It doesn't actually work the way it's portrayed in It's a Wonderful Life. The banks don't use depositor money to make loans. I suspect you will think what they actually do is even worse. Look into fractional reserve banking.

Never seen that movie but did watch a documentary ages ago about fractional reserve banking yes.

The bank still uses the deposit money in that system. You are right to point out those same people on the street I mentioned would freak out even more if they knew that banks essentially lend out more than we deposited and also that they might sell your debt and all that jazz (I bet most people either never understood what happened in 2008 or forgot already other than a vague "yeah mortgage crisis")

Which is why exceptions in Java can bubble up the stack? You don't have to catch it in a particular method you can let it go to the caller of the method, and so on.

Checked exceptions must be handled or declared. You end up with everything saying it can throw several random things like IOException.

I agree with you but I would extend that observation to include the age of the industries. We have been making structures for thousands of years. Software is an infant compared to that.

I think that has more to do with than some unverifiable sentiment like "software people are simply inherently less serious than other engineers".

You can use annotations to get rid of a lot of XML in server side Java. See Spring Boot for example.

The point is that no human had access to the same data, because the LLM used the unpublished work of a number of mathematicians. The only way for a human to gain access to the same work, i.e. the same dots to connect, is to be in active collaboration with those mathematicians. In which case they would all be included in the resulting paper.

Some of the QRH results, for example, weren't due to unpublished work. The AI pulled together a number of ideas that were known to people, but who didn't realize that connecting them would work. I detect more chagrin than outrage.

The docker daemon runs as root by default which IMHO is a security issue on machines with multiple users. For those machines, consider a rootless docker set up where each user runs their own docker daemon. (This is a supported configuration.)

All of the above applies to Linux, ymmv on other OSes

main (or master) is just another branch to git.

Correct. ..did you mean to reply elsewhere perhaps?

Yes sorry, missed the reply link

Who would have thought that a watch needed a Clock app?
