The rating is taking into consideration that it has 4 engines. The term is just confusing because it used to only apply to twin engine aircraft.

How can it both have no side effects and have undefined behaviour?

[masklinn → asdfaoeu]

By being declared as that?

Division has no side effects, and division by 0 is UB. UBs only occur in invalid programs, so behaviour in case of UB is not relevant to a discussion of side effects or their lack thereof, in language terms these are not programs at all.

[asdfaoeu → masklinn]

If print statement never completes then it is a well defined program. Because there will be no division by zero.

And if my grandmother had wheels she'd be a bike.

[dllthomas → masklinn]

Is your grandmother a bike every time the receiving side of a pipe terminates before the sending side, or only when it happens to interrupt a printf?

[sapiogram → asdfaoeu]

Both statements don't need to be true. The compiler just has to prove that at least one of the statements will always be true.

[asdfaoeu → sapiogram]

True but it only has no side effects if it's well defined. The compiler can assume it's well defined but only if it's executed.

There's two products here Bluetooth trackers and phones. People don't want to buy phones that expose themselves to tracking by other people.

[pompino → asdfaoeu]

Every phone is already being being tracked and logged. What youre really saying is that people often tolerate some tracking if done by CIA/phone company/Apple/Google/FB. We're just playing with semantics here. Tracking is either acceptable or not. The only real solution is to go off-grid.

[tdeck → pompino]

It's reasonable for a person to have a threat model that's more concerned about their violent narcissist ex attaching an AirTag to their car than about the CIA.

[PurestGuava → tdeck]

It's astonishing how few people actually seem to realise this.

[datadrivenangel → pompino]

If the FBI wants to obliterate me, they can get a warrant and send goons to my house. The costs of preparing for that threat model are excessive, so I don't.

If some scumbag ad company wants to track me, they can eat shit on my adblocker and not track me. The cost of preparing for that threat model is trivial, so I do.

[wolfendin → pompino]

CIA/phone company/Apple/Google/FB/some rando are all different, independent, situations; as a reasonable adult I have decided that some of them are acceptable, some of them are not.

[asdfaoeu]

They have ARN's which include the account which a glob match is useful. Something like "arn:aws:*:*:1234567890:*" is useful but "arn:aws:*:*:1234567*:*" isn't

So basically now only a select few have the resources to compete and now everyone will be able to?
