The "sugar daddy effect" sounds an awful lot like benefiting from anticompetitive practices to the net detriment of society.

Does that mean managers are incentivised not to let go of underperformers?

>So, what to do if the original title is misleading?

Complain about it in a comment so that people who don't click the link are aware it's misleading. It's not attacking OP.

'eat your own lunch before someone else does'

When I was a junior my manager was in a different country. What's the difference? It's like how companies didn't used to support WFH right up until the moment they wanted you to take some work home for unpaid overtime.

Sorry to be all 'yet you participate in society' about it but it's notable that you're choosing to have this conversation on an international, text-only website on a Sunday rather than in a local public space. Nothing beats in-person interactions, except perhaps the ability to interact with a community with niche knowledge that's thousands of times larger than what's within a 30 minute drive.

Post-covid WFH discussions have led to a collective amnesia about this. We also spent buckets of time complaining about offices before it because almost every employer made decision like yours. Most offices were terrible places to work and non-technical managers ignored common sense and science to cram as many people as possible into their existing real estate costs. We'd gone from yearning for personal rooms from our cubicles to yearning for cubicles from our loud open-plan spaces.

If an STL container lacks a method, it's a hint that 'here be dragons'. For example, random access of a std::list: it's possible, but you don't want the uninformed to be doing it without considering the consequences simply because it's easy to write.

What do you do about the memory allocated for the first element? That's a decision for the programmer to think about, not for the standard to enforce. A std::deque may deallocate.

Additionally, you can just do:

    std::stack<T, std::vector<T>>

to get pop.

Political debate is such a waste of time. Why bother? Instead, write a book wrapping up all of your pet hates in the form of an antagonist, point a neon sign at them calling them evil, then use them to 'prove' that anything superficially similar in real life is also evil. AI? IDK, sounds a bit like Skynet! Once it's in a book or a film, it's unassailable.

Hopefully the new Dune films will maintain its political leanings so a new generation will be able to 'prove' the rationality of feudalism and the radical efficiency of military sapphism.

As a child I could never tolerate watching my friends play Pokemon for that reason. You can increase the text speed from the processional default but none of them ever did.

Would you rather have $10 or 10% of the rights to $100 in a safe?

I can run x86 Steam games on Windows for Arm because Microsoft added x86 emulation.

I can't run Mac Steam games on Mac because Apple dropped 32-bit support.

20 years ago nobody spent any money on smartphones. Now, the money spent on them has created billions of processors with magnitudes more power than the spacecraft we're being wistful about. Consumerism rerouted itself to forwarding science.

And that's just a device for watching cat videos. The carry-over between rockets and modern technology like hypersonic missiles is even greater - which is why we invented the space race to begin with.

Oh, just identify the bots.

Anecdata: I have reported CSAM on (what was) Twitter which it judged was not against the rules.

Millions of developer hours and hundreds of millions of dollars spent developing hugely complex software just so that the omnibox's default target is bing.com instead of google.com

A strange species.

Perhaps we should eat in a manner that is compatible with life.

Survey foot or international foot?

>I thought SoftBank bought them, making them a Japanese company?

What a weird metric for determining the nationality of a company. Intel are publicly traded: are they stateless?

Real term cuts & ageing populace

Tying EVE online outcomes to real world markets is a guaranteed way to disrupt real world markets.

Tenso. Service agnostic, just use the provided address.

I just uninstall the app between orders.

What a strange reply. Most people on this site do know their CEO and are able and willing to leave jobs when they disagree with their direction. I have done it myself.

I don't agree it is continually, I see Chrome as already in the 'extinguish' phase. Chrome was able to make the improvements faster than competitors because - without an bottomless money engine in the form of a search monopoly - they weren't competitors at all. The price we pay for a few years of higher performance may be many more years of reduced innovation from competition.

>It's not a standalone product that has its own revenue sources.

The question reveals the problem.

Just as the fact nobody is testing nuclear weapons suggests they don't exist.

Less than the salary of their software engineers.

They don't let you buy 1/3rd of a bottle :(

>aging engines

Gaming companies get a lot of crap for this - it seems unfair. The OS I'm using to write this is a relative newcomer at only 30 years old. Obviously, it has changed a lot in that time, but so have the engines. Most software doesn't get rewritten, it evolves.
