They are also adverse to playing in bands, seems they are not much for gigging[^].

Well you could try turning the heat setting all the way up on the iron, set it on the ironing board, then cosey up the whole assembly next to you while you're sitting in your work-chair working ...
You sound cold.

Three days after last year Purim festieves was the first day kids didn't go to scholl because of COVID.
Since then we had two and a half lockdown, we - mostly - wearing mask and working a lot from home (except those had lost their job).
But personally I found these times we locked in-house together very good...

I'm happy to see you've found some bright notes in this.
Because of the lockdown I got some access to some really good services I couldn't get in my side of the state. Bless zoom, and people's newfound comfort with it.

The really weird thing is how "familiar" it's all got - to the point where you see an older TV program with people in shops, not social distancing, not wearing masks, and you feel uncomfortable ...
I suspect it's going to take quite a while to get back to "normal", if we ever do.
Last summer I had to make an appointment to see a jeweler, and everyone was happy that I was going to turn up in a mask and gloves. A year ago, and the police would be waiting for me ...

It makes me want to cry when I see that, we've lost so much and so many.

I will never feel uncomfortable seeing people unmasked and close together. I constantly feel uncomfortable when I see people in masks and socially distancing. It's like living in a dystopian sci-fi short story where social interaction is regulated by the government, surveillance spies, and the self-made gestapo.
But I hear what you're saying.

You'll be surprised how quickly normal returns to well, being normal.
This whole thing will turn into a memory of a freakin' weird thing that we managed to survive. The only caveat for you, unfortunately, are the lingering affects on you and Mrs.
Even at the current level, Next Monday Mrs. & I get our second shots; my son's had his and his wife soon to follow; Visiting season will reopen. My daughter/son-in-law not vaccinated. Both sets have kids in school/nursery-school so they've already upped their acceptable risk.
Funny thing about masks: I've observed that in many parts of Asia, before all of this, it was common for people to walk the streets with a mask. Sometimes for particle filtration.
What we won't get used to is the climate swirling down the shitter - it keeps changing and that will be a problem that will likely distract us from the rest

I'm a sucker for these. Talented family.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

I think we should stay in lockdown forever.

Still people complain, more than everywhere else in Europe.

This is something I'm really curious about, and maybe it's just because I'm newish to coding small gadgets, though most of it is comfortable to me since I cut my teeth on 6502 CPUs back in the day.
What is the purpose of writing new code in C for targeting, well ... anything?
I've put away my C compiler and simply relied on limited use of C++ features to keep the footprint the same as it is in C:
1. no vtables. slightly complicates inheritance, as you can no longer do virtual ~foo() {}
2. extremely limited use of the STL, if at all. I typically use std::atomic if available, but not std::string, for example
3. judicious use of extern "C" when exporting my main, or importing "C" headers
4. no exceptions/SEH/etc, RTTI or other C++ frills that bloat code or stack
Why do I do it?
Primarily for that sweet sweet RAII, but also general source management. Classes can keep everything together. HPP based libraries are useful for simplifying distribution. public and private members replace the need for hiding in C files in many cases. and many other reasons.
Should I not be doing it? Is there a reason this is bad form?
Is there a reason you wouldn't?

Typical C++ baggage is a lots of behind the scenes function calls (ctor, copy ctor,dtor,=, &adressof. So if your program must execute in a certain amount of CPU clocks then C++ is a bad choice. Such as, you do not want to slow down "fly by wire" flap extender module by unnecessary function jumps for example
