Also don't confuse the law of diminishing returns with "therefore the remainder is fine," either. There's room for regulation of many of the ills of our society, but you will always reach a point where trying to stamp out that last bit you can't get ends up taking away things that make life worth living.
I can't imagine more of a hell than being forced to live a life wrapped up in bubble wrap so someone else is convinced I'm "safe."
Yeah, so you misrepresented what I said to call me an alcoholic and thus denigrate my point via an ad hominem. Instead of actually engaging with my argument on the merits, you misrepresent it and act like a troll.
Yes, but you are talking about data and logic, while I was making a point about humanity (humanitarianism? need to check which is appropriate).
If you are from the US, and feeling defensive about my comment, and/or if you want to treat your people's deaths and crippling as just statistics, it's your call, shrug, and maybe also your death or crippling by gun violence some day, again, statistically, you know.
The statistical probability of gun violence affecting me is much lower than it has been historically. That is worth celebrating. And I have seen exactly no one in this thread dismiss the ongoing pain caused by the remainder as negligible. But--and this is the entire point--that amount of ongoing pain is less than it has been in the past. Definitely still real, but less of it than before.
Yes, we absolutely mourn those who are still affected by it, and we do what we can to prevent additional deaths.
But the idea that we should not be happy about our progress is absurd.
Freechess shipped a binary called “timeseal” that did the calculations for you and encrypted the communications. It was not foolproof—-not by a long shot, but it also didn’t completely suck.
Possibly a typo or false address given by someone else, and the. It’s in their system forever. I get things for some person who apparently fat fingers our somewhat close email addresses all the time.
Somewhat unintuitively, cooking with cast iron does in fact contribute significant amounts of iron to the diet, depending on exactly what is cooked.
I suppose the study doesn't say just how well seasoned the skillets were. But pretty much every study dealing with cast iron agrees that it contributes some to the diet, in varying amounts.
There is some debate on whether or not the additional iron is helpful, and in what ways, but that it does add iron to the diet is reasonably well documented.
Somehow the compiler needs to either have the whole program in one single go--every last source file at the same time, all with exactly the same build options--or there needs to be a way to combine the results of multiple compilation steps.
Even with modern LTO, the compiler doesn't typically see _all_ files in the program at the source code level. Just many. Usually the C-library and C++ library are different.
So as long as various languages don't build the entire program in a single compilation and assembly step, we will need something that combines the results.
That's the linker.
Even building everything statically doesn't eliminate the need for the runtime linker, unless one hard-codes the exact address where a program can run.
That runs counter to security measures like ASLR.

You could have the program be position independent (use only relative adressing) and do without a linker for that limited use case.
the argument isn't that all googlers should have to dogfood all google products. But people in charge of a product line should have to dogfood it.
If you aren't willing to dogfood the the product line you have ownership of and prefer to use other products, you shouldn't have ownership in it as you have no vested interest in really making it better.
