My dog is twice as trustworthy as tech businesses.

Definitely pedantic, but also quite amusing.

> IMO if you're 16-18 and have no idea what kind of things you enjoy you've already failed/been failed.

Please. College is a chance to gain exposure to things you otherwise never would know existed. I knew what I enjoyed doing going into college, but I found a lot more.

I really enjoy Blessed and Possessed, so I don't think your analogy holds, unfortunately. If you want to give them another try, Sacrament of Sin is worth a listen.

Is that cross-reference published anywhere?

Scorpions with the Berlin Phil is also fabulous.

Acerbic, I think, but not really passive aggressive.

Yeah, that's a pretty accurate description of the color code system. There's some additional nuance to it, but a code red is an immediate existential threat to the business.

You're saying "it's possible" and your parent post is saying "it's unlikely". You're not disagreeing, exactly, but...

I don't think these are mutually incompatible. Reproducible builds means the same sources will produce the same results when built twice. The kernel's lack of stability guarantees refers to its evolution over time.

Semver is nearly impossible to do "properly" because of https://xkcd.com/1172. With a sufficient number of users, all bug fixes are breaking changes. If the behavior can possibly be observed in any way, some user will be depending on it, deliberately or otherwise.

Got a link? Sounds interesting.

Many people won't follow the rules unless they know there are consequences for not doing so. Oversight plays a key part of that.

Those houses do exist, and they're not fake. They're where the non-active launch officers live (the active ones are living below ground, in the silo).

Unless I'm misunderstanding youz it's 50x, not 25x:

2.5 EUR = 50 * 0.05 EUR

Just like the optimal amount of fraud is nonzero (https://www.bitsaboutmoney.com/archive/optimal-amount-of-fra...), the optimal number of dead children is too. A child doesn't have a meaningfully greater chance of dying on an airplane than an adult, so what this question is really asking (while crudely attempting to tug on the heartstrings) is whether we're willing to tolerate people dying in order to keep planes flying. The answer is obviously yes. We don't cancel all flights globally when a plane crashes and everyone dies, because we suddenly can't tolerate the risk anymore.

No new grad making even mid six figures. High six figures is only reached at pretty senior levels most FAANG employees won't reach.

No, there were layoffs at this time last year.

They missed the mark because "I'm sorry you feel that way" is the pseudo-apology equivalent of giving someone the finger. It's attempting to shift the blame onto the recipient for feeling bad, rather than the speaker actually admitting fault.

If they had designed a new plane from scratch, those people wouldn't have died because the new airframe wouldn't have been flying yet. Check back again in 2030.

Really? I think of a backdoor as a deliberate vulnerability, and the exploit as the attack (or attack code) that makes use of any kind of vulnerability.

Let's say the NSA adds a backdoor. If someone else finds it, isn't that an exploit?

I imagine you're correct if we're talking about the elite enjoying more legal privileges than us mere commoners. Both counties do have have that in common.

This is a general human pattern and not at all confined to HN.

auto in this context creates a non-type template parameter (NTTP). They've been in the language since C++11 (std::array<int, 3>).

That's an excellent postmortem culture.

It's not ridiculous. Your statement reads as "I condemn it, but they really had it coming", which a reasonable person could understand to mean "I don't really condemn it".

Presumably because their operator did not make the same mistake as the one on the Vincennes?

Any speaker is also a microphone, so the ANC mic is probably not required.

Heroic, but also pyrrhic.
