  if you compiled some code and then uncompiled it you would get the most efficient version of it ... ?

  Sorta, an optimizing compiler will always trim dead code which isn't needed, but it will also do things that are more efficient but make the code harder to understand like unrolling loops. e.g. you might have some code that says "for numbers 1-100 call some function" the compiler can look at this and say "let's just go ahead and insert 100 calls to that function with the specific number" so instead of a small loop you'll see a big block of function calls almost the same.

  Other optimizations will similarly obfuscate the original programmers intent, and thinks like assertions are meant to be optimized out in production code so those won't appear in the de-compiled version of the sources.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the saying, "The internet's written in ink, not pencil" accurate?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Web sites and pages come and go, but the search engine indices are forever. The Internet Archive, for example, uses data from a search engine crawler to populate their archive of the internet (until Alexa was shut down by Amazon, they do their own crawling now). Google likely has a lot of old internet data in archives as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the best way to safely and completely erase all data from old laptops?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  True, but if all the data was encrypted, then the drive formatted it would require physically dismantling an HDD in a clean room to recover data, for SSDs the wear leveling makes it hard to fully erase anything, but again, after encrypting and formatting the cost of the tools needed to get the data back are well above the potential benefit (i.e. there are easier ways to get people's personal info)

  Once you're in the top 0.1% it's probably safe to go outside and just lord your intelligence over everyone you meet.

  Approximately 30 days before students are charged, a notice will be sent to community members in an effort to identify the responsible individual(s) for additional investigation.

  Ah, so if you don't rat out the vandals, you have to pay
