YMMV, but I found Daemon rather unreadable. Both in writing and the content.
Definitely not even in the same ballpark as Gibson, or even Stephenson.

The plank rule just exists, not enforced, so nobody observes it.
Same will happen with the high-tech regulation. In fact, it is already happening left and right where it does exist.
Please add spaces after periods. The presentation is terrible.
I'd rather have an aluminum key.
Twice I tried it on rental cars it freaked the hell out of me. This is what I'd imagine people experiencing some exotic neurological collapse feel like - part of hands feeling warm, while surrounding bits feeling frozen. Mixed signaling, really bizarre dissonance. So now when I get a new car, I get pretty much every option except for the heated steering wheel.
There are some, with code consistency cross-checks and such. Cracking them with static code patching can get very time-consuming. Patching them dynamically works, but some have checks for that too. It's not common though for sure.
One of my recent favourites - Le Soleil by Foscarini - https://www.foscarini.com/en/product/le-soleil-std-s-en/
It's wonderfully asymmetrical without overdoing it, with every layer suspended and swaying independently when prodded. Exceptional light distribution.
It's just that professions are properties.

That's pretty damn obvious to everyone with a half of brain, yet here we are being pulled apart.
It holds up very well in a lot of situations.
A bit more guidance there would go a long way.

From the "Crticial reception" section:
Criticism surrounding the book involved concern about statistical errors in the book and the alarmism it generated in some readers.[27] A review from Alexey Guzey, an independent researcher, criticized the book in an essay entitled Matthew Walker's "Why We Sleep" Is Riddled with Scientific and Factual Errors.[28] The criticism was discussed on the BBC series More or Less.[29] Guzey's criticism was also discussed by Andrew Gelman, a statistician at Columbia University.[30] In a later post on Columbia's statistics blog, Gelman indicated that Walker's purported removal of a bar from a graph could be a "smoking gun," commenting that it entered "research misconduct" territory.[31] Walker posted his responses to these and other criticisms in 2019 on his own blog.

Not being a domain expert, I'd certainly want to see a handful of peer reviews for a book of this sort before subscribing to its conclusions. The fact that it's a best-seller and well-received by the mainstream press is largely irrelevant.
I'd guess they use .mod files - instruments and tracks, rather than digitized audio.

It should abort the program, logging the stack and whatever the context you pass into in, printf-style. If it doesn't abort, it just buries the issue of the program being in incorrect internal state. It should never be OK.
This was in '93 or thereabouts and they were really expensive and through that very sparse where I was.
The latter had a printer port output option that, combined with 10 resistors and 5 minutes of soldering, yielded proper sound on any standalone speaker. In the era of chip tunes and inaccessible SoundBlaster cards, it was nothing short of magic.
