No way anyone buys it off Musk for what he paid for it. It wasn't worth that when he bought it, and he's only lowered it's reputation, advertising income, market position and internal abilities. Not to mention the various leg

As tradeoffs go, I don't see opening a dozen files as a big hurdle. I'd take smaller single purpose files over one big file anyday. Plus how often do you need to see all functions? If there's a problem in RectangleArea functi

In general if you're using it for legit purposes it's hard to take a domain taken even for big brands. You have it first, and unless you're using it for a competitor or to defame them it's hard to claim malice. They shou

This was really fun to mess about with. Interesting how some balloons take very similar paths for a bit, but then go on an entirely separate second stage. UK and Norway can follow a very similar path to get to the US, but then Norway's

When you say "emphasis on" you mean the single mention with no distinction between that stat and the any other of the facts of the case? I don't think they really put any weight on if that's a lot or not. Personally I wo

Is there really a value of a max-char rule these days? Editors can scroll, softwrap and usually do neither as screens are large anyway. A max-indent rule makes sense to highlight when you're nested too deep and should refactor, but a l
