Nice. Always wondered whether there was such a software, but was too lazy to actually search for it.

Die, I guess. On the off chance that I survive the first few days, try to build a civilization.

AFAIK no one has triggered the biggest fines (yet?). Can’t wait for it to happen.

I’m afraid with his business going down, the best he can do is rent the libs.

So, because I can’t solve one problem, I shouldn’t ever try to solve a different one? I like Gandalf as much as the next guy, but their world is very simple - evil is evil, good is good and there’s no place for shades of gray.

In the US where they decided to make the punitive system for-profit?

That’s a very American context where prisons are for-profit companies (wtf USA?), that’s why everything is so expensive. In a normal country death sentence wouldn’t cost nearly as much.

Sure, you can call it that and yeah, it might make some people think more before being in favour of it just because it doesn’t sound as bad.

But I disagree with the first part, plenty deserve to be killed, always had and always will.

In theory death penalty is exactly that - people justly decide that someone harms society too much and they don’t want that person in society.

(again, note that I don’t think it should be implemented in real world because of how easily corruptible people are)

I mean, it’s hard. I’m not really against death penalty on its own, I think there are crimes which deserve exactly that. My issue with death penalty is how easy it is to misuse. So in a theoretical world where some perfect entity with no ability to make mistakes decides who gets it, I’m 100% in favour. In the real world, not so much.

As much as I dislike crypto, this is not a crypto fail story, even though the article paints it like that a few times (or at least the tone implies).

No one should have their finger servered because of other people’s greediness.

These are the occasions I wish death penalty was a thing, especially for those cases where the idiots have been caught in the act - there are better things to do with my tax money than making sure they have a place to live in and some nice good meals to go with it.

Eh, no, maybe read what nicotine does to your body and go beyond the negatives?

Why would people even start doing it if it didn’t do anything for them?

The youngest millennials are currently 30, also past the age when one usually starts working as a lawyer.

You don’t. If it was as simple, no one would smoke. If tobacco didn’t give you something extra, your body wouldn’t crave it.

QML is such an awesome UI language, the only thing (that I know of) that comes close is Jetpack Compose.

The flavour of JavaScript QML uses is very different from regular JavaScript, it’s literally a glue language and any significant non-UI logic should be done in C++.

And Qt C++ is very different to most other C++ framework (or how people usually write pure C++), it feels much more Java-inspired.

Anyway, it really is a great UI toolkit if you want something powerful, cross-platform and efficient.

Perhaps I worded it poorly, but my point was that companies shouldn’t go bankrupt when they make a mistake.

If you keep doing it after you’ve been told, then you’re no longer just making a mistake it’s obviously malicious, but I don’t think then Apple should go bankrupt when they incorrectly implement a new law.

While I personally don’t think it’s accidental, you should be more lenient towards a first offense for any new law (unless you can prove it was intentional, which is incredibly hard).

Qt is my favourite, though it’s not .NET.

Various servers using various software that can communicate with each other.

While true, 568m is a significant cost of doing business. Also remember that a punitive action should not make the company go bankrupt, it should make them rethink.

And if they don’t, the fines will go higher, until they do rethink.

Steam is equally shitty, they just have the advantage of not being publicly traded which means they can create long term strategies and execute them successfully.

Doesn’t mean they’re pro consumer.
