The "it's only a few seconds of waiting" argument fails when the person is trying to get to a scheduled departure of a bus or train.

If the next train is in 20 minutes and the train is leaving in the next minute, walking down the escalator to make this train just saved me 20 minutes.
You just linked to some random study from some random journal in order to support your statement, to make your statement sound like it's truth. [0] is an article from Indian Journal of Medical and Paediatric Oncology. No idea what the reputation of this journal is. No idea what the study does, experimental methodology, bias of the authors, reputation of the authors, who is funding the authors, etc. etc. More generally, why has internet discourse detiorated to linking to random studies to make a statement and asking people to link to random studies to support their statement.

Some broadband routers allow sending and receiving faxes on VOIP lines, which is handy because they are left on just like fax machines, but can be instructed to relay via email or save received faxes onto an usb key with no waste of paper.
Its common for small (house mounted) turbines to not generate their embodied energy, which is why you don't really see them any more.

Memoization is one specific strategy to implement an incremental algorithm. E.g. ML style on input 1 train and predict, on input N only predict wouldn't be memoization, but it'd be incremental (in most cases, i.e. when training is more computationally intensive than prediction). In other words, memoization is a subset of incremental computation.
Yes - very unreasonable. Im sure its an enormeous expense. Better keep those devices 10 security updates behind to make sure the bloatware still works. I mean - they already paid right: why bother updating.
For me it is too much fun. I love that I can use most of the standard library without thinking / looking at the documentation, and not needing to wait for compilation.

But at the same time I hate that I love a language that performs so bad compared to being closer to the metal.
No? I don’t see how that’s a conclusion from what I said.

Main advantage of C is that it forces you to understand what goes on under the hood. To many C++ programmers who didn't do much work in C, if you ask how the variable var1 bellow gets allocated, they will be scratching their heads. As a former C programmer, this is the first thing I try to understand - who is allocating what and who will be freeing it up and how. I don't like anything to be black box or performing magic for me. But many quick short and sweet courses on C++ completely skip this. There is in fact a book someone showed me which said that you don't need to worry about memory allocations in modern C++, just use smart pointers and everything will be taken care for them! Poor souls!!

void f() {
Vector<int> var1;

Chicago is that way, too. The only difference is it's a 30 minute bus ride instead of a 30 minute drive.

Has anyone done a performance analysis on the use of the lens concept in various languages? Given it is essentially duplicating data for every set it would seem to produce a lot of garbage for whatever memory allocator style is in use.

Isn't this more of a reflection of the candidate and not of the language? Especially since the questions you mention are not "modern" C++ per se. I am in the same boat as you and have been looking around in the market for filling some positions in my team. My experience is also similar to yours but I attribute that mostly to the interviewee. Something like having "10 1 year experiences" than a "10 year experience". It is important in our field to keep up and at least look under the hood to see how things work.

There are no stupid questions. Clustering allows you to do more jobs at once than you could do with a single machine of the same power. It allows for redundancy if you set things up in such a way that if one hardware components fails another takes over. It can allow for better isolation between processes for security reasons than what a process isolated from another process on the same machine can give you. And many other reasons besides, so clustering is a technique that can give you many different benefits.

But...

There is a price to pay. Clustering isn't easy, convenient or without overhead. As soon as you cross the boundaries of what a single machine can give everything suddenly has a price, either in terms of latency, throughput, complexity or loss of control. Clustering software tries to hide some of this but under the hood these will always be there.

Maybe I haven't visited the right ones, but none of the 7-Eleven (or FamilyMart, Lawson, OKmart, or CU) stores I visited in South Korea, Taiwan, or Japan had selections that close to those of the Dollar General stores I've patronized. In my subjective judgement, the difference is pretty big. This is not a knock on them, of course, just difference in business model, and as you say, regional/market context.
A cheap used car will get you where you want to go, but will cost more in maintenance and fuel to get that job done. It will need to be replaced more frequently than the car purchased by someone who will buy new or who will purchase a 'new-ish' used car, and when the time comes for replacement the rich guy will probably have some residual value in the car while the cheap car is probably being replaced because it is no longer operable.

While I agree with your statement, I think you are giving "financial discipline" way too much weight.

