People in a coma are still considered real human beings. The reason why you'd pull the plug is because there is no prospect of survival, or that the resources necessary are too gre…

What I like is practical and real life, what I don't like is ideological.

This requires a justification for why home size is a good indicator of quality of life, or for why it's more important than other indicators.

Many americans put the euro sign before the numerical value even though most (afaik all) countries that use the euro put it after. This is such a weird thing to get bothered by.

Yes it's invite-based, and yes it actually is lobsters, a fork of it.

The lack of such tooling may be precisely why many potentially great "indie" languages never succeed.

They meant that the implementation of a four-function calculator only needs a few fixed variables rather than a stack.

The amount of braking you can apply before flying over the handlebars decreases significantly the more you move the center of gravity forward.

I'm comparing more to 2010s cars :) I think it's a pretty good balance between visibility and comfort. But I can definitely see your point. > Are there new cars with warm LED light…

Huh, I hadn't realized you can't search for submission domains, that seems like an oversight. To search for comments specifically there's a dropdown in the top left by the way.

Fair enough, though I think the techniques that the author uses are perfectly adequate depending on the type and scale of software you're writing. Maybe it should be better labelle…

With a full pardon it's as if he never did anything in the first place.

It's a bit big for my hands as well, but the huge touch screen is amazing for programs like sunvox so I don't even mind. I think it's hard to genuinely appreciate how big the thing…

The formatting is off, family time is 17:00-21:00 in GP's comment.

On almost every newline, which is the reason why this doesn't work: func thing() { I quite like this approach. It's very simple and consistent, and once you know how it works it's …

Because now you have to jump around in order to see the sequence of events, which can be very frustrating if you have to constantly switch between two of these functions. Plus, if …

Yep, you're right. One way to make this less of a problem is to make this distinction at the type level, having both an owned_string and a string_view for example. You can even mak…

Two people have already mentioned things like storing the length inline or including a null-terminator to be backwards-compatible. What's described there is basically the same as s…

You have a point. It's a complicated issue for sure, I definitely don't want to be the one tasked with making a decision (and being judged for it!)

No voting machines were used. It was paper ballots with stamps.
