Does anyone (or any team) have ownership of the extensions/git/package.json file?

Language is messy, some more than others [1].

"I am a worker and I work in a vacuum cleaner factory. My wife could use a vacuum cleaner. That's why everyday I pick up a piece. At home I try to assemble the vacuum cleaner. But however I try, it always becomes a sub-machine gun.

...

This vacuum cleaner can become a useful weapon. This sub-machine gun can become a useful household appliance.

What we produce it depends on the workers, students, and engineers."

That last line is still very relevant today.

There's a C++26 paper about compile time math optimizations with a good overview and discussion about some of these issues [P1383]. The paper explicitly states:

1. It is acceptable for evaluation of mathematical functions to differ between translation time and runtime.

2. It is acceptable for constant evaluation of mathematical functions to differ between platforms.

So C++ has very much accepted the fact that floating point functions should not be presumed to give identical results in all circumstances.

Now, it is of course possible to ensure that floating point-related functions give identical results on all your target machines, but it's usually not worth the hassle.

So now we have a few hundred thousand people with the last name Andersson, despite most of them not being Anders's son.

Just to reiterate how ubiquitous Swish and BankID are here: 99.9% of Swedish residents age 18-67 have BankID (8.6M users), while Swish has 8.7M private users, and 93% of those users send or receive money via Swish at least once per month.

Most of these reasons just sound like fee-issues to me. I use a debit card (or Swish) to pay for everything and there's never a cheaper payment option. The fact that checks somehow cost less to use than debit/credit cards sounds ridiculous tbh, especially with all the added handling that must go into dealing with them (it just seems so inefficient).

Swish is the de facto standard for sending money between individuals [2], and that's what grandparents tend to use to send money to their grandchildren. It's fee-less (for person-to-person transfers use at least) and it connects your bank account with your phone number. So if anyone wants to send you money, they can just open Swish and enter your phone number (or scan a QR code) and send you some. You also have to sign the payment with the BankID app, which is the de facto standard for authentication [3].

And when I write de facto standard I really mean it. 99.9% of Swedish residents age 18-67 have BankID (8.6M users), while Swish has 8.7M private users (93% of which use Swish at least once per month).

And thank you for posting this, because it made me think of Sir Noël Coward's banger song "There are bad times just around the corner" (1952) [1], which I hadn't listened to in years.

  There are bad times just around the corner  
  There are dark clouds hurtling through the sky  
  And it's no good whining  
  About a silver lining  
  For we know from experience that they won't roll by  

If you have INT_MIN along with any other negative number in the array then your program has undefined behavior in C. Signed integer overflow is UB (but unsigned overflow is not).
