Yeah he basically can go to China and North Korea, which, surprise, are also swimming in trade deals by providing fuel and military supplies

Can you explain? I’m unsure what you mean by this

But even NATO doesn’t like it if some nation goes above and beyond, provoking hostilities from the US means potential unwanted conflict from others, and the nations supplying oil and / or weapons to Russia feel the same way. The world is a big shitty political stage where every time an actor moves people die

I was referring to Clipchamp, not the OS

Because it’s a “free” piece of software so you are the product and therefore they want you to agree that they can harvest and sell your data

Right. Given the option I will always choose to work with a decent programmer who can communicate well and documents their code, over a very strong programmer that doesn’t think they should waste time with documentation

As long as “cleaner than you found it” also includes “better documented.” I’ve worked with people who think that “the code should speak for itself” to the point that they will make biased decisions with no explanation or documentation and then if you ask them about it after their response is “look at the PR for how that decision was made.” I’m not going to git blame and find your PR to find an outcome from an argument between two people that after scrolling just says “sometimes the API returns a JSON string here instead of nested JSON so we have this conditional” when that could be a comment

It’s also really heavily about tribalism

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribalism

Because people like to be part of a specific group and feel like the goals of said group are their goals, regardless of the reality of the thing

No no you don’t understand. Every children’s story is about beating your competition in the market and how regulation doesn’t actually support competition because it’s on you to analyze and prepare for market forces. Also my billion dollar vehicle company is failing because I didn’t properly prepare, I’m gonna need a major government bailout

Well with infinite access to resources the pigs should have been stockpiling and starting to build businesses in the expectation that they would have needed to protect their property and could have hired a bigger, badder wolf at an acceptable market rate to ensure a minimal loss

/s in case that wasn’t clear

Right, I based it on an estimate on the size of the company and how many devs they’ve had. But if a 7MB file doubled their build size and nobody noticed for 5 years, it likely wasn’t code reviewed or committed and rather just added somewhere, It’d be my guess that it’s a pretty small team, and if they’re willing to call anyone at this point anyway as they only have a few devs, and not just remove the file, they’re probably unsure on if it serves any sort of point, which usually would be clear in a commit or PR

You think they’d call up devs who left them just to ask if they happen to know about a random file?

I mean, that’s what op said happened. Literally with the verbiage of “file we found” and not “file you committed”

Ah I could see that. I took it as them not knowing where the file came from at all, so they’re just asking all the devs who would have had access at that point, which is why it was “hey do you know anything about this file?” and not “is there a specific reason you committed this file to the build?”

It sounds like they weren’t using any form of version control, so that’s definitely on them at this point

Well maybe if Billy Batts woulda’ kept his mouth shut he wouldn’t be bleedin’ out in the trunk of the Cadillac

The answer: tech bros dictating that they need more “engagement” e.g. they need to collect more data so they can either sell said data or get acquired. I guarantee you very few mobile developers want to send you a notification of any sort, much less “why haven’t you used the app.”

And I think specifically bars, not clubs. You won’t be able to have a conversation with someone in a club, though if you are stand out attractive, that probably doesn’t matter

What the heck’s this Gatorade. We got Brawndo. It’s got electrolytes

That ring is going to drug and rob me and be gone when I wake up in the morning
