In an unusual and unusable place

How do they still have money

They are printing it.... 18% inflation...

And with a bit of namespacing and/or object orientation and usage of dots, it becomes perfectly readable.

There are also camel case and underscores in other languages...

BTW: How on earth should a newcomer know that the letter "n" in that word stands for number without having to google it? The newcomer could even assume that it's a letter of the word string..... And even, if you know that it stands for number, it's still hard for me to understand what it means in this context... I actually had to google it... But that's probably some C++ convention I don't know about, because I don't program in C++.....

Why are they even named like this?

When I read code, I want to be able to read it.....

Is this from a time when space was expensive and you wanted to reduce the space of the source files on the devs PC???

For me (with a native language != english), this made it a lot harder to get into programming in the first place.

I'm calling the E2E algirithm open source. That's the reason why WhatsApp is using it, too. As long as the message is correctly encrypted for E2E on the client side, it should not matter what the server is doing as far as I know.

There are open groups on Telegram in which people post that they want to see person XY dead... Everyone who joins the open group can read it anyway.

They decided not to moderate this and not to delete illegal content once reported, although it's easily possible without breaking encryption.

IMO, this has not much to do with privacy.

This is like posting that we should kill someone on Reddit and nothing is happening.

The algorithm for the end to end encryption is open source as far as I know. Should be easy for security researchers to prove that something is manipulated...

1. When talking abou encryption for chat apps, it's uaually about E2E...

2. We are usually talking about open groups on Telegram. I can join them. You can join them. Police can join them. Everyone can read everything afterwards.

Your connection to the Lemmy server you are using is also encrypted. But I can read your response anyway... So, no E2E...

You don't need to crack down encryption for most of the platform. There are people in open groups who sometimes post illegal stuff.

If someone posts that they want to see person XY dead, it should not make a difference whether it's on Reddit, Lemmy or in an open Telegram group..

The least we can expect is some kind of moderation like on Reddit or here.

Ah... And what is that accusation backed with?

Contamination via Selfie? I hope, they recover well....

The 4th Welsh sheep brigarde... Our worst nightmare..
