Battlestar Galactica was a great example of a great 1st Episode.
When #6 showed up at the neutral station, and asked "Are you alive?".
Perfect Hook. Hot Chick, Menacing robots, existential crisis

So what will they do then, just assert with an error?
They will fail to compile.
There is no static code analysis that can find all potential overrun bugs
That's not what you want Lint to do. You don't want it to say "This is proven unsafe," but "This can't be proven safe".
If the code isn't clearly safe, then it should be rewritten so it is.
If you think otherwise write a white paper and collect your nobel prize in computer science.
There is no Nobel Prize in computer science, but you would get a Turing Award, which would likely be renamed in your honor since you proved Turing wrong.
And you don't have to use all the features of C++ all the time.
You can't pick and choose features if you're working on code you didn't write.
About 4/5ths of geothermal heat comes from radioactive decay.
4/5ths comes from radioactive decay in the crust.
The other 1/5th comes from radioactive decay in the core and mantle.
Most heat is created in the crust because uranium, thorium, and potassium generate the most heat and all form oxides rather than dissolving in iron.
That doesn't make 44 TW seem all that large.
The watts don't matter much because there's a six-sextillion-tonne thermal buffer.
If the decay stopped tomorrow, it wouldn't matter for a million years.
However, he's easily manipulated (which is why there was no 2nd debate with Harris),
How does being manipulated relate to that? Conventional wisdom is that the party ahead in the polls stands to lose the most (and gain the least) from a debate.
I wouldn't accept an entire rocket from Bezos or Musk.
If you can't treat other people well and can't allow free editorial expression you're just a scumbag.
And?! It’s called Profit Motive. America was a country hell-bent on abusing family doctors to sell cigarettes as a benefit
The CDC doesn't need profit. If you want to allege that they are doing something improprietous, it could be true but you need a thing called evidence.
