Bananas emit detectable radiation, so you should probably choose different thresholds of what causes you to consider something dangerous. They will still try to decontaminate you of any radioactive materials they can scrub off as a matter o

One of the first state machine you'll ever learn about in undergrad permits transitions from a state back to itself, so I don't see this as a barrier.

Not that strange, as GCC was an effort to a goal of developing an ecosystem of Free (as in speech) software. While FSF had sometimes made allowances for supporting non-Free software (whether non-copyleft open source or proprietary), these w

I've been using ranges fairly often but it's only for stuff like this: auto it = std::ranges::find(ctx.users, req_user_id, &User::user_id); If ctx.users is a vector<Users>, it will return an iterator pointing to

Perhaps more importantly to a non-U.S. nations is that there are a lot of military networks that touch the public Internet whose security from outside attack is more or less premised on F5's implementation of mutual TLS to CACs. Findin

And this is indeed something that the C++ Glaze library supports, to allow for parsing into a string_view pointing into the original input buffer.

And either way, voters around the world have made it extremely clear that price inflation annoys them more than high unemployment. So if Powell's options are to cause unemployment or allow continued inflation, I can see why he'd p

Aside from the others already mentioned, it's very useful in infrastructure-as-code context like Kubernetes. I also used diff at work today to compare the output of two different 'docker history' outputs to look for what a hi

I'm pretty sure that's how I'm already using Caddy, and I didn't compile anything separate. Maybe it's packaged automatically as part of the Caddy Docker image?

It's also really useful for doing parallel builds of modules that may actually consume all available memory when you can't force the build system to use fewer cores than you have available. Both in terms of artificially reducing t

And if you are using a newer Perl they sometimes add features that aren't enabled by default unless you opt-in with a 'use v5.38' style declaration. If you want those features on in your one-liner you can use -E instead of -e

Well it's because by this logic we should just stop Americans from studying for computing jobs as well, that way those who remain will have higher wages. Just as the Luddites tried to stop the rise of industrialization that threatened

Of course, but that's the value-add of Docker Desktop. But you don't have to tie yourself to it, or even if you do use it for a bit to get going faster, you have a migration path open to doing it yourself should you need it.

Yeah, it comes down to modeling assumptions on how many different types of exceptions can be thrown, how many actually are thrown, and the shape of the control flow graph of a program at runtime. You can find one style outperforms the other

A specific presentation I'd point to is Khalil Estell's presentation on reducing exception code size on embedded platforms at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bY2FlayomlE But honestly you'd get vast majority o

There's a time-space tradeoff to basically any means of error checking. Including checking return codes instead of exceptions. It's even possible for exceptions as implemented by g++ in the Itanium ABI to be cheaper than the code

And in eBay's specific case they may have opted against due to the performance challenges URL rewriting may have involved.

The U.S. military actually uses precisely that system for officer promotions. And in practice most of the U.S. military branches do essentially the same thing for their enlisted force too, deliberately allowing high attrition for the sake o
