  • The first programs were written in binary/hexadecimal, and only later did we invent coding languages to convert between human readable code and binary machine code.

    The first programs were thousands of times smaller and less complicated.

    So why can’t we just do the same thing in reverse?

    We can.

    Couldn’t a very smart person (or AI) just take the existing program and turn it into code?

    No, you’d need a team of experienced developers and lots of time.
    So much time that the target software you’re trying to reverse engineer usually moves faster than you can catch up.
    So you’re constantly falling further behind the current state of what people want to use.
    And no one will give you money for your effort. And if you do manage to become successful and make money, a swarm of lawyers will descend upon you.




  • It’s fascinating how Germany has a very similar separation of powers between the President and the Chancellor, on paper.
    The President is the most powerful person in the country, officially. They can veto any law, dissolve the parliament, call for re-elections and nominate the Chancellor.
    But in reality and by convention, the President’s entire job is to shake hands, and give new-years eve speeches about putting the country’s well-being above party politics, which are universally applauded, then ignored.

    If a President were to actually use their powers to their full extent, it would trigger a constitutional crisis. They’re simply not supposed to do that.



  • Mainly because they’re the losers of globalism, and the failed integration of immigrants. They can only afford to rent in areas that immigrants are pushed into for the same reason. So their kids go to school in classes where almost no education is possible because more than half the children can’t speak German, and they are subject to crime and run-down surroundings.
    Then it’s easy to rile them up against immigrants, which seem to be the cause of their problems, instead of the upper class that actually caused all this, through the use of weaponized social media.

    Ironically, but understandingly, the same immigrants who are also part of the working class, are drawn to the far right as well, because they suffer from the same problems as the German working class, and also feel that it’ll get worse if more immigrants pour into their living space.

    I personally know a woman from Hungary who votes far right to prevent more Hungarians from coming in, cause she fears they’ll bring with them the same problems she moved to Germany to avoid.
