That’s not really Facebook either.

The general difference is that you lose out on metadata - names, comments and organization that helps the source code in whatever programming language make sense, but which is not needed to actually execute the desired behavior on your CPU. Usually stuff like sensible names for bits of your code - functions/reusable logic, storage locations for “health” or “armor” or “current powerup”, movement states, types of objects etc.

However, most of these are just another kind of number to the computer itself, so a lot of compilation processes strip a lot of this information. You could still reverse engineer it, but you’re missing context (like all those names) from the original code and that makes the work potentially pretty difficult. Bear in mind that reading actual original source code is sometimes cryptic enough, then compare “if player is dead, show game over screen” to if (sdfdfgsdfg == jgdfg) { lkghku(); } because the “decompiler” has to invent some kind of name for everything that’s missing. Now you have to deal with thousands of jfdsghklgs, and figure out what it all means.

Norway chiming in, god jul!

A lot more of a realistic take than this place fixing every issue with Reddit, to be honest.

Thanks bro, very considerate <3

“Fallacy” works. These are also adages, clichés, platitudes and folk wisdom, but neither really means “falsehood” per se. However, many of them just rationalize whatever: the money one is factually incorrect and exemplifies “sour grapes”, silver linings is not a bad idea but also not necessarily true, any number of things will not kill you but make you wish they had, etc.

Context?

Maybe they’re crazy. Maybe someone said “guy who openly opposes human rights says what?”. Maybe they’re evil. Maybe someone paid them. Maybe they have a rare form of speech impediment or verbal tic. Maybe they speak a language in which that’s just “hello” or something. How is anybody supposed to know without any information?

Although if you do, human psychology is likely to make them believe in Even-Flatter-Earth or whatever.

I do. I recently bought a new phone and this was non-negotiable. My headphones are good and my desire to bring Bluetooth and batteries into the equation is a cool zero at most.

This will only apply to some cases, but if everything else fails, a lot of Twitch streamers also upload VODs on youtube. These are mostly unedited streams, but obviously not in real time.

Forgot the algebra using fruit emoji or whatever the fuck.

Bonus points for the stuff where suddenly one of the symbols has changed and it’s “supposedly” 1/2 or 2/3 etc. of a banana now, without that symbol having been defined.

“Oh my god, who cares!”

Battleshits.

Names are words, so “words” refers to both collectively. “Elimination [of waste]” or “voiding” for the second one.

I think you’re running into a bunch of detection that has very little to do with technology.

I can’t believe you would ask them about their car like that, truly way over the line and you must be a terrible person, just because it’s absolutely essential information gives you no right to go prying in their business like this, etc etc etc

(as much as I hate “/s”… /s.)

Well, this is certainly one of the takes of all time.

Sure it will, technically. It’s just a zillionth of anything remotely significant, so don’t worry about it.

A bottle’s worth of “carbonation” is probably offset by a decent fart, let alone the perfectly normal breathing you’re doing on a day to day basis.

The UK should stick to things they know, like tea, comedy shows, fox hunting, and unelected MPs.
