If I'm reading this correctly, this has two components:

- a bound checked libc++, which is not particularly exciting, libstdc++ has had _GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS for a while for example. In fact it seems that libc++ has had it as well.

- clang warnings to flag potentially unsafe code plus fix-it suggestions to convert it to safer code using the bound checked libc++.

The later is quite interesting, especially the fix-it might make it easier to incrementally "harden" a large c++ code base.
Sounds like me. I dropped software engineering studies last year to study industrial design/production engineering.
UB does not prevent that. Compilers already have flags for those, for example gcc's -ftrapv and -fwrapv .
Why did you wait? A poor country like Brazil is already 80% renewable for electricity. You cannot buy pure gasoline at the pump. It's mixed with a minimum of renewable ethanol, and that minimum has been going up every year for over a decade. Almost all cars run on pure ethanol and some consumers choose to never use petrol based fuel for their car. Diesel is not pure either. It's mixed with biodiesel by law and that percentage goes up every year.

If a poor country can achieve this, there is nothing stopping much richer countries.

You didn't lose a decade due to renewable capabilities. You lost a decade due electing the wrong politicians, influenced by big oil.

Carter installed solar panels on the White House. Reagan removed them two years later. It's nonsense like that that resulted in your lost decades. While other countries were already racing ahead.
So... like a marvel movie.
It is mentioned that the fixit will create forwarding overloads (marked deprecated) automatically, so the old interface is preserved for API and ABI compatibility.

I don't think Firefox was reading any QR codes, but instead was recrawling the link in the "Recents" list on a new tab or bookmarks screen.

This is in no way a problem. There is precedent for browsers eagerly loading links, it happens all the time in regular webpages. This is most of the reason why anchors should be safe/side-effect free.
It is when the performance definition changes. They are playing games to avoid the layoff label for political (ongoing perm lawsuit) and financial reasons (stock market signals and warn act)

The only exception to this is that you can use any money the government owes you on your tax return (up to $5,000, iirc) to purchase I-bonds in addition to the usual $10k limit.

In this case the vaccine & the ICU stays were paid for by taxpayers. If anything they got special treatment that was way above & beyond what others complain about when it comes to the lack of equal access to medical resources.
You should start listening to more bluegrass.
I'd say that if you have a tight-knit team, you are already doing the very opposite of treating people as tools. There's nothing wrong with having a shared understanding of a goal and then assuming a specific role in the effort to accomplish that goal; people are very good at that.

The problem is when you think of people the same way you think of a hammer when you use it to hit nails: The hammer doesn't matter, only that the nail goes in.

So I would say it looks pretty advanced, however they don't use a Diffusion model to generate the images, but an "image conditional video generation", another different approach.
> Programming language experts told Andrew Kelley, the creator of the Zig programming language, that having code which could run at compile time was a really dumb idea.

Really? I can't believe that! Running code at compile time is as old as Lisp! And it is present in some form or other in some other popular programming languages too. Like constexpr and templates in C++.

Thanks, I was not aware of Otsu's method.

From the Wikipedia article, "Otsu's method performs badly in case of heavy noise, small objects size, inhomogeneous lighting and larger intra-class than inter-class variance." (Emphasis mine.)

Right now my solution is at the stage of local thresholds with a configurable block size.

Thanks to your pointer, I know now that my next steps will be to review the Niblack or the Bernsen algorithms. (Or just integrate ImageJ.)
I mean, despite my huge ethical disagreements with FB, they have successfully built one of the largest platforms (the largest by active users??) in the world. Scaling at this side is very, very difficult.

Not to mention creating some of the widest-used OSS libraries on the web.

Plus, it’s one of the few platforms our grandparents can use, and we all know how hard it can be to make software that older folks like to use.

So they are clearly not hiring terrible devs. (Well, sure some of them are, but that’s the case everywhere)
It’s one form of risk to potentially allow your adversary to cut your undersea communication channel which has an over the air transmission backup, quite another to allow an adversary to cut your energy channel used by all homes hospitals and businesses, and with even less of a backup.

Rents allows much more centralized control of the political and economical equilibrium in the country. And it's easier to manage.

