> It's true that despite the fact exceptions are the one true C++ error handling mechanism in fact lots of C++ programmers religiously never use them. That ought, one would think, to set alarm bells ringing. And it does for the C++ Committee. Language schism is bad news.

You're still trying to force C++ to be dogmatic. It never has been. It's always tried to be accommodating to all types of usages. It's always been multiparadigm. 'new' wasn't even defined to throw std::bad_alloc until C++98, which also introduced 'std::nothrow_t' to have it return null instead.

> you can't do the same for implicit allocation

Just like with exceptions this really isn't true, either. There's no implicit allocations in the core language, only in the STL. Saying that the "new" operator does implicit allocation is like saying "malloc" does implicit allocation. Regardless, placement new has always existed, and the non-placement 'new' operator has always been overridable. And all of the STL is optional & replaceable.
If people are curious about the pornstar who headed institutional lending at Celsius, her name is Jessica Khater.
Crypto is a mix, though. Yes, there's lots of feedback-growth/tulip-bubble nonsense. There's also a very large amount of very real money flight being enabled. The PRC clampdown was fundamentally aimed at that trick: wealthy folks in China with a ton of RMB don't trust the government not to steal their fortune (c.f. Jack Ma). But you can't turn those yuan into anything liquid outside the country without tipping them off that you're running, then you'll end up just like Jack anyway.

But... if you can build a datacenter in China with RMB, and pay chinese workers with RMB, and buy equipment and electricity with RMB, and get *bitcoin* out, then you've evaded the trap and liquified[1] your Chinese holdings.

It's not at all clear to me how much this hole has been closed, honestly. But it's possible this is still going on at a level high enough to explain crypto's continued expansion.

That said: duh, it's a bubble and it's coming down at some point. But there's real economics happening too.

For my CS degree, the two classes that were most useful foundations-wise were:

1. Learning how to prove things with math

2. "Baby compilers" machine code, building an assembler, building a simple MIPS compiler, regular expressions, parsing, etc

There's a lot of other topics but those two really set the foundation. All algorithms class and data structures are best understood with a mathematical intuition. Not to mention you want to go into VR, lin alg might help you.

YMMV. Lots of great programmers don't have a math background, but for me that helped.

The CLRS book is pretty standard (but mathy).

You'll learn things as you work too so don't discount patience.

You’re right of course, my point was not that cynicism is always false, but that people are cynically dismissive about everything so it holds zero signal.

Well Wikipedia and the NYT are hardly unbiassed sources, but for an independent left wing view I suggest you read what Glen Greenwald wrote:

"This not-a-real-journalist tactic was and remains the primary theory used by those who justify the ongoing attempt to imprison Julian Assange. In demanding Assange's prosecution under the Espionage Act, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) wrote in The Wall Street Journal that “Mr. Assange claims to be a journalist and would no doubt rely on the First Amendment to defend his actions.” Yet the five-term Senator insisted: "but he is no journalist: He is an agitator intent on damaging our government, whose policies he happens to disagree with, regardless of who gets hurt.”

This not-a-real-journalist slogan was also the one used by both the CIA and the corporate media against myself and my colleagues in both the Snowden reporting we did in 2013, as well as the failed attempt to criminally prosecute me in 2020 for the year-long Brazil exposés we did: punishing them is not an attack on press freedom because they are not journalists and what they did is not journalism."

You may have missed the part where they talked about Moodys (or was it S&P) rating the garbage MBSs higher than they should have, which led to institutional investors and many others buying garbage.

There should be a multi-million dollar fine for even a single failure. This is atrocious.
If they are actually lending the money out to people who aren't investors, earning interest on it and returning that to investors, then Celcius is not a Ponzi scheme, it's probably speculating on weird, opaque and shitty assets, but it's not a Ponzi.

Like, if I set up a business "investing" in worthless penny stocks and somehow manage to generate returns, I'm not running a Ponzi. Maybe I'm pumping and dumping those penny stocks. It's still a scheme, it's just not a Ponzi- I am actually earning money for my investors! I'm defrauding other people, but I'm not defrauding my investors.

> Even with its downsides, crypto serves as a useful medium of exchange for fringe goods.

Yep, I agree.

> CBDC's _might_ fill that void, but governments would need to treat it as infrastructure and not exercise some of the power that companies like Visa enjoy (blocking otherwise legal transactions).

I'll be the first to say that the current legacy financial system is no panacea. Visa and Mastercard should be infrastructure just as you say. In my opinion, they should be required by law not to discriminate against any legal transactions and have safe harbor.

That said ACH carries all legal transactions without discrimination. I don't know why CBDCs wouldn't do the same.

