If the punishment for “failing” the test is having to wear this thing - good luck getting people to test. You would also need to legislate mandatory testing.

The term you’re looking for is “Merkle tree”. Git and Bitcoin are both Merkle trees.

"For life" is such a misleading statement I'm surprised companies get away with using it without running into legal trouble. It most definitely does not mean that your jacket is guaranteed to last as long as you're alive

Because if you can check how your vote was counted, you may be coerced to check it with, say, your boss standing behind your back - so, your vote is no longer secret. But, of course, voting by mail is even worse, and most of the US seems to

One big difference (which the article seems to mostly ignore) is that the shortest project was written by a single developer, while all others were a team effort. Having the whole project - design, architecture, all implementation details -

If we're going to legalize something - how about requiring that airlines (or their insurance) compensate passengers for all expenses related to restoring their stuff lost in an accident? Then the choice is also simple, and it sounds wa

Getters/setters are useful. E.g. maybe you had a class 'Box' with a field 'area'. Later you added fields 'width' and 'height'. What are you going to do? Change 'area' to 'getArea()

Those priorities are self-contradictory. If you prioritize performance over maintainability, you're sacrificing long-term correctness, which is supposed to be your #1 priority. PS. Also, "C++ Coding Guidelines"? This is neith

USSR did a similar reform in 1991, so called Pavlov Reform. There were three days to exchange 100 RUR bills (the largest bill in circulation) and there was a limit on how much one could exchange. https://en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F

Life adapts. If we put enough people out there and give it enough time, evolution will take care of health problems. Especially given that cosmic radiation should increase mutation rates. Of course, this is not a short-term project.

How are we protecting human-driven trucks right now? They are equally easy to stop (simply standing in the road works just as well) and are even easier to take control of (one can always put a gun to driver's head and ask him to hand o

There's an infinite number of ways to digitize a painting. What if you invented, say, a new algorithm to calculate colors from bayer pattern? Or an entirely new sensor (as, e.g. Foveon, did)? Or, maybe, a new lighting scheme that produ

I would guess most people use C web frameworks for embeddability, not performance. The use case is to add a web-based UI to some C/C++ application or device, think configuration UI of your router or something of this sort. My go to sol

That will help if there is a value to return - but then it's not much better than just returning something invalid, like a NULL pointer. If the only return value is success/failure you need compiler support (1) to ensure it's
