cenamus··on Tesla to wind down Cybertruck production
Basically every trade in Europe seems to use either vans or vehicles like a Mercedes Sprinter with a flatbed (don't know the proper term. Those still seat 3 people and have a huge bed, all with a regular license.
cenamus··on US boy names that became girl names and vice versa
Indo european languages mostly, probably
cenamus··on Txoko: Basques' traditional feast a gastronomic peek into a culture (2024)
> only extant language in mainland Europe

Small correction: Hungarian, Finnish, Estonian and the Sámi languages of the very North are also not Indo-European, but Uralic languages. Not isolates though.

cenamus··on C++26 Contracts: Introduction to Preconditions and Postconditions
They are basically asserts that you can put in headers. Which is great because asserts are usually useless to IDEs because you only get the headers for libraries.

And with the 'observe' mode you can turn them on in production code right away and collect data without a failed assert terminating.

cenamus··on The United Kingdom generates less electricity per person than in the 1970s
0.11 to 0.25 is not even a 150% increase
cenamus··on Cyberattack halts construction of tunnel between Denmark and Germany
How does firebombing the British PMs home benefit Russia? How does flying explosive laden drones into European airports benefit them? How does bombing Kiev benefit them? Russia still does it
cenamus··on Writing Efficient C++ Code (2013)
Is the improvement from using std:variant vs polymorphism just due to the indirection you save on?
cenamus··on ASML says it sold 'absolutely nothing' in Europe in 2026
Yes, but but but evil regulations and bureaucracy
cenamus··on PDF Forgeries Are Surprisingly Rare (2022)
Are you talking about vapes?
cenamus··on Implementation of GCC's Nested Functions (vs. C++ Lambdas)
Can't you convert non-capturing lambdas to function pointers?
cenamus··on Dyson CameraJet: The only toothbrush with a camera and a jet
That whole mouth brush is also crazy exspensive, while I'd assume Philips' Sonicare line is well and profitable
cenamus··on Could we dredge the Netherlands without fossil fuels? (2018)
Yeah, I think they usually move them with tractors that have a special attachment that sort of holds them
cenamus··on C++26: Standard Library Hardening Experiments
They solve completely different problems though
cenamus··on Could we dredge the Netherlands without fossil fuels? (2018)
Those giant bucket wheel excavators are also electrically powered, by cables. And they use up to 16 MW, so I wouldn't call it completely unrealistic.

Of course running them over some dirt is easier than through possibly moving water, but still.

cenamus··on Semaglutide linked to lower predicted dementia risk
I guess probably only take the pill n out of 7 days a week? With the long half life you'd probably get the same effect as cutting the pills
cenamus··on Taxi drivers rarely die of Alzheimer's
You'd also need to mount them facing up, pretty inconvenient when driving
cenamus··on Google fixed more Chrome bugs in June than over the past two years, thanks to AI
But them it's more like AI assisted performance fuzzing? Just throw stuff against some measuring harness and see what sticks?
cenamus··on Does Speaking to Agents Like Cavemen Save 65% of Tokens? We Test
If you translate English literally (a very analytical language) to a very synthetic language (eg. Latin), it also sounds like caveman spreak
cenamus··on German Peasants' War
tábor is also Czech for "camp" (probably the same in Polish/Slovak, but originally from Turkic I think).

Whether the town or term came first...

cenamus··on Third Drone Shot Down in Three Days in Romanian Territory
Russia has had more casualties than the UK/US/France combined in WW2
cenamus··on German Peasants' War
Same for the Hussites in Bohemia (although a bit earlier, but pretty similar).

With Jan Žižka they also had arguably one of the best commanders in history, up there with Alexander and Hanibal

cenamus··on An ESP32 based plane radar for my desk
The browser connects to a webserver running on the ESP32. Over wifi -> over the air. OTA doesn't mean headless or automatic
cenamus··on An ESP32 based plane radar for my desk
GPS is over 1 GHz, but I don't think you need to have a microcontroller running that fast to decode it?
cenamus··on My security camera shipped a GitHub admin token in its login page
Czech for 'page not found'
cenamus··on The PImpl idiom and the C++26 std:indirect type
The C++ core guideline support library has it.

https://github.com/microsoft/GSL/blob/main/docs/headers.md#u...

What do you mean by move-out unique_ptr? That the not_null ptr type would ne null after it's been moved?

In that case that's just a plain usage error, same as how you could memset it to null.

cenamus··on REO Trucks I4 4WD Pickup Truck Starts at $21,500
They show a 28k Ford in the comparison.
cenamus··on SQLite should have (Rust-style) editions
I hope we're getting it for C++ with CppFront, but I'm not hopeful it'll ever become mainstream

cenamus··on The 'absolute magic' of Morse code that still connects people globally
Related https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Diving_Bell_and_the_Butter...

Wrote a memoir by blinking at the right time going through the alphabet ordered by frequency

cenamus··on QuadRF can spot drones and see WiFi through my wall
I think you'll be very interested in this awesome project

cenamus··on The glass backbone: Why the Army's logistics will break in the next war
I don't think Iran has SOTA air defences, compared to what the US and Ukraine are using.
