Why you should never have to call super.Foo() in an Foo overload.

This is a classic example of poorly structured points of customisation.

For example, when you have:

class Base
{

virtual void Foo();

This is my technical interview cheat sheet. Feel free to fork it or do whatever you want with it. PLEASE let me know if there are any errors or if anything crucial is missing. I will add more links soon.

ANNOUNCEMENT

I have moved this over to the Tech Interview Cheat Sheet Repo and has been expanded and even has code challenges you can run and practice against!

Using the 'splice' syscall from Python, in this demonstration to transfer the output of some process to a client through a socket, using zero-copy transfers. See 'splice.py'. Usage: 'python splice.py' in one console, then e.g. 'nc localhost 9009' in another. 'nonblocking.py' is a demonstration of using 'splice' with non-blocking IO.

Lots of code is similar to 'splice.py', take a look at that module for more
documentation.

Mathematics: What do grad students in math do all day?

Mathematics: What do grad students in math do all day?

by Yasha Berchenko-Kogan

A lot of math grad school is reading books and papers and trying to understand what's going on. The difficulty is that reading math is not like reading a mystery thriller, and it's not even like reading a history book or a New York Times article.

The main issue is that, by the time you get to the frontiers of math, the words to describe the concepts don't really exist yet. Communicating these ideas is a bit like trying to explain a vacuum cleaner to someone who has never seen one, except you're only allowed to use words that are four letters long or shorter.

What can you say?
