null | zenaudio | null | Sure. What I mean, succinctly, is it creates an inscrutable, poorly documented, abstraction around the task of building which is designed to "help" by hiding all the "difficult" things. The problem is that the abstraction doesn't cover all use-cases and when you invariably go to lower level (after hours of frustrating attempts using the higher-level functionality), you have to traverse the pile of merde to do what you actually wanted to do.
For me the problem was creating app bundles on macOS. The documentation was poor and I couldn't get it to generate app bundles correctly. In the event I circumvented that functionality and built the app bundle using bash scripts. Another problem was libraries, where I had to do extra work to embed, only to later discover that fixup_bundles basically does that for the most part.
By necessity, I now understand exactly what CMake is doing under the hood. That's why I think the abstraction didn't buy me anything. I'd prefer something slightly higher level than make addressing the pain points I listed above, but less "big framework" than CMake.

null | silveryRain | null | >This seems like a bad idea because it is a subjective measurement rather than an objective one.
It depends. Are you the type who dislikes it for not being C, or the type who knows what to look for in accordance to your needs? Are you able to establish beforehand what pitfalls you'd find tolerable (maybe you don't need a package manager) and which are deal-breakers (say, a poor implementation)? Really, you need better standards than "Rust users must bitch more about Rust". I recommend using the [SMART criteria](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMART_criteria) for establishing such standards (imagine you're setting goals for Rust).
> The only complaints I see against Rust in this community is that they just don't like the look of the syntax ... it isn't C, or ... difficulty wrapping their heads around the move semantics
You haven't been looking hard enough then, there are several other common ones. I recommend going through Rust's issue tracker for even more.
>someone may discard Rust during a weekend test just because they don't like that it isn't C, or that they had difficulty wrapping their heads around the move semantics
Luckily, you already know of these things going in. Here's the one other possible surprise I can think of: if you try to write Rust the way you write C (like trying to roll your own linked lists), you'll end up overusing `unsafe` and you'll fail to take advantage of its strengths, like iterators, higher order functions etc. | null | 0 | 1491324680 | 1491325822 | 0 | dftm2bu | t3_62wye0 | null | null | t1_dfsw3v7 | null | 1493790999 | 2 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

It's pretty trivial to do this with GCC. There are options like -MMD (and other variants) and then you have your Makefile include the resulting .d files. There are many ways to structure your builds though, and the complexity can spiral out to be pretty large depending on how complex your needs are. Small projects usually aren't much trouble though.
I think cmake is pretty great, because it does the majority of what most projects need pretty effortlessly. The biggest problem I've had in the past was their online documentation/best practices.

It went for two decades, I think it's still going.
It underwent some 2000 schema changes: new types, new fields, rare removal.
All very backwards compatible (meaning: version x of the software opens files made with any version y of the software where y<=x).
In particular, schema versioning support is very important. With sqlite, that is absent (need to roll your own).
Another cool thing: so one object in the data model is "pointed to" by several others. No work needed for that, you just shove the object from any pointees into a file to save, "extract" the object from the file to read, and you're all set.

We can't recognize every single nobel winner either. But that's ok... we can still appreciate and respect them.

null | bilog78 | null | Off the top of my head, I can tell you who Kahan is (or at least was, not sure what he's doing now) and what he is responsible for.
William Kahan used to be an engineer at Intel as the designer of the 8087 coprocessing FPU, at the crucial moment of the drafting of the IEEE-754 standard for floating point representation and behavior on modern computers, over which he had a pretty strong influence.
For those who don't know why this is important, I would recommend reading some of his whitepapers and journals on the topic, which give a pretty enlightening (and depressing) overview of the state of floating-point math before the standardization.
(He is also responsible for the Kahan summation algorithm, which allows the result of a single-precision summation to be nearly as good as a double-precision summation, truncated only at the end, provided the compiler respects the IEEE-754 standard and does not “optimize” things by reordering floating-point operations.) | null | 0 | 1491326413 | False | 0 | dftnpau | t3_63e1ws | null | null | t1_dftlq1h | null | 1493791789 | 10 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

null | jack104 | null | Yea I understand. Recruiters don't know the tech like we do, all they know are buzz words and how to pad a resume. I dealt with a recruiter in Nash who asked what my desired salary level was (this was a few years back) and I gave him a fairly large, but not ridiculous, number since I was already in a job I liked alright. Dude had the balls to tell me that unless I lowered the number he wouldn't "waste his time" with me and that developers with my skill set don't fetch that kind of money in this market. Like you could hear it in his voice that he was pissed I ballparked the number I did and it kind of pissed me off. But, I live in Cincinnati now and a recruiter got me an interview and a job offer with a place I really enjoy working at so I suppose the firm and the recruiter are the variables.
At any rate, if you know CPP and you're feeling adventurous, defense contractors and machine companies would pay you a small fortune if you could get a security clearance to work on embedded systems and if you don't want to go that route, C# is very similar to CPP in many regards and it wouldn't take you much time at all to be proficient in both languages.

