Does the evidence indicate they "retire, switch to management, or change career"? The evidence doesn't seem to contradict the idea that they stay in their same jobs being paid the same amount as someone with 15 years of experience.

as to the data on Stay at-home dads, I question the sample size on that, it is such a rare status that and I am sure there is a HUGE sample size problem when they compare stay at home mom households (which make up the vast majority of the Single Income House holds) to Stay at home Dad homes which are the rarest or rare.

Yes I do. I've made it a point to review periodically and to personally thank the people that have had a positive impact on my life rather than to wait until I'm at their funeral or I find out they've passed on.

I've also credited them in some of my writings:

Realizing that you need other people to get ahead and that some people will take a chance on you when nobody else will is a good start in paying it forward. It will prepare you for the day when you can take a chance on someone. And some of those will work out, and some won't. I'm happy to say that on the whole more than half of those cases worked out very well indeed.

Worth noting is that not all feedback was positive, I received one very weird response that I can't really square with my recollection of the past but then again, a lot of time has passed and who knows the state of mind the recipient was in. I certainly don't hold it against them.

This is an incredibly glamorised version of what a lawyer's life looks like (I say this as someone whose father was a lawyer for 49 years). You're describing, by the sounds of it, a partner at a Magic Circle law firm, and you've missed out all the negatives; most lawyers' working lives are nothing like you've described, and the ones who do manage to make it to the upper echelons of the profession still have to deal with colossal stress and pressure, the kind which I doubt an expensive suit and an expense account will really do much to alleviate.

Which are in the future. The target is for 2025.

> remains America provides defence for Europe

The fact remains that NATO is not an US security organization where other Nations buy protection. Trump may think that, since he knows the Mafia from his real-estate business.

Nobody has asked German citizens yet, if we want to invest 2% of the GDP into defense and where it should be invested.

Basically a military & governments have decided that for us, which is entirely undemocratic and a fully un-controlled process.

It's great that the military-industrial complex can on its own decide how much to spend, without any outside interference. This leads to a situation, like in the US where roughly a trillion USD is spend on military, which is an insane amount of money.
Yes, you learn something about its biological function. The biological definition of “fruit” tells you where the offspring of a plant grows out of. For example, the actual fruits of the strawberry plant are the little seeds at the surface of each strawberry.

> std::unique_ptr can be null

what would be the difference between a never-null unique_ptr and a reference ?

> std::shared_ptr does not guarantee atomic reference counting

is that a problem in practice ? all implementations do use atomic reference counting. Just because it's not written in the standard does not mean that common sense does not apply.

> std::variant and std::optional require exception handling

exception is the standard way to report errors in C++

> std::map should be the std::unordered_map data structure, while std::ordered_map should be the special case. The unordered_map should also stop being a terrible hashmap implementation on most platforms.

Anyone who has a problem that calls for caring between unordered_map and map will know the difference, and for everyone else, does it matter ?

My opinion on that is that standard library types do not really matter - I use 3 different non-standard map implementations for specific use cases in one of my apps and there is zero friction as maps are almost always an implementation detail, it is nigh uncommon to e.g. have an API that takes / returns maps.

> std::vector<bool> is not what you think it is under the hood

that depends on who you ask :p from past teaching experience, if you ask students to tell you what is vector<bool> they will tell you that it is packed because it feels like the logical thing to do.

Yes it's mostly tax-funded, and I'm fine with that tbh, in my eyes it's a bit the same as a healthcare system. Your situation at home shouldn't limit your health situation or educational potential.

It's also not "free" for everybody. How much you pay also depends on situation your household is in (mostly a combination from total income and how many kids you have). It's possible that you have to pay nothing, or in worst case something like €5000/year for university, but then you're in situation where you can easily afford it (healthy upper/mid class double income and only one kid).
This is not the solution for this essentially unsolvable problem. It offers a false sense of assurance since there will undoubtedly be ways of extracting the signature apparatus and then using it to produce fake signatures. It also creates a dangerous opportunity for all kinds of authoritarian actors to inject tracking and identifying information in digital artefacts.

