But C strings could at least be arbitrarily long, Pascal strings were extremely handicapped. It’s like they understood why length prefix is better, but then picked the worst possible implementation.

I disagree that it’s a human or subjective factor as others imply. Or at least to me it’s a secondary contributor. Back then, the hardware and peripherals were so much simpler. There was no graphical output for the original PDP where Unix w

If the variable is numeric, and const or constexpr, and you have -O1 or higher enabled, then the compiler will optimize it away. I don’t think static would add anything under these conditions.

> In real life, there’s basically no reason ever to use constexpr on a stack variable; you’ll use it only on globals or as part of the set phrase static constexpr. Hmm… this is just unnecessarily dogmatic. I use constexpr all the time, f

And mortality rates in children was even lower. I think that really helped cool things down. And even then, we all know how crazy things got.

Why do you keep doubling down on your father's personal experience? It's one data point from 30 years ago. It doesn't really matter.

Good point. Although if we do have a pandemic with 20% mortality rates I feel like we would experience societal collapse in a much larger scale than in the movie. Much larger as in: we can’t finish developing a vaccine because world order i

Contagion also compressed time quite a bit because it’s a movie meant to entertain. It couldn’t show the long months of research, development and testing that actual science requires. Still a great movie.

Even with all your misguided moral ambiguity, you can’t ignore that the Berlin wall was only built by one side. All governance systems are imperfect, but some are more imperfect than others.

I don’t think you are missing any nuance at this point. If the amount of uninsurable properties is (comparatively) small, it’s way easier to throw some money at them and keep everyone happy. I think that’s the basic premise of the program.

by elteto 3y ago
IIRC, it’s broke because only a small handful of properties account for a disproportionate amount of the claims.

There already is a federal program for uninsurable properties (for flooding only, I believe). They take whatever insurers reject. By my understanding, people just keep building on the same spot, even if it floods constantly, therefore they

I think everything is working as intended in this case: some states have decided on having very high taxation rates, and other states have decided they will shift that burden to alternative taxation schemes (sales/property taxes). And

The Martian was a fun, hard science fiction book, but I never really liked its characters. They were too silly and one-dimensional. But Project Hail Mary is a lovely story. And the twist half way through! Such a wonderful, happy reading.

I had the same exact thing happen to me and my wife. We’ve learned since then that this is a common scam by dental clinics. Did they try to sign you up for a “care” credit card too?

While I agree with you, people making $50k a year are not missing out on many deductions. Putting its parent company aside, Turbo Tax is not a bad product for simple taxes at that income level. What they are missing out is alternative inves

It took 80 years to go from a crude prototype at Bell Labs to Apple announcing the M1. We just need to know it’s possible. The rest will follow.
