Let's look at what Kimmel actually said.

As you can see, Kimmel did not claim the alleged murderer was part of MAGA. Rather, he said MAGA people were going out of their way to say that he was not part of MAGA. Which may in fact turn out to be true. We don't know for sure yet.

I think you need to examine which news outlets you consult. Here, these resources may help:

FTFY.

I currently work hybrid. It reduces my effective pay by around 10%, which is a hell of a cut. It gains me nothing, since all meetings - even when we're all in the same room - are via teams, because company policy.

I see no added value from visiting the office.

Ish.

I would not trust C++ for safety-critical work as MISRA can only limit features, it can't add support for contracts.

There have been other dialects of C++ - Aspect-Oriented C++ and Feature-Oriented C++ being the two that I monitored closely. You can't really do either by using subsetting, regardless of mechanism.

IMHO, it might be easier to reverse the problem. Instead of having specific subsets for specific tasks, where you drill down to the subset you want, have specific subsets for specific mechanisms where you build up to the feature set you need.

Oh, absolutely. These days, I spend so much time checking the output from computers, it would normally have been quicker to do searches by hand. This is... not useful.

I can fully understand that.

Yes, simple. And irrelevant. Here is what's relevant: software that doesn't change remains vulnerable forever. Because nobody is fixing any exploits that are discovered.

Wishful thinking will not protect you. Running an actively-maintained system is a better option.

To follow your logic, updates are bad because they can introduce new vulnerabilities. Never mind that the main purpose of the updates is to fix the old vulnerabilities.

Then, why not just release a software product, and not provide updates at all?

You can't make a virtue out of a "static, unchanging code base" that contains vulnerabilities, whether they are discovered or not.

Head in the sand much? You completely miss the point: it doesn't get better either. Ever. That's what happens when an OS no longer has support.

And arguably, it does get worse over time, as vulnerabilities are discovered and exploited, but not fixed.

You can manage when updates happen. Even pause them. I'm running Windows 11 right now on one of my PCs, and have paused updates until the large-file-on-SSD bug is fixed definitively.

I suppose continuing to use Windows 10 is another option, but I'm not sure it's viable -- in the sense of the OS being secure when MS drops support. Maybe it will still be secure the day after, the week after, even the month after ... but eventually it won't, and no fixes for vulnerabilities will be forthcoming.

If this person doesn't want to stop using that computer, then yes, that's a viable option.

You're acting like such computers are "suitable" for most users. I reckon they aren't.

Pfft. You said Democrats "sure don't" care about felony convictions when it comes to voting, implying Republicans do. Martin Blank then pointed out that virtually all Republican states allow felons to vote, with restrictions in some cases. And your response is "Yes, exactly"??

It's pathetic to flex like that when you have been pwned.

Nobody is saying a felon can't be allowed to be president. This discussion is not about whether being a felon disqualifies you from being president. It doesn't. The issue is whether it matters -- as in whether someone should avoid voting for a candidate who is a felon. In 2024, Republicans voted for Trump despite his felony conviction, thus demonstrating that, for them, it didn't matter.

Now, show me the list of Democrats who ran for president after a felony conviction and were elected.

Not just Democrats. Convicted felons can vote in almost every state (including Republican ones) with some conditions.

Well, as a matter of fact, a convicted felon can become president, and the current occupant of the White House is an example.

There are various disqualifications for someone to be president. A felony conviction is not one of them.
