The rating system isn’t meant to be taken literally though. It’s expected that parents make an informed choice based on the maturity of their child. The ratings are recommendations and as far as I know only actually enforced by stores/sellers and cinemas.

To be fair, school lunches aren’t free in Germany.

Technically they could be considered free if you factor in monthly child benefits (currently at 259€ per child) or parents further qualify for social assistance.

I don’t know enough about Windows app development to answer this. Maybe it replaces the old .exe and the now replaced .exe is just continuing to run from RAM? Maybe there is some restarter.exe program in the same folder that does all the work. In any case, this depends far too much on the Windows update process and how to launch applications.

I just know when I used Windows applications in the past, they were able to restart themselves after updating somehow.

I meant the old .exe would check the signatures before initializing the official Windows way to update. Effectively have this run whenever you start the application:

main() {
    if (update_available()) {
        exe_path = download_update()
        if (signature(exe_path) == SIGNATURE) {
            install_update(exe_path)
            restart()
        } else {
            put_up_a_warning_or_something()
            delete(exe_path)
        }
    }
# Rest of the application
# ...
}

The only thing I have no idea how to implement would be the install_update(path) function. But surely this is one way to install updates without signatures recognized by Microsoft, right?

And if for some reason you aren’t allowed to sign the .exe because this breaks something, then place an unsigned .exe in a signed zip folder.

Yes, but from what I understand this refers to the automatic update functionality and not Microsoft’s own .exe signature verification thing.

Couldn’t you do it like this:

• Put hardcoded key into N++
• If a new release is available: Download, then verify signature
• If the signatures match, do whatever Windows requires to install an update

That should work, shouldn’t it?

It’s astounding this wasn’t done years sooner to be honest. I mean, signing software with keys is not something invented recently. Not doing so is akin to storing passwords in plain text.

Reason #186729 why it’s insane to have no right to privacy in public.

Fun fact: Recording the public is illegal in Germany. Any private video camera must only be able to record your own property. If you do record (and store - smart doorbells without storage that are only active when they are rung are exempted) material you must have visible warnings (that others can see BEFORE being recorded) or else any evidence you collect is likely to be thrown out in court.

You seem to be wrong about the packaging criteria:

Packaging

The V-Label does not exclude products whose packaging contains animal-derived products. However, companies are encouraged to voluntarily avoid using packaging containing animal-derived products.

Bing/DDG have a lot of weird censorship.

“Shapedo” and “Sharkpedo” both work btw.

What do you mean?

Cars just do that sometimes.

Unless you learned German in Austria-Hungary between 1879 and 1901 of course.

The opposite, you have a right to privacy even after being sentenced. Such a registry sounds like it would drastically increase recidivism rates by making you unemployable and unable to form a social life.

Even though this isn’t C, but if we take from the C11 draft §6.8.5 point 6 (https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1570.pdf):

An iteration statement whose controlling expression is not a constant expression, that performs no input/output operations, does not access volatile objects, and performs no synchronization or atomic operations in its body, controlling expression, or (in the case of a for statement) its expression-3, may be assumed by the implementation to terminate

“new Random().nextInt()” might perform I/O though so it could still be defined behavior. Or the compiler does not assume this assumption.

But an aggressive compiler could realize the loop would not terminate if x does not become 10 so x must be 10 because the loop can be assumed to terminate.

Infinite loops are often weird though. They could be seen as undefined behavior and the compiler may do whatever it feels like.

Not sure about the last one though. The other two are trivial to optimize away.

Occasionally Imgur is blocked but you can just switch the VPN to a less populous country and it will not be blocked. Still annoying though.
