Now we're talking. Related: how do you feel about shorting TSLA? Or GOOG? If you think its appropriate to do so, what fraction of your net income or worth are you willing to place on that bet? I'm pretty sure they're overpriced, but I'm not kilobucks/month sure.
Now you're paying a form of interest to borrow someone else's house on a floating rate. The price of the underlying asset continues to increase, which applies upward pressure on the cost to borrow the asset.
Bob's N+1th house is an investment.
... with a specific set of mutating operations that (may) alter the container's structure (eg, element insertions and removals).
Altering the value of one element of the container doesn't invalidate iterators or references to any element. You can make as many mutating passes over a std::vector as you like without invalidating anything.
Things only start to get dicey when you push_back(), insert(), erase(), etc.
Some web request went badly. We're concerned about leaking internal details to the caller. So, you reply with a generic error code, log something about it for operator investigation, and make sure that any other state changes were rolled back along the way.
Condition systems invert that relationship. Its not just a failure to open a file, but a failure to open one specific file for a specific use case in the pipline out of several that are needed in total. In a condition system, the caller needs to set up a handler for each one of those use cases, and possibly bind some additional discriminating information to the arguments to disambiguate them on the way back up the stack.
If a reasonable fallback policy is available, I'd much rather partition the pipeline up such that the fallbacks are applied on a case-by-case basis in the control flow of the caller. Idiomatic Python code does this all the time with exceptions. Idiomatic code with Optional types does so, too. Both methods are well-suited to the task, and I have never found myself wishing for a condition system when using them.
Just an idea to check the "append" box.

Linux and Windows both have partitioned schedulers, available through per-process and per-thread affinity masks. So it doesn't seem like it should be all that hard to implement. Its "just" a matter of expressing the process's (thread's?) requirements.

PlanetiQ is operating the world's most powerful GNSS Radiooccultation (GNSS-RO) instrument in Earth orbit. GNSS-RO is a method to measure the Earth’s atmosphere by observing how the timing signals from GPS and related satellites follow bent paths as they graze the Earth’s atmosphere. The total bending angle of the path is a function of the temperature, pressure, and humidity of the air along the path. By positioning our satellites in low-earth orbit, we can collect well over 2000 atmospheric soundings per day from each of our receiving satellites as the ray paths intersect the Earth’s horizon in front of and behind the receiver. The soundings are in turn consumed by global weather and climate prediction models. GNSS-RO data is complementary to existing downward-looking Earth-observing satellites which operate in microwave, infrared, and visual spectra. Since our measurements are along ray paths that take vertical slices in space, they reveal fine details about the vertical structure of the atmosphere which are unique to our technology.
As we build out the GNOMES constellation of receiving satellites, we are also building out a scientific relational data warehouse to process our data from the field. The data warehouse supports realtime and post-processing analyses for both internal use and customer data delivery.

Justifying the complexity of an interface by appeal to caste system is pretty poor, IMO.
A very common methodology for solving big problems is to break them down into smaller problems, solve each one in turn, and compose them together. In other words, we use library-oriented programming. A productive feature in a programming language makes it easy to both create the library elements of the solution and to compose them together.
The operating cost is essentially independent of power output.
What's stopping the other leading brands from implementing columnar storage, queries, and such with a COLUMN MAJOR table attribute?
The painful ABI break at C++11 is a big part of why implementors were so opposed to allowing another ABI break in C++20.
Most complaints about Verilog from VHDL people come from outdated notions of the current state of the language and its tooling.
The Aztecs had a complex system involving cacao seeds, strips of cloth, and "hoe money" for larger values. But while all three of these were used as a unit of account, they were also consumed directly as commodities.
Prior to the technological migration of metal coinage, ancient East Asia used shell money. These were almost exclusively used as a medium of exchange, and were not directly consumed as a commodity.
Standardized metal coinage was almost certainly invented only once by the ancient Mediterranean culture. Part of why the story "money replaces barter" is told is because this invention disrupts and rapidly replaces every other system that it touches for the next several hundred years, until the entire Old World is using metal coinage of some sort.
If you decide that the way things were done way back when on the release branch isn't quite how you want to proceed in the future, you just amend the message to reflect the additional changes. The SHA is still there to reach back and see how things were done in the first place.
4% of the entire workforce is massive.
4% of unemployed workers who were previously receiving unemployment benefits is irrelevant.
If you zoom out, you'll see that the biggest drops in unemployment benefits weren't in the 2021Q2, they were in 2020Q4.

Social media has optimized the process of finding groups of people that think just exactly like you do. The fact that you are listening to one specific echo chamber that feels this way does not tell you that the entire industry feels this way.
Consider the following counter-example: United Airlines also has a vaccine mandate, and got well over 99% compliance.
