When speaking about Tom Sawyer, it's hard to not have the piece of the same title by Rush playing in your head.

Agreed.

Those are not the "software engineers" but coders, those who like to say that the university degree doesn't add anything in programming.

It's possible it's a deliberate project decision to support very old CPUs. But it could be multi-targetting different CPUs and using SIMD whenever available.

Would a modern tiny MCU survive the space conditions, such as high energy radiation blasting its transistors? I seriously doubt it. The original Apollo computer was so big that nothing could break it.

> The answer was to add as many features to the language as possible.

Because Java is losing market to languages with many features. Which is good. Given history of Java under Oracle supervision, and the availability of Rust, Go and C#, I won't ever touch any JRE-based language.

That's why the world looks more favorably at Rust than C++ now.

Samsung what? Fridge? Air conditioning? Dishwasher? Excavator? A single more word of explanation would make it crystal clear, whereas now I need to wonder whether it is about TV, computer monitor, smartphone or who knows what.

I’ll sit out this drama until pgrust 0.5.

> I take full responsibility for my actions.

I would like this to materialize, but that's just empty words.

> It was not remotely my intention to cause any of the subsequent side effects.

What were your intentions, then?

> my intention was to alert others in a similar position to be aware of the importance/urgency of the updates.

Have you lived under the stone for the past few years with respect to cybersecurity? Yes you have. All of you ignore security as in "it doesn't apply to me", "they won't break into my software because I'm truly the best 10x developer in the world" etc.

> I have learned my lesson.

I certainly doubt that. A person with IQ only a tiny bit bigger than Trump's wouldn't seek public attention so badly to disclose a security hole in a public forum.

When such praise-seeking habits have stopped being embarrassing?

Yeah to me it's the wolf in grandma’s clothing.

I found it funny that people use Chromium-based browsers and pretend they're unique.

If you want freedom, features and manifest v2 then just use and support Firefox.

What exactly are you trying to convey here? That this penalty is not an issue? Would you be willing to pay it from your pocket then? Quad9 is not Cloudflare nor Google. It's a nonprofit, in case you blinked right at the sentence that mentioned this.