Despotic regimes that industrialize (like China or Vietnam) usually do it out of necessity : either because they can't make enough out of natural ressources to provide sufficiently to their subjects or because they need to have some level of strategic independence.

But they do see a dynamic economy as a threat.

As of today, vector’s iterator is just a pointer. You need more than just a pointer to detect out of bounds accesses. It makes old binaries incompatible with new binaries. It also means that you can’t mix and match, it must be either a or b.

Hence you can’t make the change incrementally, which is a big risk.

Concerning Linux distributions, I seriously doubt if they have resources to assess the performance impact across the wide range of software.

Concerning performance impact, we end up with more instructions and more memory accesses and increased register pressure. This has a chance to make things slower.
So according to that logic the metaverse could succeed since it started from an acquisition (oculus), no?
A very mature, non-weird (i.e. C-style syntax) and popular language can make it easier to recruit many developers but it is what will make that necessary in the first place.

A language of a somewhat more sophisticated design can make it harder to find developers but let you need much less.

E.g. Scala (which, contrary to the myth, has great learning curve and readability as long as you don't insist on making heavy use of the really weird parts - they are entirely optional) vs Java can easily boost productivity 10 times. Scala code usually is less verbose and works perfectly once built successfully - ~99% errors are detected at compile time. I know numerous Java devs who have switched to Scala to solo-dev efficiently, because they have no time to code and debug Java. Kotlin was designed based on the Scala experience to make it even better.
>Putin also has not sent all of his forces to Ukraine, he's kept much of the best near him.

No he hasn't, he's used all his best already. Wagner is still active in Ukraine. Not using your best forces makes zero strategic sense.

Why wouldn't they use their best and just prolong the war by loosing slowly instead of going for a quick victory? The quicker you can win a war, there better it is for you.

The "Russia hasn't sent its best yet and is saving them for later" is just a pro-Kremlin meme to try to justify the sorry state and lack of performance of the Russian military.
Conveniently (and expensively) provide a destination for log data streams and enable realtime ad-hoc querying against that data at scale, with time series features and a Unix shell pipeline-like query syntax. As the comments tell, though, you must tweak it to actually see performance. And, having seen its use in ecommerce with eg logged transaction details such as credit card numbers and other PII, the prospect of easily and loosely logging all the things is limited by data security and privacy concerns, with some practices a recipe for big-time breaches and lawsuits. Aand, per seat licensing is expensive, such that more often than not IME you have a Splunk guy/gal to whom you must address your data reporting needs, questioning any benefits that ad-hoc querying your logs may have.

What's wrong with explicitly asking it? I do that and their response says everything. If they're defensive about why everyone needs to work 60+ hours, then that's what you'll get. If they're defensive about how work-life balance is important, then that's what you'll get too.

I've Google Translated the readme file in the GitHub repo and it says:

> At present, the content farm is flooded, and only sites with good experience are included in the whitelist.

https://github.com/txthinking/soso/

Based on that, my interpretation would be that it's an opinionated search engine that indexes a limited set of sites that it considers to be "good", ignoring everything else.
It doesn't have to be this evil (although I have no reason to believe it won't at Amazon).

A good manager can do some 'managing out' simply by communicating to her team that there are reduced opportunities for promotion or new projects coming up, and that they may be layoffs. At any time in any workplace a certain fraction of people are actively looking for a new job, and another, usually much larger fraction are open to a move, might be hearing from recruiters, etc. A manager can create a mood of "if you have a decent offer, you should take it" without making people's lives miserable.
The only people I’ve seen ask that have been normal subscribers, not contributors or even owners. So, I feel like you might need to source your statement.
“Manage out” sounds suspiciously like “constructive dismissal” to me. Not only unethical but illegal to varying degrees across many jurisdictions. Could get pricey!

The book "The Molecule of More"[1] presents differences in conservatives' and liberals' mind traits, with descriptions of studies attempting to make someone conservative/liberal using drugs.

Overall, conservatives are more conventional and less predisposed to try new things. This may suggest that they are less likely to follow modern knowledge on healthy lifestyle, introduce nutritional changes, increase physical activity or get vaccinated.

