It likely is the case that most GPS receives, even aviation class ones just accept signals. Until a couple years ago this was a theoretical issue that few real world people ever dealt with. Military class GPS likely has some form of protec

Who said a GPS jammer is okay? They are highly illegal in the US and the FCC will hand out large fines when they find one. GPS jammers are cheap though and so it is unlikely the FCC will catch the majority of users. Though most GPS jamming

It is multiple layers of approval, but there is no reason to think they wouldn't approve this. At least not from the limited information I have. The approval is about covering themselves, so if they won't get sued (either becaus

I can't recall any time I have seen a public restroom with a knob to exit instead of a push or pull handle. Even office buildings don't have a knob on the door. The closest I've ever seen is train and airplane bathrooms where

I have a policy of "innocent until proven guilty". (even proven guilty doesn't mean guilty, but by that time so much evidence has been examined that odds are high enough to finally say guilty). All too often somebody pushes

Go read it yourself. There isn't enough information to draw concussions. Everything is consistent with contact with a major funder who you can't cut off just because of evil in a part of life you knew nothing about. You can read t

That still doesn't mean anything. Sure we know Epstein did evil, but not everything he did was evil. One should assume at least a few people he interacted with had no reason to suspect his evil actions.

The most important thing is they know how to report issues and have assurance that reports will not hurt them. If you can show other reports were acted on and the reporter not harmed that helps. It also helps to always have more than one pe

Modules have just reached to the point where the tooling is all ready for people to adopt. Right now we are seeing the early adopters start to use modules. We are still waiting to see what they report. They are certainly a major change to h

I'm no expert. my understanding though is that one of the reasons for contracts is solvers cannot possibly handle all the possible states of a program. if you can throw a contract in places they can break your whole program into subset

It happens all the time in newer suburbs. Schools, particularly elementary schools, are almost always built inside of neighborhoods where all the local kids will be walking to school. Now, there are still buses, probably somewhere between a

When was the last time you met somebody who only walked all thier life? Never rode a horse because only the rich could afford such things. When was the last time you had no food? Starvation used to be a real problem. I'm not taking abo

The only complaints I've heard about modules that is real is it took some time to be ready. Everything to use is from people who don't use C++ and want to pick on it.

I specifically said I don't do CAD. My IDE doesn't need all those special effects. Nor does my web browser - I'm happy with what lynx can do as a web browser for most things since I want information not pretty.

The only required enforcement is runtime (even then it is optional). However nothing stops the compiler from detecting a violation at compile and time failing because of an error (or perhaps warning?) There is a lot of interest in static a

I have long had the policy that I close the window as soon as those pop up. I'm hoping that enough people join me that eventually somebody finds data that a significant (minority) of people just close them and so they are not worth it

If I have more experience than you that means you have no experience at all. I've never used contracts in anything (not even a toy). I've been following contracts in hopes that they can be the next step in my quality journey, b

That is one use where either can be used. However contracts cover a lot of other cases (and as the other replies point out contracts are probably the wrong answer here - a concept is your right answer allow someone else to write a new/

Contracts are written such that the compiler can diagnose a detected violation if it wants to. However most contracts realistically need whole program analysis to diagnose and no compiler can do that - you want a separate static analysis f

Everybody has their own ideas of what they want from Contracts. C++26 contracts are trying to get a minimal system that everybody can agree on. The current contracts are not good enough for anybody who wants them - but it is good enough t

I don't have a good answer to this problem. The reality is security is becoming very important - for good reasons. If you (as an organization) are spending all your time chasing CVEs instead of the other useful things (such as what yo

If something is hard do it more often so you get good at it. While this time you avoided something, it sounds like you need to figure out your patching process ASAP. There is every reason to believe a major issue will affect everything in

Even if the CVE doesn't currently apply to you, how can you be sure? Is the CVE in code that only runs on vmware; or does the code also run on EC2 - it will just be a few more weeks before someone figures out how to exploit it there.

That is only recently become an option you could try, and we don't know long term how well it will work. Remember laws may change (and there are some legal issues around LLMs that are not clear at all)

The reason for your own currency is you can set your own interest rates to fit your local economy. If you are in a local recession while others are doing well you might want lower interest rates, while others need them higher. Both places
