  • The current situation really has zero bearing on the principle that it’s better to inform users of this.

    Yes it was. Those industrialists were called "robber barons" for a reason.

  • I think it is humorous exaggeration

  • > Should I be familiar with every step of Dijkstra’s search algorithm and remember the pseudocode at all times?

    Somehow, I think you already know the answer to that is "no".

    I've been working as a software engineer for over 8 years, with no computer science education. I don't know what Dijkstra's search algorithm is, let alone have memorised the pseudocode. I flicked through a book of data structures and algorithms once, but that was after I got my first software job. Unless you're only aiming for Google etc, you don't really need any of this.

  • Antibiotics don’t stop you suffering from poison ivy. At all. In other posts you say you had a broken skin barrier that’s vulnerable to infection, so you presumably know that this is not the same as actually having a bacterial infection, and that antibiotics are only a prophylactic, not a treatment. So stop making out that people are dying to deny you treatment.