Religion may play a part, too. If you believe that your health is out of your control, you may not me inclined to do any changes.

That seems unlikely, since Debian won't be installing the proprietary nvidia driver by default, but Ubuntu makes that easy IIRC.
That’s beyond question and if you are asking it you’re fooling yourself. You can take a look at the output of their engineers as an example (React, Native, Cassandra). We are talking billions. Your run of the mill software company isn’t building this kind of tech. You can hate on Meta all you want. But let’s not deny the facts.
Me, too. So many of my friends have said much the same thing, too.

Facebook has gone out of their way to be as horrible as possible. And their product is miserable, and they never update the user side. The last significant change was to add emojis six years ago, and that took them many years to do.

If they didn't have an effective monopoly, they'd be long gone.
Yes yes, we all know you would wake up like a Sultan in his harem if you were facebook CEO
This decision only affects non-free firmware blobs. Proprietary drivers like Nvidia or Broadcom still have to be installed separately. So I don't think it'll help much in that regard.
The funny part is that most of the dumbass crypto initiatives are largely in profit (mostly by dumping their tokens on retail investors) while the hyped unicorn startups can’t make a dime in profit.
> Overall, conservatives are more conventional and less predisposed to try new things.

So, conservatives are more ... conservative?

Hi, thank you for your comment. It's a good idea, I'll add this section.

I was convinced that the fact that the name of the project is a direct reference to a well-known programming technique (hooking), negates the need to explain what I thought was obvious.

Thanks for drawing my attention to it. I will also explain why the library makes use of decoration (in the previous iteration it didn't, so yes there is a need to explain the motivation).

In Denmark, it's not so unusual for there to be one price for cash or debit card, and a surcharge for credit cards, especially foreign ones.

While there's currently no den date for the swap, I'm pretty sure there will be one in a few years and then all stamps from stamp collections world wide will be worthless.

European countries did the same when the Euro came and they made a ton of money by being able to devaluate all stamp collections...

(you have to consider that stamp collection was a huge thing but now is no longer so that when stamp collectors die many collections enter the market...)
> It has nothing to do with politics.

I'm a bit confused how you come to this conclusion when the section you quote from the report says the lack of vaccination uptake is to blame along party lines.

overwhelmed medical infrastructure would hit both political parties equally. Unless you're suggesting that democrats in Florida have access to democrat-only-hospitals...

In the end a mic is just a converter of air movement to electricity fluctuations. The hard part in measurement mics is that they don't show any characteristic that deviates from the expectation both in the time and frequency domain.

Calibration files can help you in the frequency domain (provided that mic is stable over it's lifetime), but the time domain is a different beast as in: if we play a square click how well can the mic reproduce the square and/or what kind of artifacts are added by it.

In the end the question is, how important calibration is for your purpose. If you are a hobbyist, I would even say, you don't really need it more than once. If you mix/master productions that have high budgets maybe spending a little bit more on making sure everything works makes more sense.

If you are the hobbyist, maybe renting is a good option?

Salaries here in India shot up 100-200%. 35 year old engineers were making more money than leading heart surgeons with 35 years of work experience.

My XDR has been pretty flawless, and on the less exorbitantly priced end, I've had good experiences with a few business oriented IPS models (most recently the Samsung UR55).

My main gripe is gaming monitors seem to be consistently the worst panels they can get their hands on.

It seems like they realize gamers will put up with a lot of garbage in exchange for raw "power" and take full advantage of the fact. I'm 99% sure that's why we saw brands like Wasabi Mango (who used to take B grade panels and sell them on the cheap) disappeared... the manufacturers just started shipping them as gaming models.

That may be so, but I do not find this difference to be as obvious as it is to you, and would hesitate before assuming it’s self evident.

For example, I see very little difference in terms of character; the variations between essentially boil down to respective levels of access to effective weaponry, geographical access to their enemies, and specific “enemy” groups.
I think some compromises might be necessary but I think the insistence on open source drivers is otherwise pretty important. Yes, mobil OS are successful, but they still suck. The hardware and software situation restricts users massively. I wouldn't ever want that for a desktop computer.
