Мною двигало представление о том, что на дешевых комплектующих можно было добиться 100% рентабельности, а на дорогих 20%, и речь шла о том, что лучше иметь 20% и чистую совесть, чем 100%, зная, что некоторые покупатели тебя матерят. Чтобы торговать в убыток себе - такого не помню.

Но point твой понял. Можно решить зарабатывать меньше денег в обмен на нематериальные ценности. Но такое решение должно быть принято на самом высшем уровне.

Maybe. Ask them.
А ты помнишь, как в юности ты хотел сделать магазин, который бы продавал высококачественные вещи (речь тогда шла о компьютерах). И тебе было все равно, что это может быть не окупалось, и что дешевые компьютеры продавать было гораздо выгоднее. Вспомни свое состояние тогда. Что тобой двигало?

Это видна ул.Энтузиастов, рядом с ул.Сони Кривой? Я правильно понял? Могу сделать фото как это выглядит сейчас через 34 года.

Yes, it has this style of historical romans, I also tempted to read it as a real legend or a story based on some historical events. And this is the genius of Gorkyi: normally you wouldn't associate heart with something light radiating. But they way he describes it, you can almost visually see and immediately believe it.

I love this story about Danko. In the school I thought, it is about Dacians, because in the time of "Romanisation" many of dacians flew into the forests and mountais. But Gorkyi whrote this story while he was in Georgia, so I´m not shure now :)

Haha, they already starting bashing Firefox. Today I've read two articles complaining about poor Firefox security. The one claimed that Firefox didn't prevent a passive XSS while Chrome and IE did. Another one claimed that Firefox doesn't support modern version of TLS while other browsers do.

Ja - nach all dieser Ungerechtigkeit die Jesus in seinen letzten Tagen ertragen musste das alles vergeben zu können ist einfach unvorstellbar. Selbst ist es wirklich schwer da auch nur im Entferntesten ran zu kommen. Aber auch wenn wir es nicht schaffen/nicht perfekt sind - er vergibt auch uns.

Yes. But do they failed because of being way ahead of time, because of poor execution - or because of a fundamental flaw in the business model?

It reminds me of one thing: AOL - they had much of the above - and failed :-)

Thanks!

Heh, this formula "C and C++" or its more often used variant "C/C++"... I consider it a smart marketing gag of C++ advocates. The user experience of C++ coding is so much different from the one of C coding as Objective C's one... And speaking about the progress, I don't believe any amount of progress can help C++. In my opinion, its syntax is DOA. Whenever I have choice, I would choose C over C++ (as well as Ruby over Python and C# over Java).

I don't really feel myself an expert in C. Theoretically, there are the new standards C99 and C11, but both are extremely cosmetic to my eyes. The former introduces a boolean type (but ifs and whiles are still happily accepting any other types) and guaranteed-bit-size numbers; the latter isn't even that much useful at all. No matter what, when working with a lot of open-source code, I can't see that either C99 or C11 have a distinct popularity among developers, so that their existence could be safely ignored for legacy and open-source projects.

I do really pretty much like glib, gobject, as well as their containers and data structure types. This is the only structured approach to design a modern software development foundation and naming conventions for C that I know. But I think one can really appreciate glib, only if one has already tried (and failed) to develop on a pure C or using some random libraries, because from the C# developer point of view, the glib usability and feature set is still inferior to .NET.

Good reading! I'm orienting towards cross- and/or multiplatform software and also getting back to the C and C++ world these days. Lots of bad childhood memories coming back to me ;)

What you write about here seems to be the same as I remember about C from 5-10 years back. Is there such a thing as "modern C" or is all the progress happening in C++, leaving the C world is still stuck in time as a legacy platform?
