I think there's a couple things here: A dotted blue path indicates a path to walk on. This shows up in public transit or walking directions where part of the trip actually involves walking. A dashed grey arc appears when Google Maps ca

There was Lego creator, though building part was 3rd person so probably closer to KidCAD than Minecraft. I actually really wanted to like that game as a kid, but either my computer wasn't beefy enough to run it, or it was a buggy crash

They really shouldn't be called contracts at all, since intent ("meeting of the minds") is a fundamental part of contract law. Imagine for example if a mortgage contract contained some bizarre inscrutable loophole that as-wri

Fantastic can still be used to describe something fantasy-esque in modern usage. Albeit it's probably getting more rare. Like "fantastic voyage", "fantastic beliefs", "fantastic visions".

It also only works if the smart contract is a legal contract, which is something that gets hashed out in court, not in code review. Some cryptocurrency enthusiasts seem to think declaring "code is law" actually makes it so while t

The report is trying to suss out how to "play better" for when the next dangerous disease comes along. So talking about how covid-19 was preventable is meaningful because it's treating it as a case-study.

Regardless 1000 page documents _are_ the sort of things that full-fledged word processors should be able to support. Writers need to write books, readers need to read books, and computers have more than enough resources to support these use

I use a NUC as an HTPC, and benefited a lot from tweaking the fan settings in the BIOS. I got it to the point where it's silent when watching a movie or something, and only noisy when under real load.

Just that iterators is the API that C++ settled on for doing this in a generic way (well concepts in C++20, but I haven't learned that yet). It's totally 100% kosher to write a function that calls `.at()` instead of `operator+=`.

The primary purpose of an iterator is to allow algorithms to be written in a generic manner without needing to know details about the type it's operating on. Since the algorithm only operates on the iterator type, any number of collect

You can think of it as implementing `seek`, not just `next`. `RandomAccessIterator` implements the `+=` and `-=` operations that `BidirectionalIterator` does not. Algorithms that accept `RandomAccessIterator` can then assume that calling +

Rollback proof bugs are rare, but boy howdy are they exciting. I think I've only seen one so far (unless you count bad data / bad state that persists after a bad change is rolled back... which can also be pretty exciting)

Servers can and do scale effectively linearly depending on the workload. The broader point stands though. The more servers you have, the more money a 1% cpu optimization saves you in raw dollar amounts. At a certain scale it always makes se
