> There isn't, which is why it isn't done, which is why your point confused me :)

This shows why it was a bad decision. It allows doing something in the language (unwinding from destructors), that a lot of code needs to protect against (e.g. all the standard library collections, all collections in general, all types that own a resource, etc.), for absolutely no added value (doing that isn't a useful thing to do).

Aborting the process if `Drop::drop` unwinds would have simplified both the language and the programs written in the language without downsides.

That doing that was a good idea was known (CERT C++ requires non-throwing destructors), and C++ actually made a backward incompatible change in C++11 to fix that (making destructors `noexcept(true)` by default, e.g., see http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2010/n316...).
‘Scary Time’ for American Middle Class as Office Jobs Disappear
I'm unaware of any special treatment (but that doesn't mean there is none!), beyond Apple caring about battery life in general on their OS and I would strongly expect that the browser forms part typical-use testing of the OS and as such influences what parts get targeted for performance work.

Certainly Apple's WebKit port uses Core Animation heavily, which is definitely heavily tied to the compositor in the window server.
It would work if you somehow could get the value of `z` (the "return" value of `add` in the example). Then you have a unit test for `add` on its own, and if you also unit test `f1`, `f2` and `f3` (which it calls depending on the value of `z`), you'd have almost full unit test coverage.

(You're not testing the conditions that lead to calling one of the `f` functions. Maybe it's chalked up to integration testing?)

But yeah, I share much of your frustration. The Decision making section should be the first thing, and it should have a test example. Longer non-trivial programs examples should be contrived to reassure people that this not utterly impractical.

Obviously all culture, and certainly mass culture in the Soviet bloc was controlled for "proper social message". I don't suppose Romania was more lax in respect to that?

A movie cheering for, or even trivializing anti-social behaviors would find it difficult to go past censorship (not to mention - to be conceived in the first place...)

It's for the same reason that you'd be hard-pressed to find a pre-1989 Central/Eastern European movie depicting any subcultures (like punks or hippies) sympathetically.

We Should Message Extraterrestrial Civilizations, Not Just Listen for Them
This is a need I'm hoping to address with my latest project, Semicolon&Sons. Basically I've built and maintained a web app business for the past ten years and can share a ton of war stories about how certain architectural decisions either paid off or bit me in the ass. Because I own the copyright to the code, there's no red tape stopping me from showing it on camera or whatever.

As regards educational content, I'm at an early stage with this, but I've got a couple of videos over on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC17mJJnvzAa_e9qQqLIfIeQ

As for your question as to why there are so few intermediate level learning resources, I think it's because the market size for intermediate stuff is much much smaller than it is for beginner resources and therefore content creators prefer to focus on the beginner stuff.
One simple example is his feature on the Despacito remix that completely and utterly dominated 2017, a solid year+ before Drake & Bad Bunny “started” the recent trend of huge English language artists featuring on Spanish language tracks and vice versa, that’s Latin pop, reggaeton, pop, and rap right there alone.

Don’t let that imply Drake isn’t even more influential though, man almost single handedly brought the sound of West Africa -> London onto American radio.

I am currently on the "recruiter" side and I would love to know more about ageism in tech. Is there a good link that describes what exactly is ageism in tech (e.g., does it start with 30+, 40+, 50+, 60+), what are the consequences (both for recruiters as well as candidates) and why is it bad?

From my perspective, I would not call myself ageist, but I do tend to deselect very senior engineers: They tend to be crazy expensive and somewhat ossified (e.g., "Why do we need containers? Debian packages solved all the problems a decade ago.").

My 2 cents.
Oh, wow this is cool. Thanks.
> As of April 20 , 238 out of the 21,551 (1.1%) positive SARS-CoV-2 patients under the age of 50 died. In
particular, 54 of these were less than 40 years (34 men and 20 women), age range between 0 and 39 years. For 6 patients under the age of 40 years no clinical information is available; the remaining 38 had serious pre-existing pathologies (cardiovascular, renal, psychiatric pathologies, diabetes, obesity) and 10 had no major pathologies.

So, out of the 54 people under 40 that died (~0.25%), 38 had significant other issues. And only 10 (~0.05%) were otherwise healthy people.

I’m tempted to agree with OP that it seems like it’s more of a bad flu for younger people.

Of course, it would be interesting to know how many of those younger people actually needed medical intervention to save their lives. Maybe the death rate amongst older people is so much higher because doctors prefer to treat/save those that have a chance when hospitals are overwhelmed.

The US also got hit pretty late, yet is taking it the worst. The extra time could've been used to prepare - everyone in this comments section wants to compare to Europe, but there's a much better reference point sitting on America's border. Canada took it seriously from the start, and despite having a greater diaspora that might transmit the "Chinese virus" into densely populated areas, has had a flatter curve, a less catastrophic economic impact on individuals, and most importantly a far lower morbidity.

The big problem with comparing directly to europe, is not only the timing but the demographics. Italy was hard hit because they have a lot of old people. Canada already has a lifespan 4 years longer than America's, which if you think about it is probably better proof that America is failing than most of the article.
Granted, being a kid in the 1980s strongly biases me, but this looks a lot like several moral panics from when I was a kid.

> IRC smoking was at a very low rate for youth after decades of improvements and then vaping has seen nicotine use rise in this demographic.

