FWIW, in Tanenbaum's original paper (which the author is reading), the correct meaning of the example is given quite plainly: "consider a simple UNIX pipeline: sort <infile | uniq | wc -l >outfile that sorts infile, an ASCII

Yes, this part is super relevant to answer WHY it is written the way it is. C++ has a lot of nice ideas under the hood, but the syntax and reading experience definitely isn't ideal because of the desire for backwards compatibility (whi

You're definitely not thick! This is getting a bit into the weeds of lower-level C++, but it is useful. So what delete is doing is explicitly saying that a given method (with a particular signature) is defined to not exist. It's u

Nobody is arguing that usong a subset of tests won't catch all bugs. They are stating that having X% code coverage does not imply that you will be able to catch X% of bugs (at least, of the trivial type they introduced here) so you sh

These bots have moved through a few company splits / mergers / acquisitions, but for a while these were made by iRobot (along with the mentioned Packbot). When I was working there, these used to be a fun one to bring to schools we

Not Excel: the spreadsheet software, Excel: the verb. They aren't saying that they "canned" Excel (the software), they are saying that neural nets have the potential to perform well on tasks involving tabular data that are tr

Amazon does it in dollars. Employees have a target comp figure in dollars, the annual stock refreshers are based on the price of the stock at that time, so if you got 100 units one year, and the stock doubles, all things being equal, you wo

On top of what other folks said, the warehouse folks not getting stock is a fairly recent development (2018, when minimum wage was raised). They do have a shockingly high turnover rate, but not sure if there is much that can be said about t

I think they may be conflating Focus and PIP/Pivot, since they mention 35% w.r.t. focus later in the article.

They are stating that they would put 19A of load on a 15A rated socket. E.g. creating an obvious safety hazard that should be caught and addressed.

Is this because the finger protocol is defined such that it must use ASCII, and not UTF-8? (Honest question, have not used finger in a looooong time) https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1288#section-2.2

Not quite the same, but apt commands like apt-get require user interaction to confirm what you are about to do, unless you explicitly add a "-y" / "--yes" to the command.

The trick here is that with heat pumps, they aren't generating the heat, just moving it. As such, you can have, e.g. a 1 kW heat pump moving much more than 1 kW of heat. Wheras with a resistive heater, the best you can do is turn 1 kW

Seconding folks re: some of the advantages on latency, efficiency, etc. I also wouldn't describe it as "just" a emulator, or to think of it as something interpreting / emulating some digital logic. It's much lower l

I wouldn't say they are less limited, so much as you are able to trade your money for resources a lot faster.. You can scale quickly, but at some point the monthly cloud bill come due, and code optimization starts to look a little more

Take a look at my reply above. Your right it isn't built into the language, but it does come with a helper method, std::visit, which does take into account that you've accounted for all possible variant types, and will throw a com

To paraphrase a joke I heard before, the only difference between an Analog Engineer and a Digital Engineer, is the analog engineer knows they are working on analog circuits.
