Walking outside with 40°C is not "enjoying the beautiful weather", it is miserable. Air conditioning only solves part of the problem.

I can pay with iDEAL without interacting with a smartphone, using only my laptop and a physical 2FA device provided by my bank. Do you know if this will be possible with Wero?

Why does it have to be a phone? Some people still use tablets, laptops and, believe it or not, desktop PCs.

I did not know about this. I used it on Fedora, and I thought Fedora was as close to "default GNOME" as possible.

Can I use this feature to generate an airplane ticket? :P I think "create" is the confusing part. It should be "digitize" or something. Either this, or "pass" means something else here.

Lucky you, I guess. In all the companies I worked for I have had a company-provided Windows laptop where the OS was managed by IT. The degree of freedom (e.g. what software could I install, what websites were blocksd) varied.

I am a European in Europe and I expect the same. Why would I assume otherwise? The company laptop is full of spyware, starting from the OS. I have no reason to consider it "mine", and no desire to do so. If I want to do anything p

I agree with you, but considering the state of modern software, I think the values "truth and correctness" have been abandoned by most developers a long time ago.

I see what you mean now, thanks. To reproduce that example with std::variant I would need some kind of strong type alias, which as far as I know is missing from C++; so the only feasible way to do that would be wrapping the string in anothe

I am not sure what you mean, you can definitely have e.g. an std::variant<int, std::string, bool> Which is a sum of those three types.

Since C++17 there is std::variant https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/variant.html

> or that you don't own the device you use (which makes it unacceptable) It's already like this, unless you go out of your way to install a custom Android rom, which 99.9% of people will never do. I agree it is unacceptable.

But dog breeds are much more diverse than humans. For example, a chihuahua weights about 2kg, a St. Bernard about 70kg. That's a 35x size difference.

I think this is related to the C++ standard library implementation. Using pthread in C, for example, TBB is not required. Not sure about C11 threads, but I have always thought that GLIBC just uses pthread under the hood.

This seems to be the best guess so far. But then I am wondering, how is a (*) b + c Parsed then? The precedence of '* is bumped down, but does that mean it has now strictly lower precedence of '+', or the same? In th
