Seasonal flu does have containment efforts - vaccination
The only real difference is the drivetrain, and only enthusiasts really care about the technical differences in ICE drivetrains. Interiors, cargo capacity, reliability, fit and finish, ride quality, etc. will all still…
A tech company is a company that is: (1) Marketed to investors as a tech company (2) Valued by investors based on the premise that they are or will become oligopolists in their market
We already do this, just with corn instead of MOFs
I guarantee you CN has lines connecting Calgary and Vancouver today.
Extremely privileged position
You're right that the tech industry is by no means uniquely guilty for creating negative externalities or for the negative effects of capitalism in general. And while the other industries you mention have taken plenty…
Are you writing a lot of FORTRAN 77 or something?
I drive a Volvo S90. I only really use the "Pilot Assist" on the highway, and once you've driven it for a while you can get a sense ahead of time what situations it will fail in. You're right though the biggest issue is…
Well, it's more like 19% of the population (or 27% of the eligible voter pop.)
Efficiency gap is a decent objective metric of fairness.
They would have to pay the ISPs? It may well benefit them in the long run by increasing the size of their moats, but it will immediately affect their bottom lines.
Time to find out how well autonomous cars will deal with potholes
Sounds like Visual mode
There are people in Detroit mourning gentrification too
Ferndale is an inner ring suburb not a neighborhood
That's on the client code. You can't stop callers from doing something stupid (or cosmic rays from flipping bits). At that point crashing fast is preferable.
For parameters where you aren't transferring ownership, just use raw pointers/references. If it's a required parameter make it a reference. If it's optional, use a pointer and check for null.
Creating objects in invalid states is definitely not idiomatic C++. I do agree that people are a little too fearful of using bare pointers for optional references, if you're using a linter that will catch possible null…
>the "vtable" (the dictionary of functions) being passed around isn't virtual and is provided per type, not per instance. This might be nitpicking but vtables in C++ are created per type with instances having a pointer…
I had always assumed that Auto-Tune had evolved from or was an advanced form of Vocoder (likely from the similar "robot" effect extreme applications of Auto-tune gives). I've been working on a relatively simple real…
For active people trying to build muscle or lose fat while preserving muscle mass, studies have shown benefits for up to 2.2g protein/kg bodyweight. Which is a lot of protein and can be hard to come by. Sure, if you're…
In 1996 your processor might be running at 150MHz. Using a standard 44.1kHz sampling rate, that doesn't give you very many cycles to get each sample processed to do this in real time.
Detroit has one of the largest concentrations of engineers in the country. Granted I'm sure a significant percentage of those are specialized in fields Amazon isn't interested in, to say they'd have to import nearly…
Oh, I'm not optimistic at all that the kind of societal shift I'm talking about will/can happen, at least in any peaceful/gentle way- that's why I said in a best case. I'm just objecting to the idea that working for a…
