Google actually did run a service on 600613 (I think) for some time that would text directions and info from certain queries. I was disappointed when I found out it was down.

Serious game developers often do not use STL as a matter of habit and principle. That goes for most of your points about standard libraries. If you are developing code that you expect (or hope) to run on Windows, Linux, Nintendo consoles, p

Sure. I would just consider that the working group keep a broad perspective on the issue. There are developers who use graphics frameworks bare-metal, and there are also a number of frameworks that haven't been mentioned and don't

It seems like there would be alternate ways to do online shader generation than concatenating strings and compiling if there were a well-formed binary standard. Maybe it is the easiest conceptually, but I don't see that as being a perf

I'm not sure if your boss is the owner or simply a manager at your work, and I also don't know your location, but to me (not a lawyer) it sounds like you would have legal recourse against this treatment.

Is there an element of runtime correctness and safety as well? Are we comparing programs that have proper bounds checking to ones that don't?

The trend varies. We have one Fry's location and two MicroCenter stores in the Chicago area. All of these stores seem to be doing well. They are the only places to walk in and buy motherboards, CPU's, GPU's, etc. and people h

Doing offline voice recognition is pretty challenging on Raspberry Pi since it is relatively underpowered. Using pocketSphinx with RPi 3, it takes 2-3x realtime to do recognition, and the accuracy is underwhelming. Most DIY voice assistants
