C++ ABI stability is the main reason improvements to the language get rejected. You cannot change anything that would affect the class layout of something in the STL. For templated functions where the implementation is in the header, ODR me

Yes, that's why modern literature and media dealing with diverse opinions are terrible now. You are expected to caricature and refute people saying "bad" opinions in the work itself since otherwise the reader could believe in

I've never used PayPal because someone signed up with my email to buy internet pornography before I could legally create an account at 18 years old. PayPal allows people to buy things without verifying the email, so now I'm stuck

These are the best paragraphs I've read on the rise of fascism, made even better by the fact it was written a year before it happened: > Economic depression and political radicalism go hand in hand. When economic distress reaches a

I actually love the smartphone appification. Whenever I get lunch or dinner north of Toronto with colleagues, the restaurant has no English signage. But because the Chinese restaurants have no waiter and all orders are through a website I c

Chinese is too difficult of a language. I have spent 5 years learning it part-time and have gotten to a level I can understand 30% of a TV show and 20% of a newspaper. Unfortunately it's two different languages and both are unlike almo

Officially, exam scores are based on knowledge, not ability to think fast enough to solve a problem. In practice, the easiest lever professors can pull to reduce test scores is to decrease the time limit. Generally, that relatively benefits

It's pretty depressing yet motivating seeing SWE bifurcate. This is an app that would've normally had a dozen or so people behind it, all acquihired by OpenAI to find the people who really drove the project. With AI, it's one

If you want to live with no electricity, no running water, and a lack of refrigerated food, you could do so purely on welfare. In that sense, we already have the UBI that Marx predicted. However, most people want fruits and vegetables inste

Good job! When can I buy it? I am sold on the game and wishlisted it but lack of release date saddens me. I love spreadsheet games like Terra Invicta/Paradox/Simutrans and this seems like a terrific example of one.

Check out Terra Invicta. It's like the modern-era Paradox game you wanted but all the mechanics synergize with each other. Unfortunately it's a bit too complicated as a result.

Improved EHRs would improve medicine by making doctors more productive. Increases the amount of time they can spend billing instead of on administrative overhead. More billing is more money. I don't think this is bureaucratic malicious

Hospitals are huge liability sinks. Doctors are constantly sued for killing, injuring, or traumatizing patients, because it's impossible to consistently save everyone.
