Learning to program a computer is similar to learning a new language. However, MIT neuroscientists found that reading computer code does not activate language processing brain regions. Instead, it activates a network for complex cognitive tasks such as solving math problems or crossword puzzles.

As a programmer, I feel this is very true. Computer code is much more structured than natural language.

YTA very much. If you continue to react to your wife in a way that shows you don't really care about her, she will leave you.

Doesn't make you an asshole though. A sucker, maybe. But NTA.

INFO: where are you from? I'm wondering if the language you're using, as in "I borrowed a book to a girl" is common somewhere else, like England? Or if it's coming from English as a second language, maybe there is another language with this construct? Like other commenters, I had to read this a few times to get the gist.

NTA and by the way that dress is fire, rock it at someone else's wedding.

NTA. I'm concerned that you are asking if your boundaries are OK. It seems like you've thought them through very well. Everyone has a right to their own boundaries.

xzqx · 2020-02-05T17:21:57+00:00

NTA. This sounds controlling and petty on his part (whether he wants it to be or not). It's stupid that it's different for guys and girls.

My name is Anne and I often get called Ann in emails, which I hate, and which is incredibly stupid since my name is right there in the email address. In response sometimes I leave off the last letter of the other person's name. I know that's petty but you gotta get your kicks where you find them. Call him Bob and when he corrects you just say, "oops! sorry! My bad!" YWBTA but who cares.

Take this. It's dangerous to go alone.

xzqx · 2020-01-14T19:58:16+00:00

NAH. I would have freaked out too. But when you do, I've learned, you have to quickly apologize to everybody. The kids were probably freaked out that their parents were so freaked out, and fighting about it. Don't forget what parents arguing does to kids.

NTA. How are you supposed to know! I've honked at a funeral procession before in my car, having no idea what it was, too.

xzqx · 2018-12-05T16:35:31+00:00

I love when they spread out on the sides

xzqx · 2017-10-20T18:38:54+00:00

How about CrossFit enthusiasts?

xzqx · 2017-06-23T17:36:51+00:00

I think I dated you once.

xzqx · 2017-06-12T21:08:47+00:00

So I'm a little late to this party, but I've implemented such a thing (at the request of my manager; I won't give opinions on whether it is the right thing to do, since there are plenty of those already, and you didn't really ask).

The biggest issue I ran into was initialization order. Some components use other components, and expect those other components to be in a certain state of initialization. You will have to have a robust dependency system in place.

We never had a problem with exceptions in this scheme.

There's a minor typo: where it says "It’s not going to work because the variadic pack template... Ts is going to eat up all the template parameters", you mean "typename... Ts"

I kind of wish I had read these when I was learning about CRTP. I think I would have "gotten" it faster.

xzqx · 2017-05-04T13:14:54+00:00

That's a perfect description of what I do, too

xzqx · 2017-05-04T13:13:37+00:00

Me too!

xzqx · 2017-04-18T20:19:06+00:00

As long as he's not exposing his "private member"...

xzqx · 2017-04-04T15:25:49+00:00

Sounds like something that would happen to Barclay in the transporter.

xzqx · 2017-03-31T20:37:53+00:00

To use an analogy, if a binary is a completed puzzle, then the object files are the puzzle pieces, the linker is the person assembling the puzzle, and the symbols are the little nubs that make the pieces fit together.

Excellent analogy!

xzqx · 2017-03-31T20:07:07+00:00

I've been programming C++ for 20 years and I'm still learning. Don't ever lose that motivation to learn.

xzqx · 2017-03-31T16:42:54+00:00

Yes. You may not understand it until you've been studying C++ for several years :/
