While it could be better, 70 million households is not 2x very few. I can only imagine you’re going off very outdated information. Of those 70 so million with fiber available about 30 million actually use it.

The short answer, no. The state of Caps Lock is entirely in host software, to the keyboard it is just another key. To get what you’re looking would require some very expensive mechanical contraption to reflect the state of the LED. And then

While 30 million is too much, that’s less than 10% of the population. In the most populated areas it’s most common to have a duopoly. Sucks but “I don’t think there are many places that aren’t Comcast only” is not close to being accurate. T

Let me guess, you did a TextField, not a CupertinoTextField ? (It's 20% on release for me, still too much for a blinking cursor). Sure there may be some simple pathological bug in that one widget, but this quality issue in a fundament

Nonsense. The 1960s through 80s were when mafia awareness skyrocketed. In terms of pop culture, The Godfather came out in the 1970s! Anyway, Joseph Valachi and others turning states witness in the 60s broke down much of the secrecy. The RIC

Chicago has an abundance of deep narrow lots. It isn't uncommon to have to have apartment units that are 14-15 (4.5m) feet wide and up to 80 feet (25m) long, a hallway runs on one side with bed/bathrooms adjacent. There is no way

But Try, catch and throw are in themselves not conditional, they are fancy gotos with bookkeeping. Those constructs don’t typically deal with conditions. However I think the notion that “flow control” has to do only with conditionals is not
