I'm admittedly not proficient in C++, but I can't see what's beatiful about the code. Looking at the specific example you linked to... inconsistent formatting and "magic values" aside, what's the point of, say

I come across the reverse version, too. I mean, the fallacy of labels - situations just like your example, but where (say) Agile methodology was INDEED not properly followed, despite being branded as such.

Unless there is some type of allergy involved, I don't see much of a reason for preferring plant milk over cow's milk. The ingredients list for plant "milks" is often quite long, containing thickening agents and whatnot.

It's not practical to use them in the long run, you pretty much have to memorize them to be able to meet the company standards for till speed. And memorization is expected by the management. At least that was the case when I used to wo

This is not the packing area though. In Aldis you are generally not expected to pack at the till at all. What should be happening is that you put all your shopping right back into the trolley, then take it away and bag your stuff at your pa

My point is that adopting such point of view is a form of fatalism that leads to erosion of self-control.

I'd use rebase --interactive quite aggressively on a public branch when it's a feature branch that's not yet been merged. As I'm the only owner of it, the way I see it I owe no guarantees to anyone. You're welcome

When I see a good review, I check other reviews of this person. If there are none or very few, it's a major red flag. If there are also positive, they're not necessarily fake, but maybe this person has very low expectations overal

Intrigued, I checked again. It's at 21.5 MB now. I wonder to what extent is the difference caused by platform implementation (Mac vs. Win), and to what extent by the content (admittedly my notes aren't media-heavy).

It's taking advantage of the system overall, because it's based on abusing the trust implied by the rating system. As a user, I'm reading a positive review of a place and I'm unaware this review was posted in exchange fo
