That's highly dependent on scale of org, but fair enough. Sometimes it's closer to 60. And sometimes your seniors are only seeing 10-15, for the same reason.

I think you missed exceptions often being a problem in low level and embedded targets. That knocks out most of STL anyway. I also think you are a bit harsh on virtual functions - it introduces a single indirection, yes, but sometimes that

It's described in the course, but canonically this means at least c++11 (and these days, likely 14/17 in practice - there is broad toolchain support)

Do you want to do embedded/low level c++, or are you looking to transition out of that?

The way the truck segment works, it's pretty inevitable. More and more people buying them with no intention to use as trucks, means cab encroaching into the bed space.

Right, the hardware value parted out isn't' really relevant.. Thin clients aren't the same as e.g. commodity laptops, it's mostly about the services they connect to and how easily. Nobody actually cares about the spec

You've probably already depreciated most of it on your books, so the write off is pretty small. After 3 (tax) years a 2k laptop is likely only worth a few hundred dollars to you anyway, and you'd have to pay shipping (50 ish?) so

One scenario I've seen this work differently in is a regulated market where the technical documentation is part of submission etc. - so if it's not right, you don't have a product. In this case they likely work for the RA

Could be something like this: https://www.pjrc.com/store/teensy41.html From memory (heh) they come with 1Mb and you can add another 8 or 16... It's a 600Mhz ARM M7 also, you can do a fair bit or work with that.

Fair enough, I was using "coverage" for actual trips, not nominal rail extent. "Service" is a better description. Your point about siting is very true.

The passenger rail coverage [edit: service] in most of North America is basically pathetic, for systemic reasons.

There really isn't any single service you can move to, to be "safe". This is why 3-2-1 backup schemes exist for important data, although they have morphed a bit with cloud usage. The basic idea is to be robust to any single

It’s an often used tool, sure , but for legal protection of reverse engg, your implementation side is firewalled from all of that. It's not likely to be fair use to distribute, fwiw.

It's been around for ages, I think the ChatGPT stuff is pretty recent. One really smart thing they do is localize the volunteers as much as possible, so often if the question is something like "Am I at the corner of X & Y"

I've never really heard of that being a thing except for ones you burn yourself. Optical media is pretty stable unless (re) writable, so I'm surprised. I've played 20 year old DVDs without issue, fwiw.
