I guess now we will find out just how important element of surprise is for Apple marketing. And prediction: in the future they will separate all new hardware features to .1 release (iOS 12.1, etc).

Well, yes, but it is randomness of a mistake - not randomness of the language. If you are going to shoot yourself in the foot, I guess the wound would be pretty randomly located - but that is not the fault of the gun manufacturer.

In your example, the cause of the collapse would be that developer drove a tank onto the bridge and didn't bother to check the weight limits beforehand. If you forgot to initialise the variable before using it - it's your problem,

It is not broken, it just assumes more responsibility than most developers are willing to accept.

My beef here is with the word 'random'. Mistakes don't make for random crashes - hard to trace perhaps, but not random.

Exactly! C++ is a language where you are free to choose level of safety. None of your examples are a fault of the language - it is a fault of developer not doing necessary safety checks.

If you had 'random crashes', you probably weren't that good with C++ ...

The main cost factor for airlines is the price of fuel - which is mostly affected by weight of cargo. How about they charge heavier people more - that's usually not genetics, so seem mor fair. Oh, and I'm not suggesting this becau

Is it still the case in America? In Germany and UK pizza 'boys' tend to be middle aged immigrants.

The subject of mental activity and thinking in languages is deeply fascinating to me. 12 years ago, at the age of 24 I moved to the UK (after being born and living in Russia until I was 21, and then spending 3 years in Germany - in English-

False equivalence. Unlike with personal electronics, real estate typically does not exist in a bubble and affects lives of other people living nearby. Both you and your neighbours would be affected by noise or lack of trash disposal. If the

If the ban would only affect law abiding citizens, then why aren't the criminals described here using already banned knives or guns?

You already know the answer to all of these questions, stop posturing. Yes, Microsoft kept old versions of IE and Control Panel for compatibility - but you don't get to access them unless you really want to. As for full screen browser,

That is because they still haven't fully adopted "new" file format association APIs (introduced with Windows 7).

Hay fever can disappear in older age (just like it can suddenly appear in mid-age). I first experienced mine at 33 - without any gradual changes in the years before that; just suddenly, out of nowhere, full blown hay fever. One of my relati

There aren't that many leaving simultaneously - plus they tend to be slotted into the same group of platforms.

Once people see others walking towards a platform (particularly if they just checked something on their phones), they tend to do the same.

Another Microsoft property they don't know what to do with. Ten years ago I used Skype a lot - to keep with my parents in another country, but recently I removed it completely. We switched to FaceTime and Facebook Messenger long time a

Original iPad only had iOS 5 - so no such luck. Same applies for pre-3GS iPhones and first 3 generations of iPod Touch.
