And yet millennia of philosophy have also attempted to address it. Epicurus comes first to mind from the materialist camp. Religion is not the only source of solace for existential dread, there are more rationalist approaches that can be vi

I don’t think people have a right to a job. But I do think that we as a society have a responsibility for baseline care of everyone. When we can’t depend on the profits of individual’s labor to support them for life any more - which will in

People have this vision of a civil war, some all-out armed conflict with winner-take-all. Looking at any country with a history of armed rebels, you see a long-term political standoff that occasionally runs hot. Ruby Ridge and Waco are smal

As someone who used to get lighters as a teenager just to have one, without using it to smoke (though in my later teens I smoked), I find this fascinating. Are smaller matchbooks also prohibited? Like others have mentioned, I never had trou

If the lifetime of your objects are not bound to any scope, I’d say you’re well out of the realm of any real benefit that RAII would provide over GC. This is a continual problem that arises with a shared ownership model. The specific princi

I think it’s safe to say for the general case that if you have millions of widely-shared smart pointers you are not following RAII principles. At that point you are left with poorly-implemented reference counting, with a ton of synchronizat

I’m not a game programmer but with RAII for example (I realize this is not a C idiom), it really becomes a non-issue if you have things scoped properly. For everything that doesn’t fit into this box you probably wouldn’t be relying on a GC

I know people who made millions day trading commodities, for no one in that cohort to have made any real money over two years is surprising to the point of disbelief. This may be something particular to the Brazilian exchange.

Work gives our lives meaning. There may be other sources of meaning but work is a big one. It’s a service we do for others, even though we may have self-interest in financial, emotional, intellectual, or other forms of compensation.
