To me it reads “We aim for 30k but take what we can get.” You can see that the update sizes from the nytimes source vary greatly.

In the scenario you're asking for - the zombie companies just layoff employees, cut wages/benefits, landlords evict, etc. The zombie lives on just fine until the market corrects while everyone else fails.
You're correct that failing companies need to fail but your "just let the free market handle it" approach is a fairy tale.
>Using NMR spectroscopy, the researchers found that when the cells become stressed and die, they release PAR, which binds very strongly to calcium ions. Once released, the PAR starts mopping up calcium into larger droplets which stick onto the components in artery walls that give the artery its elasticity, where they form ordered crystals and solidify, hardening the arteries.
But then they don't discuss it at all - just talk about the potential solutions and discovery etc.
Can anyone elaborate on what this means "that when the cells become stressed and die"? Is this something we have control over? Is it related to stress? Does diet & exercise reduce the incidence of this? Is it inevitable?
Or from another angle "Once released, the PAR starts mopping up calcium into larger droplets which stick onto the components" does this imply that reduction of blood calcium (via exercise etc) reduces the impact of these cell deaths?
Pretty interesting how simply viewing the world through an ever so slightly different verbal lens can have interesting impacts on perspective. albeit mostly only little things. But as you alluded to, it's mostly only the little things that might catch you off guard anymore.
Not so much the tomfoolery but just the relative contentment with their lives, despite their lacks.
If you're not aware of it, radioambulante.org is great.
A lot of math undergrads won't take CS classes, won't learn to program, bc they think it is somehow inferior.
source: BS/MS in applied math and didnt learn to program until grad school. I know many other math undergrads that had similar views. I now work in c++ all day - writing algorithms for catheter navigation and geometric mapping of the heart (and previously image processing for factory automation, machine learning/data science for predictive maintenance via aircraft sensor data).
It's a real problem. You don't even need a full CS minor to be useful in industry. An intro programming class, data structures, 1 or 2 algorithms classes. An OS class if you want to be more thorough. In some students it's an attitude problem, in others it's just unfortunate lack of awareness.
So if said beer nerd had an issue with the big corps buying up ratings... perhaps paying for apps or donating in some way is what one ought to do.
But I definitely experience the "you learnt a thing" addiction. And frankly, I don't know how to feel about that. If that's the thing I'm searching a hit for... do I need to stop that?
I think probably yes - but I'm not sure why. When I thought deeply about it and talked with a friend about it, we somewhat came to a consensus that as long as you still do a significant amount of deep reading, thinking, work, etc per day these little hits of "learnt a thing" probably are fine to endulge.
It's when you're always only "learnt a thing" and never digging deeply into them and applying them that you have a problem.
But what's the right balance? Or is some hits of learnt a thing always bad?
To what end? As has been pointed out they have all that info anyway so it's not like you're making the situation worse.
But more importantly, if your credit is frozen who cares? What are they going to do with your SSN? Get a loan? Get a CC? Buy a house?
That's the point of a freeze, it makes your PII less valuable.
The actual concern is about the PIN. Because surely they could go through the trouble of PIN recovery to unfreeze your credit and then make use of it. But considering the numbers game, its not worth their trouble vs all the unfrozen accounts.
That was my interpretation as well.
Reading through some docs, it looks like pybind suits better for a python codebase that occasionally needs C++ pieces added in as you have to setup the C++ code to handle the py needs.
SWIG I was always impressed with exactly your point. You could sometimes just make 1 big header file in a facade pattern to expose some "start" buttons needed to run a huge c++ application and nothing else needed to be setup. No going back and forth.
Example usage here was a single heavy duty image processing application but using python has the distributor and work manager. C++ code was a "worker" and python and zeroMQ did everything else. So the only "connection" we needed was a start button and some metadata to the c++. Maybe 1 header file with 100-200 lines of code to make the bridge for SWIG.
(to anyone else reading) does that sound trivially simple to the do the same with pybind?
no, that one replaces the low-level anxiety of getting shot.
