“this” is a reserved keyword in C++, so you do not need to worry about it being a global variable. That said, I like having a this pointer explicitly passed as it is in C with ADTs. The functions that do not need a this pointer never accide

My point is that this pattern is not object oriented programming. As for a default behavior with it, you usually would do that by either always adding the default pointer when creating the structure or calling the default whenever the point

Compiler design does predate object oriented programming. The first compiler was made by John Backus et al at IBM in April 1957. As for abstract data types, they originated in Lisp, which also predates object oriented programming.

I have never seen bad text rendering on an OLED. Which ones have you seen that have bad text rendering? I recently replaced a Sony X900E with a LG C4. Text is crisp and power usage dropped going to the OLED. Permanent burn-in will happen wi

How? OLED is still the gold standard while MiniLED is a rebrand of full array local dimming LCDs where the zone count is somewhat higher than past models. MicroLED is the true replacement for both. I do not see how MiniLED is on track to ou

Do you have links to information on what DPDK and VPP are doing in the area of bufferbloat? I have not kept up with them since I cannot use them in my day to day life, but I would love to update myself on the subject. By the way, when I wro

Multiple people have tried to explain buffer bloat to you and you have repeatedly denied it affects people in reality. The discussion with you has been little different from people saying that a number of things are explained by the Earth b

The problem of buffer bloat is one of many issues that affect internet users. When I visited China and pings to my VPN in the US jumped from 200ms to 30 seconds depending on the time of day, bufferbloat was severely affecting me. That could

Overanalysis for the sake of denying the existence of whatever you want is cliche. It does not matter how complete the information on a subject is, since you will just post more pointless questions, whose relevance is specious, for the sake

I am under the impression that George Marsaglia‘s work showed that there are no good values for this class of PRNGs. That is why he devised so many other classes of PRNGs.

You don’t need a speed test website to see this problem. Just run a ping on your own while doing a big download that saturates your connection and bufferbloat will happen unless there is some active queue management to prevent the ping pack

OpenAI’s plan is to make billions of dollars by replacing the people in your Teams chat with these. Management will pay a fraction of the price for the same responses yet that fraction will add to billions of dollars. ;)

The idiom “X loves to Y” implies frequency, rather than agency. Would you object to someone saying “It loves to rain in Seattle”? “Malicious compliance” is the act of following instructions in a way that is contrary to the intent. The word

LLMs love to do malicious compliance. If I tell them to not do X, they will then go into a “Look, I followed instructions” moment by talking about how they avoided X. If I add additional instructions saying “do not talk about how you did no

This is speculation on my part, but: 1. It is non-trivial additional work to add since these are high frequency signals. 2. It is non-trivial additional work to validate. 3. The hardware PCI-E support is likely buggy because it is not well

I see a few obvious problems: 1. A closed system cannot exhaust heat via evaporative cooling, which would defeat the purpose. 2. Many datacenters are no where near salt water. 3. There are likely reliability issues that would need to be ove

Storing pictures and emails in a data center does generate heat, but it is negligible. Also, claims of data center water usage are heavily overstated. Some do, but only during summer months. I assume the reason for the UK’s asinine advice i
