>So far China doesn't look very interested in climate change either I disagree with this, I think it's easy to paint China as the villain across a cultural, lingual divide in an at…

2hrs/Illegal for medical reasons/doesn't exist/doesn't exist

Unfortunately, I do need to go to work if I'm interested in continuing to live.

I think you should have indicated that you weren't certain in the original accusation.

Some of the same websites also break middle click functionality. Sometimes, if you fail to load the next 'page', you can't have another go at loading it unless you refresh and scro…

Players didn't have to aim up to shoot something above them

It happens. Imagine you decide on the MS-compatible bits C99, then the team naturally picks up new people and loses the ones who made the decision. Eventually, people will know the…

I used to be weekend staff at a clothing store that changed layouts every week. Every weekend, I'd have to relearn where everything was.

That doesn't matter if features you're able to used are gated on the standard you use. If the standard you choose is based on what your target platforms 'support': no inline for yo…

Inline was added in C99, which MSVC still doesn't support entirely. If this has to be taken into account when you choose what standard to use for your codebase, that's a quarter of…

Fundamentally, I think you are correct, however my English-second-language friends/colleagues tend to write better English when it's in a structured fashion - like a commit message…

I suspect 'The Hague' from the byline is not in a country with a murder rate double that of the Netherlands.

I thought Linux didn't provide a stable ABI and tells developers to upstream instead? Is this the same topic?

We do ban lots of things. They're children. >There is in my opinion a very clear danger associated with setting up draconian surveillance states borne out by history. In my experie…

I don't think that's a fair assertion. Even going in through the front doors with guns in their coats, the perpetrators of Columbine massacre used bags full of bombs. >if they are …

This is a good point and I hope they can work around it (such as by allowing small opaque bags inside the bag).

Look at how that same argument fails to apply to suicide statistics being reduced by removing access to guns or falls from bridges. You're trying to apply a logical train of though…

Welcome to mandatory education

That's a poor comparison though. Both of the others provide other benefits: a method of commuting to school or exercise. Potentially even scholarships. Fashionable backpacks do not…

>But clear backpacks do nothing at all to make them safer I must be missing most of my brain then because, to me, this sounds unfounded.

Do clear backpacks increase the risk of dying from cycling?

This is why this definition of entitled irritates me, it's used to mean 'not entitled but thinks they are entitled'.

I don't understand the internet's new obsession with descriptivism. Yes, it's English, in a circular-argument kind of way, but that doesn't make it good style. The whole takeaway f…

>When I worked for Nintendo we broadly called the segment I’m in “lapsed gamer” and it’s actually a pretty big niche... I'm interested in what you've said here. Not only does it de…
