I used to know someone who worked on missile guidance systems. He rationalised it as "I only care about the code."

Then there was a war in the middle east and there were TV images of dead and badly injured people being pulled out rubble on the news. They'd been put under the rubble by the missiles he had helped design.

He changed jobs not long after.

But it would be misleading to reduce this to a moral binary. He wasn't a bad person in most ways, and like most people who aren't bad people in most ways he ended up in that situation through a disinterest in anything outside of his domain, and also because he was allowing economics to do his moral thinking for him.

He was doing work that interested him, paying his bills, and keeping on top of the mortgage. What more can you ask of someone?

The secondary market for whiskey is quite real. The article is remarkably accurate on that accord, so it is very easy to believe the meat market is similar.

With regard to booze: there is no way to truly verify or authenticate until you drink it against a known good bottle. For pricey bottles, most groups require detailed pictures of the laser code as well as the top foil measured against a ruler. Ultimately the only security is the attestation of references from previous transactions, but many of the large groups have been banned recently, which has been a huge hit to references.

E.g. The MSRP of Pappy Van Winkle 15yr is $99. It goes for $999 on the secondary market (as well as in 95% of liquor stores in CA). Many of the raffle pages offered a shot at these bottles for like $100 x 10 slots, etc.

AFAIK, it's only illegal to sell or ship booze. And again, AFAIK, it is not illegal to buy it second hand for personal consumption.
Often you can deduce the "why" from the code because it makes some sense, but you can almost never find out is the "why not" .

I hadn't previously read much about Bolshevik ethics. Fascinating and also a bit terrifying. Ideology wholly unrestrained and completely ungrounded is unimaginable thing. Makes me want to read more Soviet history.

I must have had some prior vague sense of the importance of Russian literature and it's place in their culture (faint memories of struggling through Crime and Punishment in high school are coming back to me). But this article put it an entirely different light, which was quite interesting.

However, I did find it strange how the religious belief described in the article was not critically examined in any depth, and was instead simply dusted with this hue of great significance. The only caveat I noticed was the sentence describing how it didn't seem to matter which religious faith the individual had, just that they had some.

So it's your position that if I send an HTTP request for the public homepage of a public website to a publicly accessible server and that server sends me a response, I'm stealing that response? I'm obligated to render all the content you send me, and run all the code, just because you sent it to me?

No. If you don't want me to see your content, don't send it to me.

If you want me to agree to do something before looking at your content, then send me a contract of some sort and don't send me the content until I agree to the terms of your contract. Otherwise, I haven't agreed to do anything for you just because you sent me your content.

I'll also point out that you said upthread:

"If one doesn't want to break the web, they shouldn't block ads since most of the web is free thanks to ads."

First you say it's free, then you stay I'm stealing it? Which is it, are they free or am I obligated to pay for them?

Imagine if other businesses worked this way. You hear a store is giving away books, so you go and ask them for a free book, and they say, sure, yes, the books are free! But as you're reading the book, you come to a page where it says that by accepting a free book you've agreed to also read a packet of marketing materials for the bookstore, send them a DNA sample, and spend some time mining gold for them. And no, you can't give the "free" book back, you've already started reading it so if you don't do what the bookstore demands, that would be stealing!
Nuking Hurricanes: The Surprising History of a Bad Idea (2016)
I came to same conclusion as an European (Finn).

As my Prius is approaching ten years age, I'm going to retire it and get new primary car. I calculated that new Corolla Hybrid with best trim + gas for 5 years will cost roughly the same as SR+ with electricity (inc. 2 KEUR rebate).

Btw, currently I pay 300 EUR per month for gas (~1.5 per litre), while SR+ monthly loan payment starts from 450 EUR (with 5 KEUR down payment). Electricity is relatively cheap (and green!) in Finland, also insurancing a Tesla has no premium. It starts to look like a bargain!

We drive a lot, almost 50,000 km per year. Of course there are lot variables, but I'm pretty sure that gas and ICE car taxation won't get any cheaper. Not to forget that SR+ is definitely more fun daily driver.

> Are their mobile ads better than Google's for developers?

The situation may have changed but last time I worked (as a PM) with people doing mobile marketing back in 2015, Facebook App install campaigns were _massively_ better than anyone else. You could get installs for under $3 per user and the performance was fantastic eg 1000 times more installs in the same time as the next best network.

Facebook may have upped their prices since and Googles App install products have got a lot better, especially on YouTube

Different experience in English academia, where I encountered random names (e.g. 'mira' for a shell server and 'laplace' for a Physics Dept server). The acronyms could at times be interesting. Particular favourite was a 'central university network time' server. That was later renamed to ntp.*.ac.uk, after stern recommendations.

> The important thing is that all evolution equations that we know of are time-reversible.

I've heard this before, but it's so surprising to me, when one of the simplest mathematical operations - addition - is not reversible. e.g. if a+b=4, you can't infer the values of a and b (beyond their linear relationship). This non-injectivity is a kind of summarising, with less information, where more than one state maps to one.

So "evolution equations" (reality) are not like addition; state changes never summarise.

Well, in the USA, any train that is interstate is required to be built as if it was a freight train, even if it's only carrying passengers 1 mile.

So 750 Euro for the car and electricity. Wouldnt it be cheaper to use other means of transportation?

I guess thats not even the end of the line since there probably are other costs like taxes, insurance and repairs?

I use several types of transportation every day (Bikes, Scooters, Mopeds, Buses, Trains, Cabs) and I pay less then 300 Euro a month for it all. And its much less hassle since I can just start wherever I am and never have to search for a parking space, walk to my car or deal with any maintenance.

Genuine questions. I just don't know this area...

> Manufacturers always display the write/read speed using many cores...

Why does #cores matter? Once the IO is initiated it's handed off to some DMA/coprocessor stuff so the core can get back to starting other IOs without contention. Being clueless I can't see why a single core couldn't saturate IO bandwidth by just blasting out IO requests.

> ...and with huge queue depth.

Really stupid question now, I thought disk queues were queued up requests caused by issuing a buttload of IO requests, so why does a disk queue of say 20 actually make things any faster over a disk queue of just 2?

I know (correction, believe) with spinny disks a longer queue could be used by the controller to optimise access on the disk surface by proximity, but with SSDs that performance characteristic doesn't exist (access is uniform anywhere, I think) so that optimisation doesn't apply.
750 euro? I think you misread. Electricity for SR+ would cost less than 100 EUR per month, 300 EUR is my current gas cost for Prius.

I live in countryside, so there is no practical alternative transport options available. Moved from a city 5 years ago and have been happy. Family-sized housing in Helsinki costs way too much and public transportation works poorly (IMO). Of course, in the end it comes down to personal preference of life style.
Error message phrasing should not be in code. It should be in localization files, even for the default language, and not require a developer to modify.
Because the timestamp on the file was set back, it did not show up in any Git diffs.

Is `git status` / `git diff` etc relying only on the timestamp of modified local files to decide if a diff is needed?

If so, that's a pretty sneaky exploit and something I'll bet many build systems are vulnerable to.

This reuse of the local clone is probably done to avoid the needed to clone from scratch. An alternative might be to have a (bare/mirror) clone maintained in `~/.cache/whatever`, then use the `--reference` flag e.g.:

git clone --reference ~/.cache/git-whatever https://github.com/whatever/whatever
