Retribution is one of justifications for punishment: retribution; incapacitation; deterrence; rehabilitation and reparation. Retribution is part of the justice.

Yes. That's the beauty of jury trials. Both side (defense and prosecutor) has to agree who will determine guilty/non-guilty. If it was judge, he is beholden to power structures and pressure. Johnny Depp and Rittenhouse also got a

People tried and kind-of succeeded. It's being eroded, but it still mostly works. US generally doesn't persecute it's citizens for reporting. See Pentagon papers. Assange is not US citizen. Guantanamo bay detainees weren&#x27

I think the reason why first two examples can say that they are safe is that in case of failure, people die. And thus there was a regulation introduced. People generally care when they can die. In case of software, rather rarely people die

Users enter text. That's how it always has been, because they use keyboard. If format is set to General, Excel tries to make the best guess what is inputted and convert it to that value, so things like SUM work. That is very sensible b

Because it's garbage. I mean it. Try enter some text to search autofilter 100k rows on LO and Excel. In Excel, it's instant, in LO, I have to go make a coffee. LO 10 seconds, while being frozen (command is likely sync). Excel 2 se

The important part of the tweet is: > Also, expect an announcement from AMD, it's not everything we asked for, but it's a start. That means AMD will actually release something. That's huge. I don't get his excitement

Jailbreaking is not the problem. The problem is reverse engineering a large firmware that operates on HW they have no docs for and fixing the firmware (ie. doing it better that original manufacturer that has access to everything). The job o

That's not the point. I am not opposed to issues per se. The problem is dealing with the amount, it's exhausting. It's just too easy to make issue or comment on GitHub because of network effect. This sums it up pretty well:

I am considering moving away because of network effect. The more popular repo is, the more work is there (issues, PRs...). It's not scalable. Using another platform/self-host would introduce a friction.

i am pretty sure they would just clone stuff from BitBucket or SF if they didn't have it on their own platform.

Airbus wisely decided to forgo AF1 sham of a competition. The experience of mrtt a330 it bid for tanker replacement was enough. It of course went to Being KC-46.

Their defense and space contracts are not going well. KC-46 tanker replacement was a fixed-price contract and Boeing lost $7 billion on that. Starliner is a similar story, $1.5 billion down the hole. EDIT: T-7A Red Hawk trainer: $1 billion

Result is fast parsing with no error checking. If the input wasn't in expected format (e.g. different decimal separator), the result would be incorrect. Fun ss an exercise, but hard to understand, maintain.

That's useless. Only courts can help. NYTimes is suing OpenAI because it siphoned paid articles and reproduced in verbatim. That's basically the same thing it does to open source code, so if NYTimes wins, there might be some hope.

These are top companies, not top software companies (even if we include Spotify). So it's really SAP.

EU has to tech scene, so it doesn't want a potentially successful project to be transferred to US. What is the most biggest EU software company? SAP?

I doubt devs actually say that they can do testing themselves. It sounds like something manager says. The reason is what you wrote later: it's not fun and they don't do it properly (e.g. full test case instead of testing just cha
