  • Most likely climate change, after that maybe war and past that maybe disease from super bacteria that does not respond to antibiotics or a virus that is very deadly but with a long incubation, basically a deadlier covid, since the world has showed that it is completely unable to get it’s shit together and do basic things like social distance and masks.

    The last one is not as likely in the sense that it’s not likely to kill all of us, just a really big part, but I fully expect to see something like that happening in my lifetime and causing the deaths of hundreds of millions.









  • I would say that it’s more like 4+4=8 but the original could have been (1+1+1+1)+(3+1) or (2+2)+(1+2+1) etc.

    Basically it’s the same thing but if you really want to understand the code and modify it in any meaningful way you have to know how it was intended and not just the results.

    My point being that decompiling does give you something similar to the original. It’s not just a guess that gives you random code with the correct result, but it could be very different from the source code.

    The reason is that the compiler does a lot of things to make it more efficient but that just means that while 1+1+1+1 can be efficiently written as 4, there still is a good reason for 1+1+1+1 from a logical sense. For example, if you’re counting something, it would make sense to say 1+1+1+1. But if you’re looking at a specific value, maybe it makes more sense to just say 4.
