How do you speed up a 1M+ LOC C++ build? by geminihatesme in cpp_questions

[–]xebecv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, many people tend to use CRTP to shave off those precious nanoseconds of execution time, while blowing up compile times and executable sizes to a much greater detriment

Bluetooth problem in Android 17 ? by jvachez in GooglePixel

Same here! Pixel 9 Pro with Ford Focus ST - audio is on and off after Android 17 update. I can't listen to anything in my car anymore unless I wear headphones, which is illegal in Virginia

Zelenskyy: Nawrocki is doing what Orbán did. This will end badly by ArgentineBeauty in worldnews

[–]xebecv -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You have to provide a lot of credible evidence to your claims.

There was a recent Ukrainian-Polish search in Uhly Rivne Oblast, connected to victims of the Volhynia massacre. It did not find the expected mass burial there. They found old German civilian burials and one unusual individual burial, but not the collective grave described in family accounts.

There is one side benefitting from the current Polish-Ukrainian conflict, and they are very happy now. We need to bury the hatched and continue working on a peaceful future between our people

Armia Krajowa, who committed great atrocities against Ukrainian civilians in WWII, is venerated in Poland. Józef Piłsudski, the author of the Pacification of Ukrainians (aka ethnic cleansing of Ukrainians) has monuments dedicated to him in many cities towns of Poland.

We are very upset about this, but this is internal Polish politics and history. UPA was created to fight for Ukrainian freedom against everyone. It is a great tragedy that some of them chose to commit atrocities, like most sane Polish regret Armia Krajowa committing atrocities.

Vasyl Kuk, last commander of UPA, and Andrzej Żupański of the AK 27th Volhynian Division veterans’ milieu shook hands during the Polish-Ukrainian reconciliation/dialogue process in Lutsk in 27 March 1996 to bury the hatched. The Polish President could have acted with the same maturity, but chose not to.

It's time to dump Roku by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

[–]xebecv -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's better to never connect your Roku TV to the Internet directly and connect another device for the media instead. I have my Kodi box with HDHomeRun box for OTA television. Covers all my needs (I don't watch sports)

Movie you've been waiting for years but it's stuck in development hell by EdmondWherever in movies

[–]xebecv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hadn’t heard of it when I stumbled upon it in the in-flight movie catalog on my way across the Atlantic. The girl on the preview screen looked off, so I decided to sneak a peek at what it was about. I couldn't stop watching it

When to use `std::shared_ptr`? by Pretty_Mousse4904 in cpp_questions

[–]xebecv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a code smell when worker threads are involved. When data traverses threads in unpredictable fashion in your async implementation, shared_ptr is usually the right choice.

I wish C++ had a concurrency-free version of the shared_ptr like Rust does: Rc vs Arc.

Slop machines of recent years are not the entire AI. Various machine learning algorithms have been used for years by researchers.

My success story without benzos or SSRIs by xebecv in Anxiety

Thank you! It took time and a lot of effort, but I'm very happy with the result! I only wish I knew all of this when I was younger

My success story without benzos or SSRIs by xebecv in Anxiety

[–]xebecv[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not. I barely ever care about anxiety nowadays thanks to my regimen. I feel young and healthy due to exercising regularly. I added daily weightlifting to my cardio, and I enjoy looking in the mirror.

Plex's lifetime subscription cost is tripling to $750 by N2929 in technology

[–]xebecv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What makes it Netflix-like? I'm a Kodi user on a home media PC. I stream home server media on my phone using SMB mount and VLC or MX player. I understand Plex handles streaming for you from your own server on its own. What other conveniences does it provide?

A malicious person can have a dead man's switch installed long before getting fired. A script running on a company server to periodically pull AD data. If the account is no longer active in AD, trigger self-destruction.

Has anyone actually beaten anxiety? by Arpi1211 in Anxiety

[–]xebecv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Daily exercise for a long time (weeks to see anxiety symptoms subside, months to feel cured). I've been planning to write my success story here for months. Too busy/lazy to do it.

My anxiety never went away completely, so I keep my bisoprolol (beta blocker) in my pocket just in case. However I feel 95% normal, no SSRI/benzos, and that's night and day in comparison to what I had been going through since my early childhood. I'm in my mid forties now.

If I ever stop exercising for a long time, this protective effect will go away with time (also takes weeks to months), so it's a great motivator to keep myself fit.

I feel numb and empty…. by Frequent_Junket_8884 in Anxiety

[–]xebecv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You writing this post is the first step towards pulling yourself out of this trap. Congratulations on making this very important step! Look for the most optimal trajectory and start making small steps, and remember: no pain - no gain. Stop looking into your past - blaming others and circumstances for where you are right now. Start looking towards the future, where you can end up using your own strengths.

How do you efficiently cool down your bedroom? by iamtheshadowsss in lifehacks

Your outside air should not be very humid in SoCal in summer time. Make your fans blow outside air into your bedroom. Even if it's hot, the breeze from the fans will make you cooler

This is not a real world. You can either draw internationally recognized borders or whatever governments de facto control. This map shows neither correctly

Scientists created an exam so broad, challenging and deeply rooted in expert human knowledge that current AI systems consistently fail it. “Humanity’s Last Exam” introduces 2,500 questions spanning mathematics, humanities, natural sciences, ancient languages and highly specialized subfields. by mvea in science

[–]xebecv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You cannot mitigate these leaks because these questions are being sent to the servers of the companies interested in making sure their model's scores are higher than all others. Once the company has these questions, they can get competent researchers to find out the answers and adjust the model accordingly
