They definitely propel themselves. Even if I stop the filter so that there's no water circulation, they can walk on the surface just as fast as they do on the glass (which is quite slow, but still).

Think about it: water striders propel themselves quite fast on the surface of water, from the other side. The air/water interface is a though barrier to break for small beings. Thus they can use it for support, from either side.

> “died suddenly” which sounds like code for suicide to me.

That's a pretty big assumption.

You have no idea why or how Charles died. The only thing you know is it was sudden. There are plenty of non-suicide reasons that young(ish) people die suddenly such as being in some kind of accident or, as happened to an old school friend of mine when we were in our 30s, one day his heart simply stopped beating. There are many others.

The respectful thing to do here is not to speculate on how or why Charles died: we don't know because the author has chosen not to tell us. Perhaps she doesn't know either. Not all families want to share this kind of information.

> I wish we could take steps towards something more positive.

What I see around me is a lot of social stratification by age.

Get to know some people older and younger than you, and by "get to know" I mean spend a lot of time together. The "youngsters" get to see that it's not all roses and happily ever after, the "oldsters" get to see optimism and alternative points of view.

At a get-together one of the older couples announced they were celebrating their 44th anniversary; one described it as, "24 wonderful years, and 20... of the other kind." The other nodded in agreement. Staying together (A) takes work and (B) is totally worth it (both points from our "mere" 37 years of marriage).
> Infantry are going to be a thing of the past for anything more than proxy wars.

I disagree. The reason we still have millions of factory workers doing jobs a robot can do, is that the human is easily trained, and easily replaced, and very cheap to run. If the human breaks, you just replace it from the endless supply of other humans.

Infantry[1] is the same. Take a gun, learn how to shoot it, run at the enemy. If the solider dies, just replace it with another one from the endless supply of humans.

Robots on the other hand are very expensive to replace. Until we can auto-build Terminators[2] for less than the 'cost' of a human, robots will never replace people in low skill, high churn roles.

I disagree with the commenters who are saying your comment was just "C++ bad". The point I took from your comment is that this particular class of application, which is parsing many complex formats from external sources, several of which probably have extensive warts and edge cases, and rendering the output to a browser, is the type of application may be the most vulnerable to the downsides of C++ when it comes to security.

The tunnel I would love to see is the espionage tunnel built in complete secrecy under the then Soviet embassy in Washington DC constructed by the FBI and operated by the NSA, costing hundreds of millions of dollars, and about which we learned only because it was exposed by an FBI double agent in 1989[1]. I'd pay to watch a movie about that tunnel's construction.

You're talking in circles a bit. The point the GP was trying to make is there's no real downside to letting employees know they are on FOCUS and that a structured plan in place for tracking, rather than telling employees something vague like their work "needs improving".

> if “looked through social media posts of my partner with their ex” is stalking then there are a lot of stalkers out there in the world in new relationships.

Most of them don't wildly profit from what their partners might possibly consider to be at least a slightly unsavoury activity though.
It is. Before becoming a sysadmin I was a lawyer for 12 years. Never had trouble with interruptions while on my feet in court (except for my adversary, or the judge), but it was a real problem when drafting contracts or auditing complex estate accounts. Sure, you could multitask easily in a real estate closing or a trial settlement conference. But a lot of the work required shutting the private office door and asking the staff to "hold all calls". To be fair, sysadmin work was a lot less stressful and more rewarding -- except when it came time to write or debug code. That, and troubleshooting WebLogic services, Apache threads, the network team's firewall rules or database performance.

The real problem is that, culturally, most people aren't ready to accept software development as a high wire, professional, activity. That still would disturb this fantasy they have about tech being "intuitive" or managable in any meaningful way for non-experts. Those of us on the inside know that's b.s.
When it comes to solving complex AI problems I always like to think, if I had given a human this task, what would they want to know.

And I think even a human would struggle winning the character select mini game just with tabular data related to the players' win rates with those characters in previous matches. Learning about actual play styles of each playerand customising their play style with a given character would be a huge factor in them gaining an edge.

For example, let's say there is a player picking a slow but tanky character, but I happen to know the player who picked it often attempts a certain cheeky move to gain an advantage (like jungling early in the case of LoL, I really don't know much about Dota or LoL so you'll have to work with the metaphor here) and THAT cheeky technique is what increases their win rate. But then I know of a move that can be done by a certain character only in that specific cheeky scenario that will tip the scales and let me get a kill on them early, tipping the entire balance of the game early. As a pro player, that could be why I win with my selection, but the cheeky strategy also why the other guy often wins with his, even against other players who pick mine.

