> You essentially can make money buying something.
Well, only if you can earn more over 12 months than the asset you bought depreciated. I think a better way to look at it is that you can earn a small discount.
Compilers are free to assume x is non-null at the time it’s dereferenced, so isn’t it true by definition? Do you have an example that doesn’t rely on undefined behavior?
>Being 'good' with money basically keeps you at the exact same socioeconomic level but risk-taking and entrepreneurship generally correlate with social mobility.
Implied in there is that the goal of savings should be to increase your standard of living, but for some I think the goal is to maintain their current standard of living over time even as their income changes.
Granted many savers might already be at a comfortable standard of living, maybe as the result of prior successful risk-taking. Learning to develop your earnings potential in your 20s is probably the best savings strategy (but you should learn to save too).
Well, sure, because the beachball means the main thread is hung, and that can happen for many reasons unrelated to memory pressure.
