And the few people left with the ability to clean up the mess will make bank.

Anyway, back then it wasn’t considered the job of the programming language to hold the hand of the aspiring developer as it is common today.

But that’s exactly what it’s doing by trying to figure out what the developer meant. ‘“11” + 1’, should cause the compiler to tell the developer to to fuck themselves.

It’s actually quite rare for cats to kill birds, it’s a skill very few cats have. None of our cats has ever brought back a dead bird, while they have gone on an absolute killing spree among the local mouse population.

The birds around our house (mainly jackdaws, which are wicked smart) like to taunt the cats though.

The lack of braces in python code makes it quite difficult to read for someone who’s used to languages that use braces.

A $1 million dinner? Does that involve buying the restaurant?

No - Buddy. It is secured for this one specific device that I have biometric authentication for. What about my computer? What about my other computer that isn’t on the same operating system?

Then use a Yubikey.

Is this also not a good reason to not set up auto pay in the case of data breaches?

No.

Sure it may not be connected to your lemmy account, but does no other personal info about you link to that data?

That personal data is already in their system whether or not I use autopay. I’m pretty sure my mortgage provider has my name and address on file. So does the energy company, my internet provider, etc.

Also, not doing automatic payments doesn’t even prevent them from having my bank account number. If I manually transfer the money they can see the source account number.

I won’t share it because it could be used to link my Lemmy account to my real life identity, not because you could use it to access my account.

If it was such a secret and sensitive number, why does every company blast it all over the place? Pretty much every company will have their bank account number in their letterhead and on the ‘contact information’ page of their website.

Here is a list of all bank account numbers used by the Dutch tax service (the Dutch equivalent of the IRS). Should be plenty of money in those accounts.

NewsflashL: the world does not revolve around the US.

Maybe that’s true if you live in a country with an archaic banking system. Here in Europe, you can do nothing with just my IBAN (International Bank Account Number) other than send me money. Anything else requires multi-step verification.

So? It’s not like they are a secret. What are any potential hackers going to to with my bank account numbers? Send me money?

They aren’t allowed to just do that. Being allowed to directly withdraw money from customers accounts who authorized it is a privilege, one that banks can withdraw if they find a company abuses it.

Dafuq. Glad that’s not a thing here.

Why would you not want automatic payment?

Windows doesn’t run Xcode. macOS does run Office.

There’s also some stupid UX choices that show they simply don’t give a fuck. On the Steam Deck when you want to update something and you don’t have enough space it simply says “not enough free space”. What use is that to me? Tell me how much you need!

Why even bother with things like strings for a salt? I would expect it to just take a byte array. Just create some random bytes and provide that.

The way it works here (the Netherlands) the monthly cost for the connection to the grid depends on the maximum current and number of phases.

Some examples: a 1 phase 1A connection costs €11,12 per month, 3x 25A costs €168,99 , 3x 80A is €408,94 (there are other capacities available with different rates).

To me this seems like a fair way of doing it, someone who draws more power (or higher peak power) needs a beefier hookup and that requires beefier and more expensive equipment and cables.

they wanna share a codebase between web, desktop and possibly mobile.

That way you get an app that’s crap on every platform.
