It is not an excuse. Those early wrong statements have cause irreparable harm that's still ongoing. If all they wanted was to ensure health professionals get it first they should have SAID so (lots of responsible people in this country

And that's assuming people cannot find satisfaction in maintaining things. Personally I do find it satisfying to be "polishing" the same software for a long time. Iron out bugs, make performance improvements here and there, u

Yes, the "consumers" should be exempted, not anyone selling solutions to do this or just giving them up for free. Which essentially means that unless you are an uber hacker that does this for their iPhones, nobody else can do it.

I recommend people watch Ad Vitam (it's on Netflix). It shows a society where ageless/disease-free immortality has been achieved.

I used to bike a lot to work (around ~100 miles a week) but since WFH I haven't been able to motivate myself to do as much. I can barely go out once a week for a more strenuous ride than a commute was but still only amounts to maybe 20

One thing that helped a lot was that by having a commute I had a pretty good excuse to bike, it only took slightly longer than driving and it provided a break between work and home, to give me more time to adjust between the 2 modes. Not ha

It seems to me the only conclusion we can draw by studying Sweden is that Sweden's policy may have worked for their country for the studied timeline. Let's see if it continues to work going forward. We can't say for sure that

Plus, just because some policy works for some country (for some specific time period) it doesn't mean it will work for another. There are way too many differences in factors that affect virus propagation for the same policy to be effec

I sincerely hope they do so that the rate of infections in the general population is low enough that my limited exposure to other people when grocery shopping once every 2 weeks is low enough risk that I won't catch it.

People are different and they have different needs and skills. Working in meatspace is different from working remotely so those needs and skills may better match one model or the other. That is, SWEs aren't bug tracking robots that onl

That's the reason they move there but may not be the reason they stay there. Once you change something in your life that allows you to take advantage of new opportunities, the latter may become the reason to support the change more tha

Right, that's why atomic ints are not a replacement for volatile when doing inter-process communication. If the memory access (load or store) itself is the desired behavior, you better make sure you add volatile, even to atomic<int&

This is standard "avoid risky legal language" training at any big company. Whether they might have a monopoly or not.

No but once regulators determine (based on other criteria) that it IS a monopoly, then all those internal messages that seemed to agree with that will be used as proof that the company "knew" about it so the fines will be much lar

The engineering effort required to split up a mammoth code base where everything has been written based on those assumptions about the rest of the codebase is making such a split extremely unlikely to succeed. We're not talking about a

I think adding external projects to a C++ project is a major decision that should be taken very carefully and the amount of research you need to do to make such a decision pales in comparison with just how exactly you integrate it in your p

There isn't any standard C++ ABI but there is a de-facto standard ABI that many compiler writers have agreed upon (icc, clang, gcc), funny enough it was developed for Itanium originally: https://itanium-cxx-abi.github.io&#x2

But do you agree that Rust stole many things from C++? Because that was his point, the whole argument about developers identifying with their work seems to sidetrack the original discussion.

That's definitely technically doable but that doesn't require Google in the mix. You clicked and went to a website that used those databases and your browser to fingerprint and identify you. Not sure how Google also having this da

So Apple created a very desirable platform for developers by enforcing a set of "arbitrary" rules and being in complete control of it. Now developers want Apple to open up those rules. That seems contradictory to me. Now, don&#x27

And Steam (unless you have a very popular game) and GOG. But it's easy to argue that many of these just derived their rates from what existing similar store fees were. Epic Game Store tried to disrupt this and they're still at it

Can you point to some independent comparisons that provide support for the "superb quality" statement for RTX GPUs vs x264? The reason I'm asking is that's not what I expect from my experience. The main issue here is the
