It's goofy, but one of the reasons I'll pick C for a quick program is that both Windows and Linux will give better error messages for standard functions that fail and set errno than for equivalent C++ code that throws an exception.

This isn't a question about the language, it's definitely a quality-of-implementation issue for standard exceptions to have what() give a useful message.

Just to clarify perror will generally give a better error message in:

FILE* fh = fopen("foo.txt", "w+");
if (!fh) {
perror("unable to open foo.txt");
return 1;
}

Than what() will in:

std::fstream fs;
fs.exceptions(std::ifstream::failbit | std::ifstream::badbit);
try {
fs.open("too.txt");
}
catch (const std::exception& ex)
{
std::cerr << "unable to open foo.txt: "
<< ex.what() << '\n';
}

(Ignoring other issues such as whether exceptions are better than return codes, etc.)

No, no default constructor is invoked. In this specific example, until C++17, a temporary int object is created then x is copy constructed from it [1]. The compiler is explicitly allowed to omit the temporary+copy and directly construct from the parameter as per int x(0), but the constructor must be non-explicit.

From c++-17 on this is actually required and additionally a copy constructor is not required to exist. In practice is equivalent to #2 except for the non-explicit requirement.

Pedantic, I know, but as long as we are trying to clarify the rules is better to be clear.

Projectors are nice if you have a huge blank wall. My TV needs to go off to the side due to the layout of my living room, the fireplace is the focal point of the room. Plenty of other rooms the TV has the best viewing angles from a corner. They can't replace TV's in all situations.

It's a supply and demand issue at the core. There is simply more demand for housing units than available and so prices continue to rise until demand tapers off.

Using New York City as an example there are about 3.4 million residential housing units available and a population that is set to reach 9 million in the next few years (500k increase).

It's true that there is not much raw land left for new development, but the city can change zoning in areas. Imagine if 100,000 1 family houses are rezoned to allow for even just 8 unit multi-family walkup. 800,000 new housing units would help counter the demand that causes the price to keep rising.

The home construction industry also has issues which end raising the finished cost of housing. An interesting read is "Sweat Equity" by Larry Angell, A self-published book where the author describes why it made financial sense for him to leave his job for a year to build his own house rather than buy a house and continue working.
I can only recommend it in older hardware, because Elementary is actually very, very fast. I used in a 32bits/2GB laptop and it was the only usable distro there.

But not having windows menus in any application or contextual menus in the default video player is way too minimalistic for me.

Also, installing and using Chrome instead of the default browser results in three icons in the dock.

Now my laptop can run 64bits and has 8GB of RAM, so standard Ubuntu (and having menus) is a much better choice.

Everyone's different. I certainly like nature but I can't imagine living in the countryside. Just to give you my perspective why I think city life is fantastic:

First thing that comes to mind: I like (mostly non-mainstream) music and I like to go to live music events. There's no way I can do that frequently in a rural area. Well, apart from driving to the next larger city, that is.

Which brings me to the next point: While public transport in larger cities often is far from perfect it's ok to pretty decent most of the time. Living in a rural area requires owning a car, something which I've given up on years ago and never intend to do again.

Then there's the economic aspect of cities: Where there's a greater density of people and companies there also is more potential income available. Cities allow you to make new connections on a regular basis. Meeting new people allows you to explore new opportunities - economic or otherwise - if only by serendipity.

Apart from that, large cities counterintuitively also make sense ecologically because they require less resources than if the some number of human beings lived spread out through the country.
That line pulled me up short too.

Joel's staff hurt the customer. Not delivering your work until paid is one thing. Reverting the site is totally unacceptable.

I once built a MS Excel add-in in C++ that worked perfectly when compiled by Visual Studio in debug mode but would not run when compiled in release mode. Obviously, debugging in release mode was a huge pain.

