I am probably the weirdest linux/user. Neither Vi(m) nor Emacs managed to please me. I belong to group of few that cannot live without joe (Joe's Own Editor), and sometimes Jed (when syntax coloring is required).:P
But will see how Eclipse and Netbeans works for C++ dev.
On the other hand, what unit testing libraries are worth trying out?
I am Java developer with about 3 years experience. Previously I worked with PHP for couple of years. I have also worked a lot with SQL (Oracle and MySQL), and sometimes with Perl and bash.
Now from all of that I can say that Java seems to be the "simplest" to use. All the tools like profilers, unit testing frameworks, great IDE (eclipse) with plug-ins for everything possible... but I am getting fed up with learning new framework every 6-12 months that changes nothing but XML configuration format (yes, I am exaggerating).
I want to start fooling around with C++. I know that I should start with STL/Boost combo, but how about other tools? Some helper tools to detect critical errors (error prone parts of code)? Some unit testing libraries? Is there good IDE (Visual Studio Express seems awfully.NET oriented), or can I buy something reasonable? All tips will be welcomed.
1. Don't pretend that you understand all technical stuff. 2. Don't question developers estimates. If they say that something takes given amount of time, then it does. 3. Be boss. Your ass is on the line. Developers know that company won't be loyal to them, and they won't be either. Everyone is (should be) covering their own ass. 4. Head count is important, but 4 developer does not equal 4 developers. Firing one guy and employing different one, does not mean that your project is on track. 5. Other than that? Manage, keep track how things are going. Don't be afraid to ask how things are going. Usual stuff.
May I rephrase that... not that I don't care about internal users... but You don't have to satisfy their needs unless we are talking about usability and ease of use. Motif seems odd, but I had to use quite a few of application written in it, and they were stable and usable as hell. And I do agree with You... if you can afford Qt for commercial use... go for it.
Well I would say it depends on the end user. If this is in-house use only, I would go with Motif. No one cares for the UI outlook (themes and stuff, but for functionality and stability). If your aim is broader and more demanding group of users I would go with wxWidgets or QT.
I know this will not be an accurate information, but anyway... I saw, how one of modern Ericsson phones had some very small/cheap FPGA soldered in and it was used for overcoming a design error of some ASIC. So, yes, in fact we are usign CPLDs/FPGAs on daily basis;)
Definitely not because of this. I am not 100% sure but I was once told that Swedish people (and from personal experience, Finnish people to) are biggest coffee drinkers. They even have special break during work solely for the purpose of drinking coffee.
I couldn't agree more. I hate the TAs or Phds who say "I will consider You as an adult... so I will make a weekly test to check whether You are studying"... wtf?! If I am an adult I should be aware of consequences of not learning and get proper mark of the exam. The same goes for laptops, and other things that I might find usefull for studying.
You miss my point, I'm not talking about demos. I'm talking about 10 minutes of hands-on testing.
And where is he talking about demos?
I agree with finnif, that 10 minutes is not enough, frameworks are meant to be simple in use, but don't forget that with ease of use there is always a risk of oversimplifying things, making custom design really hard.
After all what is 10 minutes rule worth anyway? For example look at Django, Python framework. At the first glance it is great. Does everything and is really clear. But then you discover that backward compatibility sucks which each update. This is just one example.
I'm betting that the people in Eastern Europe feel somewhat differently about such policy issues than do, say, the politicians in France, Spain, Denmark, etc.
Nope. We don't. We believe in EU and we don't think about USA every instance of time. Just another country on planet called Earth.
Once I was Pine user. Then I was KMail user (rather old release... KDE 2.x times) Then there was ThunderBird... Now... One and only Evolution. Why?
Calendar, Address Book, sync with my cellphone, vFolders. I just wish that new-mail-notification was working in KDE. Appart from this it is a great software.

I like ADA. ADA95 seems quite nice language (althought I dislike the syntax which is somehow similar to Pascal). It is of course general purpose language but the lack of libraries make it not quite "easy" to build complex application. It may be good for some niche applications, but it won't make it to mainstream.
Simple, it does not do what I expect it to do (does not support most of proffessional EDA tools and many more). I realy like the Apple computers outlook, and the OS is also neat, but hey, how long can You play with Expose;)

I was once console-only developer (even in Java world), but once I started using GUI debugger, code completion, etc. it kind of ended ;)
I will give C++ eclipse a try although new QT developer tools also looks simple and functional.

Don't encourage. Let them have happy and social life.
No, I didn't read TFA.

There are tons of ARM CPU variants out there, and most of them aren't made by ARM Ltd.
I believe that NONE of them are made by ARM Ltd. ARM sells IP cores. That's all.
And that's is good right?
:( If it wasn't for legacy code that has to be maintained, it would be long gone.

Have You seen the movie Island? MSN Search, XboX, etc. They didn't even bother to make it look like a product placement, it was plane advertaisment.
I was, and the only lectures that I have even noticed the presense of laptop near by was on an extremely boring lectures.

I am not sure how it is solved in the USA, but most European countries impose on seller/manufacturer time limit of 2 weeks for repair.
This doesn't help. Imagine that this thing breaks down and You have to wait for a month to have it repaired in Germany.
