Its a giant peeve of mine that automatic memory management, in the C language sense of the resource being freed at the end of its lexical scope, is tied to the allocation being on the machine stack which in practice may have incredibly limi

If it is too early for them to have uncovered a meaningful understanding about what the contracts/programs/employees are doing, why is it also not too early for the contracts to be cancelled/programs ended/employees fire

Related to a comment on a now-flagged subthread: can anyone who believes that DOGE is uncovering fraud please post a reliable reference that gives a specific example of fraud uncovered by DOGE? To be clear, this should be a third-party anal

Reference please! To my knowledge DOGE has not uncovered any obvious cases of financial fraud. Every example of their cost-cutting that I've looked at (and I've dug!) has been lawfully congressionally appropriated funds being spen

I will reply here because I think this is a good question, even if it may have been intended as merely rhetorical. (1) The process was distasteful. I want there to be broader knowledge of the disfunctional way this system works in practice.
