That’s cool if people can agree on what maintainability is, which changes improve it and which changes hurt it.

You can get two people arguing for the exact opposite thing, while both of them use maintainability as an argument.

Is this a tax that domestic companies already had to pay, but foreign companies were exempt from? If so, then I wonder what took them so long.

So why don’t you at least try to run the numbers. Takes like 2 minutes. Total output, output per car, number of cars - it’s not rocket science.

The vibe reminds me of https://youtu.be/Jml7NVYm8cs

Kind of like every other job.

It’s not nitpicking, stuff like this is far more impactful than choosing between 5 lines vs 10 lines long methods, or whether the hasExtraCommissions “if” belongs inside or outside of calculateExtraCommissions. This kind of thing should immediately jump out at you as a red flag when you’re reading code, it’s not something to handwave away as a detail.

Why is it a void method? This only tells me that some state is mutated somewhere, but the effect is neither visible nor documented.

I would expect a function called “calculate” to just return a number and not have any side effects.

Self host with backups set up?

C is one of the few languages where using goto makes sense as a poor man’s local error/cleanup handler.

Trains are expensive to run if you don’t have enough passengers (like in small villages).

Peace treaty signed, then Russia invades 2 years later anyway and takes over everything?

At least Android also proactively asks them whether to disable notifications for an app if they always swipe them away, or if they haven’t used the app in a long time.

You have to go where the people are.

The default now is that apps have to first request notification permissions, on both iOS and Android.

I don’t see the US restricting AI development. No matter what is morally right or wrong, this is strategically important, and they won’t kneecap themselves in the global competition.

How did you measure this?

But how is Signal going to make enough money to support a massive user base?

Also, the article says

Cathcart responded that WhatApp will not have ads within the inbox or in the “messaging experience.”

So it seems they’re just going to be added to the extra features that most people don’t care about. Of course they could always change their mind, but that seems like a suicide move.

Would that actually help?

Like, if you look at a list of recent vulnerabilities and breaches, what skills would have prevented those from happening?

That’s how they get you to click it. Leaving out the part you want to know is the oldest trick in the clickbait book.
