Finland never recovered from the 2008 financial crisis, and covid + the end of trade with russia has damaged the economy badly and made public debt balloon heavily. Right now unemployment is about 10%, the 2nd highest in the EU, and the far-right coalition goverment that won the last election is trying to privatize healthcare and disempower unions.
The education system has been getting worse for about the past 15-20 years due to misguided reform attempts (and of course endless budget cuts)
Finland's birth rate dropped below replacement levels about 50 years ago and has been in freefall for about the last 10 years, and now the population pyramid is starting to be in really bad shape, which means the economic situation is likely just going to get worse and worse.
The retirement savings system is designed like a (partial) ponzi scheme due to aforementioned population dynamics, and participation is mandatory so it is effectively a hidden tax on all workers. Due to old people having the majority of the votes, it's the one thing that is immune from budget cuts, which forces the government to sell publicly owned infrastructure and dismantle public services in a futile effort to compensate.
Well eh, the binary seems to be about 130MB while the ffmpeg source repository is only 80MB (and the version with separate .so files (all part of the project as far as I can see) is even larger)
Volksverthetzung is about specific protected classes, which don't include non-religious ideologies (and l'm not sure if "not american" is a specific enough identity either)
buffer overflows are critical for memory safety since they can cause silent data corruption (bad) and remote code execution (very bad). Compared to those a "clean" unhandled runtime error is far preferable in most cases.
We can avoid expensive branches (gasp) by using some bitwise arithmetic to achieve the so-called "absolute value", an advanced hacker technique I learnt at Blizzard. Also unlike c, c# is not enlightened enough to understand that my code is perfect so it complains about "not all code paths returning a value".
private bool IsEven(int number)
{
number *= 1 - 2*(int)(((uint)number & 2147483648) >> 31);
if (number > 1) return IsEven(number - 2);
if (number == 0) return true;
if (number == 1) return false;
throw new Exception();
}
Up and until the rule applies to so many countries that the sites just make the requirement universal, this will do nothing to stop bots as the bots will all just operate from countries that are not under age restriction laws. Even after that it's likely the bot operators will just use fake IDs and similar, as it's unlikely website operators would setup reliable verification of identity for every single country they want to serve.
these are probably trolls. At one point quora had a "partner program" where people would get paid to post questions, but only if the questions got enough engagement. The question generators realized that coming up with interesting questions was kind of hard, so they just started pouring out ragebait.
If it's too obvious people may realize it's a troll, so the ideal way to do it is phrase it in a vague way that leaves a lot to the imagination (here for example people can easily make the assumption that you're an idiotic and boneheaded parent)
white background with black text is pretty much the default everywhere and I think always has been, so specifying those colors is redundant (and breaks night mode, though I don't think that was a thing back when it was designed)
Yeah, it's in my edit I realized the same thing. I'm thinking it doesn't actually really make sense and the real reason is more "the specific way C does it causes a lot of problems so we're not poking syntax like that with a 10 foot pole" + "it makes writing the parser easier" + maybe a bit of "it makes grepping easier"
