The "levelling" is real in Canada and good private schools often manage to skip multiple grade levels.

Funnily enough, I've seen the opposite in the USA. My highly driven American friends somehow manage to get entire associate's degrees before finishing high school, which is unthinkable in Canada.

Instead, the global powers blocked nuclear technology from disseminating to most countries.

And in the long-term, people start fleeing the "stable" countries for already-grown ones.

Articles should be high information density and summarizable with Claude.

this is a juicy enough target to justify such a virus.

Apparently they were built in just a few months.

If you're using pinyin it's already easier than English.

Mandarin eliminates all of these problems. The tones and characters are difficult, sure, but questions and answers being grammatically identical along with consistent pinyin is a lifesaver.

I thought the point was to show how ranking industries based on "evil vibes" is subjective.

This was to prevent children from getting addicted but also leads to real life penalties for cheating in video games.

> For the same money you could spin up a bunch more QRFs and scatter them over the globe.

The argument Space Force could make is this would allow for higher talent density than dispersed QRFs. The same unit could also attack satellites or space stations.

Yeah, that's why it'd be a good way for SpaceX to make money.

I can only assume "too easy to track" is part of the logic.

Ditto for kinetic strikes. That was super hyped up.

I think the hype peaked around 2016 where Democrats were portrayed as out of touch for saying laid off coal miners could just "learn to code". By 2019 it was a cliché used to mock laid off journalists on Twitter.

If you wanted to make it easier to convert arbitrary functions to use your shiny new resizable type, you end up with something simulator to iterators.

Toronto is the textbook example of this working. It's on a freshwater lake that is deep relatively close to the shore, and the downtown has expensive real estate blocking traditional methods.

But it's not a new language. It's backwards compatible with C.

So "iterators" behave the same as pointers, since that's how you'd iterate through an array. You can add and subtract, then pass them to other functions.

You can't just have a function that returns a vector of strings, because that function would do an allocation. When is it deallocated? Before unique_ptr (the guide was written before), it'd be the caller's responsibility to manually do so.

Meaning you have to assign the output of that function to a variable every single time and manually remember to deallocated it or you get a memory leak.

C avoids this with `strtok` by destructively modifying the string in place. This is arguably worse.

If you were designing a new, non-GC, language, you'd have good ownership semantics and not allow pointer arithmetic. That'd be Rust.
