What do you mean? Can't you see all those innovations in the ads and tracking industry?

Every once in a while security researchers would discover sophisticated exploits that would allow malwares to take over your computer via multimedia files, but those are actually rarely exploited in the wild by run off the mill malwares.
Unless you're an important person being targeted by hackers and three letter agencies, your biggest source of threat is running infected programs from untrusted sources, e.g. cracks downloaded from random torrents or warez sites, shady sites serving ads that trick you to run some executables, etc.
I may not agree with the devs political view, but I think their work developing lemmy is excellent and made me subscribe to monthly donation on opencollective. Lemmy is an open source project where the devs have absolutely no say over how the software being used, as evidenced by so many lemmy instances defederating from lemmygrad and lemmy.ml. Their political belief won't affect other instance.
If we fire all developers and allow AIs to program themselves, the AIs are going to commit virtual seppuku after a few days.
Have you tried creating a throwaway account and post a wrong answer to your own question?
the tests are now larger than the thing itself
The purpose of the code is to make the tests pass.
I'm truly torn with this. The first one seems sensible (action -> target) and easier to read and reason about (especially with long names), while the other one looks more organized, naturally sortable and works great with any autocompletion system.
Due to how federation works, downvotes are actually somewhat public because instance owners can query them in lemmy database, though instance owners probably won't tell you if you ask due to privacy reason. If you're interested in something like this, you can run your own instance.
Man, if it were me, I'd probably bit the bullet and bought a new motherboard instead of returning the processor. With my luck, I'll probably run into some issues with the ram sticks and bought some new ones. Heck, maybe I'll run into some issues with the old gpu and buy a new one too! Then the psu would probably need to be upgraded to power the new gpu. The temperature would probably kinda hot so the case must be replaced with new one with better cooling. Heck, now the monitor is too shitty for the hardware and need to be replaced with a new one with hdr and high refresh rate. Then the mouse would suddenly died and need to buy a new one too.
He wouldn't make that statement unless he experienced the horror himself.
Now, if he still does it these days...
Ah, must've been a fortran developer. I swear they have this ability to make the shortest yet the least memorable variable names. E.g. was the variable called APFLWS or APFLWD? Impossible to remember without going back and forth to recheck the definition. Autocomplete won't help you because both variables exist.
Pdf has a mind-bogging array of features, which make it so entrenched in the corporate world with no viable replacements at the moment. Things like forms where users can fill them out and submit (surprisingly a popular feature), cryptographic signing to prevent tampering, DRM, etc. Heck, I think you can even add JavaScript code to a pdf.
