Calling something "the shit" is still unnecessarily using profanity. It's impolite. It's not a surprise it would be flagged as offensive.
I imagine it could have something to do with the physical fixedness of a book. I can remember the positions of the line breaks in some of my favourite books as a child and it wouldn't surprise me if the physical layout…

The Linux kernel uses lots of macros, many of them with lowercase names that are barely distinguishable from function names. Given the quality of that codebase, I think not using macros is a bit silly.
You could make a proposal to the C committee to add a keyword `_Nullptr` and to add a header `stdnull.h` which has `#define nullptr _Nullptr`, like they did with bool.
(Please do write code like this anymore.)

Elon Musk is indisputably a snake oil salesman. See: hyperloop.
It definitely seems like a lot of the time, the people making these lists could just resolve the issues with not a lot more effort than writing all this 'good first issue' documentation. It's one thing to throw a tag…
Newspaper ads don't have tracking. TV ads don't have tracking. Why should web ads? They don't have a right to a business model. I do have a right to privacy. If they can't come up with a viable business model that…

>Should Sony also be forced to keep their service running for PS1 games that had an online component - forever? Yes! Absolutely they should.
They should still be responsible for damages if they were their fault, though. Just like you shouldn't lose the warranty on your car because you get the tyres changed at an independent garage.
Pretty much every house built in the last 25 years does at least.
The first recourse of the law typically isn't jail.
>47+53=107??? >Haha, okay I get it, it was a slip. Yikes that's embarrassing. Yeah 47 + 3 to 54 - 3 obviously. Of course I brainfart exactly there. Should note that you messed up too: I said 47 + 54, not 47 + 53. :D >…
I don't see how your hand occludes what you're writing. It occludes what you've already written. But you've already written that bit, and you can move your hand if you really need to see it. Maybe we should go back to…
Are teams not based on age in the United States? In New Zealand they're all categorised as 'under 9s', 'under 8s', 'under 7s' etc. They've also introduced weight classes to a lot of teen sports too to prevent them from…
Of course it's a bad thing! Imagine not being able to write your own language.
What are these 'common core math' techniques? I went to primary school in New Zealand. In around 2005 they introduced a new way of teaching mathematics that we referred to as the 'numeracy programme'. It wasn't very…
The Magician's Nephew is the best one! You do need to read it after at least the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe though, or it's a bit of a spoiler.
Most of those channels you mention aren't really teaching anything beyond general knowledge and trivia. You could watch every video on every one of those channels and you might know a lot of random facts but it won't…
In my experience they aren't different at all. Steam Workshop is just a distribution platform for mods. It's a mod installer and manager. It doesn't stop you doing it manually.

I find this (seemingly uniquely American) idea that it's wrong to discriminate in insurance quite strange. I'd love to understand your thought process behind it. The whole point of insurance, as I see it, is that you…
