Older C compilers would truncate a variable name if it was too long, so VeryLongGlobalConstantInsideALibraryInSeconds
might accidentally collide with VeryLongGlobalConstantInsideALibraryInMinutes
.
Legend says that they used to do it after a single letter with Dennis declaring “26 variables ought to be enough for anyone”.
Whoosh
Seriously though, spring configurations are written in XML and you create variables, call functions, and have control flow. Effectively turning XML into a horrible twisted shadow of a programming language.
All in the name of “configurability” through dependency injection.
XML is the second worst programming language ever created by humans
Dwarf Fortress almost made me fail a few courses in undergrad.
That is a game that redefines the concept of fun.
Even though this will elicit a response from them I don’t think they will fire an overly large barrage. 5-10 at a time every hour for a few hours will probably get the response they’re looking for. This wasn’t a Hezbollah member, but they need to save face after drawing the line in the sand - so they’ll launch something “easy” but serious enough to make it look like they’re doing something.
If they drop a residential building in Tel Aviv it would run the risk of an immediate and extreme escalation.
The issue here is that even if Reuters want told ahead of time, the paid money to a person who has a close working relationship with a foreign terrorist organization. Sufficiently close that they knew exactly where to go along a 60km (37mi) border in time to take pictures of hostages being brought into Gaza. At least one of the photographers took photographs of himself inside Israeli territory.
The true focus needs to be on failed financial controls within these companies - transacting with sanctioned entities is a big fucking problem (strict liability fines, criminal liability) and should rightly worry these companies.
I truly believe they just jumped on a huge story and had no malintent. This is mostly saber rattling by Israel to counter what they perceive to be biased reporting.
Where does the 93 come from? The percentage is almost correct, but it should be 11 (1.074%)
