<0> Nice link, kiwi_
<1> just out of curiousity
<1> when two std::strings compare each other, do they call compare function on each character ?
<1> as in 20 chars = 20 func calls ?
<2> depends on the char_traits
<3> school bus hit a tractor trailer in florida, that's unfortunate
<4> for who?
<4> that's a cute link kiwi
<4> very interesting.
<5> ty :)
<3> for the family of the five kids that died, i suppose
<4> wow, 5, huh?
<2> replacing the char_traits can be frustrating though, like it hints at below, I've only ever used it with irc strings, which define scandinavian upper/lower case for some symbols
<4> yeah, I suppose that is kind of sad.
<2> scandinavian-like*
<1> Seems like replacing char_traits make it do more work, and takes away from flexibility of normal std::strings
<4> then
<4> convert
<4> transform, I believe.
<1> yeah
<2> Cloud9: case-insensitive compare simply is more work than case-sensitive, but not prohibitively slow
<2> 20 function calls can be optimized away
<1> if they were inlined, it would be good
<2> the whole point of char_traits is to allow them to be inlined
<4> transform damn it!
<2> tolower string = std::string tolower (const std::string &src) { std::string dst(src); std::transform(dst.begin(), dst.end(), dst.begin(), safe_ctype<std::tolower>); return dst; } // make sure to include <string>, <algorithm>, <cctype>, and see also `calc unsigned ctype`
<2> unsigned ctype = <cctype> functions accept only unsigned char values or EOF, but "char" is often signed. When p***ing "char", use safe_ctype<std::tolower>(c) instead of std::tolower(c), where safe_ctype is defined as thus: template <int (&F) (int)> int safe_ctype (unsigned char c) { return F(c); }
<2> but you should probably use the tolower from <locale>
<2> unfortunately, std::strings don't provide a char* to use that version from <locale>
<6> use what version?
<2> the one that takes a char_type*
<6> sorry, I just got back... not sure what the topic is
<2> case insensitive strings, still
<6> read Meyers on the topic
<7> evening all.
<3> guess i'll do a second interview with this company
<3> (why they couldn't do the manager interview and then the tech interview one after the other, i'm not sure)
<0> Holy CRAP!
<1> transforms sounds like a good idea
<6> he reproduces an article by Matt Austern
<3> never worked for a small company before (granted, they're owned by a much larger company)
<0> Thread.Sleep(15000)
<3> awesome
<4> you're looking for another new job peterhu?
<4> why?
<0> This is from the supposed "guru" at NCR.
<3> eh, consulting ****s
<7> Solamente: haha.
<2> what's NCR?
<4> what's wrong with that Solamente?
<7> Solamente: hullo, btw.
<6> National Cash Register is it's old name
<7> Hey vawjr.
<0> Hey Moo
<3> POS?
<0> A timer or a waitable object are preferable to sleeping.
<0> Unless you're lazy.
<6> or maybe there's nothing to od
<6> do
<3> sleep should only be used in very important situations: like fixing deadlocking issues!
<4> there's no such thing as deadlocking
<4> and, what if you just wanted to wait for a few seconds
<1> by the way, anyone know how to temporarily realease load lock in DLLMain ?
<4> before trying something again?
<4> see, Solamente, you didn't give us the full context here.
<3> it's a joke you bizzzzzzatch
<7> **** I forgot my router p***word.
<7> Oh well.
<2> it's minda
<2> err, nimda
<3> sigh
<3> just called the recruiter back and left a voice mail
<3> i never remember my cell phone number
<4> wait
<7> where you headed peterhu?
<3> i always sound like an idiot
<4> why are you looking for a job peterhu?
<3> see: consulting ****s
<6> Kniht this is more than you'll want to know aobut "the problem" http://lafstern.org/matt/col2_new.pdf
<2> peterhu: I tell people I carry my card in my wallet to hand out, but it's really to remember my own number
<3> moo-juice, a company called trimble mobile solutions has a position open i'm interviewing for
<3> they make GPS fleet management software
<7> hey, that's my business :)
<2> vawjr: maybe it can save me from that damn intelligence test, I have 18 of 33
<3> with me as a competitor, you're doomed
<6> this pretty much covers the subject like a blanket
<4> I climb with people from Trimble.
<0> heh
<4> you moving out to Cali peterhu?
<6> Dooooooooomed
<4> their offices are across the street from mine
<4> we could be buddies.
<4> and have little lunch dates
<4> ohhhhh, how exciting.
<3> no, this company is a wholey owned subsidiary
<7> peterhu: u have a url?
<3> their building is 15 miles away
<3> not a bad commute
<2> vawjr: thanks
<1> neat link
<3> http://www.trimble.com/vehtrack.shtml
<3> one of the products
<3> there's more
<4> yup
<4> my friend works for their competitor.
<4> Novariant
<7> peterhu: See, that's the kind of client my soon-to-be ex employer would partner with.
<3> trimble mobile solutions was started in 2001 by trimble, and then they bought a local company here in virginia and rebranded it to trimble mobile solutions as well
<3> http://www.trimble.com/about_background_fam.html
<7> See, we'd take their data feed and put it in to the FMS.
<3> sounds like a promising position if they can meet my salary requirements, i think i'll jump ship
<3> considering i'm auditing sharepoint code right now
<7> Well
<7> It's hardly a Fleet managemnet system
<7> more "tracking"
<3> true
<7> which is a small slice of the pie, so to speak.
<7> Which from your perspective is a good thing
<7> as FMS's can be potentially boring as ****.
<7> but if you're just doing GPS stuff, then maybe it's more fun :)
<8> can anyone explain me why in C++ grammar "typeid ( type-id ) " is a postfix-expression, but "sizeof ( type-id ) " is an unary-expression, but not a postfix-expression (at least according to Annex A, section 4 in the standard)?
<4> Trimble doesn't have a fleet.
<7> No, but they claim "Trimble's Telvisant Services provide everything you need for efficient and cost-effective management of your fleet operations"
<7> Truck ODO readings are a small fraction of the operations.
<4> ahhhh
<7> MPG may well be important for some fleets, it's less important for others. But regardless of that, you need some backend tools to take this information and start doing useful comparisons.
<7> State Highway Patrol for example, regularly look at differences between the various Crown Vics
<7> over a monthly cycle.
<7> but they're less concerned about util trucks.
<7> And I doubt this Trimble company can give you decent depreciation calculations or a replacement fund.
<7> I'm probably jumping ahead
<7> but
<7> you can't say it's Fleet Management.
<7> It's "Vehicle tracking", end of.
<4> commas go inside the quotes.
<7> thankyou Wordsworth :)
<4> thank you is 2 words.
<7> blow me.
<4> there you're getting it.
<4> good job.
<7> thank you
<3> tracking was not the only thing their product does, from my interview with them
<7> and it's "there, you're getting it".
<7> peterhu: that doesn't centralise around GPS? :)
<3> yes
<3> their devices also monitor engine, fuel, and payloads, to name a few
<7> Yes
<7> all good realtime stuff.
<7> Useless without a good backend.
<7> an FMS, for example.
