The RAM of the OnePlus 2 uses a lower operating voltage than its predecessor, decreasing from 1.2V to 1.1V. And with speeds up to 32 GB/s, it is also twice as fast as the LPDDR3. I might have to wait a little longer to get a new device.

Aye, if Shakespeare were alive today, it would be:
To purchase or not to purchase, that is the question:
Whether 'tis better in the mind to suffer
the slings and arrows of my current technology
Or to take the plunge against a new sea of troubles
And by buying them, end the old ones. To invest, to migrate ---
etc etc etc

I mean, to wait for it to get released.  It is not out yet.

Yes I know.
Well, try this one:
Dear tech, you got to let me know
Should I wait or should I buy?
If you say that you are mine
I'll be here 'til the end of time
So you got to let me know
Should I wait or should I buy?
The constant question, even when it does come out, is of course, gee, should I wait until the next release (when hopefully the bugs are worked out) or the next newfangled thing?

Some claim that Windows 8.1 has only now just become more popular than XP, but is that really true? "Good-night, sweet prince; and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest."

I think they're counting all the old crap computers sitting in basements that people can't bring themselves to throw out as 'installed base' for XP...we have a couple of those here.

While working with these people I started to notice that the better programmers (not necessarily the seniors) seemed to understand certain concepts much better than others. Pointers. Why did it have to be pointers?

Sorry, just don't entirely agree with this. So because I don't know how to write the underlying drivers and firmware that stores data on disk I should never use a "File" API??!? What balderdash!

You didn't build your latest-generation CPU from scratch, starting with a pile of sand?! 
Its only hardware...
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

And that's because the developer who wrote it didn't provide adaquate documentation... sooo... yeah, don't use it.

I'm not sure I agree with you. Even something complicated, I know enough of how it might work that with some hand waving and magical incantations, I could at least describe the concept in pseudo code if not outright re-implement, given enough time.
So yeah, his statement is a bit too dramatic, but one should at least, IMO, be able to describe the theory of what's going on. Or, as I recently answered in an interview regarding how garbage collection works: "I used to know how garbage collection works, but really, if I need to know the gory details, I can always google that." But I did talk briefly of IDisposable and unmanaged resources, which appeased the natives.

Of course, I agree. But that's not what the author wrote now did he? What he wrote is basically "don't even try to drive a car unless you can build one from the ground up, including mining the materials, smelting the steel, extracting rubber from the trees and making glass."
Pffft!

"
A linked list is probably the most basic data structure in computer science and is the main building block that other data structures consist of.
Knowing this you should be able to develop and algorithm that, given the head node, will return the reversed node.
"
He doesn't seem to know about arrays. 
I don't think I ever wrote a singly-linked list -- because I always wrote doubly-linked lists, every time.
If you think you need a feature, like reversing, you're better off building it right in (using a little more space) rather than wasting time to do it. We're always getting more space, but we're never getting more time.

Not everyone works on desktops or servers. Micro-controllers, for example, are inherently memory-limited, and adding memory can involve a major redesign, additional cost to the customer, delays in time to market, or all of the above. In these cases, you had better know the space-efficient algorithms, too.

In modern environments, a linked list is frequently non-optimal, as it encourages non-locality, hence cache misses. Of course, there remain uses, where the size of nodes is typically large, but frequently a vector should be the first weapon of choice.
(Except in .NET of course, where a List<T> is for some reason stored as a vector (i.e. not linked). )

The latest tests show the company lags behind the leaders in malware detection. On the other hand, it leads on the "how much will it cost?" test
