  • Nah, I assume it's more like some unconscious dude shows up at your house with a weirdly sharp penis, he impregnates the house, and then the house explodes and a bunch of little dudes spill out.

  • Imagine if we discovered a creature that evolved fourth-dimensional sensory organs (aka time eyes) that it used to predict its prey. From the outside, it would just appear to have absurd reaction speed. Such a creature might have a strange relationship with time, perhaps appearing to sleep most of the day because they already know what's going to happen. I'm here today to tell you that cats are this creature.

  • With less matter for the photons to interact with, I assume the WiFi's SNR would be improved. If fewer data frames need to be retransmitted at the link layer (WiFi), I figure the apparent bitrate at the IP level might actually be improved!

    Actually, I would not be shocked if WiFi itself adapts to conditions, e.g. by sending less data per frame with more error correction bits when SNR is already low.

    (Not a networking expert, I am just bullshitting.)

  • In practice, I tend to agree. It's easier to avoid shooting yourself in the foot with C++, but it's still just waiting for you to screw up.

    I'm mainly getting at Undefined Behavior (UB), which both C and C++ have plenty of. This article from Raymond Chen has some excellent concrete examples: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20140627-00/?p=633

  • The C++ side gives you what you need to create your own seat belt: spools of razor wire and clippers to remove the sharp edges (but no gloves). If you cut yourself, it's your own damn fault. Real developers have discipline.

  • Just to add another anecdatum, I had the exact same experience installing Windows 11 this year. I have never had this much trouble installing an OS in the 20 years I've been screwing with computers.
