> Defense show = super expensive

Really depends; there you can see both Lockmart exhibiting multi-billions project, and 150m after some Serbian company selling jet engines for UAVs for a couple hundreds.

But sysadmins should be there to deploy stuff and make sure the infra does its job, not get bogged down handholding some dev that can't even compile a project.

> That might have some defense application considering what's going on in Eastern Europe right now.

This is a bog-standard phased-array RDF calibrated for WiFi freqs; that stuff is already in every single defense show.

Also, that's why there's jamming everywhere (to blind that kind of things) and why many UAVs are now tethered to optical fibers instead of being RF-controlled.

At some point, shouldn't installing a venv be a pre-requisite to actually be hired as a dev?

> Don't forget this is a text editor, not [a] general purpose automation harness

This arguable. I personally use emacs for text editing for sure, but not only: it also does emails (notmuch), git (magit), team & project management (org), mastodon, fleet management (nix + colmena + custom elisp functions), and, more importantly, all these “applications” can mutually share data.

So can you use emacs as a text editor only? Sure. Can you leverage its intrinsic abilities to reach what might be called an automation harness? Yes as well.

Having B1 seems like a really lenient condition to get citizenship. I got B2 after 6 months of Erasmus, and I have B1 in Russian even though I never even stepped in the country.

Have you even tried to learn German, and if so what is so hard that you can't even get B1, although you stayed long enough to have kids speaking natively the language?

Or the deadline was closing in, as this is a university thesis ;)

Because for some reason, our societies decided that cancer caused by radiation = bad, cancer caused by air pollution = OK.

Of course real life has outlines. Look at these for instance:

Displays & controls are thematically grouped and/or framed, each button/rotary/switch has a color that constrasts from the background, and there are strong 3D clues to see what's a button, and what's a label or the background.

Indeed, and I highly recommend this website for some stunning examples of the technique.

> They're definitely rare. Mirror's Edge is almost 20 years old

You probably didn't play many FPS recently: from the top of my mind, CS2, Battlefield {1, V, 6}, CoD {BO3, Vanguard, MWIII}, Control, the Borderlands, Far Cry {5, 6}, CP2077, Fallout {3, NV, 4}, Destiny, Prey, Valorant, Rainbow 6, Apex, Overwatch, all have female player characters.

And if CS2/CoD/BF/Valorant/Destiny/Apex have female players, that's more or less 90% of the current market.

I took a glance at the the most played FPS list from Steam[0], but I was too lazy to scroll far enough to find one without a playable female character.

Not all CVEs are RCE. This one[1] for instance is go's nil-dereference caused.

Nope. The C++ memory models is designed around no hidden/non-deterministic memory allocation.

If you try to allocate 10MB on the stack, that's the dev problem if the program fails, it's not the compiler job to guesstimate whether something will fit there or not (and it's impossible anyway, the compiler can't know all the stack sizes a program will ever run on).

Your second paragraph doesn't hold after one minute spent reading the CVEs list.

> comes with batteries included

I like CL, but I can't agree that a stdlib that doesn't even have a string split function is batteries-included.

> Even in c++ could you not just define some int [1000][1000]foo?

If it fits on the stack, yes.

Typical code using MD-arrays is scientific code, and the data they manipulate generally do not fit there.

And a function call is just a fancy JMP, still it's generally acknowledged to be better to have all the bookkeeping automated.

Kind of, at least in France? Our privacy-nefarious laws have been passed by both left- and right-leaning governments. It seems that if there is something the elite agrees upon, it is that the plebeians should be kept in check.
