  • Guns are expensive. The terrorists are likely taking them when they flee. Also to cover all the tracks. Some equipment was forgotten.

    You need to explain why a hospital needs hand grenates. This is not something you would just store in a locker after taking it away from people.

    Also you left out “journalists who take pictures and don’t help injured people”. It’s still controversial, but it’s essential to understand it correctly.





  • Former managers of Deutsche Bahn did not care to invest into modernization. Managers get money for showing and keeping plus in their Excel sheets. They leave the company with all kinds of bonuses for that and risk no repercussions.

    The next generation of managers are simply fucked. They inherit all the neglected infrastructure and bad processes.

    Additionally politics made it even worse. They told the managers that repairs are not a matter of subsidies. Only new infrastructure is supported. So Deutsche Bahn literally let the tracks and stations rot until they need to be totally renewed.

    This all based on absolute greed. And the best is you can harm Germany for free without any risks and keep all your money. No one here would get the idea to jail the responsible people who let it happen.







  • Of course, it’s better to use some frameworks for logging, especially because these verbose statements are often needed for assertions while unit testing the code. But it’s still equivalent to printf.

    I use debugger sometimes. I actually like to load core dumps to take a look at the stack trace. But I usually don’t really need debugger interactively because when some error appears, I usually already have an idea what happened. And lots of embedded code needs timing in milliseconds, so debuggers won’t help.





  • The only case where I’d use a virus scanner is when I’d host a file server for Windows systems.

    Btw, ClamAV is slow and generally awful. It has many false positives that you get spammed all the time. There are also cases where it doesn’t really find the virus (false negatives). It’s also buggy and it’s not a good sign for security product.

    I’d still recommend Linux, if you want to be safe. Windows has never been designed with security in mind. It’s not even a proper multiuser system.
