That old code of mine is unintelligible rubbish. Thankfully I'm a much better programmer now, so this new code will be a monument of pure, self-evident brilliance.
I'm legitimately surprised whenever I try to rewrite something I've done previously, and fall short of my past efforts. There have been cases where I thought source code went missing, so I reprogrammed something, and eventually rediscovered the original source code and found it to be far superior.
What, is solving technical problems actually making me more stupid?
Oh my gosh, yes! JavaScript is HORRIBLE. I can't tell you how many times I've seen competent developers fired and replaced with new-fangled JavaScript developers who could code a dynamic website in one day. Websites *aren't meant* to be coded in one day! They should be thoughtfully meditated upon, as some sort of holy semantic grail, fueled by the document-driven knowledge net powered by pure Tim-Berners-Lee thought magic.
And don't even get me started on the lack of typing. Typing! How can you program something with a guaranteed, mathematically-proven execution model without strong types? I mean, the last time NASA tried to use JavaScript to send a rocket to the moon, it ended up flying directly into the sun! Dynamic typing should be outlawed!
And is JavaScript procedural, functional, or object-oriented? We ALL know that object-oriented is absolutely the worst idea to come out of computer science in a long time. EVERYTHING should be purely functional! How can you have mathematically proofs that certify the correctness of your programming, if you have things like event handling built in? It's outrageous!
In fact, JavaScript is SO dangerous that we should outlaw web browsers too! The Internet should really just be a network of connected PDF files!
I don't know if this is the joke or not, but in your sig you say: const int one = 65536; That is in fact wrong. In integer rollover: 65535 +1 = 0 So I'm not sure what you are getting at. If there is a joke there other than integer rollover then I don't get it.
It's probably an example of the infamous programmer "off-by-one" error. The source code he quoted actually exists in a project.
Here's a hint: Google "Trump Constitution". There's only about 80 million search results to choose from, but the first 200 or so should give you an idea.
Prototypes should be designed based on the goals they're supposed to achieve: performance and functionality that approaches the final manufactured unit, but with the flexibility to easily troubleshoot, modify, and reproduce the prototype without requiring several lengthy and expensive manufacturing cycles.
Believe me, once the finalized design undergoes its first manufacturing cycle, there will be several kinks that need to be debugged and resolved. It's really best to not conjoin those manufacturing issues with other fundamental usability issues that may arise earlier during product development cycles.
I bet the layer of product managers at Atlassian became top-heavy, with number of managers outpacing the number of sub-par software products they release (like JIRA.) So, the natural next step in the evolution of the company is to buy a non-sub-par software product company, and let the product managers have their way with turning the purchased software products into sub-par products. That way, every product manager gets a fair share of practice at screwing up perfectly fine software that probably doesn't really need to be modified in the ways they are intending.
Plot twist: Blackberry renames itself to "Research in Motion", becomes a leading seller of autonomous cars to business executives everywhere.
Furthermore, business executives absolutely rave over the hardware-based steering wheel and pedals included in RIM's autonomous cars. "Real business executives need hardware steering on their cars," claims RIM CEO of the week. "Virtual steering interfaces, like those offered by Apple, just don't cut it in the business world."
Jony Ive appears on screen, against a stark white background. "The design of our new MacBook Pro fuses form and function into a new degree of usability and intuitiveness. Once you pick it up and start using it, all of the cares of the world simply fade away behind the brilliant illumination of our Super Retina display. It's a design that is at once both futuristic, and timeless. But not TOOOOO timeless - our world class engineering teams will only support this miraculous marvel of engineering for the next five years, so get yours while you can."
Duh. Linode is one of the few hosting services that "helpfully" assigns systematic aliases (such as "linode1234.members.linode.com") to all virtual machines, basically providing a host lookup for hackers to easily target Linode hosts.
To put it simply, suppose I wrote a story, and left the ending blank. I published it saying, "you can write your own ending, and freely redistribute the entire work, my writing AND yours, but ONLY if you ALSO allow people the same freedom I allowed you." That is, you can't take MY work, write your own ending, publish the WHOLE THING, and tell people, "No portion of this work may be reproduced or distributed by any means..."
You are obviously forgetting that "No portion of this work may be reproduced" can only possibly apply to the scope of work which is not already freely available as part of another free work. In your example, only the ending could possibly be under the scope of restriction, since everything prior to the ending is already made freely available under the original free story. I see nothing wrong with that philosophy whatsoever. There is nothing that anyone can do to prevent the original free story from being freely available, no matter what modifications or licenses you choose to apply to your own derivation.
Wouldn't it be great if people knew what the fuck they were talking about or weren't allowed to talk?

Samsung actually makes a profit of around 100 billions per year.
What are you smoking, and where can I get some?
Samsung had a 2016 operating profit of $26 billion USD. If you don't believe me, visit Samsung's newsroom website.

I've seen far more problems caused by a lack of DevOps than I've seen from DevOps implemented well or even moderately passable.
Imagine the people who write buggy Javascript writing C++.
I'm pretty sure that a person who writes buggy JavaScript couldn't even write a C++ program that compiles.
I remember this back when Microsoft called it activex.
Then you must remember incorrectly, because WebAssembly is literally nothing like ActiveX.
JavaScript is an absolutely terrible language

All these words "bullying", "fake news", etc. are code words involved in liberal virtue signalling.
Oh Golly Gosh, here they come with their code words to take away our liberties.
I wouldn't know.
Thanks for proving my point.
Voting for Trump because you wanted "good government" is like hitting yourself in the balls with a hammer to take your mind of your headache.
Actually, for most people, voting for Trump is like hitting *other people* in the balls with a hammer to take your mind off your headache.

I didn't vote for Trump, but so far, I have no complaints.
Ignorance is bliss, is it not?
Which violation of the constitution?
Here's a hint: Google "Trump Constitution". There's only about 80 million search results to choose from, but the first 200 or so should give you an idea.
Do you understand now why Trump won the election?
Yes, because people are stupid.

If stuff comes from China, you can't just say it's "Made in US".
Not yet, but give Trump a few days.

Fakebook or Twotter
It's Farcebook and Twitster, get it right.

It's a sad indictment of American intelligence that we have citizens who actually believe the government wants to be paid in iTunes gift cards.

It boggles the mind.
Now that I think of it, I am reminded of another OS that was relegated "maybe someday".

Wouldn't it though?
Thank you for stating this so eloquently.
