I disagree, incompetance is rampant. I worked for a healthcare company who kept it's data at a Dell security center. One of their people ran a SQL script that deleted millions of billing records. They informed us later that they could not recover the data because every 24 hours they were writing over the one backup they kept. We had missed the window by a few hours.
Overturning an election is not effectively overthrowing the government, and it's certainly not sedition.
I also think most people who entered the Capitol building did so because they were just following the people in front of them; not conciously entering to voice their oppinions to the Senate and House.
Not from the US, but when the current president of any nation whips up a crowd of fanatic followers at the end of his term to stay in power against the will of the people that is a coup.
What the reasons are for the individual follower is completely and utterly irrelevant, because it is overshadowed by the fact that the current head of the executive tried to overturn the result of an election.
And quite frankly: the only ingredient missing here was support of the military — if he had that the US very likely could have become a dictatorship right now.
If violently installing someone to power who wasn’t legitimately elected isn’t overthrowing the government in your mind, I have to wonder what qualifies.
The entire premise of the rally was “stop the steal”. Clearly they weren’t all extremely coordinated, but to varying degrees, the people who stormed the Capitol did so with the stated goal of overturning the election. That they were inept of that they failed isn’t evidence to the contrary.
I agree. The article came across as a programmer griping about Excel and VBA, while praising his/her favorite tooling as the answer to some programmer-centric greivances.
I don't think what he described is captured at all by the third "tribe." He clearly does it for money and there should be a fourth "tribe" for that category. I agree with you that "tribe" is a poor choice here.
After reading this, it appears to specifically target people that provide a streaming service for copyrighted material protected under title 17 for the purposes of commercial advantage or private financial gain, without permission of the copyright holder. That's not as bad as many commenters are making it out to be.
Many laws have been written appearing to be one thing, while being enforced for another purpose entirely.
Some commenters may be concerned more with potential for abuses justified under law, rather than the specific use case the law appears to have in mind.
My reading is that this law takes something that is already illegal, and adds "but also dont do it on the internet". For example, you cant buy a Blu-ray copy of a movie, then charge people $1 to come watch it in your living room. This law clarifies that charging people to watch an unauthorized internet stream is the same thing.
Semicolons aren't noise; you've read the statement before you even get to them so how can they be noise? Noise would be type info added to languages that didn't have it before, such as TypeScript. Generics can get pretty gnarley too, when you have nested typing info involved.
I've never seen people produce crap code because they don't care; it's always a lack of education, a last minute fix, or it's just declared crap code because it doesn't meet the reader's threshold for maintainable code, which is very subjective.