Okay, but smoking and nicotine use are very different metrics. Looking at number of smokers + number of vapers is a bit like looking at the number of drunk drivers + number of people biking without helmets. There's a heavy relative harm weighting factor missing if you just sum the numbers, especially if kids aren't vaping tocopheryl acetate or diacetyl.

Some parties strongly suspect that vaping is a gateway to smoking, but the studies I've seen are contradictory (granted, I haven't looked in depth). After all I was told about marijuana leading to crack cocaine use as a kid, I'm strongly skeptical of any gateway hypothesis that's not supported by rigorous studies. Rebellious kids tend to do all kinds of things, generally starting with less risky things, and if your study doesn't control for this, your study is going to show a causative link between stepping on sidewalk cracks at age 5 and using crack cocaine at age 17.

On the one hand, we do want to protect people from stupid decisions in their wild youth. On the other hand, the gateway hypothesis is the best argument I've seen against vaping, and it doesn't look like a good argument from where I'm sitting.

I think there's also a lot of hysteria that fruity vapes are targeted at kids. There must be tons of people over 21 who secretly like wine coolers and secretly like fruity vapes.

I've never been a cigarette smoker, and have only smoked a handful of cigars, but I've tried vaping a few times and found it pleasant. If, in another decade, vaping turns out to be no more harmful than my occasional single malt habit or my grilled red meat habit, I might take up vaping regularly at the age of 50. I get plenty of exercise, watch my weight, practice intermittent fasting, and spend a bit of my health budget on a small number of vices.
It is the same as arguing whether lambda calculus is better than pi-calculus or a Turing machine.

These are all isomorphic structures. Neither of them can do more than the other.

I see arguments (like one of replies to your comment here), that you can turn off Secureboot - so simple, much wow.

Not all firmware allow you to turn off secureboot or enroll your own keys. You’ll see plenty of this on bios-mods.com if you want to know what that looks like. It also really throws into sharp relief questions around things like device ownership.

Let me tell you about my experience with an Amazon DeepLens device (x86-64) that I’ve been trying to get stock Ubuntu installed on. The only keys on this device are Amazon ones. This means I cannot install any OS other than the one they supply (a modified Ubuntu 16.04 install). If I own the device, shouldn’t I be free to install my own OS? If I own the device, and have physical control of it, I should be able to bypass secureboot, period - but not always the case today.
My wife did a law degree at a very highly ranked university in the UK after doing a business degree at a comparatively lowly ranked institution (although still very well regarded) - coincidentally the latter being where I did a CS degree and thought the teaching was excellent.

She said the quality of teaching at the higher ranked university was almost comically bad compared to the lower ranked university.

The usual justification I have read for these things is that the top universities have already selected the best candidates, so they don't actually need too much teaching. Which seems to be missing the point.....

> Stuff never just works on Linux

This is the worst argument ever because it carries the false pretense that stuff "just works" on Windows and MacOS which is blatantly false.

Just yesterday I had to use regedit on Windows to stop its auto update from overwriting my manually installed video drivers. The only way to stop windows from doing that is to stop it from updating _all_ drivers. How dumb is that? Which normal user can figure out that this is why their video performance suddenly goes into the gutter?

We have far more than 14 active political parties. Most of them are founded for very narrow and specific issues (Tierschutzpartei -- "party for animal welfare", Die Violetten -- "party for mysticism/esotericism"). Some operate only on a regional level, like the SSV -- the party of the danish minority in Schleswig-Holstein (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Schleswig_Voters%27_Asso...). On the municipal level it is not uncommon to have candidates without party affiliation -- some of them organize in "loose parties" that are more a coalition of individuals than a real party (Freie Wähler).

I think the tendency to form coalitions and compromises than hyperpartisan confrontations has its roots in the voting system. We have a system of proportional representational voting -- not first past the post voting. This allows for more flexibility on the stance of single members on some issues. It is not unheard of to have 2 or more blocks in the same party that have very different opinions on specific issues. While this might be true for any representational system, first-past-the-post voting tends to focus on one issue that becomes the core of identification for some.

> Not all firmware allow you to turn off secureboot or enroll your own keys.

Being able to disable Secure Boot and install your own keys is a requirement of the Windows 8 and 10 advertising requirements, so manufacturers almost always allow it so they can get some money from Microsoft for advertising.

That doesn't mean it's always possible, but I would humbly suggest that we shouldn't purchase such devices so that companies who make those devices learn to stop doing that. The fact that Microsoft managed to pull this shit with Windows RT is disgraceful.

> It also really throws into sharp relief questions around things like device ownership.

I don't disagree at all, and I do think that it's something we need to be very mindful of. But Secure Boot does solve real security problems.

> If I own the device, shouldn’t I be free to install my own OS? If I own the device, and have physical control of it, I should be able to bypass secureboot, period - but not always the case today.

I completely agree. Amazon shouldn't be allowed to sell such devices. But that doesn't invalidate Secure Boot as a concept, nor is it the fault of Ubuntu or anyone other than Amazon.

I spent 6 years in one of those highly selective schools, and I have mixed feelings about this.

One problem is that Small-fish-in-big-pond-effect, a good chunk of us realized there that we weren't special anymore, there wasn't the honor and praise for being top- and consequently that drive was lost.

Plus, once some schools become well established and start to attract highly talented kids- kind of kids who can do well by themselves without much external help, the school itself, I mean teachers and administrators, doesn't have to be very good. Their success starts to depend more on their ability to attract talent, and less on actually nurturing and developing them. Past success bring more success- a sort of virtuous cycle.
