The real world case I remember also included a TODO to return and fix the code later. In a published scientific software. I wonder how many paper were messed up by this buggy software. As I looked at the code due to the amount of bugs I encountered.

It’s been many years from publication, and to the surprise of no one, they did not return to fix it.

// This line does nothing, however removing it causes production to crash. DO NOT REMOVE

I enjoy hiking and bake at home, both maybe cause dust like matter to destroy a very expensive device.

A foldable costs more than my laptop and tablet combined. While being less resilient and less capable.

I’m not going to pay premium for a device that will break if it get exposed to dust.

I will pay premium for durability, fixability, modularity and for gnu/Linux that mobile device that can interface with android apps that society forces me to use.

After the shit they pulled with the Nokia 9 PureView, how can someone bet money on their crap?

Simple text editor. To create failing test by hand, closing in on a bug in the code.

Bioinformatics isn’t used only for medical research or within big companies. Sub-topics like metagenomics, that are helpful in many areas of research, require high level of technical knowledge, that the life science people don’t have.

You can work in bioinformatics, the pay is lower than FAANG, but your code will benefit society.

They are not limiting their foot print to 1/4 acre. They are using bikes, using glass and forge the forest.

It’s like offloading your aluminum production to another country and claiming you are living 100% on renewable.

Current western left wing values is too broad of a term.

From great ideas such as equal rights, that goes into the small details. Phrasing questions in classrooms to males only for examples. With great science behind it to show that it in fact removes success bias for males in maths.

To destructive ideas such as diversity hires.

From great ideas such as financial help to disabled people.

To destructive ideas such as forcing small businesses to be accessable with heavy fines that may break them.

From great ideas such as opposing the Israeli occupation of the West Bank.

To destructive ideas such as supporting Hamas. Which is a big WTF for me.

Communism is also a stinking pile of shit.

This shit is so misleading. Fascism isn’t the only authoritarianism. They too are anti-fascists. But you don’t get free speech.

Nor is it a white only problem, or deadly only to Jewish people.

Eating many coconuts will cause diarrhea.

Agree to terms, climb tree, pick a nut. Change terms by tossing the nut on the head of the wannabe job creator.

Eat the nut with fresh meat on the side. Die from dehydration.

The current Iranian government raised up after a revolution led by Marxists and Islamists. After they dropped the previews government, the Islamists turned on the Marxists. This is why we have pictures of secular society from 50 years ago taken in Iran.

I don’t know, I assume, the Marxists got manipulated again now along with far left.

Russia already managed to organize both pro and anti demonstrations inside the US to get USA citizens to kill each other on other topics.

No reason to think people’s critical thinking was upgraded.

In addition to other comments,read about Ada Lovelace. She was brilliant, she wrote the first program, and done so before we had computers!

Latex it all out

It’s June/July temps in mid April here. Messed the plant life and bird migration around here.

Where did I say they shouldn’t?

My message comes within a context.

Improvements in storage allow for longer transportation. This is but one example.

There are many other improvements, from more efficient water usage to reducing the need for other costly interventions.

Some may be possible to allow richer agriculture in poorer areas, reducing the need for distribution.
