    That one I can't be too mad about. Better FIFA gets the profits instead of ticket scalpers.

    Because then you have to add that you mean UTC since the time format looks like local time. With beats it's obvious from the formatting that it's internet time.

    I almost think that one was a bit too early. Having a "universal" way to share time that's not timezone ambiguous would be pretty handy these days.

    The person doing the hiring would be criminally liable and probably go to prison. The corporation itself would at best pay a fine.

    Well yes. Say you check out a project that's all tabs but your editor is using spaces for indentation. You change a line and now the program is broken. Calling the auto-formatter w…

    You can't autoformat broken indentation with significant whitespace since it would make the program not parse (or parse incorrectly)
