    You could replace specialized terms with nonsense words in anything. This is completely non-actionable critique. In the end, there is no Royal Road to learning. You have to create …

    Same typewriters that didn't bother having dedicated "0" and "1" keys?

    How does it prevent security vulnerabilities when instead of being undefined entirely, the behaviour is defined to be wrong? This is the "chug along at all costs" mentality that PH…

    The distinction between #3 and #4 does not matter in practice: "I have learned to use variable initializers, that's why there isn't one present". As soon as you make it reliable, p…
