> He says he came up with the scheme while he was abusing Adderall, which he started taking to deal with his long hours at Wells Fargo.

Very loose connection there...

Okay, that I agree with.

If this happened when X, the media coverage would be like totally the opposite!

It's whataboutism to the max, literally making up a scenario to compare it to in outrage.

syspec··on Vanguard's average fee is now 0.07% after biggest-ever cut
Someone correct my math here, but if they have 10 trillion in assets under management and the management fee is 0.07% then that's still 7,000,000,000 or 7 billion in fees every year?

Not bad

syspec··on TikTok preparing for U.S. shut-off on Sunday
Because it's not necessarily about the / data privacy/, it's about the ability of a foreign adversary to influence the American populous in subtle ways over time.

That's what propaganda is and it works.

syspec··on Parallel-hashmap: drop-in replacement for unordered_map, unordered_set
From the readme:

Parallel-hashmap or GTL?

The observant among us may have noticed that I have two github repos, parallel-hashmap and gtl, which both provide very similar functionality. Indeed the hash tables in both are equivalent and the code mostly the same. The main difference is that parallel-hashmap only requires a C++11 compiler, while gtl requires a C++20 compiler.

My recommendation would be to use gtl if you are compiling with C++20 or higher, and parallel-hashmap otherwise. While the included hash maps are equivalent, gtl is where new development occurs, and it will include useful new classes.
