Assuming a representative sample, the best point estimate is 1/12 (8.33%), and the 95% confidence interval is 0.21% to 39%.

You can store the Merkle trees inside of a SQLite database as extra columns attached to the data.
That way you get the benefits of a high-level query language and a robust storage layer as well as the cryptographic verification.
In fact, there is a version control system called Fossil which does exactly that:
https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/fossil-v-git.wiki
The baseline data structures for Fossil and Git are the same, modulo formatting details. Both systems manage adirected acyclic graph (DAG) of Merkle tree structured check-in objects. Check-ins are identified by a cryptographic hash of the check-in contents, and each check-in refers to its parent via the parent’s hash.
The difference is that Git stores its objects as individual files in the
.git
folder or compressed into bespoke key/value pack-files, whereas Fossil stores its objects in a SQLite database file which provides ACID transactions and a high-level query language. This difference is more than an implementation detail. It has important practical consequences.

The SQL query capabilities of Fossil make it easier to track the changes for one particular file within a project. For example, you can easily find the complete edit history of this one document, or even the same history color-coded by committer, Both questions are simple SQL query in Fossil, with procedural code only being used to format the result for display. The same result could be obtained from Git, but because the data is in a key/value store, much more procedural code has to be written to walk the data and compute the result. And since that is a lot more work, the question is seldom asked.
The right balance on this is to set it up to only trim whitespace on lines that you have edited, and only on-save.
Emacs has ws-butler for that behavior: https://github.com/lewang/ws-butler
If undefined behavior is triggered anywhere in the program, then it is allowed by the standard for the process to ask the anthropomorphized compiler to punch you.

Small correction to an otherwise great explanation: SSNs are not recycled after death.
**Q20: *Are Social Security numbers reused after a person dies?*****A: No. We do not reassign a Social Security number (SSN) after the number holder’s death. Even though we have issued over 453 million SSNs so far, and we assign about 5 and one-half million new numbers a year, the current numbering system will provide us with enough new numbers for several generations into the future with no changes in the numbering system.
Yes, but it’s a prefix and can’t be used as a word on its own.
I am a native English speaker and I know it. It’s rare though.
Same meaning as in German and apparently we borrowed it from German.
What you are looking for is some way to shortcut the process of learning to write an operating system by re-using your existing knowledge of Python.
(I’m not judging that; I understand why you want to do it)
The simple truth is that there is no way to do that. Any solution that involves using Python in a kernel would cost you more in terms of complexity and time than learning C would.
It is rarely worth it to use a language outside of the domains that it is normally used for.
I appreciate this. It’s a good overview of what it means to be a productive part of a larger context.
I prefer the terms “throughput” for “worker productivity” and “latency” for “work-unit productivity” but I can see why they chose to use their terms.
Ken Paxton, the Texas Attorney General who is primarily responsible for the present situation, used to be my local state senator.
I specifically kept my voter registration in Texas during my college years so that I could continue to cast my vote against him. There is nothing good to say about that evil man.
I like Texas, and I hope that at some point we figure out how to govern it in a sane way, because I unfortunately cannot recommend living there right now.
Twitter’s a bit of a bad example. Musk may be using it that way now in order to make the best of a bad situation, but it’s pretty clear that he didn’t actually intend to buy it in the first place.
Even someone like Musk doesn’t ever intend to go out and lose tens of billions of dollars on a single purchase.
My poodle knows how to tap the homepad with his nose to play music. He gets up to it, taps it, and then curls down beneath it to listen. It’s very cute and definitely intentional on his part.
I associate the word “straphanger” with tabloid media. They have some words that they really like. It doesn’t really even make sense for NYC Because the subway doesn’t have straps.
I’ve always thought it was weird how there are two media properties involving genderless gem people.
(the other is Land of the Lustrous)
But he lives in NYC (Staten Island). It’s his own local government.

Swift was developed by a lot of former C++ committee members, and in C++ circles they’ve been advocating for it as a “successor language” for quite some time.
This could definitely be confusing if you don’t have that context, but making Swift useful for this kind of project has been an explicit goal of the Swift developers for years.

I think if anything they would be biased towards having fewer allergies than normal people. Which suggests that 0.21% (1 in 500) is a reasonable bound for how rare a moon dust allergy could be.
