Jetbrains products also have a fallback license after a year, so you retain perpetual acces to an old version* and I don’t think there is much change in the space of git UIs.

* iirc the version that you had one year before your payment lapsed, it applies to discounted versions as well

Short answer:
It gave us compiler explorer, now that it has served its purpose we should stop doing it.

Long answer:

Why does hft even exist?

Hft can exist because most stock markets react to requests as fast as possible and have no noticable fees for certain use cases. This means algorithms that do simple trades like if goggle goes up, buy other tech companies or buy any stock that goes up in europe on the NY market can make small profits if they are faster than everyone else.

Does it have any value?

There is one exchange that imposes a delay on every request, effectively inhibiting hft, and its opening actually improved market conditions on all exchanges. This implies it has negative value.
They also spend millions on hardware, tools and developers to skim small sums of many transaction on the stock market. They are effectively a (very inefficient) tax on the stock market that goes to improving C++ compilers and funding hardware startups.

The can’t find the difference meme would fit better.

I agree with the sentiment but …

then nothing can be bricked because on paper you can desolder the rom chip and put another one in place.

Companies already put serial numbers in components and configure them so only specific ones work together, requiring OEM tools to pair them.
It’s imaginable that someone makes something similar with e-fuzes instead.

spy satellites > spys > conflicts caused by information mismatch

I looked at the diff, it’s around 100 lines of new code and a few hundred lines of comments and tests.
I couldn’t have written it, but there are many smarter people that fixed it after they learned of the problem.

What also made it easier to fix is that they (sensibly) chose to error on certain strings that can’t be escaped safely.

If only there was another way. Like trucks.
But Israel wouldn’t want an efficient way to feed Palestinians, it gets in the way of them dieing

Americans will never understand tax brackets.

I found a similar one (3.7V 100mAh) for 4.80€ (including taxes) in a small components shop in Berlin.

Sound like you just have a smaller smartphone on your wrist. My smartwatch has a black and white (not grayscale) display as well as 5 physical buttons and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

While I use my phone for music I can certainly see some advantages:
physical buttons
smaller and lighter
less distraction than a phone
cheaper to replace if stolen or broken

Their economy can tell us something about the demand for infinite growth in a finite world, which is inherent in modern capitalism.

I think the russia comment is about their law against disparaging the armed forces.

They are currently in training to get fighter jets from Denmark, there us no such excuse for the German cruise missile system Taurus they specifically asked for.

That is the worst geoengeniering idea. https://whatif.xkcd.com/162/

As long as your camera has a physical shutter button, the bear can take the selfie and you can focus on stepping away.

Messing around with rust is certainly worth it, as it can change the way you think in a way that improves code in whatever language you write.

both include some otherworldly figure either observing or mandating how we live our lives

There is a big difference between observing and mandating. Most interpretations of simulation theory don’t even talk about humans being observed.

Love the subtle ways the landing page is broken on mobile.

Recursion is often unintuitive for beginners, to understand this code we should simply it a bit

int main(void)
{
    int height = get_int("Height: ");

    draw(height);
}

void draw(int n)
{
    if (n <= 0)
    {
        return;
    }

    draw(n - 1);
    printf("%d",  n);
    
    printf("\n");
}

Inputting 3 should now give us a output like

1
2
3 

Try to understand that case first and than muddle it up with the loop.

If you examine it in a debugger look at the Stack trace. If you use gdb its bt in a visual debugger it’s probably the list of function names next to the variables
