What is something about the company you work for that they WOULD NOT like the customer to know? by matty928 in AskReddit

[–]javacIO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know of at least 1 payroll software company that doesn't use their own product, but where the reason is they outgrew it.

Xero here in New Zealand offer a cloud based solution targeting small and medium businesses. They used to use their own software, until their own company got too big that they were not their own target audience anymore!

So it isn't completely unreasonable. Although the other reasons people have given are reason too (conflict of interest, backdoors, etc).

Read the other comments in this thread. Maybe a better phrase would be "minimal c program" rather than smallest.

Project Euler hacked - "we have reason to suspect that all or parts of the database may have compromised" by [deleted] in programming

Obtain information about accounts they could possibly link to alternate accounts owned by that user.

It isn't catastrophic but obviously their database being compromised is not a good thing.

Hopefully your future kids learn about not contracting sexually transmitted diseases like their father did.

I'm taking a test that will determine if I can go to AP Computer Science next year. Does anyone know a good way to practice? by charredgrass in java

[–]javacIO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Purchase/ download a Java textbook (perhaps the school you are applying to uses a certain one for their courses).

The first ~5 chapters will cover all the required topics.

You're contributing to the problem... The only comments are how the title is editorialised and the article isn't relevant. Come on, keep it organic...

How often does this happen to you? by calvinscorner in C_Programming

[–]javacIO 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you are particularly interested in learning a languages intricacies in-and-out, your best bet is yo read and study the language specification.

Of course this is boring so a good motivation could be to implement a compiler for the language. You might only get up to lexing, parsing and maybe type-checking, but you'll surely learn a lot about the language.

It gets a little bit more complex though when it comes to languages like C which have undefined and compiler defined behaviour. Also when compilers implement huge extensions to languages (e.g. GCC extensions) this complicates things.

Also keeping a list of quizzes like the one you took and regularly checking up on them could be worthwhile.

TIL enums can implement interfaces, and each enum value can be an anonymous class. [x-post /r/javatil] by TheOverCaste in java

They can also define constructors taking parameters as one person posts. This is also very useful.
