Unfortunately you are getting a little crossed from your perspective. You're asking a question that to experts is structured oddly because you can't disentangle things you're trying to separate.

I'll try to explain.

Again dark matter is an attempt to explain a collection of observations that don't match current accepted theoretical models.

There "classical dark matter hypothesises" is just that. That these observations can be explained by a quantizable matter candidate of some form with some yet to be determined properties.

The only non particle descriptions of "dark matter phenomena" is a modified gravity framework. These attempt to address the "classical dark matter phenomena" whilst disentangling it from the "CPV phenomena". This is fine but breaks the big bang model at the stage of baryogenesis (matter formation from pure energy).

There is the possibility that you can explain "classical dark matter phenomena" without demanding it also be responsible for CPV. However, if you do that the CPV step of the big bang model demands additional particle candidates which then raises the problem of what do they look like and where are they and do they interact with the Higgs field and therefore have mass.

There are no counter arguments to "classical dark matter phenomena" because they are just that. Observed natural phenomena which do not fit into our current understanding of the universe.

A "complete dark matter theory" tends to explain CPV+DM. These again don't make many testable predictions other than a (potentially TeV scale) weekly interacting particle candidate. So the testable prediction is that a dark matter candidate exists and we can observe it.

> I've already explained what a counter argument to that would look like. Do you have one?

I'll choose to read that in a relaxed manner, albeit it's a bit direct.
There is no counter argument to natural phenomena. The main 2 theories are that dark matter particles exist and we can find them or we can't.
MOND et al make few predictions and struggle to observe defined "gravitational phenomena", hence why there is little interest in them.
There are differences between DM particle models but almost all agree that the major premise is that we might/should be able to see certain particle types given how they interact.

Not just the services provided by the state. The unimproved value of your land also depends on the value of the properties / land around your land. Which is even more of a reason to implement a land-value tax.

I think they're alt-right crypto-fascists.
Do you really envision a world where every person who now rents is homeless, and every rental unit is sitting empty? Is that realistic in any way? The answer is that the market would adjust, prices would come down, different types of mortgages may be created to serve different markets, etc. It seems untenable that a huge percentage of people would be homeless while also having a similarly huge percentage of housing sitting empty and idle. Both things happen now, but if you're talking all renters, that's an order of magnitude more.
What valuable service do landlords provide, exactly?

It's my understanding that barring regulatory requirements for standards of living, at their core a landlord is providing access to previously un-utilized monopolized space. That's not really a valuable service, in my mind; maybe it is in the way that 'we'll give you protection from ourselves coming back and breaking your windows' is a valuable service.
How can renting from a middleman who owns it be possibly cheaper than owning it directly? Unless the middleman is a charity which rents at a loss.

> basic human right to have a roof over one's head

Is that a basic human right? If you build your roof, are you then required to share it with others? Why can't they build their own? Why should you build one if someone else already has?

Starting with that assumption severely limits the conclusions you can come to, doesn't it?
Doing a quick Google search, I see a paper by Stroustrup that looks to support your argument [0]. From the paper:

> One aspect of the exception handling scheme ... is that the default response to an error ... is to terminate the program.

While that may have been the intent, I'm arguing that how it's used is not that in modern C++.

For example, the constructor for `ifstream` throws an exception when encountering a problem trying to open a file [1]. There are many cases where this wouldn't fall under your definition of "exceptions should lead to termination". Whether this is "proper" C++ standard library ideology or not is beside the point. This is built into the language, used in a standard library and guiding programmers into an idiomatic way of using exceptions as error handling.

I imagine the C++ STL is rife with this type of idiom.

I'm really not a big fan of "you should read the article" type of arguments, especially when the article contradicts the point. From the Wikipedia article you link to, here some quotes that support my thesis:

> Kiniry writes that "As any Java programmer knows, the volume of try catch code in a typical Java application is sometimes larger than the comparable code necessary for explicit formal parameter and return value checking in other languages that do not have checked exceptions. ..."

> Exception handling is often not handled correctly in software, especially when there are multiple sources of exceptions; data flow analysis of 5 million lines of Java code found over 1300 exception handling defects.

> ... Weimer and Necula wrote ... that they "create hidden control-flow paths that are difficult for programmers to reason about".