As you probably know Facebook( Instagram) did copy " stories" from Snapchat. When your competitor effectively steals your secret sauce, what do you do? I believe that is why they went with their radical UI design change.( In order to retain users, which backfired)

I am not justifying the cash burn that snap had, just saying that competitors definitely were a factor in them not being financial disciplined.

Another major negative was from the get go with that their shares listed are non voting which was a major turn off to wall street which got them blackballed from being included in the SP500.(Has nothing to do with running a company or financial discipline, but definitely a negative when large institutions cannot invest in you because of strict bylaws.)
For languages like Python, C# its not as often to find candidates who can write syntactically correct code that produces the required output but the code would leave you in absolute horror and you would pray for the candidate.
Okay, but even if I concede that point, that doesn't translate into a strong strategic view of the value of initiatives. To say otherwise is like saying a soldier that's been in battle has the same strategic view of things as a general in overall command. The soldier is more informed than the average person, but far from an expert level knowledge of the big picture.

And that may be besides the point: It seem to me this astronaut didn't make make a cogent argument from the perspective of cost-benefit tradeoffs and risk of human lives. Instead he raised vague criticisms: "It's ridiculous" and "what's the imperative... I don't think the public is that interested"

In fact available data directly refutes this astronaut's view: at least one survey from a few years ago found widespread support (about 75%) for a manned mission [0]. As of this year interest has declined somewhat [1], but still 63% rate mars as important or higher.

Monolith vs Microkernel.

I suspect in the long run that one will be settled in favor of the microkernel, but it will take a long long time to get there. Missed chance if there ever was one, but I can see some ulterior motives to keep the kernel as complex and hard to contribute to as possible. If everybody could write drivers then where would be the glory in that...
It's nothing even comparable to coal? Have you seen how much of that stuff is actually burned per kw/h? It's absolutely insane if you've seen it. Especially when you imagine the logistics involved (or in my case have been shown the logistics involved in only a very small case, which was already shocking for me).

I've actually played quite a few FPS games with a Kensington trackball.

It takes some getting used to, but if you set the ball up so that a 180° rotation corresponds to the cursor travelling the width of the screen it seems to work well.

That the turbines were incapable of producing significant amounts of energy even when working correctly, is not out of the really of reason.

> I just still can’t wrap my head around the fact that in 2018, with a camera attached to every waking persons hand (and some sleeping people too), how is it that there is not a single public photo or video published of this specific drone.

I’ve been in many debates about this in the drone flying community (and with friends who know me and how much I fly) and I keep coming back to this point. I’d even take a blurry “UFO sighting” photo under consideration, but even that doesn’t exist.

Virtually every single “close call with a plane” has thankfully (thankfully both for the safety of passengers and for other UAV pilots who would be impacted by the irresponsible party’s actions) been proven later to not have been a drone.

PS, cow tipping is real (as in its “possible”, not that folks are successful), but it’s much harder than folks realize (I grew up in a farm state and have seen it done once with multiple big guys involved, but also seen many a drunken fool fall on their face trying too).
The article mentions of days when you were anonymous, getting to know strangers through common interests and exchanging ideas. I do miss those early days.

For me, social network stopped being social as soon as reasonable assurance of anonymity when out the window once companies started pressuring people use their real identity, and that became the norm.

I actually think this illustrates the success of c++ as a (also) high level language: a relative c++ novice can produce reasonably correct code, by sticking to a small, straightforward subset, and following best practices.

I think c a novice seem much more likely to rely on undefined behavior and have an accidentally working program that leaks memory, fails to check the return value of malloc, close files etc?

That is, one can be sort of productive and "correct" in naive c++ - in c that's not really possible (well, one can be "productive" but correct is less likely?).

Depends what you want to do, 90% of what I code in is python or Ruby, and I'll switch to C when I want performance. I've done a lot of rails (Ruby), Django (python), and flask (python) work in web development. Much prefer rails, eaiser, and better thought out. I have several websites with hundreds of thousands of visits a year, it is fine (all the frameworks are). I have had to do some inline C to speed up my Ruby in a couple of instances - but that's very specific (and something you can easily do).

In terms of data science, python is my go-to and much more tooled for that kind of work. For any kind of desktop app I'll use C++, and for browser extensions / add-ons it's JavaScript.

