Presently we find ourselves entrapped within a five-sided fucktagon

As a dev, this type of thing could easily happen by mistake. But they don't deserve the benefit of the doubt.

The text of the document isn't where changes likely took place (if we assume this was a bug). The webpage is an annotated version of the constitution with links between headers and "essay" pages containing explanations, references, interpretations, and context. The webpage has dynamic and styled components. It's possible to break these things in any number of ways. But like I said, no reason to be charitable. If they want us to believe it was a mistake they can prove it.

Just as an example, one thing that could happen is the "essay page" for part(s) of Sections 9 and 10 could have been modified, with the new version having a different URL, and the static page generator was still pointing at the old URL which is no longer valid, which caused the whole section to be invalid, which caused them to be omitted (instead of failing noisily, due to developer incompetence).

The commenter is saying if Trump drives up the price of soda, it'll be a plus for public health. That's probably true. Using cane sugar in canned coke might not make it taste better (which is surprising to me, honestly) but it will make it more expensive.

I have read programs a lot shorter than 500 lines which I don't have the expertise to write.

I dunno, but the last season takes a hard left turn with one major character leaving the pd for ethical reasons and the others struggling with their part in the institution. It was definitely informed by current events.

This has nothing to do with Windows or Linux. Crowdstrike has in fact broken Linux installs in a fairly similar way before.

They're sacrificing the utility of the tool to make it part of their new AI-driven operating system as a service platform. The only thing notepad had going for it was its complete simplicity, reliability, and speed. Nobody wants notepad to try to rope you into this ecosystem, certainly not at the expense of those qualities.

Even with the recent updates, I'm over it. Notepad has crashed on me at least twice. Notepad. Crashed. There is no longer any reason to use it.

Modern mobile OS' and apps are quite strictly sandboxed so, with reasonable vetting like Google Play Store and Apple Store, you can reasonably safely install random crap and uninstall it later. It's a different realm from running random binary executables.

Flatpak is fine. Snap is Canonical's proprietary version, which ties you specifically to their app store. It's not designed to be an open standard but Canonical has made it compulsory in one of the largest distros (Ubuntu) and its derivatives. There are also problems with its sandboxing mechanism competing with AppArmor.