These mostly relate to Java-style try/catch issues but I suspect they're at least somewhat valid for C++.

Again, I'm trying to make a good-faith argument. I see many situations where exceptions as understood by yourself and Stroustrup can lead to better quality code but I'm trying to highlight what the original article was talking about and try to see it from their point of view.

As with almost all of these arguments, there's an "it depends" clause. The arguments against exceptions in the article has an implicit "it depends on the context of creating my MQ library". The arguments in the comments are arguing against it without providing the necessary context.

That's not how I read the paragraph you quoted.

I think the point is that you're basically working for yourself when you do a PhD, not for your boss. You're given carte blanche for a few years, and it's your responsibility to produce value out of this time. The value here isn't measured in money but in publications.
Yeah I wouldn’t trust that site. Rather, use UUPDump. It is open source, and uses the Windows update process where you can generate the ISOs yourself on your machine.
There are multiple issues with flat bottomed wok.

The point of the wok is that the liquid gathers in the centre of the wok leaving the sides with very little liquid on them which helps a lot with browning. You can also throw small amounts of relatively delicate ingredients (like garlic) that will get sauted in deep pool of oil in the centre and then you can add more ingredients and build your dish.

With any flat bottom you give away some properties of the wok, depending on how large the flat part is.

Another nice property of wok is that because of its dome shape it will not deform even at high temperature differentials. Any flat piece of steel subjected to high temperature differentials will deform over time.
That's interesting. Having learned Haskell long before Rust (and having been programming in C++ for a long time) I found Rust's ?-notation to be annoyingly limited due to the reasons you gave, and also annoying syntactically. I saw in many Rust sources it's often tucked away at the end of lines, flush against the last character, a single character which changes the meaning of the line, well, the whole function, but is often lost to me visually, and I have to scan the line to see it. But I guess people got used to it or just don't bother parsing all characters in a line of code like I do.

When you say "They’re still trying to get the migration done today... " you mean Rust's core developers, right? Is there anywhere I can read up on it?
> How do you propose we would — systematically — provide housing to people who, for whatever reason, are not in a position to buy?

It’s cute, but not a very practical philosophy though. Most valued resources are physically finite. Who decides how beachfront properties are allocated? Who decides who should clean the toilets?
It's probably due to optimizations in high level code rather than the 32/64-bit aspect, but I'm just guessing. (To get that level of slowness you really have to fuck up at a higher level.)

Zoom Alternatives for Longer Meetings?
Before I start this, this desperately needs to be something a normal person can install.

Over the last couple of weeks, I've been teaching one of my best friends how to program. I've known him for well over a decade and this has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.

However, zoom, unless you want to pay for it will kick you out after 40 minutes.

We then tried to switch to Google meet. The experience was so bad, we gave up and went back to Zoom.

> older folk can't afford to keep the large one they spent their lives in

This is only a problem if you believe older folks should continue to live in big luxury houses for a pittance (read: gain the benefits of luxury without having the detriments of luxury), or the country does not have enough smaller housing for them to move.

In situations where housing is severely constrained at the cost of younger people, leaving old people in their large houses should be the last of your concerns. Doubly so for any social structures where older generations are extremely reliant on younger generations (almost every democratic, socialist or communist country).
I can speak just like that. Problem is I'm an uninformed idiot. But people who don't know that seem to think I'm pretty smart.

This WHY there's a "housing shortage", especially the removal of housing from long term occupancy due to short term rental...
> It's something that turns a basic necessity into a speculative asset

I see some broad parallels in this line of rhetoric to "Zeus brings misfortune because people are impious vs good fortune when they are worthy". It presumes a difference and a drive that is not there. All assets are both speculative and non-speculative at all times. There are no assets that cannot be bought speculatively and a house is always going to be an asset because it represents a big investment of capital.

If people are speculating on real estate, all that says is that the policy of an area is going to make housing rare vs the number of people who need housing. If people thought housing was going to be abundant they would not speculate.

There are problems in the housing market, but they are not to be found by worrying about people acting speculatively. People are responding to the real problem, whatever it is.

