A very relevant recent story: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43692677 , the top comment especially. I'm not American, I'm from the UK, but it's the same in regard to putting value in to people.

From a quick skim of the repo it looks to be injecting phptop_hook.php into any call to a php file with auto_prepend_file in php.ini. phptop_hook.php generates some stats on how long it took the php file to process and stores this via erro

The thing with programming, to do it well, you need to fully understand the problem and then you implement the solution expressing it in code. AI will be used to create code based on a deficit of clear understanding and we will end up with

To me, "Unknown" almost implies the possiblity of a value, whereas I've always thought of NULL as being an absence of a value. edit: an empty string, false, 0 are all values.

The way the JSON filters work would be directly coupled to the JSON fix notation and SQL infix notation so it's directly coupled to SQL and doesn't really require a standard, imho.

He ditched a plane on purpose for youtube likes and you think he paid the price through ridicule - but I'm not making any sense, OK.

My empathy is with the people who have their lives destroyed by reckless idiots pulling these "stupid prank"s for likes.. common sense says society doesn't appreciate this nonsense so deterrent is the only way to deal with it

Only terrorism if his intention was to cause a fire for some pollical influence.

Someone crashing a plane on purpose doesn't amount to terrorism - there would need to be a political motivation as well. Edit: Also the post says up to 20 years .. not sure why you've become fixated on it being simply 20. People

Probably not; if the disks exist they're almost thirty years old, and probably best kept running in some corner of my memory. I came across an old box of 3.5 discs a few years back that I had stored away since the early 90's. I