It's much less painful to abandon the idea that photographs, videos and sound can be ultimately trusted.

I know I objected pretty strongly to this in my other comment.

I wouldn't mind a 'about us'/'about the team'/'about me'-page linked in the footer, or as part of a 'contact us' page, or something.

But I don't think it needs to be pushed very hard, and definitely don't place the 'about us' on the landing page.
I was a huge fan of Wuala, and was very disappointed when they got bought and then shut down. My understanding is they always stored a central copy of everything on their servers to 100% guarantee availability. The P2P copies merely helped with bandwidth. I think their main innovation is the cryptree data structure for access control. We use a more advanced version of that in Peergos[1].

That's something for an "about" page. I absolutely don't care about that when I'm learning about a product or pricing, and there's no guarantee any of it is real anyway.
You're assuming three things:

1) There is a store that sells the products you want

2) The store is close enough to your house to get to without it being inconvenient

3) The store carries a range of sizes appropriate to be able to try.

If you are an "unusual" size (large, small, tall - effectively anything but average for the area in which you live), attempting to try a range of items in a store generally means _the store_ ordering them and having to visit twice.

This! I think this is the biggest piece of the puzzling issue.

Was it Panda update or that one plus the one after - it took out so much of the web and replaced it with "better netizens" who weren't doing this bad thing or that bad thing.

Several problems with that - 1 - they took out a lot of good sites. Many good sites did things to get ranked and did things to be better once they got traffic.

The overbroad ban hammer took many down - and many people that likely paid an seo firm not knowing that seo firms were bad in google's eyes (at the time) - so lots of mom and pops and larger businesses got smacked down and put out of the internet business - just like how many blogs have shut down.

Of course local results taking a lot of search space and the instant answers (50% of searches never get a click cuz google gives them the answer right on the results page (often stolen from a site) are compounding this.

They tried having the disavow tool to make amends - but the average small business doesn't know about these things, and getting help on the webmaster forum is a joke if you are tech inclined, imagine what an experience it is for small business owners.

I miss the days of Matt Cutts warning people "get your Press Releases taken down or nofollowed or it's gonna crush you soon" - problem is most of the people who were profiting from no-longer-allowed seo techniques were not reading Matt's words.

I also appreciated his saying 'tell your users to bookmark you, they may not find you in google results soon' - yeah, at least we were warned about it.

The web has not been the same since those updates, and it's gotten worse since. This does help adwords sell and the big companies that can afford them though.

In these ways google has been kind of like the walmart of the internet, coming in, taking out small businesses, taking what works from one place and making it cheap at their place.

I'd much rather have the results of pre-penguin and let the surfers decide by choosing to remain on a site that may be good that also had press releases and blog links... rather than loosing all the sites that had links on blogs. I am betting most of the users out there would prefer the results of days past as well.
You're saying that switching to "safe" modern C++ is just something you could do at a whim. Learning how to write safe C++ is a hell of a task to undergo, and still you are at the mercy of your program crashing even though you have taken careful approach to memory management etc.

Modern C++ is just not a safe language to program with. It is very easy to produce errors that result in segmentation faults, and it takes great care to produce code that works properly even with shared_ptrs and unique_ptrs and so on.

But you are correct that adoption of C++ is higher than Rust, and will continue to be so until some mission critical framework or for example game engine starts to support Rust in as a first citizen language.

Until then, we have modern C++, with all it's quirks and difficulties and lost developer time in figuring out where the hell was that dangling pointer or why the heck was an object not freed correctly, or why did the array access or vector access go off by some value.

