Let's call BS. It's inane to claim existence being the root of all evil, because, yeah, it's the root of friggin' _everything_. Nothing is forced on "you" because without existence there is no "you".

Does this factor in the wetware upkeep during the development cycle? Development in C generally is slower than in most of the other languages.

I am not clear why the proof is so long. By induction, the first i elements are already smaller than the A[i], so it's essentially an unoptimised version of for i: 0..n-1 A[i] = min(A[i:n])

The article has the wrong caption I would think ("running K3s on a bunch of PIs" would be more fitting). Netbooting a bare metal environment is quite straightforward for the PI 3 (dnsmasq has it all) and takes around 15-30 secs.

If infection rates were double digit, the "think of what we could save" argument might perhaps deserve some consideration. But as it stands, I feel the only warranted concern is the well-being of Covid survivors.

But to be fair, the components you use could be "spiked". Imagine resistors, capacitors, transistors that can find out when they are used in a particular configuration and change their parameters accordingly. /s

Using the same line of reasoning, men could argue that the majority of people are men. The whole argument is based on a crude form of survivor bias It's complete and utter bunk.

I think one reason that quitting is so hard is that it is assumed to be a 100 to zero transition. I believe that just as getting addicted, weaning off is a process. Without having established a mindset of truly wanting to quit and without c
