hackits··on Employers Choose Bonuses Over Raises
Very common for software developer working in Asian countries. As soon as the end of year bonus is given out they can walk into their office the next day and everyone has resigned and moved onto another company with all your IPO and business knowledge.
hackits··on Companies worry more about access to software developers than capital
You're frustrated because you're the sole reason why it's happening. Set boundaries and you should be fine. Walk out of the job on time, and get a new phone number and a phone with a dual sim.

You either set boundaries for yourself, and manage your managers expectations and resources or they will pick your expectations and resources. You have to pick one, and I don't blame the business for taking him for a ride.
hackits··on In Kenya, “sugar” relationships have become both more common and more visible
Guy talking here. As a man it's best to self actualize and see you-self as a person with feelings, emotions and boundaries. Take a serious look at your health, sexual ,emotional needs and address them individually distinct from each other. After that then branch off to getting sexual relationships with other people as you yourself can identify people with mental disorders and vet people who don't align with your goals and aspiration in life.

If anyone wants a great starting point to help out I would recommend the talks by: https://youtu.be/lMBqFFnSS5U?list=PLe7tfp6fIaMwdMTW2O3-kkBiJ...

For Veting individual you can simply use `Transactional analysis` to quickly filter from people who're high value vs high drama.

This may be n sample size of 1. After reading the NASA programming guidelines for remote vehicles and operation of equipment on mars my programming and system programming got a lot better.

Boil it down very simply without going into detail. * On start-up each module allocates all its memory (it has a fixed bounds) * Each loop loop of each module has a interation bounds * Assert pre-condition and post-condition of routines and leave them in production.

hackits··on Engineering whiteboard interviews: yay or nay?
Most of the time their technology stack with be vastly different than anything else you've worked with. There will be other people you will need to discuss and coordinate with. Articulating your thoughts and expressing yourself clearly and concisely is more important.

Vast majority of the technical problems have been solved and its delivery a solution to a business problem that is the most important aspect.

hackits··on Engineering whiteboard interviews: yay or nay?
For this reason I don't do living coding sessions. People have asked me `why` which I politely say the answer is no. They seem to like the boundaries I set for myself and my project's more than some sort of white board.

Yes, I've been turned down for jobs over the white board but I've had more positive results than negative.

You shouldn't be in business if you don't know what your growth will be. That is all part of your business operation's and deployment strategy.

SQL Server/Windows Licenses costs shouldn't really be a problem if you've factor them into your business plan and expenses. The businesses that get into trouble are the ones that naively assume software is free.

Really just comes down to a argument what side of the fence you're on. Are you the addict? (then its bad), if you're the dealer (then its good).

Mostly comes down to switching the burden of responsibility.

Sorry lovich, you're making this personal. Cannot have a personal discussion here. Only can make witty, conforming viewpoints of society and social norm's here. I agree completely with your view point and it's great to have such a open discussion with it here. This is a safe space of truth, and cast no moral, social, political bias.

Have a nice day.

The point I was making is you're making a moral judgement based on your upbringing to a different culture that has different cultural normal around sex and Business. In essence you're putting your moral judgement above the men you're associating with.

Do you really believe their wives and girlfriends are princesses who are innocent little delicate snowflakes that need your manly protection? You're getting played my friend with the oldest trick in the book.

Oh the `good` people of these `countries`. By what yard stick do you measure `good`. These `good` people considering it normal. I think you need to stop bringing your naive viewpoint of the West to Asia.

> 15% body fat percentage tends to be off putting.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4892674/ `Also of note is that observers adjusted both the attractive and healthy male body figures to consist of approximately 16% fat and 80% muscle, given a mean body weight of 78.24kg for the subject identities. The figure of 16% lies within the healthy fat range of 8–21% for young adult Caucasian males `

15% is actually very close to the ideal attractiveness for males.

~25% Body Fat https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4995441/

25% BF isn't much to go off, but above 25 BMI you're putting yourself at un-necessary risk. 25% BF still is very high. Heath wise you should look at 8–21%.

hackits··on The Impoliteness of Overriding Methods (2012)
I would say you `never never subclass` most of the time its just proves your design is turning into a taxonomy. You really don't need classes for a OOP language, its just simply a convention that developers use that is convenient.

When the shirt comes off that dad bob isn't going to impress anyone also its bloody unhealthy and put you a serious risk of CHD and diabetes. Yes you can get women with being short and overweight, just you have to ask yourself the type of women and the expectations of women that you pull in are.

Dating app's I would recommend healthy body fat% and that is 16% to 20% range. Although I still recommend meeting people in person instead of dating apps as the odd's for guys are really stacked against them.

Although I'm mostly for hook-up's for guys bellow the age of 30. I don't think its healthy for a guy to meet one women and declare her the love of his life. Women in western countries have it too easy to make a mans life living hell.

hackits··on Stack Overflow Isn’t Very Welcoming – It’s Time for That to Change
Oh look a question, oh look bellow the accepted answer is the real answer to the question!
hackits··on Impersonators who are paid to flirt on dating apps
Here is my two cents.

A) Is superior in every way.

Now let me fill in the gaps a little bit and maybe some-one else will find this information useful.

First step is to look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself `do` you find yourself physically attractive? Do you have good posture, Do you have a low 10%-16% body fat percentage? Are you dressed to impress or just dress just it over with?

If you answered no, then 10000% work on those aspects of yourself first before wasting time with dating apps and also meeting people in person.

For the remainder or if you're curious keep reading.

You're going to have to come to the realization there are going to be certain percentage of women out there who want to have sex with you. You're going to appeal to a group of women, Hispanic, Greek, Asian, Caucasian, Indian and age groups. How are you going to find this out? You're going to put yourself out there and be judged by women. It sux's, you're going to get some women who're going to receptive to you and there are some women who literally will run away from your approach to them. Though that is going to be the only way you're going to find out what type of Women are attracted to your personality and your appearance.

Finally, forget dating app's. Unless you're the top 5% tall guy with a six pack and a fantastic smile you're wasting your time and money.

Time that is better spent approaching women and learning.

You can use static link in C/C++ although you may find that the DLL you're statically linking tend to dynamically load the underlying DLL anyway that defeats the purpose.

In most C/C++ world, you're better dynamically linking anyway due to most prior to Visual Studio 2012 it would determine the Service Pack/Dependencies of your host operating system and include that into the exe manifest.
