Davy jones couldn't step on land, and the dirt in the jar symbolizes land in the same way as the bucket here supposedly counts as land

getting the picture to perfectly replicate the image on the screen without it being noticeable that it's just a picture of a screen would be so difficult it would probably be easier to modify the camera instead

blockchain is a totally useless extra bit glued on there. All the real evidence will be the cryptographic signatures added by the hardware manufacturer (which can be faked, but requires extracting the keys from the "security chip" in the camera which may be very difficult)

all the blockchain does at that point is provide a timestamp of "signed hash of the picture+metadata was uploaded on x date" which can easily be done without blockchain too

You can still be snobby by instead insisting on "fold, scan, iterate"

the czech republic has over 40 thousand police officers and singapore routinely executes drug dealers
So while it may be technically true in that no actual violence was involved in the latest changes of government system, the threat of violence is always there

Apparently it's specifically "Players can avoid sequences of precisely timed inputs ("quick time events") or button mashing"

Anon confused a tap water filter for a camping filter

I love the implication that a "rational actor" would choose death over losing money

When you get to the informing policy stage, much "harder" sciences like pharmacology also get the same treatment of using completely disproven crap to inform drug policy. If you look hard enough, you can almost always find a study that agrees with your wildest biases and a PhD (often even in "good standing") who stands behind it and agrees with you.

That there are 500 papers that find the exact opposite of your conclusion is not much of an issue when you're acting in bad faith and have a friendly media outlet to voice your views

It's a technicality about the pointer type. You can cast the type away which typically doesn't change the actual value (but I'm pretty sure that causes undefined behavior)

For your example, int x = 0xDEADBEEF; signifies the integer -559038737 (at least on x86.)

char *p = (char*)0xDEADBEEF; on the other hand may or may not point to the real memory address 0xDEADBEEF, depending on factors like if the processor is using virtual or real addressing, etc

Lots of em-dash usage

Service goes down after emitting an event but before persisting internal state—causing partial failures that are hard to roll back.
Subscribe to an existing event and start processing—no changes to publishers.
Helps track a request across multiple services—even through async events.
We once had a refund service consume OrderCancelled events—but due to a config typo, it ignored 15% of messages.
Takeaway: fire-and-forget works—until someone forgets to monitor.
Use it when the domain fits—fan-out use cases, audit logs, or workflows where latency isn't critical.

combined with other chatgpt-isms like the heavy reliance on lists, yeah safe to say it's mostly AI generated

what kind of psychopath even came up with int a[ROWS][COLS] = { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 };

it's even obviously caught by -Wall (-Wmissing-braces) for both clang and gcc

(oh, actually, g++ fails to recognize it even though gcc and clang do recognize it)

sometimes the latter part is also caught by -fsanitize=undefined, though that goes away if you wrap the array access like so:
printf("%d\n", ((int*)a[0])[i]); (which I'm unsure if that's still undefined behavior, not that it's any more sane even if it isn't)
