This is more about the way of doing lockless data operations than specific data structures - look up the RCU pattern, there are good CPP talks by Fedor Pikus on it.
Love it! Thank you for creating this. Is there a way to add the bookmarklet to my toolbar instead of having it on the bookmarks toolbar which I keep hidden.
EDIT: Also can I get to my home page when I click on Klobie than clicking on my username? And can I tag bookmarks with topics under different boards?
Also, the new (now a few months old) Google finance UI as well.
The charts are almost always broken, clicking on 1M will not show today's levels.
And earlier I could just put a /FB or /GOOG in the URL to get to that page instantly, now the URL is some 100s of long char string (sorry, I am from C/C++ world so dont know the exact terms for these)
Then there is the news events map to the chart, used to be cool to see what caused the dip/bump, but not there now..
I have since moved to Yahoo finance, but that has too much ads and autoplay videos.
I interviewed with a company in San Jose for a job on Nov 16th last year. And guess when I got a answer back from them? Dec 23rd. Yep, that's right. And not like it was some big corporation or a shady company, its a legit publicly traded $2B up and coming firm. As an active job seeker, it has been a very frustrating past 4 months for me. People don't respond after phone interviews or after interviews. And yet if I make a single mistake I always keep thinking about if that costed me that opportunity. Sorry for the unrelated rant.
The latest book (4th edition) though a book in the same series is not exactly in the same vein as the earlier editions. It is toned down and uses Java. I would recommend the 3rd edition based on C or C++. If you are really new to data structures and algorithms then go with the 4th ed. otherwise the 3rd. Also check out Bruno Priess's book which tackles data structures with a lot of object-oriented concepts (can be a bit of academic overload).
My personal favorites are Sedgewick's C and Priess's C++ books and for algorithms, the Algorithm Design Manual.
All of you thinking about this is such a long article with no meat, why he describes food so much, hold off a bit. This is THE format of the column, he does this every week with interesting people (mostly in showbiz), its just relevant to HN due to Sean Parker.
>> Great, but how about week-long hackathons where people can code on whatever they want?
Showing the three-level branch hierarchy of your repository doesn't seem to tell me a great story about what it's like to be a dev at MS. Not because there's anything wrong with the branch structure; if you work at a place where coders are given a lot of liberty and freedom, there should be more interesting things to talk about.
I guess those can be counted as special cases and not pertaining to day-to-day working. The main point to gain from the post it seems is that its not a pain to work in such a complex environment. This is not some web or phone app, its a huge undertaking and how it works in a precise routine.
Yep. Sumatra is great for snappy viewing. But do not print! What it does is convert whole pages in bitmaps and chokes the memory and the network.
I would strong recommend PDF-Xchange. I was a heavy Foxit user, but then it became bloated too and Sumatra lacks some features like highlighting and commenting.
Honestly I don't care. I just want something easy to remember. About caring about other people's perception well I was concerned about potential employers, nothing major.
