Used to write machine code in high school just to intimidate the other nerds
The one guy who knew what was going on was *super* impressed
Love to see this!

"Jira is pretend nonsense to force accountability on the most useless staff to justify eventually firing them. There's no point in senior developers using it. It wastes their valuable time in a meaningless chore."

I lack the context to assess whether this is proper or improper, but I would be willing to eat it for you to confirm, presuming this is a service you require.

How India and Pakistan turn out will matter a great deal. I choose to think it will end well, because I don't think any of us will have long left if it doesn't.

Likewise, some say if nuclear proliferation is inevitable, then so too is nuclear war. But I think not.
Maybe the fear of nuclear annihilation will continue to work. The lack of it certainly didn't help Ukraine.

Some said Russia would never invade Ukraine at the start of that conflict. So saying the same of India today almost feels foolish.
But maybe Russia would never have invaded Ukraine if they'd kept their nukes.
Maybe North Korea will never invade the South if they get some.

Nuclearization creates this connection. If Pakistan can pose a credible existential threat to India, India would be foolish to cut off their water, just as my heart would be foolish to take my blood.
Nuclearization should force the two to act in their mutual interests.

Obviously that wouldn't happen. Killing my brain to better sustain my heart would be silly. They are both me. If my brain dies, my heart is impacted.
If India and Pakistan were one country, this conflict would likewise not happen. Cutting off the water would be hurting themselves.

Consider the India issue. India wants to cut off the flow of the Indus river system to Pakistan. This may very well kill Pakistan.
What if my heart did this? What if it decided my brain is another country, and kept all my blood? How would that differ?

I think they make a good case, and after a lengthy chat about the Russian/American detente and the escalating conflict (and fraught history) between India and Pakistan, I think we all agree.
However, the discussion gave me a new perspective on how assured nuclear annihilation forces cooperation.

Solved a race condition in a server initialization script yesterday by adding "until thing-that-keeps-crashing; do sleep 10; done" if that helps 👍

Actually, the army is looking for all of those things. Your implication here is that the army is violating international law by pursuing biological weapons, which is not true.

This was my favorite game as a kid. I loved the fly swatter game.

On behalf of the entire cyber security community, let me be (almost certainly not) the first to console those impacted with a heartfelt "BAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahaha....... idiots."
