God your an idiot. Your government, right or wrong, eh? If they are doing something wrong, its your duty to say something, as we are. Not simply drink your kool-aid and pretend nothing is wrong. Your rebuttal to what they do with our money (by wasting it) by saying "we voted them in" is disingenuous to an extreme. Why do you not see that?
So when you dictate your local reps next move, (as obviously you keep them on a tight leash and know in advance every act they are about to commit), remind them that YOU'RE the boss, ok?
1) Return codes used in a appropriate way, please. Not saying they Are Not useful at all, but should be used sparingly.
2) I don't do Microsoft, so I'm not going to defend what they do.
3) I've found dealing with exceptions to be easier. WHAT classes do in a "complicated" way? That's like saying ALL cars implement the transmission in a "strange and mysterious" way. I've not found that to be the case. If you're stuck in a procedural mindset then you're probably going to find exceptions strange and mysterious. Too bad.
4) So, you've found me. Tag, you're it.
You need to tell Sacramento that. The waste and over-spending are out of control. Parent's comments justified in my opinion. It would be fine if they didn't simply piss our tax money away. But they demand more?? Come on, your a fool. If I wasn't compelled to comment I'd mod parent up and you down.
You don't really want a return value in a constructor, do you? I mean, you can do it, but do you really want to? I take issue with your premise that exceptions make the code slower. Well written exceptions don't add that much to the overhead, and they are the Right Thing To Do with regard to OOP. Return codes are NOT OOP, a throwback to procedural programming. If you stick to OOP principals you don't need to have anything to do with them. Use exceptions and state objects.
Sometimes you need to take a photo, and have a copy in your hand, NOW.
I get that, I really do- but that idea has one simple flaw; you have ONE (1) copy. You give it to some one, NOW, and your aced out the one copy. Not really much different from simply passing around a digital and looking at the preview. Plus the camera has the added benefit of allowing the user to pan around the photo and blow up sections.
And you can always scan the photo if you must send it digitally as well.
I personally don't see that as being any more convenient than emailing or publishing the photo directly from my phone/camera.
The Linux Kernel is mostly C, with a little ML on critical parts. I think some modules are written in C++ though, and if you want to do this I think the kernel is not a bad choice and recommenced starting with a simple text driver, you can find examples for this around the net. Start with a simple module written in C, learn how to build it correctly and fit it into the kernel, then adapt it to C++, then publish the source on some web site. Presto- you've just given back. Then tackle a real task, maybe a usb driver to some fob or doohickey. Move on from there to... i dunno, contributing to some oss robotics thingy.
This is probably a good idea except for the fact that the USPO is desperately out of cash; there was a report out just yesterday about how they are not able to fund their retirement accounts, and will probably go to 4 day a week service soon. The entire USPO system is going to get re-org'd some time in the not too distant future, and adding a new burden to their portfolio is probably not going to fly any time soon.
Took the words right out of my mouth. I was about to whip out my list of democratic criminals but, why go through the trouble. Illegal shenanigans on both sides are easy to find. So are the toady weasels that support them, unfortunately.
No no no, he's right, at least in my opinion. The only people who will help you for free with your return is the IRS themselves. Yeah, they take it, but they do their utmost to help you give it to them too.
I agree. Fast food managers (generally, if they are competent) stay on the look out for poor customer service in their employees. The TSA, and all government agencies, could give a fig for giving their customers good service. They don't have to, and there's no incentive to do it. The only gov. agency that even pays lip service to quality customer care is the IRS.

Damn government, wasting our money, is an old refrain.
Unfortunately, still true. You don't have to search very hard to find stories on it.
I love elitist idiots.
Pretty damned informative post, mod that sucka up.
My post had nothing to do with arrogance, YOU introduce that topic. Keep your arrogance to yourself.
That's what I'm talkin' about...

Trying to turn a rather reasonable post into some kind of battle? You sound like you need help to me.
Your coming off as though the government can do no wrong. You sound really stupid there.
Your making an assumption. Your an amateur idiot. I'm not playing anymore.

Again, I really wish you'd direct your ire to the ones who deserve it, the ones in power.

I never really used yahoo either, preferring ask.com and web crawler in those dark days before google.
Hey one out of thousands of industry news web sites agrees with me.
Glad some one brought that up... what's good for the goose, I say...
No, not an apple fanboy.

None of the wretches I worked with were there due to the collapse, I can assure you.
I'm thinking the virtualization folks are waking up to the fact that the world is going mobile, like everyone else.
