> I don't know how or why, but the computers had a shared namespace for these macros.

They were saved in the "normal" document template, probably, I guess shared to the network drive. My first tech job was interning with an insurance company which had some important VBA script saved in the template. I want to be charitable, but it was almost certainly out of cluelessness... the macro even included a check to only do anything when run from a specific document, so it's not like it was meant to run from every document.

Of course I didn't realize this and it bit me when I dutifully made a copy of the document before editing the macro... only to break something in "production" (or what passed for it...) and get yelled at for it.

Tangentially, not too long thereafter I replaced most of my job (and that of half my six-person team) with a short M4 macro (secretly, of course). Freed up many hours during the workday to work on my Perl chops and figure out how to get one of those sweet "GMail" invitations.
I once heard something about listening to an orchestra with earplugs on.
If you shove a few extra bits into a pointer, then it can't directly be used to dereference something.
In practice it would be what I call an immediate handle (a handle that can be resolved to a pointer with a test and simple bitmask)

void* ResolveHandle(handle h); this is the basic API, and it will return nullptr if this handle is not allocated or has been freed. Or it will block if this handle is a promise. The handle itself can be an index, but also the hash of a string, the string being a path to a ressource that is not even loaded yet.
That sounds fun! Even if just a thought experiment.
Well written. Thank you.

It is the other way around, healthy men with increased life span are more likely to have a children.

She never called her a hooker though.

Nothing - unless you also take a function that allows you to transform from one type to another. For example, you can write a function like:

S<U> map(S<B> b, (B -> U) func) { //stuff}

Which allows you to do things like:

Optional<Integer> i = 4;
(Integer -> Float) func = (i \* 2.5);
Optional<Float> f = map(i, func);

This ability becomes much more powerful when you're parsing some file. Imagine you're parsing some JSON of people, and you're using https://schema.org/Person as the type. So the JSON contains things like additionalName, affiliation, birthPlace, email, gender, image, etc. and each of those are typed respectively - a Name class, Affiliation Class, Location class, Email class, Gender class, Image class, etc. Now imagine that the service you're calling may fail to return certain values.

In java, it's idiomatic for libraries like Gson to return null on the fields that aren't returned - so if you try to get a person who doesn't have an additionalName, the additionalName field in the Person object will be null. It would be nice if it could be an Optional<AdditionalName> instead of just an AdditionalName to force the null check, but then the library becomes extremely painful to use. You would end up having to call additionalName.get() whenever you just want the name. If you have HKTs, then you can operate on the fields and ignore the fact that they're technically Optionals.

It's also generally recommended in Java to not use Optionals in fields in classes, or to express the optionality of a value in a constructor. If you do, you have to wrap values in Optionals to make the object, which harms readability.

HKTs can become even more powerful with types other than Optional/Maybe. Either, Monad, Future, Comonad, IO, Functor, Applicative, Task, etc. You would be surprised how many design patterns in Java end up being just a simple combination of these types that are much more ergonomic with HKTs.
This is a frustrating behavior on Windows, not because it's possible, but because it's default. I vastly prefer the way KDE performs. Whatever the default program to open that file type is attempts to open it. You can easily change what the default is.

It's frustrating when I instinctively change a file extension on Windows so I can do some other operation with it (say changing a configuration file to .txt to edit it) and Windows still doesn't know what to do with it.

I'm not averse to the behavior, I just wish I could control when it happens.

My 2nd grade teacher accused me of "hacking" the Commodore 64 when she caught me showing another kid how to write a "what is your name" program. (Of course this same school unplugged all their C64s on Michelangelo Day so you can guess their level of tech training.)

I never did it at school but there was always the "fake prompt" trick. Do a few fun things -- throw up fake syntax errors (including transposing characters the user typed correctly) -- print out some rude error message or "formatting drive..." -- and then silently hand control back to the real shell.
I was blown away to discover venmo was public by default. I still can't really believe it works like that. Crazy.
I have the same issue with Microsoft Teams. Someone once invited me to join a group on Teams, and now (years later) I get occasional but persistent emails from Teams. I can't stop them, because the setting apparently needs me to be signed in, but I don't have an account. I mark them as spam, because it's all I can do.
The reason why I want to have 10 GE is that I made sure that the cables in my house could support these speeds. I expect more and more devices to support 10 GE as I will install them in the future (new TV, new workstation). This is just future proofing of my network installation.
It used to be you could hit ctrl-c to stop waiting for dhcp. But last time I ran into that on Debian, you just had to wait for it to give up; of course that was also waiting for dhcp on a wired NIC that wasn't even plugged in.

> If you shove a few extra bits into a pointer, then it can't directly be used to dereference something. In practice it would be what I call an immediate handle (a handle that can be resolved to a pointer with a test and simple bitmask)

That's just a smart pointer. Unlike a handle, it's anything but opaque. (And in your comment you specifically lumped smart pointers under "pointers" too, so we should be in agreement.)

> void* ResolveHandle(handle h); this is the basic API, and it will return nullptr if this handle is not allocated or has been freed. Or it will block if this handle is a promise.

Again, there's nothing preventing you from making a smart pointer that does exactly what you're talking about here, which (again) both of us would lump under "pointer".

Perhaps worth elaborating on: The concepts of handles and pointers, as I'm talking about them at least, are fairly language-agnostic. What makes a handle a "handle" to me (and I would've thought to you too) isn't the wrapper around it; it's the opaqueness. Not from a mechanical sense (i.e. not the public vs. private or the language syntax, which aren't even relevant in every language) but from an informational sense: whether it can be "dereferenced" without additional information.

