It sounds something like Little Saint James, U.S. Virgin Islands, but worse. It probably isn't as awful as Jonestown, but the potential is there.

The reasonable accommodation is to substitute with characters that are available in the ISO 646 ASCII variant being used, preferably the characters with the same binary representation as in US ASCII. Outside of silly games like IOCCC, did a

Another taboo is not loving them equally. I admit to regrets about some of them. I like the others very much. It's too bad I couldn't pick my kids by personality. The random draw has been mixed.

About that "promoting polarization", it takes two to polarize. You too have the option to cave. You are free to end the polarization at any moment. Demonizing the other size is impressively the other way. It's happening whene

It's not supposed to fail. Anything could fail, and yeah that sucks. If it fails on the first try, it will probably fail on the second try. Landing with gear up happens sometimes, and pilots are supposed to do a decent job with it. Lar

Plain old make will work. The older style would have a separate target for each platform that is supported. The newer style is more like how the Linux kernel build system works, with += operators in the Makefile to add options and put thing

It would be interesting to deploy the nose gear only when the main gear is in contact with the ground. You'd get better aerodynamic properties that way, because you'd never fly with the nose gear down.

We built cross platform tools with shared libs long before libtools existed. Removal would be best. Flex is OK. It doesn't produce clean warning-free idiomatic C99 (or even C11) source code. The historical defaults, for lex compatibili

That is mainly a density issue. Most people don't like density. At an ordinary population density, supermarkets are about 2 to 5 miles from each other, which is probably 3 to 7 miles by road. Large stores require many customers in orde

I think you really should have enough room for scaffolding. How are you going to take care of a wall that is physically touching your neighbor's wall? That wall ought to get inspected at least. It might need paint. If one house starts

It sure does seem that glass could be put to use. Ignoring food-safe containers and windows, there are still many things that could use it. Consider bricks, both traditional and in the style of the typical concrete block. These could be gla

Do you happen to have metal in your mouth, such as braces or fillings? This looks like a situation with dissimilar metals and an electrolyte. You might just have a battery.

I have experienced that VW ice warning. It was awful. First of all, the possibility of ice is obvious. No warning is needed. That is just silly. Second of all, it wasn't just a light. It was a loud noise. Third of all, the warning was

So you're Brazilian. Latinx, Latino, Latina are not normally used for all Latin-based languages. Italians and French don't qualify either, despite being Latin-based. (Quebec???) It's also not race; the Cherokee do not qualify

Oh yes. Hispanic is the correct term when speaking English. Latinx is a sign of wanting to show off Spanish (to virtue signal) but actually being intolerant of the way the language works. Values collided, and thus Latinx was born. Using the

All of that is false. I've seen people doing that stuff get yearly pay that is about the price of a house. That is good pay. I've seen stock given, and I've seen bonuses that seem nice, but it makes more sense to focus on pay

We pretty much banned teachers from removing kids from school. We decided that every kid has the right to be in school, mostly in the normal classrooms. You can see the result. Basically, every tool for controlling bad behavior gets labeled
