perhaps a better answer is that it reserved a word so that the people coming up with c++ didn't have to worry about existing code using it in variable names and the like

I love it when they do it and are also wrong about it. gives me an excuse to pull up the standard on my iPad. bonus points if it's the CTO and the CEO is also there (<3 startups). for some reason I've never gotten an offer after correcting someone who has been excessively wrong on trivia questions they ask. :shrug:

schedule late in the afternoon, duck out a little early; use a vacation day for on sites

or if you're interviewing for jobs on the west coast and are on the east coast you can phone interviews after dinner in your time zone that are still during the work day pst

hmm, thankfully i have forgotten how many hardware sprites the amiga had. 4? 8? and the size was maybe 16x16 in the old chipset and something like 32 or 64 pixels wide in aga.
"bob" means "blitter object" though, right?

forgetting even trivial that kind of shallow nerdy knowledge has still taken 2 decades.

who knows. I figured out how to set up a VSprite list and can just use my board setup routines from the ST version of reversi because they're both 320x200 and do 16x16 3-color sprites
