Ubuntu fucks up almost every distro upgrade, e.g. 16.04->17.04. With arch you have a rolling release. Since changes are small, less stuff breaks and if in rare cases somethinh breaks, you can still fix it. Ubuntu is also bloated and deprecated. Arch gives you latest software. And no, software does not get better by not updating ...

@bhedia
Awsome and like a boss.

I don't see the direct connection between Linux and Google. Maybe try CubesOS and services like startpage. In the end the only thing we can do is to choose who we trust carefully and elect better politicians. Especially the sort of without alternative facts; facts are facts xor they are not. It is dangerous to give up, because thier data collection capabilities seem overwhelming - we cannot give into fatalism!

Talk to them like they were humans.

At least she is less racist this time :)

Ps: get a grip on ownership and its transfer. There is no such thing in C and Java. You can own any resourcs, e.g. memory, threads, files, locks, sockets, ... in the end it boils down to RAII. C++ is versatile, don't try to use everything, just what you understand and are comfortable with. And strcat tells me you are working on char*, use std::string. The STL is your friend and STL algorithms are your bread and butter.

You actually cannot, under no circumstances, take the leap, that C and Java would be of any help with C++. I saw many devs, proud of their hybris, run into a wall mid-project, when the deadlines came, because they started from a very eco-system denying architecture. Have a deep dive into the C++ core guidelines! Please! They are just advice, but they can save you a later re-write. https://github.com/isocpp/...

We cannot let the corrupt sell it to the greedy to take away the most powerful medium of communication of all time from the people of the world. It is a huge deal to everybody. Same as people's privacy is. Politics tries to invert the relationship between people an them, we cannot let this happen. Politicians must be transparent, not citizens. Communication must be private, equally easy to access for all and uncensored. Otherwise we create the blindspots, where autocrates linger and take away our freedom.

You could also try day-light lamps, they have a spectrum closer to the sun's.

Did u try weed? :)

Yep. That is trumpy crazy. Run my friend! Been there, had that, they are unprofessional. Let them boil in their own sauce. Hope u are still in probation.

My theoretical physics professor told a story once. He has a son and wanted to teach him about physics, early, to share his passion. He told him about electro magnetism, a force seamingly invisible, but actually the reason why we can see - light and so on. The son was so scared, that he never wanted to know more about physics. He became a med. doctor. Nothing wrong with that, but the lesson is: 4 is too early for teaching electro magnetism. Logo sounds fine, I started around 3rd year of elementary, was fun. Delphi later, C++ with 14.

Write more code and show it to everybody! Write code in the evening and on the weekends. If you have social contacs, code when they sleep. If you have a girlfriend/partner get up when he/she sleeps and code! Code code code and get feedback.

Too many. But I guess St. Ignucious is fine.

@tamar company policy ...

This is wrong! Go to a corner, look to the floor and feel the guilt! When you feel the pain in all of your dev-bones, go through a spiritual cleaning ritual, something klingon maybe.

Do a roll-back, if he/she broke one of your aceptance criterias :) and add your lead to the review. BUT be vulcan about it, NO emotions, facts only. Otherwise it will back-fire.

@Grimmdev best combined with vodka or bourbon. Shifts the ballmer peak, though. Handle with caution!

Just got 7.65 deposit back for my mate bottles on last office cleaning day.

Those are the same saying gstreamer 0.1 when they really mean 0.10

@Jere it's great, read about fouriers fight against the no-sayers of his time. No ya shall not compose functions from periodic functions, dimwit! That is impossible! They said ... or even better: wavelet transforms!

This is nice stuff, port the math approach to programming and your code will become more elegant and simpler.

I don't know you, but there is some one better out there. Same applies to your company. You have always the possibility to start your own business. Never settle and complain, that is a waste of time!

Wtf. And web-people say C++ sucks because of pointers ... I have types. I have the best types! JS sooo depressing! Baaaad!!!

Ok, you could define an operator, that does the JS obstruction of logic for you ...

std::string operator+(const std::string& a, const int b){ return a + std::to_string(b);}

... and all the other crazy people rules ...

@yarwest do you know repo? https://code.google.com/p/git-repo/

Would be great to finally get the unconditional base income, financed by robot taxes and actually taking tax from starbucks, ikea, amazon, facebook, google, microsoft, apple, monsanto, ... would give us the freedom to work just a couple of hours per week and use the rest to create awsome free software :)

There is the fuckup nights meetup. Should be around in several cities. I know about Mexico City, New York and Berlin.

@Qchmqs agreed :)

@Artemix "The JVM is fast, it is probably one of the fastest runtimes out there. It just keeps getting faster and leaner with time. Thousands of the smartest engineers are working to make it better, and even more have contributed in the last 21 years." What is that supposed to mean? Comparing e.g. C++ and Java, programs doing the same task, Java is dangerously obese. Just having a garbage collector blows your RAM usage by default. Javas personal trainer is Ronald McDonald!

Qt is a good option, Java needs ~500mb RAM just to start the VM.
