You would need to add at least a couple of 0s for it to even begin to seem reasonable.

Ish.

I would not trust C++ for safety-critical work as MISRA can only limit features, it can't add support for contracts.

There have been other dialects of C++ - Aspect-Oriented C++ and Feature-Oriented C++ being the two that I monitored closely. You can't really do either by using subsetting, regardless of mechanism.

IMHO, it might be easier to reverse the problem. Instead of having specific subsets for specific tasks, where you drill down to the subset you want, have specific subsets for specific mechanisms where you build up to the feature set you need.

Oh, absolutely. These days, I spend so much time checking the output from computers, it would normally have been quicker to do searches by hand. This is... not useful.

I can fully understand that.

Nothing from that era has survived into the modern consciousness. You could maybe argue the 60's, since Star Trek and Doctor Who are still being produced.

Don't see too many cars on walking paths and sidewalks. The number of e-bikes on walking paths and sidewalks has skyrocketed. It's almost as if someone decided being a pedestrian is a sinful activity, and that every walkway must now be infested with morons on wheels.

Then let me get started on mobility scooters.

I'd just like them banned from walking paths. At least once a day I'm getting some crazy asshole ringing his bell as he comes flying up behind me. I'm not a fan of any kind of bike on walking paths, but at least the people on regular bikes have more control. The worst are probably older riders who often seem like they're barely in control. And the three wheeled ones take up outrageous amounts of space on smaller paths, regularly forcing other users on some of the narrower paths I frequent to get to the side of the road.

It's hard to imagine, short of motor vehicles, anything more hazardous to a pedestrian than some stupid prick on an e-bike.

Yeah but i don't use the app or go often enough so i end up sitting at the entrance, wasting 1-2 min logging into the damned app, to flash the card. Easier to just grab it out of wallet. "everything being an app" is getting so tiring.

Indeed, I fully agree. The funny thing is, monthly numbers would help us move away from the distortions of the quarterly cycle. If key data reporting becomes frequent enough, you can't get into a cycle of "do adverse-numbers stuff early in the quarter and then cram positive-numbers stuff into the end of the quarter". You have to - *gasp* - just run your business normally.

Some businesses could still manage to switch to a monthly cycle, but anyone who deals significantly in transoceanic feedstocks/parts/goods shipments won't be able to.

BLS numbers aren't some sort of dark art. They're literally just the compiled numbers reported by companies. Numbers are what they are. To fight against jobs numbers is to fight against reality.

People get confused by the existence of revisions. The problem is that not all data gets reported in a timely manner. When late data comes in, it causes revisions to the earlier reported numbers, either up or down.

Firing the head of the BLS because you don't like what numbers US companies reported is just insane Banana Republic-level nonsense.

The product lead of intel is the person that directed them to drop the i9/i7/i5 branding that had *enormous* mindshare after a decade in favor of some bullshit like "ultra 7 AI max" or whatever. nobody outside of the marketing department actually knows what “Core Ultra” even means. It sounds less like a processor line and more like a knockoff protein powder you’d find at a discount store. AMD has been eating their lunch with clear naming and real generational performance gains, while Intel fumbles around trying to rebrand instead of innovate. Dropping i7 is not progress. It is corporate self sabotage. And the funniest part is they think customers will be impressed by it, when in reality most people will just assume Intel ran out of ideas and is now playing buzzword bingo.

what else do most people need. My ID, in case i get pulled over in bumfuck by cops that don't take digital id.
