I'd suspect that OP was referring to the first century CE when Christianity could be said to have "won out" over Judaism, and yes then Jewish people often were racist in that way, just like people of most cultures then. Nowad

The thing is, you can 100% learn the gap if some is missed. The problem comes when the gap isn't filled at all and then the prerequisites for future material aren't there. I don't think that will be the case with the current

Alternatively, OP could be answered by someone saying that this is already being done. And apparently it is in some form, according to a sibling comment of yours. Maybe that’s incorrect, but you chose the least charitable interpretation ins

I don’t know much about git hooks, but I think that it would be fairly simple to wrote a small one that parses the changes for the todo comment and then calls to Gitlab’s API. Double points for closing the ticket if the todo comment is remo

Just offer a -Wpure flag for checking if functions are pure. That way production/test releases can check while you can still use it for debugging. Also, the problem with eliding breakpoints already exists afaik, since the compilers alr

One concern is that you can’t always trust the Wikipedia link. For example, in this edit [1] to the Equifax page, a spammer changed the link to a spam site. They’re usually fixed quickly, but it’s not guaranteed. So it’s a really neat proje
