I knew about the difference they have between UNIX-like OSs in the usage of different signals (and the System V vs BSD battles, between others), but I didn't know Windows didn't have a similar system (I haven't done too much low-level in Windows).
I really like how some good structures used by other languages, specially Rust and Zig, have been added to the newer C++ standard.
The Result, Optional, and Variant are really sweet for day-to-day use of the language, and those in-process standard libraries of SIMD operations, BLAS mathematical functions, and the the execution library looks really cool, specially as standard.
I would like C++ would be a little more "batteries included" in some ways, like having a basic standard for signals, networking (just handling sockets would be a huge thing), and some basic system calls.
I wonder if some Apple-made software, like Final Cut, make use of all of those "duplicated" instructions at the same time for getting a better performance...
I know how just the multitasking nature of the OS probably make this situation happens across different programs, but nonetheless would be pretty cool!
We already have some USB-C flash drives. Isn't just more practical to have USB-C keyboards, mice, and other devices like that instead of conserving the USB A?
IIRC some countries, like UK, have a similar thing like Credit Score, mostly used for what type of loans they can give you, max credit card limits, and other financial products, but won't affect at all to buy a car in cash or renting an apartment.
For me it's crazy not being able to rent a place even paying a whole year beforehand.
You can avoid this problem easily not letting students using phones or computers in the classroom and making doing more tasks at the classroom than at home.
If you're going to say "but in a working environment you use a computer", then teach them how to use text processing and spreadsheets int the computer room, a thing that didn't happen today in most schools btw.
In my Uni we still had some coding test done with pen and paper (2014-2018), and AFAIK, they're still doing them. I even done a part of an exam in assembly with a provided Xilinx PicoBlaze assembly mnemonics list.
I don't know why people demonize them. If you know the syntax you're asked for, you can write in that language, and if you were asked to write in pseudo-code some algorithms, you should be able without any additional computerize help.
If someone doesn't make the simple effort to synthesise their thoughts in a text message short audio message, and instead of that, make a long audio message without too much content, I won't be the person who make the effort to listen to a 2-5 min. of audio.
Fortunately, most of the people I care don't do that, and that only happened to me with others. Anyway, I find this as a lack of respect to the other person for wasting their time.
Lots of local and regional governments in Europe encourage people to not use the toilet or the sink as a trash can. The wastewater is usually treated before arriving to rivers and other places, so the cleanest is the water, the easiest is to treat it.
Leisure time is a human need btw, I learnt it too late after a burnout.
