<0> so, why can't you use managed code?
<1> well I dont know
<1> it was an example, from what I know I dont think I could
<0> why not?
<2> evening
<3> how can i convert an LPCSTR to LPCWSTR?
<4> ok so char string to wchar_t string
<4> Look at the MultiByte functions (or however those were called..)
<5> http://www.overlawyered.com/2004/10/ninth_circuit_marine_mammals_d.html
<5> oh man
<5> I hope people are here to see that one.
<6> This is really crazy
<6> I mean crazy once in a while is fine
<0> ...heh
<6> But this is crazy in the bureacratic, stiff-necked, suit & neck-tie, courtroom context
<7> heh
<7> when are they going to rule on whether or not JBlitzen is a human
<6> Guys... does it ever happen that you release a software and there is a bug in it?
<8> Never! ;)
<6> boo hoo hoo hooo...
<7> it's impossible, for i am without flaw
<9> IRR often the author doesn't get to make the decision
<6> The boss blows his top whenever there is a bug
<6> I hate non-tech managerial type bosses.
<9> so tell him to get HIS *** in there and help debug
<6> The guy has a charted accountant background
<9> or quit making schedules that are impossible to meet
<6> How the hell is he qualified to say that bugs shouldn't appear?
<6> Well schedules don't exist
<6> Its inhouse projects and I deliver in reasonable time.
<6> But its like you add 10 fancy features and there are 2 bugs.
<6> And I get whacked for the 2 bugs and not get appreciated for the innovation.
<6> I wonder if it'll be possible for me to work in his vicinity...
<7> i agree with vic
<7> get him to write it without bugs
<9> well, you can always tell him that you can do HIS job, but he can't do yours, so STFU
<9> that's ***uming you could do accountant cl*** stuff
<6> He has other weasal developers who'd say tsk tsk this is soo sad.
<6> Bugs shouldn't be...
<6> Even if we have to screw architecture and client requirements, and deliver crap, but it should be working crap
<9> bugs _shouldn't_ be
<6> With no bugs
<9> well, is there any testing being done?
<6> I am sure I could do accounting work after some practice.
<6> Initially I'll screw up a little bit.
<6> I don't have a tester. I do it myself.
<9> very bad management style
<6> But these are mostly deployment issues
<9> the author should NEVER be in charge of testing
<6> precisely vawjrwrk
<6> You know, I believe that but you are the first to vindicate this.
<6> Other than what I read in "Microsoft Secrets"
<5> huh?
<9> it's patently obvious that the author (even doing his/her best) will inadvertently not test areas that are suspect
<5> where have you been IRR?
<5> My whole career here is verification
<9> and will test the hell outta stuff that is solid
<5> seperating testing from development
<5> that's what I've been doing for the last 5 years.
<9> and he's even good at it, IRR
<5> creating test environments.
<9> but mostly for hardware, right?
<5> It's not some secret
<5> the guy who develops shouldn't be trusted to test.
<5> yeah, all hardware.
<6> Noidea you were not ***igned to a development task with a $800/month budget.
<9> and that's not to impugn the integrity of the author(s)
<5> No
<5> but, even from when I wrote software
<5> as the author of the software
<5> you just don't do the same stupid things a user might
<5> and, more importantly
<5> it's good to get someone else in there to interpret the spec
<5> and set up the tests based on their own understanding
<5> or in modeling
<5> to have someone else do it their own way
<6> Look I say this: Microsoft has more testers (probably) than they have developers.
<5> Anyway, IRR, bugs are inevitable
<5> anyone who thinks otherwise is stupid.
<6> They release hundreds of thousands of betas for their products.
<5> But, before adding new features
<5> you should clear it with management.
<6> Yet look at the bug issues reported and service packs released.
<5> Let them make the call
<5> so it's their responsibility
<6> And no one questions the quality of MS work. They are the best at the job.
<5> say, I can add this feature, but it might add some bugs
<5> heh
<6> Noidea I am not very well positioned atm to get another job.
<5> lots of people question the quality of MS work.
<5> ummm, I didn't say quit IRR
<5> I said, clear new features with your manager.
<5> make him responsible for it.
<6> They don't want to listen.
<6> Which is why I jumped ahead :D
<5> are you responsible if the project fails?
<6> I can't work full time due to my studies.
<5> I mean, will it hurt you if the project is lacking in features?
<6> And finding part time dev. work is difficult in FR.
<6> Noidea boss asks to add certain features. I add them.
<9> "no one questions the quality of MS work" ??? are you joking?
<9> or are you meaning we all know how messed up it is
<5> Well, set the expectations up front IRR
<6> ok fine I take that back vawjrwrk
<5> when he says he needs the features
<5> tell him how long it will take you to add them
<5> and how long it will take you to adequately test.
<9> and that the testing should be done by someone else
<5> and, I'd put it out there that it'd be better if someone else tested too.
<6> He'll get another developer who'll give half the estimate...
<6> Just to look good
<9> fine
<6> And that'll screw my credibility
<9> let him get ****ed when he can't deliver
<9> you're falling into a trap
<5> well, IRR can't afford to lose the job.
<5> yeah, he's kind of stuck.
<5> I had this same issue at AMD
<6> It wouldn't help me. I need work to log my hours.
<5> I left.
<9> the OTHER guy's credibility will plummit after he cannot deliver
<6> vawjrwrk not necessarily. YOu have to understand Pakistani psychology vawjrwrk.
<9> no I don't
<9> I've seen this happen (exactly this) many time
<6> Its a nation with an unparalleled capacity for peer-to-peer evil
<5> you're in Pakistan IRR?
<6> Noidea in France
<6> working for a US company run by a Pakistani
<9> they can't fire you in France
<6> With a majority of Pakistani developers.
<5> yeah
<5> that's what I was about to say
<5> anyway, lunch time.
<6> I am not employed in France.
<9> you're "just there" eh?
<6> I am not a registered employee anywhere. Thats what probably makes me competitive.
<6> vawjrwrk yeah. Nothing on paper.
<6> well brb in 10 mins
<7> that doesn't sound particuarlly legal
<7> well, i guess one doesn't *have* to have a contract as long as all the tax information is reported correctly by worker and company (***uming france has a similar system), though i'm not a lawyer
<9> oh, tax laws
<10> guys
<10> any good website of c++ for beginers ?
<7> not sure about websites, but vic has a great list of must-have books
<9> there's a link from the website in the topic
<11> I don't have a legal work status in france
<7> all the more reason to work there?
<6> And I can't register this job as a job.
<6> Because if you have a job, you can get a work permit easily.
<6> So one option is to find a job in FR and then apply
<6> Maybe I'll find work in Rennes or Nantes
