If it’s a language I’m not familiar with, I won’t consider applying, so that’s where the story ends in my case. I could be an outlier though…?

The flag check could be deep within a loop, how would you split it then without repeating the whole method?

But cars objectively are a huge waste of space. Cars designed for 5 persons have an average usage of one and a half per ride. The passenger space is 3 times bigger than it needs to be. They are a waste of space.

I agree. We don't design cities around my needs. We don't design cities around anyone's needs. We design cities around cars. There is an alternative type of city design talked about in detail in these videos (the style is a b

Your life expectancy is how old you will likely be when you'll die. It doesn't go down when you do something harmless for 60 minutes, you just... get 60 minutes older ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ So yeah, what this means is you lose 80 minutes

I have used public transport since I was 14. I'm twice that age now. I never needed a car to get anywhere.

How about: stop building parking lots altogether and replace the ones we already built with things that are actually useful. Cars are nothing but a huge waste of space.

So it's fair to say that Germany's reliance on lignite could be nonexistent by now if they didn't keep decommissioning their reactors?

As a programmer, I have a trivial way of finding out if a solution I found on the internet really works: run it. What is the equivalent procedure for doctors?

Maybe it was such an honorable craft that people were more likely to name themselves after it compared to other trades?

If the police/border protection/etc ever took your fingerprints, don't worry, they'll get to them too. Maybe with even less effort than would be required for your password, depending on how diligently you protect your pa

I know this analogy is not pedantic but it's fun to imagine the same argument with physical keys. Lose your hands and you won't be able to use your house key. Lose your house key and you'll have nothing to use. Lose your mind
