Hey Ben, what (refs/books/lectures) would you recommend for someone who is interested to learn theory behind these kind of DBs and implement it from scratch?

Thanks, but under "systems" I meant systems programming, not sysadmin stuff. At the moment I'm working on a great gig, I just shared my experience of finding good remote gigs in general.

Also, one thing to remember - jobs are not constant entities, you could have find them in this month but half of them would disappear for next month... i.e. timing matters.

In my experience, finding remote jobs for popular techs are quite easy (mobile apps dev, web dev). But it is a challenge to find some good remote job for non-web, e.g. C++/systems/desktop dev.

I wander how many of them accept overseas (Europe) candidates...

Yes, personal experience and watching other people around me as well. Mostly, hard is boring, i.e. when you don't have enough interest to pursue it. As for math - it is not just about being good, but also the process itself - of becoming good, i.e. learning. When this process seems interesting and fun, I doubt someone will say it is hard.

E.g. for many people, literature classes or some other humanities stuff is hard.

It is not. Nothing is hard if you are interested i.e. have fun out of it. It is about personal preferences, what you enjoy and what you don't. That's it.

I've first encountered these techniques in Alexandrescu's Modern C++ Design. The most interesting for me was how one arrives to such solutions [in C++]. Later, I read SICP (which was the first time I touched FP) and everything got much more sense...

Google Play store publishing service from a credible HN user. Allowing devs from unsupported countries to sell apps.

Thank you for the detailed answer. Handling copyrights and exclusiveness sounds bad to me... Did you try first to sell your videos independently?

Interesting, how is pricing decided?

I meant that the canonical quicksort algorithm which Hoare came up uses in-place partitioning. Probably you can still call "quicksort" to these nice snippets (be it in Prolog, Erlang or Haskell), but mentioning the fact about the deviation from the canonical implementation could be useful for readers.

Maybe we should all learn to always prepend "Pseudo" to these "quicksorts"?

One question for long time Emacs users - do you notice any significant changes compared to e.g. 10 or 20 years ago versions of Emacs? Same question applies to vim users I believe...

Like, for instance, there are huge advancements from MSVC 97 to MSVC 2013...

Hm, is it normal in Berlin to live at some place for many years and still renting the apartment? Instead of buying/owning it...

I wanted to underline that Computer Science is not about computers... I think even if computers didn't exist this branch of mathematics still would evolve.

But to follow the original intent of the poster - other professions I'd be interested: Pure mathematics, Music, Chemistry and Mechanical Engineering.

Computer Science

Glad to hear it was unmanned!

If only this was built in Dart... or at least TypeScript.

It is frustrating that most people here don't care about this...

Why not Dart? or at least TypeScript?

Exactly. This is one of the main reasons for me as well - creating things without buying or manufacturing physical materials.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned that terrible font... Any chance you could fix it?

Well, to follow your line - virtual functions can also be implemented with some function pointer stuff within C. We're not discussing implementing various C++ stuff in C, we're talking about C++ itself.

Having access to private data (implementation details) is another reason to have a member function.

Unless you're a fan of `friend` keyword ;)

Well, the key thing is the `reason` here. In C++ we use RAII, so this is the reason to have a member constructor/destructor functions instead of non-member create_something(...)/destroy_something(...) (aka C style).

But, for instance, `sort` is a good candidate to have outside of a class - and it actually is a global function - std::sort.

I'd also prefer "intersect(s1, s2)" if C++ had multimethods...

But to follow the line of Bjarne's advice (I've also heard same from Stepanov): One should prefer non-member functions. i.e. there must be some real reason for some function to become a member of a class.

Drop me an email please (in profile), with App Annie statistics if possible.

Any thoughts why iOS version didn't take off?

Consider RSS.

Nice project!

How is it going? Any jumps in user signups count after posting on HN?
