null | f0nd004u | null | It's not any company's job to give you an education. It's your job. And there are totally entry level positions that function as de facto internships, except they're better paying positions. There are a lot of them, actually. All the tech companies that I've worked at had a hire-up-from-within policy (when possible) and entry level positions meant to funnel talent into other areas.
The issue with always doing it that way is that if you have technical debt, and only hire new people into entry level, you train them into your technical debt instead of bringing in people with their own ideas and experience.
I feel little sympathy for anyone who says it's impossible to break into tech because of all the H1-Bs. No one paid for my school. No one hand-held me and taught me my skills. I don't even have a degree. I work in an area with TONS of foreign tech workers. I remain, somehow, desirable in the job market.
If someone had actual data that showed that H1-B visas were keeping women from the industry, you might get my attention. I am otherwise disinclined to listen to people's whining. The reality is that a lot of tech people's jobs are actually becoming obsolete because those people have not grown their skills as the market has changed. For example, I really don't have any use for a system administrator who doesn't know how to do automation.

null | mirhagk | null | As for the DRM thing there's a lot of good technical reasons why someone might support DRM being put in W3C even if that person doesn't believe DRM should exist. The goal of standards is to make it so that websites can run the same on every browser and every device, and forcing websites to use plugins for DRM prevents that from happening.
The idea that not including it in the standard is somehow going to make content owners just go "well I guess we have to end DRM now" is quite naive.
As for what was revolutionary about HTTP was the quick connections. FTP requires you to connect, then open a secondary channel for the data. The connection itself is fairly expensive too (lots of roundtrips). HTTP in contrast was much simpler and quicker, which works better for smaller documents, especially from multiple origins. (also standardized ports are used instead of random ones).
The other key innovation was the concept of a link. Documents were meant to link to other documents and you'd browse through links rather than by using a set of known servers.
These two innovations combined led to people being able to "browse" rather than read specific known documents.

null | oracleoftroy | null | > C++ just requires it to be reclaimed manually rather than automatically.
It is normal in C++ code to use RAII to automatically manage resources. For example, note which language requires manual resource management:
// C++
void foo() {
int i = 3; // no garbage
std::vector<int> ints(10); // heap allocation for array of 10 ints, no additional garbage (vector structure on stack)
std::fstream file(...); // resource allocation, automatically managed
...
} // everything automatically cleaned up
// C#
void Foo() {
int i = 3; // no garbage
var ints = new List<int>(10); // heap allocation for List structure + array of 10 ints
var file = File.Open(...); // resource allocation, manually managed
...
} // GC cleans up memory resources (eventually), but oops, forgot to manually
// clean up the file resource via Dispose() or using statements
At least the C# program will clean up the file if the finalizer ever runs, but that's not something you want to rely on, and in the meantime, the file may be locked or in an unexpected state when some other piece of code wants to access it. | null | 0 | 1491353030 | False | 0 | dfubdhf | t3_63bxdl | null | null | t1_dftzv08 | null | 1493803235 | 5 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |
null | mirhagk | null | Amazon set a very dangerous precedent that is going to cause a lot of problems. Amazon normally runs at a loss, because the company is always growing. It sounds really bad but it can very easily stop growing and then turn a profit.
Amazon has been doing this for decades, and there's always room for it to grow so it seems like companies can run forever at a deficit.
Of course it's possible that the company doesn't grow because it's hit as much of the market as it ever will, and in that case running at a deficit becomes a very bad idea. The trouble is it isn't easy to tell the difference, and it's definitely not easy to compare growth to the deficit and decide whether the growth is enough to make the deficit worth it. And long term investments into new product development makes it even more difficult.
And then you have the derivative market, which makes things far more complicated. When you invest in a stock you aren't really saying whether you think that company is going to grow, rather you are saying you think it's going to grow more than everyone else thinks it will. And it's not whether the company will grow, but whether the stock value will grow. So even if you think Snapchat is going to die 3 years from now, if you think the stock price will jump 1 year from now it can be a worthy investment. And investing in it causes the price to increase. Now all of a sudden the company has a stock price worth far more than it should be, and has a huge influx of cash to fund the company's deficits.
All the employees are still making money even if the company runs at a deficit forever, so they have no incentive to turn a profit. And investors aren't counting on dividends so they don't mind that the company doesn't turn a profit. And we're left with companies that have no desire to turn a profit ever. | null | 0 | 1491353067 | False | 0 | dfubejs | t3_63gui7 | null | null | t1_dfu5xkc | null | 1493803249 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

I take it you've never worked at a company with a codebase shared by over a thousand developers.
If it were my team's code, I would have done that, and it would have taken a minute or two of extra time. And I would have been familiar with it already. But it was another team's code, so that's at least 30 minutes, several context switches, and a search for someone who can do a code review. Success is far from guaranteed.
This is a problem of organization standards, but I was hired fifteen years after the company was founded. I don't have a time machine to retroactively change the Python style guide to require documentation comments specifying parameter and return value types for every function.

