No, we're not.
Which is why exceptions should never really be used for control flow. In our code, an exception basically means "the program is closing imminently, you should probably clean up and leave things in a sensible state if needed."
Agree with everything else mostly. C/C++ being a "thin layer on top of hardware" was sort of true 20? 30? years ago.
Have you tried running sfc /scannow?

Are there any composers from other cultures that come close to doing what Bach (and Mozart, Beethoven, Stravinsky, etc) did? Like, I want to hear the Japanese equivalent of the Brandenburg Concertos or Mass in B Minor, all guns blazing. Don't tell me "well, it's the space between the notes that matter..." just overwhelm me with genius that is self-evident the second the music starts. I have a few theories, but haven't really researched it.
I just looked it up, they had something called Neptune at Night that broadcast from midnight to 9AM. I probably caught it in the mornings before school.
It matters for the pitcher because if you can disguise your pitch well enough that it looks like a ball coming in but is actually a strike, so that the hitter doesn't even try to hit it, that is a great signal.
As a batter, you typically* want to swing at strikes, so you want to know if you are letting hittable pitches go by. From the time baseball players are like 10 years old, you'll hear coaches and parents yelling "be a hitter, don't strike out looking!".
* there are always situations you probably don't want to swing, like if you have 3 balls and no strikes, you usually want to not swing, and assume you'll get another ball and will get walked to get on base. There are a lot of other situations where you do or don't swing, and the strikeout looking vs swinging measures that.
I've been mostly on a keto diet since 2014, and it is probably the most important health choice I've ever made. At the time I worked in Neurology at a Children's hospital, and a keto diet is one of the treatment options for epilepsy. I talked with the clinical dietician at the time, and asked if these kids were having heart attacks in their 20s. On the contrary, much of the department was on the diet, or a low glycemic diet, as was much of the oncology dept. Obviously, this is an N of 1, and I'm not an MD, but every single aspect of my physiological and mental health has improved over the last 10+ years.
At this same time, this feels like No Speaker Left Behind. Now that I am middle aged and have a nice sound system at home and in my car, I sort of want a mix optimized for THAT! Like, don't hold me back just because we're still mixing for AM radio in a 1983 Pontiac Firebird!
Do you have any resources on this? I'm working on a project with sqlite, with multiple threads writing, and want to squeeze out a little more performance.
The last game I liked like these was Morrowind back in 2004 or so. One of the great things about being a parent is sharing these kinds of things with your kids. I've already got Silksong downloaded on our Switch and XBox to play together when they get home from school in ~1 hr.

My overriding personal objective is to be able to exist without being expected to consume and spend constantly every moment, waking or otherwise. In an ideal world, I should have to give consent to be advertised to, and should be able to operate in public without being bombarded with companies trying to take my money.
