Probably for a very specific problem, you can us dwave as a faster and cheaper alternative to classicals
A stunning example of a very poor local optimum...
A chinese 5x run of a two-layer PCB from JLC is $13 incl shipping to Sweden, and takes 3-4 weeks for mfg and delivery.[0]

You can speed it up a bit by going with a local mfg like Svensk Elektronikproduktion, who charges $154 but "only" takes ~2 weeks.[1]

Or you can head down to Kjell&co, pick up a few breadboards for $10[2] or a perfboard for $8[3], and be home again in 20 minutes.

Which do you think is more approachable for hobbyists? Oh, and you'll probably be able to pick up most through-hole components you want during the same trip, while SMD stuff usually needs to be ordered online.

> You don't need any special tooling to solder SMD components, either. A temperature controlled soldering iron and a cheap hot air station are perfectly sufficient.

I'd say a hot air station qualifies as special tooling. But disregarding that, while I can agree for passive components, even tiny SMD MCUs tend to have their legs packed close enough that solder bridges are practically inevitable for beginners.

> At least for python, using is not more limited, but more complete: It allows to handle exceptions that are raised in the block and it also allows you to raise exceptions in the "destructor".

the difference is that with Python, the programmer can forget to use "using".
In C++, as soon as you instantiate your variable on the stack somewhere, you know that ~T() will happen unless you get a segfault...

> For example a db transaction wrapper might want to rollback instead of commit if we leave the block via an exception.

I'd say that a transaction wrapper would have an explicit commit method which applies the transaction and "empties" the transactoin object - destructor would always rollback if there is something that was not committed - and if commit was called then there is nothing to rollback anymore so ~T() does nothing.

It is not a plus, because in the US there is no need to control births. To the contrary, there are not enough births.
There is something about weed that can slow down time, but your ability to learn is hindered too. Question is, how to slow down time and be able to learn a language overnight..
You also need to disconnect school funding from local taxes. Currently schools in the US are primarily funded by local property tax, which means there are rich districts where the people are well-off, the property is valuable, and the schools are well-funded. Then there are poor districts where the people are poor, the property not worth much, and the schools badly funded. To get equity that funding setup has to change.

Also you need to address poverty. Public schools are challenged with educating every child, but for the poorest the biggest barriers to education have nothing to do with what happens in the classroom. Without adequate food, good sleep, consistent home environment for study, school outcomes for the poor will always lag far behind. In many international measures where it appears the US has a schooling problem the underlying truth is the US has a poverty problem.

This isn't "literacy", its a collection of factoids.

Real industrial literacy means knowing something of the end-to-end lifecycle of industrial goods, and the supply chains that bring them to us. In addition to the list in the article it also means understanding what plastic pollution is doing to ocean food chains, what CO2 is doing to global temperature, and in turn what these things are going to do to industrial civilization itself.

It means understanding that our current trajectory is not sustainable. We are running out of things. The things we are running out of turn out to be more the capacity of the planet to absorb our waste, rather than the raw materials as everyone feared 50 years ago, but it doesn't change the fact that we are running out of them.

It means understanding the sheer fragility of our civilization, the fact that it could all blow a fuse tomorrow, and that if it did 99.99% of us would die horribly within a year (and probably take quite a lot of the rest of the biosphere with us).

And it also means understanding that there is no alternative; we are in a race between our ingenuity and our ingenuity, and its still an open question which one will win.
Manufacturing with JLC only takes a day or two. Delivery speed depends on which courier you choose. I’m in London and often get boards within a week via DHL, or 2 weeks with the cheaper shipping option.

Breadboards are mostly useless these days because very few components of interest are through-hole and many circuits don’t work at all on breadboards (e.g. switching regulators). I’m a hobbyist and virtually never use breadboards. If you just want to play around with simple circuits then sure, use a breadboard. But you are really missing out if you don't take advantage of cheap PCB manufacturing and the enormous range of amazing SMD components.

There’s nothing “special” about a hot air station. I paid £35 for mine and it works fine.

It's easy to learn how to solder SMD components. Beginners will screw it up, but that's the whole point of being a beginner, right? Solder bridges are very easy to fix with flux.

>and disregard the "special offer" garbage that only applies to your first order

It doesn't only apply to your first order. I've ordered at the $2 price many times. In any case, there are many Chinese PCB fabs of approximately equivalent quality, and you can almost always find one that has a promotional rate of some kind.

Cloudflare: HTTP/3 will be enabled on your zone in the next month
Received this email from cloudflare this morning. It seems they will be rolling out HTTP/3 everywhere by default (opt-out).

