Well. To Java that’s just a string of utf-8 characters, assuming you haven’t bastardised the encoding, and it’s just yanked out of an HTTP entity. So of course they’re different.

If you’re using some json parser and object mapping library (like Jackson) then all bets are off 'cause it could be configured any which way.

On every other language and library it’s whatever the defined behaviour is.

I did this until I moved to an ISP that cared about IPv6.

It was almost trivial even with the ISP’s PoS router.

:old_man_yells_at_west:

It’s not even a distraction.

It’s nothing more than a funnel for money to whichever military industrial complex contractor built it, with a flimsy veneer of “aid”.

“Dinner Out is go”, indeed.

I was thinking economically and hadn’t expanded that to paper espionage.

All that outsourcing industry to India is really paying dividends now eh?

Foreign agents operating on your soil and you have to keep it quiet.

Something funny slick?

This guy, has no idea why he’s here “the best of the best of the best!”, “sir!”

It’s not precluding a subsequent trial that includes women.

Having said that, it is a little odd that it’s a men only trial.

Curing diabetes is not in the shareholders’ best interests.

Derp, here’s me trying to figure out what “98X” was referring to.

Someone banked $320m.

Mission accomplished.

First one then the other

Not while you’re in a plane it isn’t.

Tens of thousands of civilian casualties is the price we are willing to pay for a strategic military asset the the middle east.

After all, tens of thousands of civilian casualties is the price we are willing to pay for the 2nd amendment.

We’d be hypocrites otherwise.

– US Congress, probably.

I said “this is my contract mandated notice period, starting today”.

IIRC the Empire State Building was built “agile”.

We’ll keep adding floors until there’s only enough money left for the roof.

Something about making things in that early 20th C. period of the USA was amazing.

An old employer of mine that I fired was full to the brim of people who genuinely thought that nine women could make a baby in one month.

Like techies we pointed out that nine women could average one baby per month if that what they wanted over nine months but it requires another nine months of planning first.

They didn’t get it. Just kept hiring fixed term contractors to “increase velocity”.

The worst port of it was when my team was just the small internet hippy department that no one took seriously we never had these problems, then we got promoted to “proper department” and lost everything.

Modern commercial success requires that one thinks of people as things. Things that produce labour or things that produce revenue.

The easier it is for one to think of people as things the better executive one makes.

Naturally thinking of people as things is psychopathy

Even the thin blue line is actually red apparently.

Have they tried a really long stick?
