All these things might need some flavor of escrow-with-indie-verification. For example, does the published source actually compile other what's on the device? And some flavors of escrow (like your #3) need a bankroll or some sort of insurance.

You and I must be working in different areas.

For any kind of general Python/C++ work, its a _massive_ pain.

The integrated debugger rarely works, and its a 30 minute recompile to figure that out. The documentation for actually being efficient in build/run/test is basically "ask the old guy in the corner". You'd best hope they know and are willing to share.

The code search is great! The downside is that nobody bothers to document stuff, so thats all you've got. (comments/docstrings are for weaklings apparently)

You want to use a common third party library? You'd best hope its already ingested, otherwise you're going to be spending the next few days trying to get that into the codebase. (yes there are auto tools, no they don't always work.) Also, you're now on the hook to do security upgrades.
Tip life is inevitably worse with lead-free solder. Using a brass wool cleaner rather than a wet sponge will help prolong tip life, as will the regular use of a suitable tinning/cleaning paste (e.g. Hakko FS-100 or JBC TT-A). Keep the tip wetted with solder as much as possible - a completely "clean" tip will oxidise much faster than one with a protective layer of solder.

The correct tip temperature for any hand soldering operation is the lowest temperature that will allow the joint to be completed in two to five seconds. In practice, that depends on a host of variables - the composition of the solder alloy, the properties and calibration of your iron, the thermal mass of the joint etc. A usual rule of thumb is the melting point of the solder plus 150°C, but your mileage will vary.
This is pretty much the conclusion we also end up at, data race issues aren't our main issue right now, although zero would be a nice to have. Everytime I've tried out Swift 6 language mode I also feel like I'm sometimes appeasing or tricking the compiler rather than thinking about actual problems.

It is not really just about Trump. It is quite obvious at least since Obama that US strategic interests are reorienting towards Southeast Asia, which is understandable as half of humanity lives there.

And even with a friendly administration, it can feasibly happen that there will be more crises unfolding at the same time than the US is capable of efficiently addressing. (Say, Ukraine and Israel and Taiwan.)

I wonder how much of a choice the other countries have. Being a European and observing European political patterns, I am very sure that Finland, Sweden, Denmark and most of the former Soviet satellites will continue to support Ukraine because they know what is at stake for them. The UK may as well, given that the dislike between England and Russia goes a long way back.

But there are influential people in Germany (and I am not talking about the AfD here, but about the industrial lobby) constantly pushing in the back rooms for reconciliation with Russia at any cost, because high energy costs have made a mess of the German economy, and I can see something like a repeat of the Munich betrayal of 1938 in the future. At this phase of the war, Putin would be open to such an agreement with Germany. Not even his wildest plans foresee a re-subjugation of the former GDR, so Germany risks "nothing" (well, a lot of goodwill east of the Oder, but that may be an acceptable tradeoff for the businesspeople).

And the more distant countries such as Spain or the Netherlands or Belgium aren't really that much interested in Eastern European affairs, all the verbal proclamations notwithstanding. Although NL has some unsettled business against Russia with regards to that shot down airliner.

This is full of distortions and omissions.

Firstly, an "earth centred" cosmology did not assume all things were made for man. It held the earth was a small part of the solar system, which in turn was surrounded by far larger (infinite?) heavens.

It is also worth thinking about what Medieval people place at the very centre of the earth, and therefore the exact centre of the universe.

> democracy has been the undoing of my home country ... given us nothing but misery

From what I see around the world for democracy to work it needs a certain degree of social cohesion, which some countries lack. The prevalence of some characteristics (ex: fanaticism, tribalism, corruption) are incompatible with democracy, and will ruin shortly attempts to have "working democracies".

Some western countries (not all, guess is obvious who :-p) tended to think simplistically that if the system works for them it will work for everybody so they try to "impose it".

What I have to admit now is that while this does not seem to always work, I don't consider "others" as having a much better alternative either.
You should also consider the value of being in total control of your infra. I value that immensely.

> Reducing tobacco usage makes more room for nicotine OTC and vaping to replace it. Among other stimulants.

And? Nicotine itself is not particularly dangerous and might be even neuroprotective if consumed in moderation. Vaping as a consumption method might be problematic of course, but I don’t think there is any research showing it to be even as remotely as harmful?
If you truly believe that people who do not follow the laws of your religion will go to eternal hell, it does make a lot of sense, and really is completely morally sound, to push others into following the laws using any means necessary.

I'm not religious myself. But in my country, if someone is actively suicidal (say they are standing on top of a building, planning to jump) they are (forcefully) stopped. I think that's a good thing. Now, of I was religious, I would believe that sinning (and therefore going to hell) would be way way way worse to do to oneself, even when compared to suicide. So just like I agree with forcefully preventing someone from following their will to commit suicide, I would probably agree with forcefully preventing people from sinning.

If you are religious (and believe that sinning = hell), these laws make a lot of sense. Perhaps they should be even harsher.

I wouldn't tell my boss or my colleagues the job I do is useless for hopefully obvious reasons, but when I really think about it in the grand scheme of things it really is a Bullshit Job. Basically any SaaS is (with some exceptions of course) just a collection of Bullshit Jobs.

But there's also nothing really wrong with that. We live in the society we live in, which basically necessitates the existence of many Bullshit Jobs in order for things to keep working as they do. I'd even argue basically anything that isn't to do with Healthcare, Education or similar things along those lines count as bullshit jobs really.

And I find it bizarre that someone would kowtow to corporations purposefully exploiting them, but I’m not going to pretend to know where those people live and accuse them of tribalism.

I’m not sure you understand what an example is. They are made so we can find a common ground on a subject and discuss the merits of an idea, not to change the subject. They are often employed when agreement is hard to reach on some specific matter and are meant to bring a more general concept into light so both parties can understand where the root of the disagreement comes from.

> It's been common, i.e. the norm, since the laws came into effect.

You are wildly misinformed. If they had been the norm, there wouldn’t have been so many cases of complaints and organisations created specifically to combat those.

But I don’t think continuing to converse with you is a good use of anyone’s time. There’s no point in discussing when the other party is already locked in a predetermined belief that whoever disagrees with them is doing so out of tribalism.

You're missing the point. You were alleging businesses are using dark patterns while being in compliance with the law. I'm asking what a light pattern would be for collecting as much data as possible which is an explicitly legal activity as long as the regulations are followed.

You answered not engaging in that activity at all, which is not an answer.

Are you sure that it's the democracy which is the cause of your country's trouble?

If we consider the counterfactual scenario where your country was not democratic, instead ruled either by some autocrat, theocracy, military junta or something similar, how would that go? While you can find examples of dysfunctional democracies, it still appears to have a better success rate than non-democratic systems.

Nah. It's a pretty common behavior or 'pattern' that some people who feel strongly about a position will reply to other child comments by a person they are debating with.
