Haha, meaningful, informative comments that make it easier to understand the code of course. ;)

But I must o p t i m i z e! ó_ò

Yes, let’s spend two hours on figuring out optimal values of preallocating a vector for your specific use-case. It’s worth the couple of microseconds saved! Kleinvieh macht auch Mist.

That what comments and documentation are for.

I suppose it’s a matter of experience and practise. The more you wotk with it the better you get. As usual with all things one can learn.

I mostly see warnings when compiling source code of other projects. If you get a warning as a dev, it’s your responsibility to deal with it. But also your risk, if you don’t. I made it a habit to fix every warning in my own projects. For prototyping I might ignore them temporarily. Some types of warnings are unavoidable sometimes.

If you want to make yourself not ignore warnings, you can compile with -Werror if using GCC/G++ to make the compiler a pedantic asshole that doesn’t compile until you fix every fucking warning. Not advisable for drafting code, but definitely if you want to ship it.

Yes, this is horrible. Luckily I don’t live in such an inhumane nation.

Good thing I don’t have children and don’t live in such a shitty country.

Maybe. But for a foreseeable lifetime this wouldn’t be my problem and not worth risking my life. Life is way too precious to throw it away so easily by becoming a cog in the war machine.

Yes.

They will run out of business very quick if they allow it!

I wouldn’t be so naive. Even applications advertised as “secure” may be subject to surveillance laws of various nations. Or even just plainly lying for other malicious reasons while keeping it “hidden”.

And any file can be brute forced open given enough processing power or enough tech

Which, depending on the encryption and password, may take more time than the age of the universe. Even with quantum computers, afaik. There are already a bunch of new encryption technologies undergoing standardization that are also not vulnerable to quantum computers.

You could ask if some researcher active in the field would be willing to co-author. This would come with the additional benefit of possibly improving the paper’s quality, besides just publishing it.

I’d rather migrate to another country than to risk my life and the ones I love for a pointless war driven by maniac idiots.

The majority or people are stupid and only seem to realize how dangerous something can become when they are already directly affected.

We “ever” had is a bit far fetched imo.

Yes and no. This was investigated and the numbers do agree with respect to the previous two governments per four years each.

From Bertelsmann Stiftung (German) translated via DeepL:

With a total of 453 promises, the 2021 coalition agreement contains around 50 percent more concrete projects than the 2018 coalition agreement and almost two and a half times as many as the 2013 coalition agreement. However, in its three years in government, the traffic light coalition has only implemented just over half of these (52 percent) with 236 projects - 45 percent have been fully implemented and 7 percent partially implemented. 98 projects (22%) were still in the process of being implemented when the traffic light came to an end. Implementation had not even begun on a further 118 projects (26%).

The traffic light system has therefore failed to meet the high standards it set itself. After the two previous governments each implemented almost 80 percent of their promises, the traffic light balance sheet is much worse, with just over half of the promises implemented. Nevertheless, in absolute figures it has even implemented slightly more projects (+7) than its predecessor government and significantly more (+88) than its predecessor government.

In a statement to the outlet, Francis Dutrow, the Adams county coroner, F confirmed that as of Tuesday afternoon, Rivera’s cause of death remains undetermined pending an autopsy.

The coroner’s office further added that Rivera’s death was not suspicious and that he was found alone in his hotel room, the Evening Sun reports.

Febrempril, sounds like a Tolkien character.

Stop using Google trash. Google is evil.

Fair point. But still pretty bad. Literally two days after the warranty expired my Seagate drive was broken. This was my first and only Seagate drive. Never again.

Meanwhile my old Western Digital drive is still kicking way beyond it’s warranty. Almost 10 years now.

Life has no inherent meaning. It doesn’t need one. That doesn’t make it pointless either. These judgments are human constructs, not qualities of life itself.

But if someone needs a meaning in life:
The meaning of life is to give your life meaning.

Find it yourself. What feels important to you? What makes you unhappy? What makes you happy?

I tend to be on the empathetic side. I feel a lot of pain and desperation about the state of the world, and the way we humans treat one another so cruelly. That’s why I am trying to find my own way to contribute, so that life, for us and those who follow, becomes permanently better.