Not saying C++ isn't good, it is, but a lot of time is wasted figuring with C++ currently when a lot safer alternative could be used. Unfortunately that is not very realistic in many scenarios yet, although I carefully evalulated Rust also for my current project, the requirement of supporting a C++ game engine just outweighs easily the hassle of having to figure out bridges and bindings and such.
I would argue it's been like this for a long time. Hence managers who can't code and the infantilism of developers.

Pro Blast XL

In spite of the fact that there are no symptoms of utilizing Pro Blast XL there are as yet a couple of things that you have to remember. These are the things of key significance and on the off chance that these things are followed, at that point you can be certain that you will see the outcomes that you won't accept could occur. Along these lines, on the off chance that you remember these things, at that point you will proceed. Right off the bat, ensure that you turn out as a lot of a potential when you are utilizing this item since when you are utilizing this item then you produce a ton of testosterone and this is something that possibly gets spent on the off chance that you work out. On the off chance that you don't turn out, at that point it can get collected that can be extremely undesirable.

The IT Trend of the 2020’s: Moving Out of “The Cloud”?
I did this once and ended up feeling sorry I did.

I looked up and thanked a programmer who came after school for a computer club. He helped a lot in getting me into computing.

I got the feeling he was thinking I was after a job. I wasn't - I was employed as a dev. It was purely because I was grateful.

Many people are suspicious of those that come out of the woodwork to contact them.
I like mine but I wish they were more breathable. Of course that's hard with a closed design which probably is necessary for noise cancellation, but as someone who gets hot easily I have to take them off for a while every 30 minutes or so. No way I can use them in summer out in the open and even on the train I get sweaty fast.

But apart from that they're very comfortable and the NC is awesome.
A lot of Engineers (or workers in general) love what they do, enjoy working at their company, and like to socialize with their co-workers.

Truth be told, the majority of people are not hungry self-learners that will thrive in retirement. You need to be disciplined for that - or else it's gonna go downhill, real fast.

Partial retirement is something I've seen a lot. Or people simply retiring from companies, but doing work as consultants for their last decade or two.
And strawberries are also not straws. It's all a lie.

Going against the grain here, but, why so sensitive? A simple suggestion is not an insult, a sign of unthankfulness, or in itself denigrating the author's efforts.

I got the same vibe from the article TBH, a lot of what he considers rude just seems like well intentioned, if possibly misunderstood, suggestions.

Consider that even filing a bug report is an effort 95% of users would never make. So even doing that is in most cases a contribution, at least as seen from the point of view of the submitter. But the author actually considers it an affront if it doesn't conform to the bug report template.

With the disclaimer that I have never maintained a highly popular GitHub repo, I get a lot of feedback for my projects that is unuseable, and some that is aggravating. I always have the option of simply ignoring it, and that's the end of that interaction. Perhaps the author is not actually good at setting boundaries and ends up blaming others for imposing.

You can fly rockets without heap and function pointers, and that is definitely non-trivial.

More precisely, however, heap allocation is usually accepted during the initialization phase (the moment when you can still abort the process with no consequence if needed, i.e in the case of a rocket, before it takes off).

Clearview app lets strangers find your name, info with snap of a photo
Interesting point about MISRA and malicious rules hidden in the code. Something like the test stand discovery heuristic would be a state in a high level state machine somewhere if done properly (hopefully, this is an explicit state machine...). If it were, it would become obvious when trying to trace that state to requirements.

However, modern engine control units have such complex requirements that complete verification against all of them is very unlikely in practice, especially in a third party audit.
No, you can do something like CloudFlare does for TLS for their enterprise customers, where the TLS session is signed by a key held by Netgear.

https://www.cloudflare.com/ssl/keyless-ssl

The fallback would have to be self-signed TLS with random keys for initial local router configuration, which is hopefully done over an Ethernet connection rather than WiFi.

You don't need a secure enclave or HSM to solve this problem. It just requires caring about security and provisioning enough time to engineer and test the obvious solution. From what I can tell, that doesn't line up with Netgear's MO.
