The library developer doesn't know what allocator will be passed, and the library user doesn't necessarily know how it will be used. They share an interface, so it will [probably] work, but it might not behave (mem/perf wise) as either expects. ArenaAllocators in particular don't play great with ArrayLists or nested ArenaAllocators.

I don't think it's a huge problem, but it's more subtle than an explicit allocator is a better because it provides more flexibility.

Who's angry about how people are spending their already-taxed income? Is that really a thing? Is it sincere or just racism masked as "think of the economy"? (Honest question, Not American. Don't live there, news to me).

left alt + left shift + print screen toggles high contrast mode in Window 9x. That was always fun to do on an unlocked screen.

Felt it ~600KM away in a high floor, building was swaying. Others didn't feel it and at first I thought I was just [unusually] light-headed or something, but then we realized a door was swinging back and forth slightly, and a hanging plant was swaying.

I also dislike his self-promotion, but his work _is_ well know and, as far as I know, well looked upon. I think he has more expertise and knowledge in this area than most (including what you'd find in the news).

Are you moving the goal post? I generally trust health agencies, more so when they all agree.

Not sure how you get to that conclusion from the article when it ends with the conclusion from 5 health agencies that it's safe (and then more references from the scientific community that it's safe).

I'm not sure this is particularly telling. You can write a tiny program that generates a 4K image, and the image could be 1000x larger.

Or, if I write a short description "A couple walks hand-in-hand through a park at sunset. The wind rustles the orange leaves.", I don't think it would be surprising to anyone that an image or video of this would be relatively huge.

20 seconds each time. Last time I tried to enable incremental build, it wasn't working for us. It was a while ago, but I think it had to do with something in our v8 bridge.
