Too much invested to trade and too old to be retrained. 
I'm not sure how many cookies it makes to be happy, but so far it's not 27.

I started learning rust and I learned just enough to realize I would never use it.

Covid hasn't interfered with my plans, but another lockdown has wrecked tennis and fitness training for the next month. The last time it happened, I got a fair bit of code written. My tennis pro's sons are probably going a bit stir crazy, so I got them memberships to chess.com for Christmas.

My tennis pro, fitness trainer, and I would all carry on despite COVID, but control freaks have wrecked that.

What holiday plans? 
Most Israelis celebrate the Jewish new year, which falls in September or October of the civil calendar. Some celebrate the civil new year, mostly those of Soviet extraction ("Novi God"). It isn't an official holiday here.

I'm retired. We don't get holidays.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

I intend to spend this holiday weekend putting my side-by-side (Teryx4) back together. Decided to remove and replace/upgrade all of the suspension components, and add much larger tires. What a task...
I recently started book seven of The Wheel of Time (A Crown of Swords) which I intend to read on as well. A very nice high fantasy series spanning 14 books. Worth a read if fantasy is your thing.
I'll probably finish up Horizon Zero Dawn on PC too. Been slowly working on 100% completion on it and the expansion. One of my top ten favorite games of all time.
Finally, put in some work on a Xamarin app I've been working with this last year. So much left to do.
Oh, and some Mario Kart on the Switch with the kids.

Monolith appears in Woodstock cornfield... and disappears a couple of days later.

Well, it works for me in Israel.
TL;DR version: Someone placed a wooden replica of the 2001: A Space Odyssey monolith in a field over Christmas, disappearing it on Sunday.

I could have suggested using a VPN, but I didn't really think that a funny news article is worth wasting that much time & effort. Perhaps I was mistaken...

You too. Let's all hope that it is an improvement on 2020.

In looking at this JPL/Nasa code, it makes references to doing this and that for "performance".
In some cases, their loop variable is an int; in others a short; in others a long.
Given a choice which is best?
Probably an int, unless you "need" a long.
Ironic that for the sake of "storage" (2 bytes), they've sacrificed performance.

what does the compiler turn those into and what's the CPU word size?

You mean it might be code that assumes a particular multi-platform optimizing compiler?
And only if the index has no other function than to "iterate"?
And refactoring is not an option?

I mean: where does the code in question run? And what does the compiler generate, and how does that mesh with the target CPU?
If it's hardware that's going to space, it's probably not running on a common commercial CPU, so you can't make assumptions about word size and what a 'short' is, etc..

if it's commented as being there for performance reasons, you can probably assume it was profiled and tested for performance.
