Fun fact: authentication is most often done plaintext these days. That is, you tell server "psst, my password is correct horse battery staple". If server is compromised, getting your plaintext password is trivial.

FWIW I've been a few times to Turkey (Istanbul, Konya, Trabzon, Alanya) and didn't notice those signs at all.

I have never seen such signs anywhere, and I have traveled a fair bit of Europe.

"entirely an internal family and household matter to me which you'd think was none of the governments business" - whose picture is printed on bills and stamped on coins? Deceased person or some ancient/current president/king/emperor? If the latter, it's government business.

@DraifKroneg wrong, it's possible to show tha there is or there's no correlation between legalized prostitution and trafficking - and you failed to show evidence supporting either option. While you are right about "proving the absence of proof" in strictly mathematical sense, it's not really relevant, as you can't "prove" anything in social sciences like you would prove eg. that set of prime numbers is infinite.

BTW, working on Sunday is regulated in Poland.

Nov 29, 2017 01:57
This law can be seen from two points of view: (1) forbidding working on Sundays and/or (2) forbidding shopping on Sundays. I think it's more about (2) than (1). For the record, I live in Poland but do not support ruling party.

"Without a precedent, there is no answer about legality" - I don't think law in France is based on precedents. Precedents are typical in common law, whereas most Europe (sans Britain) follows civil law.

Those developers might be as well just demotivated. They seem to be assigned to maintaining a rather mundane business application after having spent 30 years in game development.

...Later, when new requirements come and you have to change code, you discover that because of missing tests, instead of spending X time you have to spend X+Y time. Y is the Technical Debt.
el.pescado
Sep 22, 2017 08:50
I understand Technical Debt a bit different. When you plan to write code and unit tests, and later decide not to write unit tests, it may seem that you get free lunch - by not writing tests, you have more time to write code, and in the end you think you get the same result anyway - you ship code, and you wouldn't ship unit tests anyway. But there ain't no free lunch - you've taken a loan instead. That's Technical Debt. And, as every debt, it mounts over time and has to be eventually paid back.

@Magisch it might be a bug as well. Every software has bugs. And as far as I understand, only OP has access to their software right now. I don't think it's that simple to prove bad intentions.

@MasonWheeler if git is overkill for everything but Linux, what about bazillion projects on github? I think that significant share of open source projects switching from svn-based hosting sites (SourceForge, Google code et al) to GitHub says something.

@rath: that can be said about pretty much everything including going to jail. No one's going to agree that going to jail is beneficial for career though. The same way, not being associated with creepy business is always better than being associated with creepy business. That might not be fair, but that's how world works.

Short-term visits abroad are sizable portion of economy in areas near eastern borders of Poland. People cross border, buy cheap cigarettes, alcohol and gasoline "for their own use", then immediately return to Poland. Rinse and repeat, it's so common that "border ant" (mrówka graniczna) term gas been coined.

Also, please note that in some jurisdictions, when you are on company time, company is responsible for your safety. So when you leave your office, some accident happens to you, company may be held accountable for it, even though they didn't authorize your actions.

By the way, when using C "flavor" of Lua in C++ code, throwing exceptions through language boundary is performed by longjmp which may leak resources, as no stack unwinding is performed. This illustrates pitfalls of "C as C++ subset" thinking.

@immibis that means that the same code can be both optimal as C source and suboptimal as C++ source, so both languages are different enough to be treated as separate entities.
