How so? From [1] it would seem that Lisps (idiomatic ones at least), Python, Perl, Haskell and Ruby are all free from the possibility of integer overflow. That definitely doesn't sound like "nearly all code". [1] https:&#x2F

C-x C-+ increases font size, C-x C-- decreases font size if that's what you were looking for.

Might be due to the muscle mass needed to carry such a heavy body around? Big muscles waste energy, even doing nothing much at all.

Just curious, how come you don't have a minimum font size set up? I never run into this problem due to having done so, but I see a lot of people complaining about it...

1150 on my second try (thanks ridiculously multicultural upbringing), great game! I got a few immediate repeats of the same language; maybe preventing those would be a good idea?

I've always wondered what people mean when they say Lisp & co are hard to read. I'd think having great powers of abstraction would produce code that reads more easily. Of course you have to figure out what the abstractions do,

You could try strengthening your arches by doing appropriate exercise. Running barefoot does this (I run barefoot because it feels nice, but I noticed an increase in foot strength too). Start very slowly if you go that route; no more than a

Middle click causes tabs to open in the background in Firefox. IIRC cmd+click is a left click? Ctrl-click also seems to work (on Linux).

Good mobile browsers make sure every column of text gets reflowed to the width of your screen. Isn't this possible on iOS?

All those "paradigms" are artificial distinctions and can be used together perfectly well. Why do you consider mixing them bad?

Unlike WhatsApp, Facebook chat is accessible via standard non-federated XMPP, so you can use it with any XMPP client.

No, but you should have left out 'most probably'.

I agree that for most lifestyles getting enough protein as a vegetarian or vegan isn't hard. However, why would you suggest something exotic like quinoa instead of lentils and beans which have been used as a source of protein for millenia?

I guess not; people should design their web pages with em-based font sizes and have everything relative to the base font size specified by the browser. (Unless there's a good argument against this practice I'm not aware of.) If you're regul

IIRC most of these anti-bacterial soaps contain this stuff: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triclosan It doesn't seem to lead to resistance either, but that doesn't make using those products any more sensible.

Motorbike helmets are in no way comparable to bicycle helmets. Bicycle helmets have to be very light due to the physical activity exerted by their wearers. Another thing you'll rarely hear bicycle advocates say is that cycling on the paveme

Flemish is a dialect of Dutch and therefore they should present a Dutch language interface if available, but really the only sensible thing to do when detecting a Belgian IP is defaulting to English (or browser preference) and making it rea

Hate speech laws could just be limited to incitement of hatred (what I think was their original intention), i.e. 'Catholics are stupid' vs. 'We should kill all Catholics because they are stupid'. I'm having a hard time seeing any other inte

Always threaten with small claims court, and if they still won't honour the warranty just sue. Those judges will usually rule in your favour and Apple might not even send a representative.