null | shinazueli | null | I don't assume my observations are universal.
This is what pisses me off about high brow college folks. I have a master's degree in computer science. I know what the fuck I'm talking about. But because some dip shit decided to post some statistics somewhere that for all I know he pulled right out of his left ass cheek, people are more likely to listen to that then the educated, experienced opinion of their elders and peers.
I mean, I know you took statistics right? I'm assuming you realize how *ridiculously* easy it is to show **absolutely anything** you want to, by grouping data sets differently.
I'm also sure you're aware of how research funding works. The studies that businesses like are the ones that get published, in many industries.
But no, keep talking about "universal observation" and "anecdotal". There's published news stories about people training their offshore replacements, with real names. Real people. But yeah, "anecdotal" because it doesn't fit the established agenda. Totally.
I could probably whip up a power point with made up bullshit statistics and call it "margin of error" and "confidence intervals" and "standard deviation" and bullshit my way through telling the point, but then I'd be just as bad as the people you're trying to reference as believable.

null | eluusive | null | You're still omitting the sheer number of people that go into SW without a degree. My degree is in computational physics.
As far as buying power in 1972 vs today -- I cannot buy a house. In the major tech hub areas where all these great jobs are, the prices of houses have houses have ballooned. Anywhere else, it's questionable I'll find one of these great paying jobs without having to migrate every couple of years.
When I was growing up, the local lumber mill dropped wages to unlivable levels, fired all the American workers, and replaced them with illegal immigrants. They then proceeded to run the lumbermill 24 hours a day making a profit off trees they had purchased from the government at an extreme discount. They were able to do this because the government would deport any immigrant that raised a complaint about their work conditions.
When I was a teenager I worked in a fruit-packing plant. I routinely watched the illegal immigrants get shafted by the rich white landowner. He routinely refused to pay them back wages and sent them packing if they complained about anything at all.
Loose immigration is criminal. It's crony capitalism and it allows landowners to continue screwing everyone over, as they have been doing since 1980's Virginia, and probably the beginning of time.
You want Americans to flock to various jobs that require high-levels of personal investment and time commitment when they could be replaced at any moment due to stupid government policies. (Many of my co-workers have substantial student loans, and their degrees cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in money and time) For most Americans, it makes more sense to do something other than computer programming.
If you want a functioning society, and a functioning middle class, you can't continue to let business run roughshod over common people.
The same things are happening across all the STEM fields. It makes ZERO financial sense for an American to get a PhD. Any American that could earn a PhD can make more money doing something else -- and the market for PhDs here has been completely saturated by stupid immigration policies.
Do you really expect me to take the opportunity cost to finish my PhD in Physics when the 90th percentile pay is less than I'm making right now and the cost to earn the degree is 7+years of living in a sardine can? | null | 0 | 1491327302 | False | 0 | dftojns | t3_638rgm | null | null | t1_dfsq738 | null | 1493792194 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

null | watchme3 | null | Skimmed through the article. It focuses on async task, which imo should be avoided always because of it s unexpected behavior. And then talks about services as threading mechanisms. You really shouldn't be doing that unless you really know that you need it, very rare cases, definitely not for handling most network requests. Should be doing that in your application class if you are worried about your activity being destroyed. And then nowhere in the article does the author talk about the actual Android threading mechanism which is the message, looper, handler mechanism besides saying it can be used to update the ui on the main thread. Then pointing to a 3rd party library that is 'easier' while ignoring that every view in android will have a reference to the main thread handler where you can post your update runnable.

null | oridb | null | To be honest, I haven't seen much difference with ninja. It's probably marginally faster, but on the projects I end up writing, not enough to matter.

But that's easy enough to avoid triggering, to the point where I don't think I've seen anyone even mention it.
Make has its problems (bad enough that for one project I've written my own build system), but speed has rarely been one of them for me, and the times it has been (megarepos with millions of files), ninja wouldn't have helped: It was limited by the speed of stat. | null | 0 | 1491327893 | 1491363134 | 0 | dftp3h0 | t3_63dch7 | null | null | t1_dft72l1 | null | 1493792462 | 2 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |
