You need to control every single library header version you are using outside your source like stdlibs, os headers, third party, and have a strategy to deal with rand/datetime variables that can be part of the binary.

on the other hand most database decisions are about finding the sweet spot compromise tailored toward the common use case they are aiming for, but your comment sound like you are expecting a magic trick.
Said who? This is an argument from invented opposition. I’m not sure anyone actually defines freedom as "a huge array of choices". The author seems to invent a mainstream narrative just to dismantle it(arguing against a straw man)
Abundance of choice and freedom are orthogonal. Having the right choice and being free are not.
The real issue here is a fundamental statistical and categorical error: the paper lumps all industries, company sizes, and maturity levels under the single umbrella of "companies" and applies one 95% figure across the board. This is misleading and potentially produces false conclusions.
How can anyone take this paper seriously when it makes such a basic mistake? Different industries have vastly different AI adoption curves, infrastructure requirements, and implementation timelines.
It's equally concerning that journalists are reporting on this without recognizing or questioning this methodological flaw.
Trying to gaslight ppl to question their reasonable reaction of std::optional transitioning from its previous behavior to an Option like behavior when no other type in C++ behaves as such is disingenuous.
Of course it is weird in the C++ context, but is it a step in the right direction? absolutely!
That's probably due to the sample bias.
It's a common pitfall to take yourself out of the equation when you are about to make assertions without evidence to back them up. The title could have been written as:
"Why do I feel everything is broken, and what can I do about it".
you will end up writing a completely different post as a result. a more sincere one, and one that is closer to the reality of the situation that needs to be addressed, and that is one's perceptions, biases, and feelings that come from our own personal experiences.
> Joy also claims that most of vi's popularity came from the fact that it was readily available and bundled with BSD, while other editors, like Emacs, could cost hundreds of dollars.
Joy was referring to the late 1970s early 80s here and in the context of making VI available when he created BSD and published it for free. Unix operating systems were not freely available outside academia back then.
I have been hanging out on HN since 2009 and I truely appreciate your dedication to keep this site civil and it definitely is one of the very few that did not degenerate over time. That's the main reason why HN is in my bookmark bar. I appologize if my comment triggered you, and I totally understand where you are coming from as well. If it was my decision, I would keep politics out of HN as I never saw anything fruitful come out of these posts and stresses out moderators as they have to police the thread and find themselves in the way of fire.
Over many iterations (minutes, hours), you accumulate the effects of these random additions. As a result, even though the distribution is binomial (or approximated Poisson), its behavior for large enough values and sums of multiple minutes becomes approximately gaussian due to CLT.
