isn't that much better than most people, like Christians, whose belief systems don't shift even in the face of overwhelming counter-evidence?
It is if you wear the hat, the eye patch, and carry a parrot while you do it.
Where you said 'killing' I suspect you meant 'murder'. Because there are certainly many cases where killing should not be punished.
