If you do Assert(ExpensiveOp()), removing all of it is only a valid optimization if ExpensiveOp() is 100% side-effect free. But even when that is the case, the compiler won't inline ExpensiveOp() and go through the effort of proving th

I think the parent's point was that it might seem questionable to find penises and vaginas disgusting. There is a healthy reason to find feces and defecation disgusting - feces carry diseases and are a waste product. Sexuality is not.

You need to look at the ground. Right moves your ship to the right, but also shifts the camera to the right, so you can see where you're going. That results in the ship actually moving to the left side of the frame.

SVG is not very well suited for favicons. At that size, you often want to hand-tune the single pixels.

As the author mentioned, you should use Zotero for that.

That is intended behavior. Game ending moves are not allowed. See the explanatory blog post: https://incoherency.co.uk/blog/stories/chess-steg.html

I absolutely agree – it's the specific usage in the class that I don't like. Having a factory instead of using the constructor, with that IMHO not that obvious interaction with the context manage. A factory that is actually a cont

The difference between `lambda` and `for` vs `iota` is that the former are key concepts and often reserved keywords. There is only a very small amount of those. `iota` on the other hand is just one of many standard library functions. There

This has its roots in a very strong anti-nuclear movement from the seventies. Why it was that strong in Germany, I don't know. But there is a Wikipedia article – maybe it has some information for you: https://en.wikipedia.or

I think you misunderstood the way these reference locations work. Both google maps and bing will resolve the given plus code to the exact same location – a margin of error of 0cm. It's only important that the reference point doesn&#x27

This article describes a way to split a square into three non-overlapping regions that all have the same border. It is very counterintuitive that this is possible. If you imagine a line on a square, you can define two parts of the square th
