Because fuck you, that's why.
That seems very straightforward, where is the confusion?
Good grief, no if you can't understand that the only person here making these claims is you then there truly isn't a way forward.
Let me highlight the problems in communication:
This Manichean distinction i feel it’s useless at war.
We agree. (edit: and you're the only one claiming it exists)
propaganda tends to make it’s people over reactive of their affairs and dismissive of the rest of the world.
We agree.
And it is even more useless at the wars America is pushing right now
We agree.
I am sorry if i don’t love or respect or care for your soldiers.
Nobody is asking you to do that.
You are going to see your little soldiers as poor victims because they are yours.
Nobody is doing that.
But if you can’t swallow the pill that the exterminator has more power and agency than the exterminated even at the individual level
When has that ever been a topic of discussion except to tell you that it's not relevant to the point being made?
Bingo, it's people doing those things.
You're taking the assertion of their humanity as somehow a defense - which is really more of a reflection on your values than on those of anyone else here. You're doing the same thing you assert (rightly) that the US attempts to do with the people they are in opposition to: you're framing them as inherently inferior, as monsters, as something other than human, and that's why you've decided to interpret what's being said here as somehow an attack on your values.
They are human. They are people. You've already admitted you pray for their deaths, because the perception you have is that those deaths would then be justified. You just don't want to admit to yourself that you're doing to yourself the exact same thing they've done - that they may feel the same way about their victims as you do about them, and as a result you're lashing out with appeals to emotion that are wasted on your audience because they're aimed to batter against an argument nobody else is making.
Ooo, I do love being spuriously accused of things.
No, I am not policing your tone - I can't speak to other people's motivations, but I personally don't think that's their intent either. At least in my case though, you've either wildly misread my point or are intentionally refusing to engage with the subject. You're shouting about the evils and cowardice and so forth of the american military, when that's not really in question - I haven't seen anyone yet defending the US here, everyone is attempting to explain that the situation is a great deal more complicated than you seem to want it to be, and that passionate ignorance is highly counterproductive when discussing the actions of a global empire.
Again, I have yet to see anyone make any claims in defense of the US military - only that your explanation, that they're all mentally ill evil monsters, is ridiculous. They're people, and if you choose that to interpret that as a defense of their behavior, you have fundamentally misunderstood the dangers of nationalism, humanity and the entire point people have patiently been trying to explain to you.
I think that an alternate universe washington post or new york times would write that you were dealt a shit hand for being born in that rock and not being able to leave.
But we don't live in an alternate universe - so what's the point of saying this? That the US is the wealthiest nation / most powerful nation / has a global hegemony has little impact on the present reality that despite polling showing record high number of people wanting to leave the US they can't actually afford to do it. Everything thereafter, working within the geographic boundaries of the country they live in to mitigate the harm done, flows from there.
Why are you not engaging with what they're saying, in favor of exhorting your bloodlust for the US military?
Wouldn't that be convenient? Everyone who does horrible things is a psychopath? No. They're just people. People that bought the patriotism line, or who wanted out of poverty and were told this might be a way, or people who have some notion of honor or duty or what have you. They're you, with different social pressures. That's what the fight is against - not groups that find terrible people and cultivate them, but groups that can frame terrible things in ways that ordinary people find noble or worthy. Just as much as you yourself are not immune to propaganda, neither is anyone else.
I wasn't really referring to this post with that question - though it is relevant that leaving even an effectively unconstrained field like one that allows for the shrek script to be submitted would have seen me fired (if it had somehow passed QC, field sizes are one of the first things checked).
I was more curious about how different our experiences seem to be: you seem to imply a background where you're expected to take the requirements as gospel with what you write based solely off that unless you're personally invested, whereas in my experience engaging critically with the project is the single most important aspect of the development process, and not questioning potentially unwanted behavior leaves you open to firing (or criminal neglect if you're dealing with medical PII, criminal records, etc...)
I'm quite genuinely interested in the different approach to development philosophy you present here.
Sincere question, are you not expected to clarify questionable business rules? I've never worked somewhere that leaving such an obvious issue like "unrestricted fields in a public-facing application" without getting it explicitly stated that that's intended functionality wouldn't have gotten me fired instantly.
Yeah, sleepy and wasn't thinking about file sizes. That 1Gb limit (or, the Tsql 65,536 * [something] limit) was what I was referring to, but rather obviously the plaintext script for the movie is a just a little tiny bit smaller than that (51kb).
It's still a good deal larger than what in my experience can be fit into a receipt printer, but I can forgive their phrasing even if it was only a small part of the whole script. And aside from that, it does look to be a pretty modern device so it's very possible that the stupid stupid 20kb file size limit that was so common has since been expanded (Last time I had to deal with a receipt printer the file was streamed over a serial connection into the printer cache before being run off G-code style. Incredibly charming piece of tech...)
Cannot imagine how this could be legit - you'd run into a hard limit unless you explicitly designed that field to be unbounded.
