I must be missing something because I don't see how this is an advance over anything. You have a FREE function, so use-after-free at runtime is still possible. Why not just have malloc and free together then, and program in C but witho

These articles keep showing up here. This debate has been rehashed over and over again. These articles are never particularly well-argued or interesting. I've flagged it.

Provide details. I don't know what "excessive" means here. They're going to be at least a bit conservative because they apply to more situations, but that's obvious.

I don't know how serious these things are, but if the San Andreas fault can tens of thousands of people (I doubt it, but I haven't looked into it), then indeed this becomes the priority. Economic policy should indeed focus on tryi

The point is that the magnitude of the outcome needs to be considered. Forecasting is about finding high probability outcomes, while not considering high-magnitude but unlikely outcomes. This makes forecasting sometimes a questionable activ

Can you really forecast inflation? They failed to do so before the whole Russia shit-storm, and they're trying to yet again. It seems to make more sense to base economic policy on finding choke points and vulnerabilities, and addressin
