Ruff is actually a formatter too

It is more obvious with some and a bit more nuanced with others, but in general yes. Just like you can typically see the flat/wide nose in Africans and Asians but not Europeans. Ag…

Skin color and (facial) bone structure for example. Like it or not, but humans have adapted to living in different climates and have different ancestral lines. Take a picture of an…

The problem is what follows. They will make it mandatory to use the electronic ID to do anything, resulting in total surveillance. And if you happen to land on their "bad" list (wh…

I would guess that Ada is simply more known. Keep in mind that tech exploded in the past ~3.5 decades whereas those languages are much older and lost the popularity contest. If you…

If you have lots of pointers, you're writing C, not C++.

> But my main gripe with tabs is that no one agrees on the width. That's the entire point of tabs. One tab means one indentation level and you as the user can decide how that's dis…

Ah, I didn't know that. To me your sentence read like autists out themselves by wearing a smartwatch. Fully agree with you on that, the less data they have, the better.

> and wearing a fitbit or smart watch. Since when is wearing smart watches only for autists?

You should get your calculator checked. 9.11 is definitely less than 9.9

There is a GitHub icon directly at the top right of the side so your first two steps can be combined into one shorter one. But yes, screenshots should absolutely be on the home pag…

> I can't say why the scientists aren't flocking to Nim, but as someone who wants to support them wherever they go, it's why I'm uncertain if it was the right call. Because most sc…

Well first of all, C++ is the language you'd be using to power a rocket engine. And second, that code is a terrible example because most of it isn't C++. Large parts of that are ve…

Only due to contraceptions not being a thing for most of history.

> Which is impossible to do properly, because those keyboards differ from US keyboards in their geometry, not just in the labeling of the keys. The only difference is that on US ke…

While that is true, there might be other requirements that prevent memory safe languages from being used. For example not having a heap available instantly disqualifies most of the…

> We can not let a tyranny of 1% of users steer the ship. Normally I'd agree with you on that the tyranny of the minority is a bad thing, but sometimes the minority actually has a …

> In LaTeX you can have actual boldface letters, so you should write a boldface letter R to represent the real numbers and so on. Almost [1] every single student absolutely hates t…

I don't, I think that line length limits are typically not a good idea and thus I don't like hard limiting them. Now obviously arbitrarily long lines are no good, I'm not advocatin…

That's a pretty ignorant view, there's tons of developers using Windows. If you take a look at the SO survey (or similar ones), Windows has 47% in the "Professional use" category.

This has nothing to do with enterprise, it's about accessibility. For most people on the planet English isn't even the first language and now you expect them to know about obscure …

It's not just age, plenty of people find 2 spaces hard to read. Thus the only logical choice for indentation is tabs. That way every reader can pick the size that is good for them.…
