  • Let me clarify, I disagree that people should not be informed about jury nullification. Too many people forget that we grant our government power. One way we continue to enforce that power grant is by reserving the right to a trial by a jury of your peers. Too many people take that message to heart that they need to rule in accordance with the law.

  • I don’t think that is a fair argument in this day and age of software development, especially for an operating system. With that level of complexity, I would contend that it is next to impossible to identify potential failure scenarios. I also think this suffers from a rose colored glasses view on history. Perhaps software in the past was as vulnerable, it just never got patched because there wasn’t an easy method to apply updates. Now that there is, it is much better to have a responsive development team to react and fix obscure problems that are difficult or impossible to predict.

  • 165 degrees F is the temperature it takes to instantaneously kill 99.9 percent of salmonella. What also kills salmonella 99.9 percent of the time is cooking at a lower temperature for longer. It’s called pasteurization. The mod that deleted the previous comment about it being misinformation should restore that post. https://www.fsis.usda.gov/sites/default/files/media_file/2021-12/Appendix-A.pdf

  • I said modern programming languages. I do not consider C a modern language. The point still stands about abstraction in modern languages. You don’t need to understand memory allocation to code in modern languages, but the understanding will greatly benefit you.

    I still contend that knowledge of the cpu pipeline is important or else your code will wind up with a bunch of code that is constantly resulting in CPU interrupts. I guess you could say you can code in assembly without knowledge of the cpu architecture, but you won’t be making any code that runs better the output code from other languages.

  • For those not familiar with it, it is an aptitude test that covers a wide range of topics. The results can be informational. Beware if you score well enough to fill a job in the army that is really understaffed, you will never get the recruiters to stop calling.