I agree. As long as Microsoft provides an easy way to download ISOs, it's their prerogative to deny third-party tools access.
That's an interesting thought. At first read, I like the concept. I'm struggling to see the downsides here.
You are talking about different kind of commoditization. Food processing is commotized, not the food itself. In fact food is naturally immune to have a speculative market as it could only be stored for short term.
I think this is blatantly unethical, but also stupid. By creating a speculative bubble fueled by low interest and moderate to high inflation, these people will put themselves upside down in their holdings. Meanwhile this drives up homelessness (plenty of tent cities popped up near me as rents and housing prices skyrocketed) which will drive political instability and increase crime as people become desperate.

Edit: one more thought, this also really hurts people who priced carefully by increasing their property tax and insurance rates by no fault of their own.

What you say is true... but that's also why American academics is widely viewed as corrupt and unproductive, ridden with fraudulent con artists, and falling into the same kind of failure mode seen in, for example, Soviet science under the regime of Lysenko.

Now if you wanted to rise to a position of academic power under the likes of Lysenko, you'd want to follow this careerist path, you'd want to observe Lysenko, sing the song that Lysenko wanted to hear, and you'd be rewarded appropriately.

That's the way of authoritarian bureaucratic institutionalism, not the way of high-quality science. It also doesn't really matter whether the structure is 'capitalist' or 'socialist', it's all about who sits at the top of the hierarchy in such systems. Crushing independent thought is what they have in common.

A land value tax would solve this - you want to use that acre of American Land, you pay the American People for the priviliege.
I think it will be a mix of both. Local storage at home is great for some grid independance during blackouts and usually you save some money when you have you own solar roof.

But local storage usually will be more expensive per storage capacity vs. larger storage facilities. This means, a large amount of storage will be there, because it is cheaper. Also the power company can control it better than home systems.

And of course there the electric cars which could partially contribute to the grid storage.
I'd personally focus on trying to get an embedded position. If you get a higher salary then you might not want to move to the second hop. First hop might also be a problem environment which drama you could do without. It's not always prudent to jump from a stable current environment, plus you also have to prove yourself to new people.

What works for me.

I don't use cast iron for boiling, simmering, and otherwise cooking liquids. It's a frying pan for frying.

I use stainless steel sauce pans, pots, etc. for liquids.

I clean the cast iron while it is hot. A lot of food comes off without water, only a little water is required to remove the rest, and the cast iron is mostly self drying. Since I usually use electric burners, I can stick it back on its burner to dry with the burner's residual heat. [1] This is also a reasonable time to oil it.

If something is really stuck, for example if I didn't clean the pan when hot, I heat the pan again and clean it when hot.

Cleaning stainless steel when it is hot is another algorithm that works on my machine.

There's certainly ritual and habit around my use of cast iron but I am not saying you should use cast iron. Particularly since I enjoy the process of using cast iron and you don't.

[1]: on my portable butane stove, I will reignite the flame and reheat the pan if necessary.
> Carmack is a high level martial artist. That would have required a significant time commitment.

Interestingly, it might not be the that significant of a commitment in terms of raw hours although it certainly is in terms of consistency and persistence. Quick googling reveals that it might take around 2500 training hours to get to BJJ black belt (I guess if you're pretty talented). Over 10-year period, that's just under 5 hours/week. And BJJ black belt is a pretty big deal.

You're right. I had the same thought.

Frankly, it's such a simple case that I'm hesitant to pin the problem on Postgres. I'm now inclined to believe that the ORM/query builder they're using (which I'm not familiar with) is generating a query that does something unusual. I'm also having a hard time understanding the code, so it may just be a bad query in the first place. If the generated SQL was shown, it would be much easier to look into.

Generally speaking, if you're just joining some data onto the results of an expensive operation, it's exactly the same as doing a second query, just without the round trip and overhead.

The lesson here is to always look at EXPLAIN ANALYZE any time you're doing Postgres optimization work. There's a wealth of useful information that will often point you to your mistake. Databases are quite often extremely good at doing common-sense operations well.

Actually, in most of the world, owning your home (really the land underneath it that is zoned as residential) is a form of rent-seeking, which is why 'land value tax' taxes that economic rent (money earned without providing anything in return).

Unfortunately, people have somehow been convinced that house price inflation is good because their house has more and more value, like a wheelbarrow of inflated currency and that the only fix is for everyone to buy their own house/land, which only worsens the problem.