There's essentially a list of known play styles between different characters and optimal strategies to use with them against certain other characters. I think when you filtered to the top 10% of players, you essentiallly made sure a larger percent of those optimal play styles were the ones that generated the outcome data.

But still, if the player doesn't know what those in game strategies are, or their opponent doesnt know the ones they're "supposed" to be using, it'll throw off the value of making it the best selection.
Starting services in parallel will reduce overall service start up time as well, even if services are dependent on each other, because services often do work before they connect to a dependent service. Without socket activation that is a race condition.

Tragedy story is about something being the protagonist’s undoing. However in films like Man Push Cart or Big Fan. The protagonist didn’t do anything to make their lives worse.

There are other examples too, but this is one immediate one.

>And then for CHECK_FUNCTION_EXISTS();, there are a few rare compilers that do not throw an error at compile-time if said function does not exist.
check_function_exists() verifies that the symbol can be linked to rather than compile. That's why it gives it a bogus declaration of char CHECK_FUNCTION_EXISTS().

Funny enough I was trying to build a library yesterday that used check_function_exists() to detect the presence of some library functions. The project was set up to output a static library so check_function_exists() returned true for all the missing functions since it linked the test program without issue. https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/-/issues/18121

English gives opportunity because of the colonial foundation created by English invasion being transferred to the US, due to their long-term Western military hegemony resulting from their distance from a destructive pair of European wars.

Of course, a lingua franca is good, but the cultural and professional domination is too much in my opinion. US culture is awful, but is heavily marketed and sold (and ironically is almost all of foreign manufacture due to the continuing trade deficit/strong dollar policy. US professional dominance is due to its corruption, lack of regulation and labor rights, military aggression providing and preserving new markets, and diplomatic aggression making it the gatekeeper to those markets.

The dominance of English is a result of that, just like the domination of Latin, Spanish, and French (or Arabic for that matter) were. It's something that's happening, not something to be supported.

edit:

> But the national government of Sweden is a different story. They currently consider Elfdalian a dialect of Swedish, not its own language.

> Speaking in Elfdalian, Swedish MP Peter Helander recently asked Parliament why that’s the case. But before Culture Minister Amanda Lind could answer the question, the parliamentary speaker interrupted them both to say that only Swedish may be spoken in the chamber. Helander said the "only Swedish" remark proves his point, that Elfdalian should be considered its own language.

IMHO one of the reasons for the author's surprise is the colloquial use of the word accent, whereby one usually means a mix of pronunciation [1] and intonation [2].

I think that the surprise disappears once we look at these two factors individually. As per jefftk's comment, it is to be expected that TTS in a certain language will be limited to the phones (and thus the pronunciation) of its language. On the other hand, intonation is always bound to sound "foreign" seeing as this TTS software cannot get even the original intonation right (try listening to the sample text with the US voice to see what I mean), let alone that of a different language.

IP protocol does not guarantee delivery. So you don't have to cache request. Just power on the machine, client will retry sending the packets until the machine is powered on and can respond. Just make sure that there's no gap between networking available and http server is still starting on.

When one side sends data at 1Gb/s and the other receives at 100Mb/s, it's worse than if the first side sent data at 100Mb/s. Here's a description from Julia Evans: <https://jvns.ca/blog/2018/07/12/netdev-day-2--moving-away-fr...>

Basically my ISP router would receive data at full speed, while internally I would have a lot of dropped packets.

Additionally, I usually use the web browser to view Jira or copy files over NFS during calls, and I'm sure there are some background apps contributing to the traffic as well.

The one thing that fixed all my problems was reconfiguring the network driver to set 1G bandwidth on my NIC instead of the 100M that it set automatically. Yeah, Linux Desktop problems...
I don’t know if that’s really true these days. Each SQL server has its own dialect with nuances you have to pick up sooner or later, and if you’re a backend engineer for more than a couple years you’ve likely dealt with multiple types of data stores.
I would look at getting a Xeon-D board. They don't draw much, come in mini ITX, and mine have 2x10GbE plus 2x1GbE built in, for a price that's reasonable when you look at standalone NIC costs. The CPU is soldered on, so the cost includes that, too.

It is not obvious at all since Swedish speakers don't understand it. Two distinct languages might be mutually intelligible, but dialects must have intelligibility otherwise they are not dialects.

Very strange take. Are you saying that French and Spanish speakers are "petty" for not naturally understanding each other? That we just "talk in a slight different way"? You do realize native Spanish speakers don't magically understand spoken Portuguese or Catalan, right?
