This is what I have been doing for years. Works well for me.

Sometimes it is annoying but realistically it is a good strategy.

This paper is a core part and fundamental research evolving into how C++ could eliminate UB from the language in the future via a hybrid approach: subsetting, runtime checks, annotations, new features.

I think it is worth a look.

Could anyone knowledgeable about waves and physics related to it shed some light into possible practical implications?

This just provides the means for accurately measuring frequencies in the THz range.

This is important because previously it was possible to measure accurately either lower frequencies, until a few hundred GHz, or higher frequencies, from infrared to ultraviolet, i.e. from tens of THz to hundreds of THz.

Measuring accurately frequencies allows accurate spectroscopy in this frequency range, which can provide information about the chemical composition of materials.

'Frequency combs" are devices that can do at much higher frequencies what digital frequency dividers can do at low frequencies, and this frequency division function is what allows frequency measurement, by converting the high-frequency signals into low-frequency signals, whose frequency can be measured with the classic methods.

The method described in the article has the additional advantage of high sensitivity, i.e. it can measure very weak signals, which could not be distinguished from noise by less sensitive methods.

There are natural astronomical sources, from blackbody radiation. It doesn't penetrate the atomosphere so space based observations only.

TFA mentions spectroscopy and non-destructive scanning instead of X-rays.

I am quite possed with the implementation of social control and restrictions that increasingly look like the only purpose is to keep power tight and half-slaving people.

I think we should all massively move to crypto, gold and such things, avoid KYC when possible and show these people that we will not go through their wishes no matter the oppressive laws they try to come up with.

They can put a few in jail. But when we are millions, what are they going to do?

Being hostile to these agendas is becoming a necessity.

I am self host8ng forgejo. What can other CIs do that I could potentially need that is absent?

If you're using the built-in Actions/CI/whatever it's called, and it works for you, then that's great, don't try to change :)

I guess I'm mostly still with Woodpecker because of having used it for years already, don't think there is anything major missing with either approaches, but was a while ago I looked deeper into it, maybe someone else here knows more (recent) details.

Some of the advice is applicable tp C++ as well. Enums and such things with non-exhaustive checks all have warnings and setting warnings as errors helps.

What you just said is the reason why I use Ubuntu for my company and not something else. It is about risk of lack of support obviously.

The funny thing about SuSE, and admittedly I haven't touched it for over a decade now: Everyone I knew who used it touted that it had great enterprise support as a reason for using it, but everybody I knew that used SuSE used OpenSuSE. This was over ~20 years of providing Linux support, RHEL-based and Ubuntu were by far the distros we dealt with the most.

One issue I had with OpenSuSE was that once a new release drops you have around 6mo to migrate all your machines over to it. Which, for most businesses, is a pretty short timeline, in my experience.

I've always preferred authoring RPMs over debs, but Caninical having basically one distro without the forks, I think is a huge benefit for a business using them.

These days, since it's all about containers, I'd recommend openSUSE microOS, which is a minimal immutable rolling OS that's suitable as a container host. https://microos.opensuse.org/

When it’s all about containers, you run rancher.

I am not sure how dangerous it is. Not saying it is not but maybe hyperbole.

I have been hearing this and the climate change stuff since I was young as a threat to humans and I think there must be a lot more than science in here, at least, in my humble opinion.

Flu has a long track record in causing pandemics with new variants, e.g., the Spanish flu in 1918–1920. Outbreaks spread much faster now thanks to air travel. We do have the advantages of P2 masks and mRNA vaccines.

Which was not spanish, by the way.

Better language? Well, now mix those with C libraries thst you need and make them generate code as efficient as C++ (I would assume people use C++ for a performance advantage of some kind in many scenarios).