Long story short: at some point Excel stores the file path of the add-in in a string with (for some reason) a max length of 128. The file path "C:/.../Debug/addin.xll" totaled 127 characters and the path "C:/.../Release/addin.xll" was 129.
I know three solutions for this:

* (Classic): use goto so that instead of returning directly, all branches jump to a cleanup label. This is tricky to do well, but possible.

* (Nonstandard): GCC offers a nonstandard function attribute to register a function as a destructor for this kind of thing. I'm sure they claim it was inspired by Scheme's dynamic-wind/dynamic-wind concept.

* (Memory pooling): Apache APR relies heavily on memory pools. One feature of APR's memory pools is the ability to register functions to run (in, I believe, non-deterministic order) on data when the pool is eventually destroyed.

well yes they are open by design. If you want closed namespaces just put your functions (as statics) inside a struct.

Btw, visibility rules in a namespace (but not in a struct/class) are the same as for the global namespace, so no, a function in a namespace won't see another declared after it.

In my company's contract, we limit our liability to the amount paid by the client. Without a liability limitation clause in the contract, you're taking on a potentially unlimited amount of liability in each project. It's not worth the risk. A few good paragraphs in the contract make all of the difference in the world. If you don’t have a liability limiting clause, you should.

Also, this client engagement started going wrong from the very beginning, when the team allowed so many changes for free, and even launched the website without final payment.

I'm all in favor of over-delivering -- and I probably also would have fixed the problematic PSDs for free -- but 294 hours of work on a 116 hour project, launching the website without the required final payment, and then continuing to do work is way too much.

We didn't take the course to court -- we were two - three people and the contract was $10k as a whole, but it left me feeling very raw about contract work. I have to say for me, this is a great ad for this employer being a safe and employee-valuing place to work.

Hi there.
I'm an IT guy, with a reasonable salary. My wife has been under a lot of stress for the last three jobs (over a 5 year timeframe) and recently we've been discussing the possibility for her to simply stop working, and dedicate her time to raising kids, taking care of our home, etc., for the long term.

At first it sounded a bit scary to me. I used to believe that both people in a marriage should be both financially indipendent, and both should feel fulfilled by an occupation (or later on, by some type of activity).
However, on second thought, I am more open to the idea.

I am wondering if any of you has experienced something like this, and if you can help me by sharing your thoughts, comments, opinions, etc. It will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Why? I've seen such a system in action - based on the passport number, they pull up a digital copy of that passport, including the information on it and photo, as well as the list of dates when you traveled in/out of the country.

Each country definitely has something like this for their own citizens, and within the EU this information is shared (probably quite freely) between frontier agents and the police. A driver's license from the Netherlands can quickly be checked for authenticity/validity in Germany for example...

They don't need that much data, just photo and name, ID numbers, maybe the registered address(es).

Based on that, if you have any criminal history, you can bet they'll see it anywhere as it is priority information.

The UK also has a long history of poorly distributed land "ownership" [1]. Considerably more than half the land in the UK is controlled by approximately 6000 families. The wealthiest were given real law-making / killing power through the House of Lords until 1999, when most (but not all) hereditary peerages were removed.

Much of this land comes with subsidies and titles. Immense amounts of money can be made from grouse shooting. There's not really an incentive to sell land. There also tends to be a stigma in selling off inherited land -- like the end of a dynasty. Much of the land that is bought by developers is land that was sold by developers.

When land is sold from these families, it is sold for very high amounts because demand is high and supply is low. Land can make up ~50% of a new house price. I do not know if there is any collusion amongst those who do own the land, but any such collusion would bring enormous advantages and would almost certainly not be condemned in any way.

Affordable housing in the UK is a needlessly scarce resource. Instead of focusing on supply, which would lead to a long-term solution, much of the media has jumped through hoops to focus on the short-term demand caused by immigration whilst ignoring the slightly peculiar policy to sell off state-owned affordable housing to banks.

For the new compiler, are you sticking with using C as an intermediate language? It seems like not, but if you're planning to support importing C headers...
