You're probably not. Programming in lisp,back in my college days, felt enlightening. I remember flying through quiet complex projects with a clarity that I've rarely experienced in my professional career. I do yearn for those days when I'm deep within a nonsensical "enterprise" Java codebase or a messy frontend codebase but I don't think Lisp made me an objectively "better" programmer. There is enough imposter syndrome in this industry as it is. If you ever want to, pick up SICP or "How to design programs", you'll probably find them interesting but don't expect to find programming nirvana.
I realize that they have had many failures in their long history but it seems like they have been on a roll since the iPod release 22 years ago. Do you know of any product flop from Apple in the last two decades? I'm genuinely curious.
I found that as a result, dialog was clearer. I really hate how loud everything other than dialog is in most movies for the sake of 'immersion'. I eventually gave up and settled on using subtitles when I don't want to miss any parts of a conversation.
You're definitely not having a stroke. Here is another thread discussing the same thing. I specifically remember the 'polycule' comments. It was my first time learning about that word.
I wouldn't say they are ignoring it. Case in the point that guide, you linked, recommends targeting recommends using C++17 which I think qualifies as modern. Compiler support for some of the newer features of C++2x hasn't matured yet.[0] That recommendation to avoid them seems sensible.
A tomahawk with a 1000 lbs warhead weighs 2900 lbs (or 3500 lbs with a booster)[1]. It's a long range missile so, it is probably possible to achieve a better ratio for something shorter range but I have doubts regarding quadcopters like the ones discussed in the article being able to do so by virtue of how fixed wing craft (which the tomahawk is IMHO).
Thanks for digging it up! It did help. As Slymon99 had pointed out, Facebook doesn't earn the same amount from each user. Something I hadn't taken into account.
That number seems wildly off. Facebook's annual revenue for 2020 was $85.97 Billion[1]. With 2.8 Billion monthly active users, they'd need to charge $3 a month to exceed that number.
