> RAII and scope are both core ideas in c++ and always have been. I would say that's debatable. RAII definitely dates back to the earliest days of C++, but you don't have to know it in order to use the language. Even today th

I would think that they're referring more to the rumbling sound of a small two-stroke engine idling as opposed to a chainsaw running at full throttle while cutting wood. Here in the southeast US, at least, it not unusual to describe t

Yes and no. In theory it would be totally fine to "allocate" a stack that was exobytes in size (or whatever extremely large number). Thanks to virtual memory no one really cares... if that memory isn't actually being used.

Your knowledge of the .Net ecosystem is a bit out of date. It's had first class support for mac and linux for 7-8 years now.

To be honest it sounds like you're making a damned good argument in favor of mandatory AEB. You're risking a collision because you assume that the car that's turning will behave in the way you expect it to behave (no judgemen

Surprised no one has pointed it out, but the queries involve Pokémon. According to a quick Google search there are a grand total of ~800 different Pokémon. You aren't wrong, but a table scan over 800 rows isn't exactly worth worry

Does your app really only have one kind of user (maybe it does, I'm just asking)? My company doesn't get too deep into formal user personas stuff, but we understand that different people use our software to accomplish different g

You are correct. Mono is still an alternative runtime for .Net. It hasn't been merged into .Net and I'm not aware of any plans to do so.

I mean of course, starting a new job involves signing tons of paperwork. Employee agreements, IT security policies, sometimes codes of conduct or confidentiality agreements... but no contract.

Usually when you get a job offer you'll be sent an offer letter stating role, salary, start date, etc. Often companies ask you to sign it when you accept the offer, but those letters always include language explicitly stating that they

Whether an LLM actually learns is completely tangential to the topic at hand. A human coder who learned from copyrighted code and then reproduced that code (intentionally or not) would be in violation of the copyright. This is why project

I'm not really arguing that your pattern _doesn't work_, I just think you've created an unnecessary new pattern to solve an already solved problem. Using expressions with lambdas is pretty standard in C# when you need to ref

If you're worried about someone doing something other than calling a method in the lambda it's pretty straightforward to use an Expression<Func<T, TResult>> and validate the contents of the expression. Seems like that

Ironically in my area at least (NC) this is handled better in my parent's rural area than it is in the [small] city where I live with city garbage and recycling pick up. In their county (which is all rural) each community has a small

Fighters like the Hornet use HOTAS (Hands On Throttle And Stick) which places buttons, 4-way switches, or other controls (mini joysticks, etc.) under most of the fingers. So pilots have something like 30+ commands that they can perform at a

Japan has Patriot systems and several Aegis equipped ships, and both of those have ABM capability. Ballistic missiles are just much harder to shoot down than normal surface to surface or air launched missiles, especially when you’re using

To be fair, what transfers is determined by the school you're transferring to. Then on top of that you have to match up the requirements for your major, i.e. you might have a CC science course that is accepted by the university but do

High altitude nuclear detonations cause powerful EMP effects over a large area. The US famously discovered this by accident in the 60s with the Starfish Prime nuclear tests, which caused EMP damage in Hawaii almost 1000 miles from the deton

I'm sort of the opposite of GP. Having worked with SQL Server the first 5-6 years I've transitioned to using Postgres more over the last 3-4 years and really prefer it. That said SQL has some nice features, off the top of more hea

Modern .Net is pretty focused on web apps. Many of us never need to touch C++, GPU, or the other things you mentioned. I've been using Visual Studio for almost 20 years and IMO Rider is simply a superior C# IDE. It's been my daily