Your numbers are technically correct since you only gave one significant figure, but you're still rounding off more than $300 billion and also forgetting to count almost $400 billion in smaller programs.

Out of $4.4 trillion:

Social security - $1 trillion - 23%

Medicare - $644 billion - 15%

Medicaid - $409 billion - 9%

SNAP, EITC, Unemployment, SSI and other Income Security Programs - $303 billion mandatory spending + $73 billion - 8%

That's about 55% of the total on various parts of the safety net.

This argument makes no sense. A 15 minute bathroom break doesn't change anything. You'll still make the delivery on time. If 15 minutes is so important, you could just add 15 minutes to the working day and still make that delivery.

There are a million ways to solve this without treating employees poorly or lowering the quality of the service. In the same system they use to calculate the optimum route and delivery times, you can plan and factor in bathroom brakes.

The company just chose not to deal with the problem, that's all.
As a layperson interested in effects of compounds on the human body, this is not super surprising.

I have to concur with the other commenters, it sounds like your system might have some kind of strange configuration. I haven't had a computer that took longer than around 10 seconds to boot since Windows 7. SSDs made a massive difference. Then Windows 8 introduced hybrid boot for certain configurations, and Windows 10 made it pretty much standard. My Android phone (Pixel) takes longer to boot than my Windows computer (Surface).
The problem with nuclear isn’t that it in theory can’t be made safe. The problem is that is is run by humans, in combination with the failure modes being so sudden and large scale.

There's no such thing as digital scarcity. It's only artificial scarcity, and for that you need something to control the supply.

Anyone can copy the asset. Anyone can also create another NFT to the same asset. So which token is the "real" one? That's the centralized scarcity that's required, which really just added a layer of indirection without solving for anything.

Again, this isn't about utility. It's about intrinsic value. Physical goods have a single original object which gives them value that digital items don't.

I'm not a skeptic of this but I'm open to alternate theories.

what if there's some hitherto unknown mechanism by which memories even private conscious memories of internal emotional events are encoded into, not only the brain, but somehow the space or objects or "spacetime medium" (or some other field) perhaps local to the area where the person who had those memories lived.

And what if that sometimes a brain particularly a brain that's in a very open and unfixed state such as the brain of a small child or infant is able to somehow access and, perhaps confusedly, read from this external data store of information and memory and perhaps that child confuses it as its own experience and perhaps the only language and way that we can culturally relate to those experiences is the language of reincarnation so people need to express this perhaps rarely occurring phenomena through that language.

And what if this informational field is the same type that's also accessible by any mind if you're able to tune into that informational field.

It's just that perhaps the number of accessible microstates of the infant's mind crosses a more diverse set of channels so that it's more likely to spontaneously access that without a deliberate intention. perhaps such information-seeking or structure-seeking behavior is also a natural consequence of a child's minds aggressive need to structure the world and form its own burgeoning sense of identity so perhaps it will eagerly latch onto and attempt to incorporate any information, however it's able to access that, into its own understanding of itself in the world. and maybe the minds of some children are able to, somehow, more likely access such an informational field. But nevertheless can probably be accessed by anyone with the correct tuning.

I'm not a skeptic of the original claim but I think this and other theories could provide interesting alternate explanations for the phenomena that we currently commonly culturally label as reincarnation phenomena. and that these alternate theories could be useful in forming a larger picture of what's actually going on. I'm not biased against any cultural or religious belief in reincarnation and I'm not a skeptical of that myself... I just think it's useful to consider what alternate possible theories could give rise to this and might also be kind of more testable than sort of waiting for someone's soul to come back. Perhaps, without claiming to have any understanding of the relevant mechanisms on a level much deeper than what I've described here, one test of all this could be if two or more children somehow acquire the same memories of the same people giving rise to the idea that it's not a soul that's come back as them it's simply that the children have somehow managed to access the same data in the informational field somehow.
I once bought stock in EBIX. Not too long after I purchased I woke up one day to find the stock down 50%. An anonymous poster on Seeking Alpha had written an article claiming massive accounting fraud at EBIX. There was massive short selling that morning. After following forums and news on EBIX it appeared that there likely was not fraud. The stock would slowly recover, and then another hit piece followed by short selling would massively drop the stock again. This went on for a couple years. There never was any fraud. I sold the stock and swore off buying individual stocks. I’m 100% convinced there was illegal trading activity. Many people in the forums wrote to the SEC about it. The SEC never did anything. It also seemed like this goes on all the time.

A key part there is agentive intent. Pure passive observation lacks the information about which parts of the observed result were intended and expected (by the actor) and which are irrelevant noise or side-effects. In some sense the equivalent of looking at the data of a study and knowing which column represents the "intervention" and which column represents the outcome of intervention - as opposed to pure observation of those data points without knowing which is which.

We can learn well from a demonstration, where someone else is acting and we correctly understand the intent and expected results (perhaps they've explicitly communicated that, perhaps we just know implicitly through our previous shared experience) and observe what happens.

However, if we observe someone else - at an entirely different skill level - who is essentially testing a hypothesis (and we don't know that, we have no observation of the agent's internal) and getting useful data about where their world model diverges from reality, then it's not nearly as helpful for us to determine where our world model diverges from reality, that would require different actions and different data.
