Change: Previously valid identifiers containing characters not present in UAX #44 properties XID_Start or XID_Continue, or not in Normalization Form C, are now rejected.
Rationale: Prevent confusing characters in identifiers. Requiring normalization of names ensures consistent linker behavior.
Effect on original feature: Some identifiers are no longer well-formed.
Arrg!! You can't rely on anyone these days. Oh well, at least these symbol-like characters which I've collected for use in Javascript (which has almost the same rules) should still work!
gcc 14 has not yet been released; going by past years, 14.1 should come out around the start of May (2024). clang 17 was released September (2023); note that you need to use libc++ (stlib=libc++), not libstdc++. VS 2022 17.7 has been out since August.
The Remington No. 1 - which introduced the QWERTY layout - omitted number keys for 0 and 1; the O and I letter keys were considered sufficient. The No. 2 added a shift key, and a full number row.
In addition to explicitly prohibiting it as a violation of the iPhone EULA, Apple goes to extraordinary lengths to close the exploits which allow jailbreaking. Apple doesn't just block iMessage on rooted phones, it tries to prevent jailbreaking outright.
Is there outrage when a clothes store puts the items they haven't been able to shift onto the sales rack? Is there outrage when a grocery store puts discount stickers on the food that's approaching its sell by date? Dynamic pricing is a fact of life in very many sectors.
Just because someone gives it a formal name doesn't mean it's true.
>One person's savings is another person's debt.
Only if you treat fiat currency (or bank deposits in general, the paradox you mention was formulated long before we got off the gold standard) as the only possible form of savings.
Sticking gold in a vault is only a means to saving if you have a reasonable expectation that when you take it out you can use it to obtain goods and services. It is thus a disguised claim on future production, and so relies on debt to exactly the same degree as bank money.
The Russian rouble was not free floating prior to the crisis. They tried to defy the iron triangle and paid for it. This is not a problem for the USA, since other currencies are denominated in terms of the dollar.
The reason it would be impossible for the US to default is that the US is not significantly in debt. Most of the federal debt is held domestically, meaning by the US. You can't be in debt to yourself.

Sure, we can just inflate away the Social Security fund, but do you think the effects of this would be better or worse than simply defaulting? And nevermind the political optics of "We still paid what we owed to China but magic wanded away the debt to Grandma!"
