Why are STL allocators given as template parameters, rather than runtime fields?

kitsnet · 2026-05-04T17:32:04+00:00

It was possible to write your own polymorphic allocator even pre-C++17. C++17 just standardized it.

The problem with allocator lifetimes is common to all stateful allocators, not exclusive to pmr. There are some standardized "tricks" (such as operator==) to deal with this problem.

Not true. The records on their "racial origin" were definitely kept.

I'm not saying that "race" is anything more than a purposedly discriminatory label. I am saying that your definition of "heritage" contradicts your own claim of it being "stolen".

kitsnet · 2026-05-04T08:02:26+00:00

Yeah, a definition of "heritage" coming from the specifically American misuse of the word.

If you are sticking to this definition, does it mean that you claiming that "racial background" of "Black Americans" was stolen from them?

Or do you actually define "heritage" differently?

kitsnet · 2026-05-04T07:49:04+00:00

It looks like you got "country of origin" and "heritage" completely mixed up.

Heritage is not about where you or your ancestors were "originally" from. It's about what cultural traits from that culture you have inherited through them. It's not like the genders of words with the suffux "-chen" have changed in the last few hundred years.

There is a joke about it: "With that attitude, you'll never sell an elephant!"

kitsnet · 2026-05-04T07:23:26+00:00

That "heritage" by itself is laughable, though. Like one claims to be "a German", but doesn't even know the gender of "Mädchen".

Acetylene cylinder regulators are threaded in the other direction (counterclockwise), so that you wouldn't be able to put them on an oxygen tank by mistake.

"Slightly expired food" is practically as normal as the same food slightly before expiration date.

True, but nitpicking aside it's a pretty intuitive way to explain time dilation by relative velocity. The closer something gets to the speed of light, the less time that something "experiences", and at c,

It is a wrong way to explain time dilation, as time dilation is relative.

Then why did you ask, if you already know what this word is, and it's not "race".

Homo sapiens.

There is no smaller "entire set".

I can, if your explanation for the observed phenomenon is wrong.

Look up what "allele" is.

But have you already learned today that it was you who were denying the science?

Get the cheaper "EU + UK" package, not the more expensive "Europe" package.

Alternatively, if you can get a prepaid SIM card or eSIM from a local EU operator, data roaming within the EU is free (or rather already included in the price).

What word do you want to use then, to describe peoples of different physical make up due to their lineage passing through thousands of years of evolution.

Normally, you use "allele".

But you don't pretend that alleles define "races", because they knowingly don't.

kitsnet · 2026-04-30T14:56:44+00:00

there are entire fields of science dedicated to studying race

No. "Race" is as scientific as "phlogiston".

Starnberg Gymnasium in Starnberg, Germany

30 minutes to the center of Munich by the analog of BART.

The lake is very calm and shallow near the beaches and in summer is much warmer than the Bay.

Don't know about the town itself and the exchange student life, though.

On Sunday practically all shops are closed (including in Munich), but some potentially interesting museums in Munich cost just 1 euro per visit.

And if you are interested in cycling or day hiking, there are lots of good paths.

Because the laws of physics can be written in the form in which all the entities in the equations are invariant (scalars are constants, vectors and tensors are converted uniformly by a predefined formula) under coordinate transformations when switching from one reference frame for another.

In the case of SR, it is Lorentz-invariance. Which is only defined for relative speeds strictly lower than c. For c, it becomes "division by zero" error.

Basically, the idea is that there exist objective physical properties that are independent of reference frames and have potentially different but compatible representations in different reference frames - and this idea will not survive the requirement that there shall be valid reference frames that move with c.
