Readit NewsI'm sorry but referring to MFC while referring C++ is a telltale sign you don't really have any meaningful experience in the field. Developing GUI apps for Windows is a breeze with frameworks like Qt. You only suffer if you're a masochist, but the rest of us prefer to pick things that make sense.
How do you manage a 15 million LOC desktop app originating from the late 90s which contains chunks of win32 native, ATL, MFC, custom GDI+ wrappers all sorts?
Aye you fuck off and work somewhere else that's what you do. Which is why it's still written in win32 native, ATL, MFC, custom GDI+ wrappers.
They paid two companies to come in and rewrite it, first in Qt which was a complete failure. Then in Electron etc, which was also a failure.
I don’t mind taking it to Apple for that. It’s less often than my car went back to the dealer for service. And my dealer wouldn’t give me a new car if they fuck up my old one in the process (Apple did this when they broke mine during a battery swap).
The old RAD graphical tools and newer ones like Rebol (that are now dated) show just what is possible. Mathematica is also pretty powerful and doesn't require a ton of code.
I’ll get shot for this one but I write most of my GUIs in Excel these days.
Hm. Mine has been learning how to manage small crops, carpentry and vehicle maintenance.
In the 80s laws were changed to redistribute pensions into Wall Street. I say we do the inverse to Wall Street and expropriate the gains as “fruit of a poisonous tree” with new legislation.
My hedge is to simply be less fucked than the person with no assets and huge debts. The world doesn’t go to shit with a boom but a slow whimper.
Seems impossible to read and verify. Wouldn’t it be simpler and more consistent to have a first parse the IP into an internal format then perform all logic on that?
Someone’s survivorship bias has lead to confirmation they’re ready for anything it seems.
Most Fortune 500s of last generation are gone. Good luck! Count me as one that is not making political choices with yours in mind, and would, in the future, not be honoring some story you have to tell about an unknowable past.
