Unsigned integer overflow is well defined, though. Not something that should be sanitized. A lot of code out there relies on it.

I remember when `alert` would lock up the entire browser UI. So if you put it on an infinite loop, that was it. You had to kill the browser process to shut it off.

A lot of countries require you to declare your total wealth on your tax forms. Then once someone gets audited, that gets checked. Obviously it’s possible to hide it, but that in itself is a crime, and not everyone is willing to risk going to jail over paying taxes.

You obviously can’t convert between the two directly and suggesting that is disingenuous.

Income tax doesn’t affect unrealized capital gains (where the rich “hide” most of their income).

A wealth tax (even without a minimum threshold) doesn’t apply to the poorest who can’t accumulate enough to even have any savings.

This conversion only works for income that is entirely saved and reinvested, which the majority of people can’t afford to do.

Since C++11, data() is also required to be null terminated. Per your own source and cppreference.

What do you use the Mac Studio for?

I’ve always felt they weren’t really worth it for performance per dollar spent. For C++ work I just use a non-Mac workstation. For lighter workloads the Mac Mini is very capable already.

Except 120 Hz display I believe, which is big reason for me
