Applies to a lot of things though. Just think what else you could replace the first part with, and whether it qualifies as an argument at all.

I cannot relate to what you write at all. In all my years in school, I did not witness a single day of attendance drop due to weather (the only weather-related exception was for th…

Around here (this site I mean), the majority opinion doesn't find any problem at all with sleet and snow and cycling. The odd thing about this is how the biking paths around here (…

It's the exact opposite. I can't understand the amount of people who have elementary problems comprehending which way the clock changes "geographically" speaking, and what it means…

Shame. "Professional" offendees got into Linus' mind at last, to no one's benefit. Enjoy the break at least.

On the other hand, I've never had my Linux desktop crash for decompressing a big ZIP archive. Of course, credit where credit is due, Explorer crashing isn't necessarily all that dr…

Also seems to support the "standard" shortcuts for formatting (Ctrl+I/U/B, perhaps others), but yeah, the introduction might be lacking.

A bicycle is also often more than an order of magnitude easier to steal; you can't just pick up a car, and a bolt cutter won't cut it even for a car worth $5,000.

The OCD notion of cleanliness doesn't always have really anything to do with any real germs or other pathogens. "Dirtiness" is more an abstract concept that varies and develops ove…

I'm not a doctor, but I'm almost certain your SO absolutely needs to discuss these things with someone to have any chance of relieving, or reversing the trend you mentioned. From m…

>Line breaks in HTML source code should not matter! So, should you put spaces at the end, or at the beginning of lines in text that's broken into multiple lines?

Don't quote me on this, but I think padding bytes might have different values in certain cases.

Universal income, unrestricted immigration. Which is it that you really want? Both of course, people tend to want it all, and dreams to pay for it all. In 100 years it'll supposedl…

Strictly speaking, the initial part of your assumption is not wrong, but the later conclusion is. array[x] and *(array+x) are indeed equivalent for any identifiers 'array' and 'x' …

I don't agree. Restaurants have servers as usual.

>You have the opposite problem though That is a partially solvable problem, though. While you cannot fix a restaurant when it fails at that, you can simply not visit there. Well, a…

You're being a bit harsh on Subway, and maybe rating them on a completely wrong scale. A salad bar in a grocery store literally makes you put your food together, and not at altoget…

I have no idea how Vicodin was designed; however, paracetamol (acetaminophen) wouldn't do that. It is liver toxic in higher doses, and can certainly kill your liver and you eventua…

I find it really hard to believe that the majority of a garbage crisis is caused by tourists "tossing their trash wherever" -- after all, underdeveloped countries have problems wit…

Yes, I'm using that to see what bitrates are available. For the mentioned content, they range from very low to low (up to around 1000 kbps).

It could also be a lot worse than 720p. At least for me, most bigger (not netflix-original) titles are limited to 480p with maximum bitrates even below 1000 kbps when using a "part…

Bitfields would be, in theory, safer still: no manual bit-twiddling to begin with and also quite straightforward usage. Unfortunately, they are (and I guess will remain) underspeci…

>checking if a map or set contain a key requires lots of code Well, we all have our own standards, but... std::set numbers = ...; if (numbers.count(5)) {} // we have a 5

I'm converting because earlier messages used dollars as well. I doubt that taxes that high exist anywhere in the US (1 USD/litre being almost 4 USD/gallon after all).

A funny coincidence: the excise duty on petrol here consists of several "parts", one of which is the carbon dioxide tax, which is currently about 0.25 USD/litre (in total the fixed…