Efficient and free markets is a wrong assumption. Those almost never exist in real life.

In haskell they're optimized out, but some delicate work has gone into ensuring that. They're actually faster than alternative methods in some cases, uniplate was rewritten in lenses and got faster and with better type safety as well.

Exceptions require special stack-unwinding logic, which may not be adequate for a kernel (?)
Unfortunately, libinput has yet to catch up with the quality or configurability of the old drivers.
I love this take. When we can get past the breathless danger of social networks (which, to some, spells "opportunity"), we can treat their failure modes for what they are: systems acting as boorish neighbors.

The most scalable defenses against exploitation of social networks will be distributed cultural notions of etiquette, self determination and even hygiene - not instantly-out-of-date regulation or even technological solutions (although a strong cultural take on owning your information landscape will inspire it's own technical opportunities)

I hope my kids will find it kind of gross and embarrassing to be caught up in somebody's disinformation, rather than lending it credibility as enemy action.
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk: Starship prototype to have 3 Raptors and “mirror finish”
Strengthening controls on a system while simultaneously not breaking any client is an incredibly difficult goal.

Unfortunately, unless there is a single, united team focussed on this single goal (kernel is not by design). Then some fingers will be burned, because of the complexity of getting it right.

Some contributors will struggle, and others will fail at it. Unfortunately, that’s just stats.

Everyone can write drivers. It's one of the few things we can do in monolith-land. I guess I'm probably missing your point.

With sustainable energy winning so clearly, it's getting more expensive to corrupt polititians though. I never thought China would be a great example for this.
Nothing direct from what I've read but I'm extrapolating from various "decline and fall of X civilization(s)" - all great societies have been through a phase where the society no longer produces enough defenders and the ones alive lack vitality to protect against relatively primitive less technologically sophisticated "barbarians".

Also, what we're seeing happenning in Europe right now on immigration. Japan is a bit weird right now.
Plot twist: people never "flocked" to Javascript. People use Node for example because the company they are working for thought that it would be nice, efficient and less costly to have one language for the whole platform. They mostly learned their lesson since then and moved on to real languages which can be used on the backend.
Let's be fair to the article author - he's advising that we get ahead of the externalities of mass solar by considering the read of end of life costs - this is effectively the same thing as when people include the cost and risks of spent fuel storage for nukes.

Also, the author's background and bias is for nuclear, not goal. Guy hates coal, he's not a climate change denier. He just doesn't think that wind and solar are an acceptable base for powering modern societies and systems.
Could it have been a mass psychosis? First a real drone sighting and the closure of the airport; then when the news spread, tens of people reported more sightings. There are two densely populated towns on both sides of Gatwick airport, within a couple of kms from the runways. After the first sighting, any other within that range must have been considered a risk worth closing the airport for. A drone is just a black dot in the sky, I wouldn't be surprised by false reports.

None of what you said explains why you would want to change names every couple months.

That would tell you changing names is trivial, commonplace, cheap, frequent. In other words, you can advertise virtually any generic name you do not own yet, and change it as you please the moment a customer wants to buy a particular name.

Unless the names are unique, rare and squatted like high value domain names. In this case you want to own the name first before you advertise it. But that doesn't logically correspond to ditching the name every 2 months.

Perhaps it is the reason, I can't say for sure, but I'd say it's very unlikely. (My company deals with lots of shelves, or at least used to before incorporation was simplified with new legislation some 10 years ago)

Avoiding prying eyes from journalists, creditors or regulators from a dubious venture seems much more likely, though it's a very crude and attention drawing method I certainly wouldn't recommend.
That sounds like a really easy and important step. I wonder what the cost increase would be, and why they're not included in RoHS?
It is also possible to create bags that are useful for more than just groceries. Part of it is also the mental shift away from disposable.

There is also the the possibility of shared bags but the germ/dirt issue would exist and then adding the cleaning of shared bags may be energy worse. We used to have shared glass bottles for milk that had to be cleaned and sterilized after each use not to mention transporting all the weight of empty bottles back to the dairy.

I think it also depends on what we are solving for. Is it lower carbon footprint or keeping plastic out of our waterways? More quickly bio-degradable plastics may be best for one but not the other.
Be fair, the kernel is actually alright, it's just everything on top of it that is depressing.