What we need isn't crypto, it's payment network neutrality. The legacy financial system needs a refactor, but crypto ain't it. It's strictly worse in every way.
The NFT is the token, not the metadata. Of course there are projects with on chain metadata, and projects with on chain art as well. Also, many folks use IPFS pinning, so that does add some level of resilience as well, but yes not all NFTs are created equal.

It's gotten worse and worse. There was just an article published in NPR at how schools are closing again on really short notice due to staff shortages. That said, when I was a sub in NYC, it was incredibly hard to get certified (really long training process and quite challenging test), and then when we did start working, we only got paid $150/day. The only reason I could even apply to sub was because I was a bilingual educator. Otherwise, they weren't taking new applications. So finding qualified people through a rigorous vetting process and then only paying them $150 is not a great recipe for having a plethora of substitute teachers around. https://www.npr.org/2021/11/23/1057979170/school-closures-me...

I have heard Metcalfe's Law applied to crypto networks, and I think it actually does make sense. I.e. as the number of participants goes up, the value increases, similar to how as the number of users goes up on a social media or other technology platform, those networks are considered more valuable. Crypto is a technology so I think it makes some sense to apply the same framework.

Sure, but we were talking about spending money on NFTs versus spend it on (original) Picassos. Now you're talking about spending money copying a Picasso versus (not) spending money copying the digital artwork that an NFT was minted for, which is distinct from the NFT itself and worth approximately zero, as you say.
> Bankruptcy is an option.

Yeah, I thought the same thing in 2008, then the haunting words "too big to fail" were used by both Obama and McCain, so it didn't care who won the presidential election, the banksters would still get a bail out. Fast forward to today, and it still doesn't matter whether a Dem or Rep sits in the oval office, the banksters will always have safety net.
It seems that quite a lot of tree-to-tree networking is done via mycorrhizal networks. Without doubt there are mutually beneficial interactions between plant roots and fungi for extracting nutrients, and quite a lot of good evidence that those networks are informational in nature, too. Whether that's related to seed-dispersal patterns... I have no idea.

Alternately, I have also read of trees exuding pheremones via their leaves as a warning to other trees in the vicinity when predators (antelope) come around to munch on the leaves, resulting in surrounding trees rapidly increasing tannin content in their own leaves to make them unpalatable to the browsers.

There's a whole lot of shit going on out there that we're scarcely aware of...

No… the statements 'the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent' is not at all the same as 'the market can stay irrational longer than IT can stay solvent'.

There are structural problems at play. It's completely impossible for there to be an escape velocity of irrationality where Ponzi schemes can become legitimate. All you're able to observe is that people with more money than YOU are still playing. That's not the same as escape velocity: the real money is still waiting for its cue to throw the Ponzi scheme under the buss, and you will not get warning of this.

You're right that PPP took advantage of capabilities the banks already had and also, in terms of tail risk, the capability the government has for managing bank failures.

Even if it is good policy, it erodes legitimacy because people see public ends leading to private profits. If you watch TV while working out at the gym, for instance, you see that 90%+ of the ads in certain dayparts are not for things you can buy with your own money but things you can buy with government benefits, a windfall you can get if you are hit by a car, etc. I'm certain that even people who qualify for those government benefits have their fantasies fed that other people (e.g. blacks) spend their lives just chiseling from the government and it drives them to vote Republican and ultimately be susceptible to crap like QAnon.

I know a lot of people who are involved in road construction in Upstate NY and all of them are deeply cynical about the way the work is funded. People see the boondoggles in infrastructure construction and they think "I just want to protect my checkbook."

European here (from Spain). I wouldn't worry about searching actively a new job. Last time I was looking for a job, I did like 20 interviews. No sigle offer. Am I a bad software engineer? I'm not the best for sure, but the worst? Don't think so. After getting the 20th rejection, a big company that I had submitted my CV years ago offerend me a position.

What I'm trying to say is that many times we don't want to see the "luck factor".

Assume in a job interview there is a 90% of probabilities to be rejected. Maybe because of your background, maybe they closed the process, maybe there is somebody that is not as good as you but earns waaaay less, etc. That's life, and that's hard.

My advice: accept it. It's happened to me and it's hard. But life goes on and we shouldn't worry about things out of our control.

However, IMHO, if you don't care for work-life balance, look for positions in startups. You'll learn many new skills and also you'll somewhat "restart/refresh" your career.

If you don't want to work in a startup (job insecurity, no work-life balance, etc) my advice for you would be start looking job at a medium-size company, and change jobs each 1.5-2 years. After several changes, your network would have increase and hence, the probability of having delivered some opportunities.
Honestly, this point was just dumb. Even skipping the whole "pornstar!" angle, the core point was that the CEO put some rando acquaintance in a position of power who has no relevant experience.
