As well it should. Comparable activity: let's ride around the neighborhood and see who hides a key under a rock. Then let ourselves in and look around.

No, that's what I felt like deserved comment. Compare to recent events in the US. It isn't cool for media to disparage people who aren't given opportunity to speak for themselves. As far as offended, no?

Probably more a message to some politicians than to amazon. The political divide in this country is insurmountable. Just listen to Ben Shapiro's opinion on events, and then NPR's. Stark, polar opposites. It is impossible for the a

Perhaps this is unreasonable as well, but maybe ongoing developments in society have caused you to focus a little too much of your attention on gender. Gender dysphoria is a recognized medical condition, for which there are suggested plans

I'm way out of practice with C++. (It's been since like 2006.) Framebuffer clear function appears to allocate a new vector. Does std::vector automatically handle the memory releases? This is called every frame, so I wanted to chec

Why are dotfiles generally considered "hidden" and not to be served (such as .htaccess, .env, etc) but .well-known is expressly intended to be served? It should have just been named well-known, IMO.

I believe that "non-refundable" and "as-is" are going the way of the dodo with the millennial generation. It seems past generations were much more willing to accept large corporation policies than the current ones.

The only integration you can trust is one with a contract in place, and probably one you are paying for access to. I think the days of monetizing a cobbling of free services are limited.
