The development of an engineer:

1. newbie - follow the rules because you're told to

I often see code that follows the rules right into a swamp. Your example is a fine illustration of this.
Is buying old cars instead of new ones not voting with your wallet, as you suggest? I can’t think of a better way to convince car manufacturers to change than not buying newer cars. Especially if resale values of newer cars is lower than older cars, consumers will be less likely to buy a newer car even if they want one!
An analysis of a particular project includes its scope, existing code, existing developer resources, the time they have available, the things they themselves are familiar with/good at. Any analysis that involves purely looking at a competing project is probably not even wrong.

The gimp project has provided a decent and useful tool for about 28 years whereas most new projects started from scratch die shortly. A from scratch rewrite would be a massive undertaking which might exceed the available resources/skills and might simply kill a useful project rather than producing a better one.

A glib well this guy did it is not an analysis.

What bar are you talking about? We use the state of the art to treat indirect identifiers without pseudonymization, but we pseudonymize as needed if that’s overkill. The bar is set very high for our service. Sadly, very few companies are actually interested in treating indirect identifiers or consider anything besides direct identifiers a problem.

I’m familiar with GDPR, we work with EU companies, and all the ones we work with use original definition. NIST link aside, these terms are hardly standards anyway. They are nearly colloquial vocabulary, which unfortunately in this space I expect to remain imprecise and vague. This why we generally only use it in marketing and comms, while in the actual product we drill down into specifications for direct and indirect identifiers, distortion, and risk.
The contradiction between Maxwell’s electrodynamics and Newtonian mechanics was the raison d'etre of the relativity foundations laid out by Lorentz, Poincaré and Einstein. And since those subjects are usually studied before the theory of relativity, I think it makes sense to piggyback on them and use the historical reasoning to build the intuition behind relativity.

Not to mention Perfection is defined differently be everyone. It's all opinion, someone's "perfect" code is another persons shit code.

And it's not even just different among people. Along the time dimension your perfect code can become bad later as requirements change and things evolve you may realize that what was once (in your opinion) perfect code was actually a very bad way to incorporate a certain feature.

Think of perfect code as a controversial literature novel. There is literally no point in building perfection unless your goal is only to build perfection for yourself rather then a customer/audience.

Krita is great for drawing, but it's no photo editor. It probably shouldn't be, either, that's more GIMP's space.

In my experience, Paint.NET walks a very fine line between "more complex than MS Paint" and "GIMP/Photoshop/Photopea levels of complexity". Great for altering screenshots and applying filters, but not as overwhelming as a dedicated artist's tool.

I'd say Pinta serves a purpose very similar to Paint.NET on Linux. It's it quite as polished as Paint.NET is, but it's still a good balance when KolourPaint is too simple and when GIMP is overkill.
All valid points. The problem with modern cars is that it's going in the same direction as most technology, that you can't do much with it yourself in terms of modifications or repairs. There are solutions like that with laptops (eg. Framework) but I'm not sure there will be similar initiatives with cars. Most people don't want to fix their own cars (or laptops for that matter!) so it's difficult to get market forces to work towards it. But a small number of people will always appreciate simpler technology even if it comes with downsides in terms of less safety or comfort, due to the increased self-reliance it provides.

I like new cars. I like the new technology, new features, new safety standards, all of it. I even like the smell (though it's probably cancerous, whatever). So while I get that the knee jerk answer is "I love my old car and I'm never buying anything made since 2001", I think the better discussion to be having is how we adjust regulations to affirm that in fact we do still own the cars we buy, regardless of the technology installed in them.

My formatted-by-productivity-standards brain agrees, my heart disagrees.

I enjoy the art of programming. I love to think that, for certain types of projects, I am allowed to aim for and reach perfection.

My vision of perfection is not yours, so what. If your "good enough" is actually your perfection because of business impact, user happiness or optimal time management, good for you. Just don't tell me that my perfection does not exist.

Sometimes, it's good to know that you can do something just for the beauty of it, and programming could (should!) be one of them.

On a lot of newer cars the fuel injectors, fuel pump, and starter are part of the immobilizer system.

The transponder in the key bow or your keyfob is checked by the car and it needs to see the right key for those parts to function.

This is part of the anti-theft to stop simple hot wiring. Although I will be honest seems more like away for dealerships to charge an insane amount for new keys.

If I am being generous the security would be trying to stop the car running in the event those are tampered with but I don’t entirely believe it.
As a city slicker, I’ll admit that my appreciation of cars has increased since moving in without one.

I enjoy not having to drive for daily tasks, but being able to put a big Costco haul in your trunk is undeniably nice, a lot of outdoor recreation is (and can only be) practical with a car, and car renting is in a sorry state right now. It’s a pain in the ass and in the wallet, if you like to take trips on the weekends.

Well, that and wondering how people survive freeway crashes when a ~40mph crash screwed my car up that much!

We were a bit bruised but everyone walked away. I consider us lucky the pickup driver hadn't modified their truck and it had the OEM ride height and bumpers. Lots of people like deleting their bumpers and lifting the truck. that would have been so bad.

I'd like to make a couple of points to think about:

I'd been addicted to opioids for a couple of years. And I was very happy that I was able to get original non-counterfeit pills on the dark net, from vendors that had thousands of positives reviews. Being a nerd, and successful when it comes to business, risk-free supply had never been an issue. Luckily I bought Bitcoin when they did cost $0.20...

Fighting the dark net has always been a stupid idea. It's the cleanest way for people to get the substances they need, with the lowest amount of risk in every single regard. Lowest risk to get your substance cut with something unhealthy, lowest risk of getting ripped off, lowest risk of getting into criminal circles.

Fighting the dark net means pushing people to street dealers, increasing suffering, violent crime and deaths.

So, why did I get addicted? Depressions, anxiousness, and finally: Being on the autistic spectrum, which now seems absolutely obvious from earliest childhood memories, but my parents never took me to a neurologist to get that diagnosed. I just lived with being "different". Until I could not take it anymore, and tried to help myself with substances.

How did I get off the addiction? Did a search for the best-rated neurologist in the region, made an appointment, got treatment. It took a while, but in the end a combination of substances was found that worked out better than opiates.

But that being said: Those substances are the same that I can get as prescription medication, or as "drugs" on the street. It's just that now I no longer have to spend Bitcoin on it, but get them for free from the health care system. Yay!

Please remind yourself: Nearly everything that is taken and sold as "drugs" on the streets is used to treat some problem, just in a very dangerous way, without proper education, without proper risk management.

Whatever that scary drug that your parents and your school are warning you about to be evil: It's just medication. The poor people die on the street trying to get their supply, the rich guys get a subscription to get it for free.

If your country has a problem with drugs on the street, and with crime due to people trying to get those substances, your country SIMPLY HAS A PROBLEM PROVIDING HEALTH CARE to its citizens!

So please stop demonizing substances, demonizing substance "abuse", demonizing people providing those substances in a clean and safe way via the dark net, and demonizing people who sadly did not have the luck of their health care system helping them.

And go fix your health care systems.
