Thanks because "This tool is not available to users under the age of 18 or in certain countries or regions." The EU is left behind

Colored functions can be nice. It makes the type system give a hint that a function could take a long time. You can then e.g. avoid holding locks when awaiting. But there is a big downside, that's true.

Not all. Not us Europeans who come to visit sometimes. :(

This is why we Europeans like working at American companies (in Europe)

No, one meaning is "an act of encouraging a hesitating speaker," which seems OK to use in this context

I think “thousands of dollars” in hardware is fine

Very good to see this as the top-voted comment. I completely agree that this seems like a more natural explanation of what is going on.

That sounds like a bug in the query store

This sounds interesting. Mind sharing an instance of these hard small problems?

The best solvers are really impressive. Unfortunately, they also cost a very large sum of money. We should be happy that many of the best tools in other areas are free.

A sphere of course have sum of the squares of all points equal to one. So in high dimensions, it’s clear that most points have to be close to 0. Hence the “spikes” Boxes are more intuitive

I don’t think this is true at all. Alphabet has Waymo and Isomorphic Labs, trying to commercialise solutions to problems with very, high impact. Time scale is at least a decade

The suggestion by Clang seems perfectly fine. > With Clang trunk on my laptop, I get consistently about 1.0s for the push version, and 4.2s for the emplace version. Wow that is why we're not using C++ at work.

If they could have solved it, they would have. But I agree that language models will be able to do it.

The problems were first converted into a formal language. So they were partly solved by the AI

This is more of a C question than C++. In a C++ library you would probably make the format function type safe. But both Clang and gcc have annotations you can add to functions using format strings so they are type-checked

"Europe" is not a useful description of the location in this case. There are too many differences between countries, universities and even faculties within universities

Yes you’re right. That has worked well enough in other languages

Serialisation often needs additional information not present in the struct definition: for enabling backwards-compatibility and default values. Same for command line parameters. We want documentation strings, maybe dashes in the name etc. B
