It's to explain why she did it.

Prolog is not suitable for any problem domain, although this is more readily apparent for some domains than others.

For real, for real.

As a climber I have to disagree, figure 8 knots are the best, especially when double back.
It's the one knot I trust my life to on a weekly basis and I have rarely encountered a situation where they weren't part of the solution.

Short answer:
It gave us compiler explorer, now that it has served its purpose we should stop doing it.

Long answer:

Why does hft even exist?

Hft can exist because most stock markets react to requests as fast as possible and have no noticable fees for certain use cases. This means algorithms that do simple trades like if goggle goes up, buy other tech companies or buy any stock that goes up in europe on the NY market can make small profits if they are faster than everyone else.

Does it have any value?

There is one exchange that imposes a delay on every request, effectively inhibiting hft, and its opening actually improved market conditions on all exchanges. This implies it has negative value.
They also spend millions on hardware, tools and developers to skim small sums of many transaction on the stock market. They are effectively a (very inefficient) tax on the stock market that goes to improving C++ compilers and funding hardware startups.

The can't find the difference meme would fit better.

It was hit during takeoff.
Maybe the drone arrived shortly before takeoff and the operator thought:

If I wait for it to take of I could ~~get an air to air kill~~ do more damage.

Reminds me of the time a F-15 bombed a helicopter mid air.

Having many guys with pointy sticks (muskets with bayonets in this case) was still the best way to defend against cavalry.
Having one big blob of people with pointy sticks also enabled charges to rout the enemy and stoped them from doing it to you.

Inline code in `back ticks`

Multiline code
in 
` ` `
triple back tics
` ` `

I don't know how to escape triple back tics inside a code block, just ignore the spaces

I agree with the sentiment but ...

then nothing can be bricked because on paper you can desolder the rom chip and put another one in place.

Companies already put serial numbers in components and configure them so only specific ones work together, requiring OEM tools to pair them.
It's imaginable that someone makes something similar with e-fuzes instead.

We should do Anarcho-NATOism

A yes, the two genders of binary file formats: renamed sqlite file and renamed zip folder.

The other atomic clocks that are averaged to give us our ground truth for time.