Hello there,

We are excited to let you know that we will enable support for HTTP/3 in the upcoming month on one or more of your websites that use Cloudflare’s free plan. HTTP/3 is the latest version of HTTP, the protocol that your browser uses to talk to webservers (and Cloudflare!) Cloudflare is committed to pushing this new protocol forward, in our mission to help build a better Internet.

There is no action required on your end.

What will change on my website?
After HTTP/3 support is enabled, end users will be able to visit your website using the new protocol. This will not affect how your website is rendered or what your users see. As browsers start enabling support for HTTP/3, more traffic from users to Cloudflare will start flowing over this new protocol. Traffic to your origins will not be affected and you do not need to support HTTP/3 on your origin. We will only enable HTTP/3 on websites using our free plan. Websites on the Pro, Business or Enterprise plans will not be included in this change.

Why are you rolling out HTTP/3?
HTTP/3 is the newest version of the HTTP protocol. It enables faster, more reliable, and more secure connections to web endpoints like websites and APIs. In particular, data transfer of multiple files at the same time (which your browser does whenever it’s loading a website) on lossy connections and connection startup are improved.

When will this happen?
We will start enabling HTTP/3 on websites using the free Cloudflare plan over the next few weeks.

Will this break my site?
No. HTTP/3 has been available for almost a year and has been very thoroughly tested by thousands of our customers. We do not foresee any issues arising from enabling HTTP/3.

This is a pretty extreme stance. Supermarket bread is real bread, box cakes are real cakes, etc... Refining a recipe in a lab, to better meet some criteria doesn’t make something not bread. That’s a bit like saying Nikes aren’t real shoes because they weren’t made by a wise old Italian cobbler over a period of 3 months.

There’s fairly obvious qualitative difference between a handmade sourdough and a loaf of supermarket bread, but they’re both bread.

Also, it’s pretty easy to make a fantastic, lovingly crafted loaf of bread by hand that ends up having more than 2% sugar.

It is a problem because that "quality of life" depends on demographics. If there's a huge amount of old people relative to the amount of young people, pension systems turn into a Ponzi scheme. People that are paying into the system now will not be getting their money back, unless the next generation pays even more. Rinse and repeat.

And before you say "we'll just take it from the rich", please do the math on how much money the rich have, versus the cost of pensions. It's sobering.

Also, if I understand the proposed solution correctly, it doesn’t make sense.

I think the article says “replace the relatively rare inexact calculations by (more expensive) calls to libraries that produce correct results, then stuff the result in a IEEE float/double, so that the less rare calls can run cheaply. Problems with that approach:

- a computation at a given location in the code can be exact zillions of times, only to be inexact on the zillion+1th call, so instrumenting cannot prove a computation to be safe for doing on the hardware.

- worse, the “stuff the result in a IEEE float/double” will cause inexact rounding (there may be extremely rare instances where the value of a trig function or something equally complex is exactly representable, but the CPU doesn’t compute that exact number, but those will be extremely rare)
> Being a parent myself, I find it very hard to imagine a couple going: "Oh, we would so love to have a third child if it wasn't for that dang car seat problem..." Not that it's completely inconceivable but, I mean, come on...

I and my wife have three children, and a few years ago we seriously considered having another one.

There were several factors that led us to give up with this idea (moving to a larger house, increased tuition costs, etc.), but surely the act of buying a larger car was something we listed among the cons, and it played a non-negligible role in our final decision.
That's not unreasonable, though you referred to cases and not deaths in your original post. Deaths lag a couple of weeks behind cases, so maybe the local minimum in deaths in Sweden corresponds to the local minimum in cases 4 weeks ago. But maybe not!

No, your contract doesn't get renewed automatically.

In Germany usually your contract says it will automatically extend for a year unless cancelled. This basically makes your contract open ended with cancellation option, which you need to exercise if you want to cancel. You can also cancel your contract in case the other party change anything related to it.

There's nothing wrong with that, you just need to read what you sign. And it's a common practice, not a surprise. If you want to be sure your contract will not extend, you can always hand over the cancellation request at the time of signing the contract.
Not a C++ expert, but I first encountered it 20 years ago with Windows API and it looked uglier than some dialects today. Agreed, it's not optimal when the complier spits 100k lines of error messages for a single template typo, yet it's a pretty nice language to code with.

I remember talking with one of the world best HPC expert and he said that it's the most advanced language today when it comes to optimisation. Don't know if that still applies.

Yes, it seems like a great deal to me.

I do not understand your criticism. ULID tries to guarantee monotonicity with any single generator, which is nice if you need it and irrelevant if you don't. The state that needs to be saved for that feature is exactly the last generated ULID (if it's the same microsecond still, increase, else regenerate). And if you are generating on the order of 2^40 ULIDs per microsecond, you'll have to have a larger id space anyway.

So,for me, your criticism boils down to "this is weird because it has a feature I don't need". Why would you care?
