Never hear of someone who was rear ended being liable. Guy behind should keep a distance that allows him reacting in time and he is responsible for keeping that distance.

The same for skiing you don’t have eyes on the back of your head, one behind you is responsible for not crashing into you.

In car you have rear mirrors but if you have something in front of you and breaking you are not going to look in the mirrors.

Yeah, I suppose this could vary by geography, but my understanding is that in Canada, you're nearly-absolutely responsible for hitting anything in front of you, and nearly-absolutely not responsible for anything hitting you from behind.

The only exception I could think of would be if someone intentionally jumped in front of your car, or if you did a patently and clearly unsafe maneuver, but even then I think there'd be a sort of rebuttable presumption of fault.

Everyone who is angry at „not giving feedback what is malicious” should remember that bad guys will also do so and with feedback they just get more information on how to make malicious sites to hide better.

Google is not great but we all can’t have nice things because of thieves and criminals.

Let’s face it, justice system uses money as proxy for how important things are for society not for single citizens.

As a society we don’t have enough resources to tend to every dispute.

I don’t think there is a solution to that. Even if ideally we want to help everyone who needs disputes solved - waiting for judge 2 or 3 years is a thing in places but for people it is just useless.

I agree that this is often the situation in practice. I feel it's kind of bleak to just accept that status quo. Democracy lost? Back to the medieval system of nobles and serfs? Where having money means having rights?

We don't live (hopefully) in a complete lawless anarchy where it's just 'might makes right'. And we should certainly not strive to end up that way.

> waiting for judge 2 or 3 years is a thing in places but for people it is just useless.

Which is a bit of an exaggeration. When someone breaks the law it doesn't take 2-3 years to get fined/punished. At least not in a functioning society.

Violent people are getting locked up and then wait for trial in prison usually.

So yes we don’t live in total anarchy but a lot depends on people being decent.

I don’t think Germany has favorable place for orbital launches.

For any failure you would need to have an ocean in the direction of launch.

Also not all orbits are equal because then you need more fuel etc.

It is silly to say every country has equal opportunity to go to space because space is only 100km up. That’s not how it works.

The BBC - well sun never sets on British Empire.

LLMs learned from people xD

I do that for my personal projects.

Doing that on projects where I collaborate I would equate to pissing in public.

That is also why pull requests are such a great idea in general, because GIT allows one to piss in his own garden as much as they want.

Even if I could piss in my own branch I never do so when working on a project with other people.

I don't piss around my home obviously in case someone didn't get the metaphor.

One problem I see all the time is that people are not using proper tools.

Yeah command line is cool and all but I do believe most of the developers should be using UI tooling where staging area is showing nice diffs.

Built in GIT handling in IDE usually is better than command line but also usually worse than dedicated tool like GitExtensions or SourceTree which are free and are super convenient for staging.

People don't know they don't have to stage whole files but they can stage hunks, well in command line it is too much hassle for me but in GUI tools it is no brainer.

I recommend looking here: https://git-scm.com/tools/guis

(it might be that you will be waaay cooler using GUI tool because you will be able to fix things others can't ... saying from my experience)

You’re not wrong. I’ve used tig, a git TUI that renders very nice views of the diffs, for many years: https://jonas.github.io/tig/

Fun fact: Jonas, the creator of tig, is an ex-colleague of mine. It’s cool working with people while using dev tools they wrote!

I disagree because I have business people to have discussion with different customers on different timelines.

I can't hard code any of the flags until I have big customers notified and onboarded with the change.

So one would say why aren't your customers onboarded with the change before you implement it. Well no because they have 20-30 other applications they are using on daily basis.

While yeah we can push some customers to new features, we still need to have some realistic adoption in place before we can switch ... mostly because we are not Attlasian or Microsoft — we have actual people taking angry calls and angry e-mails from the customers.

Well they had to because UK across the Northern Sea was their competition and so France just below, while having Germans next door and Spain not being an ally. Did I mention they are bunch of tall assholes anyways?
