You are wrong. I learned programming mostly in C++ in the late 90's, and programmed in C, C++ and Java in professional settings for a decade or so, and still do from time to time.

This is insane. USA is already pushing sanctions against Europeans via US companies (e.g. Microsoft revoking ICC accounts), and now they are about to tie basic functioning in the society to two US megacorporations. At the very least this wi

VPN will maybe work for porn but, as they say, "Age verification plays a crucial role across various scenarios, including access to online services, purchases of age-restricted products and claiming age-related benefits."

Is the course about teaching these methods generally, or teaching to implement them in C++ in particular (maybe for e.g. ROOT)? Using C++ as a pedagogical tool for general teaching of such methods would be quite a choice.

Stateful models, e.g. RNNs, are Markov models too. Sometimes "Markov chain" is used to refer specifically to models with no hidden state, e.g. (decoder-only) Transformers.

You could have it like in Python tuples where 1 is a scalar and 1, is a tuple.

I find this very human-friendly: "[double colon] permits vectors to be defined inline without additional syntax such as [ ... ] or { ... }." (One could question how human friendly it is to call lists and dicts "vectors"

The illustration is of course just glyphs, but plenty of such symbols are found in e.g. paintings and stone and bone carvings. Not saying it's writing, but these kinds of symbols are not uncommon findings.

Android of course requires root for installing and configuring applications. It just grants the root automatically.
