This sounds pragmatic, but are you writing C++ executables that when run create the generated code? Are there templating libraries involved?

Aren't these services (and even adblockers) against YouTube's TOS? As much as I don't like ads as the next person, my Google account is one thing I don't want to risk.

Anybody hear of this happening or think it's a possibility down the road?

Does the demo show the AI with the prompt to "Schedule standup tomorrow at 10am. Invite [email protected]" scheduling a meeting at 10am TODAY, which also was already five hours in the past?

Makes me worried about AI with internet access...

This reminds me of the Crusader Blade mod which combines Crusader Kings 3 and Banner Lord 2 to let you fight the normally simulated fights in CK3 in the battlefield of BL2, and passes results back and forth between the two interfaces.

I was interested in the numbers from covid.cdc.gov

Theses are 7-day metrics for positive cases. - California: 59,487 - Florida: 179,586 - Massachusetts: 49,628 - New York: 93,309

Would this require me to make 53 different votes? This sounds a like pretty complicated situation to expect educated votes for all 53 votes.

From the end of the article, Uber explains why they recycled the old bikes not transferred to Jump in the sale,

> But given many significant issues - including maintenance, liability, safety concerns, and a lack of consumer-grade charging equipment - we decided the best approach was to responsibly recycle them.

Unfortunately seems to most responsible way to handle these bikes. I see the charging issue being a major problem. Trek just switched their rentable bikes to electric in my city, I wonder if they face the same fate.

And settle down everyone, they are being recycled, not dumped in a hole.

Isn't authentication just as important as encryption for secure communication?

What is the benefit of being both anonymous and encrypted?

How is this different from a sparse autoencoder?

If the fingerprint somehow gets embedded into the screen protector, is it possible that the screen protector is "tainted" with the fingerprint from previous usage?

I'm not dismissing the claims, but I would like to see if the behavior can be replicated with a brand new screen protector.

I think Touch ID on a laptop / desktop would make a lot of sense. I don't actually know any of my passwords.

This isn't a problem if, like me, Windows manages to corrupt itself and is unable to perform a Windows update.

A little over a year ago the automatic update failed, I've tried all sorts of ways to get an updated version of Windows, but they have all failed. My research seems to point me to a full reinstall of Windows.

But my computer hasn't restarted arbitrarily in over a year!

The unfortunate reality is that this is perfectly legal.

I feel you are out of the loop with the whole net neutrality fiasco (https://www.eff.org/issues/net-neutrality)

Exactly, without a server to fetch dependencies from you can still manage your local cache.

Just to break down your complaints.

1. Conan does not require a server. If a project contains a conanfile.py with build instructions, you can also run `conan create` from a project's source repository (no server required).

2. You can easily force build dependencies with the `--build *` flag

"The Cloud" is like storing your data with skywriting, you can see it from many locations, but so can your neighbors

I agree that there is a philosophical discussion to be had, but the actual request was to change his official date of birth from March 11, 1949 to March 11, 1969 which is just ridiculous.

I think logfile analysis is a perfect example. Regex could be the perfect tool for one-shot analysis of logs. But if you are writing an actual commercial application to do logfile analysis, regex is probably not the right tool.

There is a saying (which I can't remember the source) that I always thought described regex perfectly in my experience.

"Beginner programmers don't understand regex, good programmers understand regex, the best programmers don't use regex."

I've found regex is a poor choice in production systems because it is very hard to maintain (which this library tries to address) and very hard to test (which this library does not address).

However, regex is perfect for that complicated one-time find and replace.

For global or namespace functions you can hide the implementation in the .cpp file.

Doing the same with objects require pointers to hide the details of any private members. A common pattern is called Pointer to IMPLemenation (PIMPL).

Not sure why we need to exclude pointers?

In c++14 this is very much simplified with the use of unique pointers.

std::unique_ptr<Foo> make_foo(...);
