C is used in a lot of platforms. Js only in the browser (thankfully mostly converged) and in node.

What is the build tool used in the javascript world this week? Broccoli? Grunt? Gulp? Talp? Just dealing with breaking changes in any one of those is a full time job!

And regarding slashes: are you bemused that unix does not support them in filenames? (Thanks for correcting the nul reference)

Depends very much on your programming environment: on Python I don"t care, but when doing bash scripting or makefiles (very often) I very much care. I have recently decided to stop using $ in passwords (defined by me) for that same rea

You can prevent your tools from having to deal with the fact, by preprocessing.

And nulls? And quotes? And dollars? And any unicode char?

Your tools support filenames with tabs? With any unicode char? A real world possibility.

I could provide a vagrant based repo that lets you spawn your ubuntu VM for dev in minutes. I'll try to get it in github.

If we insist on reporting by gender (that is questionable in itself) reporting must be truthful, otherwise we risk that these reports are not taken seriously. I am sure women are better than men at a lot of things, and equally good at other

Being good and being capable are different things: I am very capable of cleaning toilets, but I am not very good at it since I do not do it with a passion. Edit: and I obviously do not imply with my tongue in cheek joke that women are the

I would take the whole equality movement more seriously if I had been able, in the past decade, to spot a negative news article / report on women. When you get all the time exclusively negative news about men, you could start thinking

With the full support of the US government /s If it was in the US hand, Snowden would be rotting in Guantanamo. As said, the US is criminal and incompetent. Luckily there are other global players balancing power.

The US does not silence you until it does (ask Snowden, if you find him). And, more importantly, its game does not require silencing political oponents as long as they are irrelevant (communism in todays US), but extending soft-power around

I do not know, maybe their ideology is more fair?

As has the US, to the point (just one example) of lying on the Security Council to justify taking control of relevant geopolitical resources. It didnt even work. Not only covertly America First, but also incompetent.

The US has been the champion of free trade assuming that it was win-win or that if would win when others loose. As soon as it looses while others are winning (in some areas) they are trying to bend (again) the rules on their favor. The Amer

You can probably buy a spot in Michelin. Whether that happens frequently or is accepted is an interesting question.

I agree that professional food critics are making public their opinion, backed by their reputation. But nothing can be inferred about this opinion being honest, since it can be (and is surely often) bought.

First, what bitcoin tries to replace in the banking industry is not so clear cut. It could be payments, but also investment (value store), funding, and even credit. This very much depends on how successful and flexible the technology turns
