New evidence in favor of a discrete form of data storage could change the way we understand the brain and the devices we build to interface with it. Mine's formatted using FAT
As many of you have suspected.

The brain stores information?

The problem with std::optional is that we lose information about errors. The function returns a value or something empty, so you cannot tell what went wrong. Only one is optional

That's fine - it should be used in limited circumstances where the error is obvious. For example, parsing an integer from a string will either recognise an integer or not - there really is not much more useful to say.

[^]Quote: An “infrasound haptic” flooring system will carry bass sounds through the floor, allowing guests to experience the music under their feet.
A “beamformed” sound system will deliver remarkably clear acoustics, thanks to thousands of tiny speakers embedded in the building’s walls.
Technicians will be able to capture and present super-resolution video with a specially designed camera system that captures and stitches together 360-degree-by-360-degree footage at 2 gigabytes per second.
More than 200 resort executives and entertainment specialists got their first immersion into the audio and visual world of MSG Sphere at an invitation-only demonstration Friday at the Las Vegas Sands Corp. hangar at McCarran International Airport.
Madison Square Garden’s planned MSG Sphere will be a 360-feet-tall and 500-feet-wide concert venue

I could say something about how this will enhance Las Vegas' other revenue stream (not gambling, not drive through marriage chapels.)

You mean the swarms of tourists who come to make selfies against a barren desert backdrop ?

BillWoodruff quoted: MSG Sphere will be a 360-feet-tall and 500-feet-wide concert venue
When I went o school, a sphere had to be the same height as its width. But I suppose 'The MSG Ovoid' would not sound as good as you might think it is an egg enhanced by monosodium glutamate.

My guess is that "MSG Spherical Cap" just doesn't sound as catchy.

Paleotronic was lucky enough to be given the chance to have a chat with Apple co-founder and engineer-extraordinare Steve Wozniak, who gave us a personal look into the development of the Disk II. Popping around to the shop for a thumb drive too easy?
My eyes hurt after reading that page.

There's no doubt that Woz is a brilliant engineer, but the interview was unreadable. Haven't the publishers of Paleotronic heard of editors? Or have English skills in America deteriorated to such a level that they can't recognize that the interview needs editing for clarity?

Google’s unofficial motto has long been the simple phrase “don’t be evil.” But that’s over, according to the code of conduct that Google distributes to its employees. "You're semi-evil. You're quasi-evil."

OMG! They've replaced a waffly middle paragraph with a more readable summary of it at the end of the document!
In the post-truth world, I guess this passes for hot news.

I assumed that had gone a long time ago. But with undertaking work with military applications, they've seem to have removed the word "don't".
