Yeah, looks pretty straightforward to me, but I used to write C++ for a living. I mean, there are complicated cases in C++ starting with C++11, this one is not really one of them. Just init the fields to false. Most of these cases is just C++ trying to bring in new features without breaking legacy code, it has become pretty difficult to keep up with it all.

Have you seen JPEG XL source code? I like the format, but the reference implementation in C++ looked pretty bad at least 2 years ago. I hope they rewrote it, because it surely looked like a security issue waiting to happen.

I actually wanted to try webtop for a long time, and did it only recently. I could not figure out these selkies for the life of me. It wanted a bunch of ports, was complaining about something all the time (don't remember, it's been a month). Might be a skill issue, but I've been using docker for the past 10 years. Moreover they want root access to the host system, which kind of defies one of the reasons to use containers. Is there a video that explains the benefits in a good way? I mean, if it's for gaming only, I can understand the use-case, but say you just want to run something like Gnu Radio in a container, why would I need 60 fps and root permissions for that.

Sentry consumes around 200W on Intel Atom and camera based detection enabled. I'd say it's a total overkill. It even heats up the display pretty good when it's relatively chilly outside.

> A plugged well is injected with high pressure concrete to/past the impermeable rock layers, past the multiple steel/concrete well casings that travels through aquifers.

Now imagine having hundreds of old oil wells around, some of them are rusted out and can totally transfer fluids up from down under to the water table level.

They probably need to inspect every well and make sure it's properly plugged with concrete, not just a cap on top.

I think Half-Life Alyx would qualify

Personally, I've seen JPEG XL source code and I'd rather not have it in my production, unless it's rewritten or at least security audited / Google fuzz-tested. It's a bit of a mess (the last time I checked was 6 months ago)

Yeah I had the same feeling around the time MD was out, I think it was fixed by 4k and a bigger TV

It's on-die, but it's not really any faster. The latency and bandwidth are pretty OK by today's standards. I suspect it's on-die because M1/M2 grew out of mobile CPUs. You might be referring to fast SSDs, but that's mainly true only for Pro versions. People who need >32 GB RAM usually know why they need it, you cannot really be running simulations out of your SSD swap. I'm not saying it's a proper use-case for a MacBook, I'm just saying that this guy might have some special requirements that do not align well with Apple laptops price-wise.

I had my 6S until last summer (when I upgraded to 11 non-pro, it's the last iphone with a non-flickering screen right now)

They did release the update to 12th though, and reportedly there's going to be an update to 13th.
