I'll join the threadjack.
When I was in University, I worked as a mover for a company that would hire ANYBODY. We did mostly office moves under heavy supervision (Of course we couldn't be trusted.) I have never had my value as a person questioned as much as I did during that time.
The upside of the job was that I could put 40 hours in on a weekend on a cash basis, which left me the entire week free for books and beer.
When I turn off the stereo, I want it to go OFF. I don't want a little red light to appear to tell me it's off.
Now, replace that little red light with a 1000000 candle power white LED. That way, my neighbours across the street can tell that I've turned the stereo off by that eerie glow in my living room.
When I took data structures, we did singly and doubly linked lists, binary, and n-ary trees (various forms), and graphs. I would suggest that any n-ary linked list is actually a graph.
As for your horsehair paintbrush example, I would suggest that perhaps a Platypus fur brush is a better idea: Horse Hair - Done Badger - Done Boar - done Platypus? New, Novel -- Patent it!
I disagree. If you are using an IDE that provides the option of collapsing blocks, then wrapping the code to be skipped actually makes the code easier to read.
Otherwise, your continue/break is at the right hand side, which makes the flow hard to follow on a quick scan.
Of course, if you have too many levels of nesting, maybe you should refactor and put some of that code in methods.
Print out all numbers from 1 - 10 except 7 for (int i=1; i=10; i++) {
if (i==7)
continue;// go to end of loop and continue with next iteration
else// solely for clarity
System.out.println(i); }
is in all ways equivalent to:
for (int i=1; i=10; i++) {
if (i!=7)
System.out.println(i); }
if (condition) continue;
can always be replaced with: if (!condition) {// code to "continue" over. } The cost is 1 layer of nesting, the benefit is a lot of clarity.
I also feel the same way about break statements. If you need one, you should probably rewrite your loop conditions.
I just checked the six $20 (CDN) bills in my wallet. They were new from the atm on Saturday, and I don't sit on my wallet. All the raised dots are so flattened out that I can't feel them. The only way I can find them is to hold the bill edgewise to the light and glance along the edge of the bill.
I would look into how each company manages development.
The advantage of the big company is that you will probably work with someone who has more knowledge and experience than you. There is also a good chance that you can move up the ranks there. In the small company, you're it. You are at the top of the development ladder, and there is nowhere to go from there.
However, in the small company, there is an opportunity to shine, and really show what you can do.
I had to install an Operating System, NIC drivers and a web browser. I shouldn't have to do this to fill out a Census!!! I should be able to do it directly from BIOS.
Aren't drives still constant angular velocity? Don't the slower moving inner sectors store data more densely than the faster outer sectors?
I don't quite see the relationship between platter size and speed. In fact, I think the smaller drive would be faster in a badly fragmented drive as the head has a small distance to move in the worst case.
It's a joke site.
Jonathan Goode (grade 7) applied findings from many fields of science to support his conclusion that God designed women for homemaking: physics shows that women have a lower center of gravity than men, making them more suited to carrying groceries and laundry baskets; biology shows that women were designed to carry un-born babies in their wombs and to feed born babies milk, making them the natural choice for child rearing; social sciences show that the wages for women workers are lower than for normal workers, meaning that they are unable to work as well and thus earn equal pay; and exegetics shows that God created Eve as a companion for Adam, not as a co-worker.
If this is mandated, then the software manufacturer will only warrant the software fit for specific uses.
This warranty is void if:
The user connects to any network not on Microsoft's approved network list.
The user installs any software not explicitly covered on the MS Software compatibility list.
The user ever enters data incorrectly....
You can see where I'm going here. It's not just ms, EVERY vendor would have to create a similar license
It's a bit late, I know, but you missed a decimal point there.
It was (point eight C)
41 ~= 32/sqrt(1-.64/1) (although, I may have include acceleration time in the original calc.
Therefore, 41 years pass, not thousands.
Read the freaking post before you get all snarky.
To use Heinlein's analysis from Expanded Universe:
1g constant boost gets us to light speed in 1 year.
Assume a maximum speed of.8C, and we get there in 52 years.
At.8C, the travellers only perceive 32 years.
So, if we can build a 1g boost rocket, and find a fuel source (Non-trivial)
we could conceivable travel this distance in a lifetime, and still have some useful years left.

Fibonacci was an Italian. He is known as the man who advocated the use of the ARABIC number system in Europe. This makes him a terrorist in my books.

No, it's more akin to shutting the library down because there's a photocopier in the lobby.

Continue is really not necessary at all.
// go to end of loop and continue with next iteration // solely for clarity
// code to "continue" over.

Sorry, doesn't work.

No, Ice Hockey is American and European. Hockey is Canadian.
That's how I do it!
The solution is simple: Throttle ports commonly used for torrents/P2P from 9-5. Let the poor students download their pr0n and Warez at night.
Duke Nukem Forever is just going to fly on one of those.

I'll agree with you there. Best writing in the series, and a really good overarching plotline.
why would they require a security clearence?
To keep the immigrants out.
5 years experience and Security clearance are the two best ways to discriminate without actually saying "No Dogs or Irish"

However, in this case the OP was using a phrase incorrectly when there was a perfectly correct alternative that is no more difficult to say.
Mod parent Up.
Not flamebait.
"But if it isn't flamebait, it wouldn't have been modded as such." <-- That's begging the question

Tab? It essentially walks you through all clickable items in a linear fashion.
So really, what you're saying is that you want a 1d interface?
