Are you saying that the data has no value just because you can’t touch it?

It’s a company that targets kids. Their prices are ludicrous

How does any of this make a difference?

Also for a company targeting kids there sure are a lot of whiny adults in these conversations.

Why is everyone pretending like they have a right to play Nintendo games? Nintendo says they want $X, you say their game isn’t worth $X, so you get something different instead. What’s the problem?

If you’re at a flea market and can’t reach an agreement on the price, do you just throw a tantrum at the vendor and take their stuff anyway?

What’s even more funny is that you’re downvoted into oblivion, while Iheartcheese @lemmy.world gets praise for the same stance.

I guess “Fuck around and find out” doesn’t apply here.

Don’t forget to mention bootlicking in your replies, lemmys.

This!

A few years ago I found a text (probably as image) where somebody ‘tried’ to run a virus on linux. It went something like this:

Wanted to install a virus on Ubuntu, but it was only available as an aur package. Tried converting. Didn’t work … Tried make virus, but didn’t work. Upgraded cmake, tried again, but some libraries were missing.

Tried installing libraries, but they were very outdated and I couldn’t find proper versions.

Checked the source to see what the libs were doing and replaced them.

and so on.

Does someone know what I’m talking about and possibly has the source?

When people get promoted to senior dev, they have lost all will to live. Their code reflects that.

It works well enough to keep the boss man off my back. I’ll go home now.

Only git wasn’t done in 10 days. It was very quickly able to track its own development, but it still took Linus half a year of thinking to be able to make git.

(No, sorry, I can’t find the interview that would validate that claim.)

After all, most delays can directly be traced to the QA department. Wise business decision!

• A bug in the code controlling the Therac-25 radiation therapy machine was directly responsible for at least five patient deaths in the 1980s when it administered excessive quantities of beta radiation.
• Radiation therapy planning software RTP/2 created by Multidata Systems International could incorrectly double the dosage of radiation depending on how the technician entered data into the machine. At least eight patients died, while another 20 received overdoses likely to cause significant health problems (November 2000).
• A Medtronic heart device was found vulnerable to remote attacks (2008-03).

Great attention to detail!

Protip: Add a minor inconvenience to every line, like a trailing space or slightly misaligned indentation. That way the next guy who opens the file will automatically correct it, taking the git blame.

I was afraid you’d say that. That’s stupid.

Do they give a reason for why that’s ‘necessary’?

(Also it should be const userToName = (user) => user.name;)

Thanks for doing what I was too lazy to do.

I refuse to enter any club that would accept me as a member.

even property/field access is extracted out to a function

Java, the most functional programming language there is.

Same story here. I didn’t pay attention and failed basic math. Suggestion: plumber.

Correct answer: Lay off everyone. The new project will be coded solely by AI. 💯 hired.

I guess it’s easier and safer to make a string replace for each function name beforehand than hoping the compression algorithm will figure that out.

Also, as SpaceCowboy points out, comments are completely useless for the final web page. There’s no need to even compress them.
