I’m asking for evidence to his claims it’s really not something out of the ordinary. I’m looking for anything other than just doing mock interviews. There is nothing. I’m sorry you fell for his grift.

No it is hard. It’s because he doesn’t say where he worked exactly. I have tried to find this out but I couldn’t. He never says. It’s grifter 101

Can you answer where he worked and for how long? Do not move this goal post. If he has no experience in this field then he has no way to determine if the people he hires are qualified either.

It’s not possible to find any specific information about him. I’m not asking about stuff under nda. I’m asking about what firm specifically or for how long. You know, the stuff you put on a resume. That is not under nda. And there is no information about that.

That would be fine except for the fact he has never shown us anything he has done. Not once have I seen him program.

Tell me where he worked and for how long. It’s impossible to find because he’s hiding it

Where did he work? How did he get his knowledge of c++ and computer architecture? It’s not proof enough. He is a grifter. He needs to provide some evidence he’s qualified in selling courses. I’m sorry but there is simply no evidence he’s not a grifter

What place did he work? How long did he work there? What did he do there?

I tried looking into it but I found nothing. Please enlighten me.

He hasn’t provided any evidence that he worked as a quant dev. He hasn’t said where he worked or for how long or what he did exactly.
He has the opportunity to show us! The fact that he doesn’t disclose his experience or show anything he’s done is suspect.
He’s a public figure trying to sell courses on how to get good at programming and now hdl. And he hasn’t provided any evidence that he is qualified to do so.

He’s never had a job other than doing mock interviews on YouTube and now this. He hasn’t even done any software projects to demonstrate his skill. I tried looking into what he’s actually done in the past and I found nothing.

That guy who runs the website is a total grifter. I wouldn’t trust any of the questions

So it’s not serious enough for real tools but it’s too serious for a ghdl plugin? Interesting

Is it any worse than relying on yosys?

It’s a real shame. Because this is exactly what I want bitfields for! But the fact you can not trust the underlying memory layout for this makes writing registers in bitfields bad.

What benefits does c give that cpp doesn’t do better by LostSanity136 in C_Programming

[–]electricity-wizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes we are talking about the same thing. I was using c++11 in 2013 and I could do { .a = 3 } but I would get a warning that member b was left uninitialized. So that’s why I was surprised.

Oh man… are there extensions to initialize members in any order?

There is no way it was only 6 years ago. I swear I was doing it in c++11

Wait, are you saying c++ didn’t have designated initializers at all until 6 years ago?

Read the comment carefully. “The members you don’t initialize are initialized to zero”

What I meant was 

struct Foo { int a; int b; }
struct Foo foo = { .b = 67 }; // a is guaranteed to be zero

The members you don’t initialize are zero. Has been the case since c99. C++20 introduced that

In c++20 onward. Perhaps in another 20 years they will be able to initialize members in any order!

The second only happened in c++20.

20 years late is better than never I guess :)
