A crushed bit of paper could be a "missile." The mass media put its thumb on the scale, lambasting phenomena by reforging certain words to create a culture of fear and taboo using such example words as "hacker", "te

I bought 2 new retail boxed WOF 7402's in 2020 for $734.54 USD each. 96 threads and 256 MiB L3 total, decent single- and multi-core performance. So I can't currently justify upgrading to (used) 7742/7702/7H12, much les

Apart from CYOA, I think a hypertext "book" would be the most effective way to dynamically scale detail preferences without resorting to skimming or skipping. Some people want more or less evidence based on their level of skeptici

Fenders and such. A major problem is this bridge was designed and built in an era where ships were substantially smaller (3000 TEU) than they are today (20000 TEU).

Your math appears off by an order of magnitude. KE = ½mv^2. [J] Ship KE = 0.5 * (114000 short tons) * (7.5 knots)^2 = ~7.7e8 J. 747 KE = 0.5 * (510,000 lbs) * (560 mph)^2 = ~7.25e9 J. 747 avg weight = (MTOW + OEW) / 2 = ~510,000 lbs

Ouch. There are 3rd-party rekeyers who have specialized duplication machines, which hopefully can do new keys. Also, new Lexuses contain a lot of plastic in the exterior, which makes them prone to deteriorating more quickly even if garaged.

C++14 is a safe bet. C++17 is almost pushing it. C++23 isn't even fully implemented by any compiler. I tend to default to C++11 with C++[11,23]-portability. In general, write maximally portable code without using vendor- or standard-sp
