Kinzhals being intercepted all the time could also be propaganda or missile defense having progressed more than publicly known. It's not a great idea in war to assume your enemy is incompetent (even when they are).

No, hypersonic is a marketing term here that indicates 'difficult to intercept'. It does not imply anything about speed, just automatic or controlled maneuvering later in the stage than normal missiles do.

Yeah it's certainly unimaginable that the civilization that invented gunpowder, cannons, guns, rockets a thousand years ago can make it for cheap now :) 'Hypersonic' missile makes it sound like it's alien technology, no

C++ standards follow a tick-tock schedule for complex features. For the `tick`, the core language gets an un-opinionated iteration of the feature that is meant for compiler developers and library writers to play with. (This is why we someti

Valve started this to have a path towards independence from Windows, just in case Microsoft had locked things down. Not for making devices. The same rationale exists for Epic, and they have spent an enormous amount of resources fighting Goo

This argument would be a great one in 2016. Now though, proton/wine works more or less for everything, and the storefront is a web based one anyway.

For about two months Epic Games Store kept switching me to a different language and currency. None of those languages were familiar to me, and there was no VPN/proxy/etc involved.

25B does not seem anywhere near enough for this, but good luck to Terafab! This is something the world really needs, we have produced neither compute nor memory at the scale needed for the last 5 years. I imagine they'll find recruitme

Well great news, you can put your life savings into this sort of bet. I don't think you'll do it, but the option exists.

This is a big problem in open source that seems taboo to discuss. In my opinion, unwritten rules are for gatekeeping. And if a new person follows all the unwritten rules, magically there's no one willing to review. I think this is how

I got a 6D from facebook marketplace for ~125 USD, but it was in the US, which has a more 'liquid' second hand electronics market in my experience.

Get a used 6D or 70D and a 50mm f1.8 lens.

I have a PhD in a niche field and this can do my job ;) Not sure if this means I should get a more interesting job or if we are all going to be at the mercy of UBI eventually.

Macos will try and keep available memory used. Launch a few more applications and you'll see everything sort of still keeps working at an acceptable responsiveness.

> pretend that code reviews will somehow strip it out. Code reviews 'somehow' strip out poorly thought out new uses of escape hatches. For your example, it would be an use of get, put or remove without checking the result.

That's why code reviews exist, it's good process to make code reviews mandatory.

Anti patterns are great, they act as escape hatches or pressure release valves. Every piece of mechanical equipment has some analogue for good reason. Without things like null pointers, goto, globals, unsafe modes in modern safe(r) language

This seems like the kind of metric that 3 users with 15 year old machines can skew significantly. Has to be normalized, and outliers eliminated in some consistent manner.

It’s not misleading. This is how research works. LLMs are really good at the ‘re’ in research.

That seems somewhat reasonable. Storage should be cheaper, complain about Apple making you pay a premium.