Not necessarily. However I'll tell you what it does do: it means that in order to be compliant and keep user share, open source browsers will now have to allow proprietary code loading. As Florian Bosch says: "The EME runtime is a proprietary obfuscated blob. You cannot implement this blob open source. It will have to rootkit the machine it lands on because it cannot allow other programs than the approved browser to operate its API."
Supporting DRM in the browser is supporting the proliferation of DRM. It's making DRM easier and more acceptable in a medium that was previously 'open'. It means that open source browsers will be crushed if they refuse to implement it. The CDM blobs that are required are risks to security of the system of the host.
"They'll just keep doing it anyway so we might as well support them by standardising the methods by which they do it" is pretty poor to be honest.

Users don't give a s*** about whether a browser supports HTML standards or not. What users care about is whether the site they access works in their browser. End of story. If an open source browser decides not to accept that part of the standard it means literally nothing different then if DRM wasn't included in the standard.
Yes it means they'll be non-compliant, but do you know of a browser that is compliant? Does it matter literally at all if they are non-compliant?
But having this standardized now means that open source browsers can ship 2 versions. The first version being the "EVERYTHING MUST BE FREE BECAUSE REASONS" version and the second can be the version that users would actually want to use. And that second part will be a lot easier to do, allowing OSS developers to focus on the things they care about rather than just explaining to people why they have to install windows to watch their shows.
> "They'll just keep doing it anyway so we might as well support them by standardising the methods by which they do it" is pretty poor to be honest.
If there was really a benefit to not having DRM standardized then I'd agree with you. But there really isn't.

Except that it didn't. The entire point of HTTP was the concept of browsing, something that FTP couldn't really support. Even had someone invented FTML and include link tags FTP still took too long to connect.
Again yes someone could've done something to make FTP into HTTP, but those ideas are exactly why HTTP took off.

I speak English natively, Spanish fluently, can probably converse slowly in Portuguese, and smatterings of French, German and Italian. I've never really looked at Latin, but given the grammatical similarities between Portuguese, Spanish and Italian, the complexity you describe surprises me. I thought if anything it would be a more regular language than the modern ones.
Were all those inflections actually used? I think Portuguese has a weird verb tense where you put the object in the middle of the verb, as in: cho-me-veu to say "it rained on me".

Will it? If the blobs are big enough then that's probably true, but compressing blobs individually prevents the optimizer from noticing cross-file patterns and causes duplication of dictionaries.

And that's a valid point for you. But other people who live in the real world will accept a bit of proprietary code in order to be able to view content online. Standardizing DRM helps them and it doesn't make a difference to you. Your favourite open source browser need not include DRM in every single release. Heck I'm sure there's a compiler flag to exclude or include DRM, so just make sure you build the right version and you can be happy. I don't see why you need to force your ideals on everyone else.
> The HTTP part is irrelevant to browsing.
Except it isn't. FTP takes too long to connect to get a document, so you're not going to idly click around on links to see what's there. You'll only click on a link if you're sure you want to go there.
A website on FTP is going to strive to put everything you might want in a single document so you don't have to keep making new requests, which are expensive. A website on HTTP can split up the document into smaller documents, giving you only what they know you need. If you need more you can easily go and fetch more of that.

Very few programs can get away without heap allocations. Very few only *create* objects and never need to reclaim them. If you have an object on the heap that is reclaimed, you have garbage. Whether you reclaim it manually (by way of properly managing smart pointers) or automatically (via gc), garbage is garbage, c++ doesn't save you from that.

null | oracleoftroy | null | **Recommend**: C++ isn't Java or C#. We love free functions. Your `class util` contains nothing but static functions. It's basically acting as a namespace, so you should just make it an actual namespace instead.
**Personal preference**: I like .hpp for C++ only headers and .h for headers that work in C files.
**Opinion**: `long long int` - the `int` is implied, so you can just say `long long`. However, these days I tend to only use `char` for bytes, `int` for reasonably big-ish integer number, and <cstdint> types for everything else. I find `short`, `long`, and `long long` to be a code smell. I think for pow_mod(), `int_fast64_t` or `int_least64_t` would be better. Downside, this doesn't match how the standard headers usually type math function signatures.
**Recommend**: I agree with the advice to take iterators rather than std::vector. Also, it looks like you are reimplementing [std::min_element](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/algorithm/min_element) in your normalize() function. Prefer using the STL functions when available. You should also consider [range based for loops](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/range-for).
**Personal preference**: I like #pragma once over include guards. Upside, it is easier to write and maintain and works on the major compilers. Downside, it is non-standard and not strictly portable. I wouldn't recommend switching though.
**Recommend**: On that note, UTIL\_H\_INCLUDED uses a fairly common naming scheme for guards, and in the case of a common name like util, one likely to clash with other headers. I'd consider adding more to it. I've seen PROJECTNAME\_HEADERNAME\_H(\_INCLUDED) COMPANYNAME\_HEADERNAME\_H(\_INCLUDED), COMPANYNAME\_PROJECTNAME\_HEADERNAME\_H(\_INCLUDED) (and various other versions of those), and even things like HEADERNAME\_H\_<uuid>.
And that's why I like #pragma once... proper include guard naming is a pain. :)
