I solved this yesterday. It was in fact a cable problem. I think the initial GbE negotiation was a red herring from ubiquiti as two of the pairs were flipped.

Indeed. I am a frequent critic of the c++ committee’s direction and decisions. There’s no direction other than “new stuff” and that new stuff pretty much has to be in the library otherwise it will require changes that may break existing cod

It's also the most valuable part of the entire article, and is true whether you're using waterfall, scrum, Extreme Programming, Kanban, or whatever. It's also the only thing that reliably works - the better you are at breakin

Jira is fine. Jira is excel for task management. OOTB setup works absolutely great, and then someone comes along who wants a custom field on tasks to support <something that they read about elsewhere> and now you have to fill in that

What about auto g() -> auto { return 0.0; }

I really wish they had used func instead, it would have saved this confusion and allowed for “auto type deduction” to be a smaller more self contained feature

This is not an argument against modules. This is an argument against allowing areas that don’t upgrade hold modern c++ back.

I'm not quite as cynical as that to be honest. I do think it's abundantly clear that PwC and other major consultancies hire people who have experience in writing briefs to get major projects, and that they likely have an implicit

It does to an extent but less so particularly from central government. The tender is here [0], the approval process is usually pretty watertight. The contracts that go through this will have a paper trail. What you’ll likely find is that P

the flip side of this is I can't count the number of times that cropping a screenshot in paint and leaving it in the background has partially stopped my PC from rebooting, and I've discovered the following morning that "you h

Honestly - I think it must be a laptop thing. I have a similar spec laptop [0] for work, and it's... borderline unusable. I can ignore the upsells, always online, etc but the OS is just fundamentally falling apart more and more every o

My car will beep every 15 minutes when the washer fluid is low. “Low” being some arbitrary value, and not even remotely close to empty. Last time it happened. I had just started on a long motorway drive on a clear day and it just pinged and

Roughly 15 metres. Almost certainly a cabling issue, although frustratingly the electrician who installed it says that they think it's fine. I've got a ubiquiti U7 AP connected to a USW lite 8 via POE, and it negotiates GbE, but t

One of the big problems with pulling cable in the UK is the abundance of solid internal walls. Running cabling in my house involves lifting floorboards or drilling through multiple 2ft thick stone walls. It’s worth doing while you’re there

In C++ you can do: struct Foo { private: int val = 0; Foo(int newVal) : val(newVal) {} public: static optional<Foo> CreateFoo(int newVal) { if (newVal != SENTINEL_VALUE)

He also ran as the “no war” president and has so far attempted to start two, and is likely to be involved in a third. Besides, he started the tariff nonsense in his first term - it even has its own Wikipedia page: https://en.wiki

My main source of heating is a gas boiler, but it requires two pumps to actually push the water around. If our power is out we have no heating.

I live in Edinburgh, and 100 year old buildings are the newest ones in the city. A good chunk of the city is what we call a “conservation area” - so you can’t modify the aesthetic of the building (windows included), but the vast vast vast
