It's different for surgery, in a hospital, if that's what you are referring to. But for take-home use, it's nearly non-existent in much of Europe.

Believe it or not, this concept of having strong pain killers available to the public is somewhat American-centric. Much of Europe does not consider the need for strong pain killers available in society, and pain tolerance is quite differen

Counterpoint: elephants.

No; elephants are a good example of animals with relatively low cancer rates.

> who grew up in a normal family Aw, but only normal in disguise! The official definition of a dysfunctional family is “a family with more than one person”.

> I was making the point that it's a North American thing No you weren't. To use your style, if YOU want to play along and be pedantic, then your edit wasn't about North America, it was about just the U.S. and Canada.

> a cost to submit your app for review They charge you to submit an app? Is this new? When I worked as an iOS developer this was not a thing but that was many years ago.

If you actually want to be pedantic, note that I did not say all countries, therefore my original statement was just as correct as your edit.

> particularly bad as a language for UI programming in general. Interesting statement, considering how there are many popular and highly influential user interface frameworks in C++.

In most places in the world, the word “pumpkin“ refers to squash. A squash pie is also a pumpkin pie.

In most countries outside the US, squash is called pumpkin.

It’s about the policies and the culture that the leadership evokes, just like the leader of a country. It does matter who is in charge.

Just think about how many politicians feel. They have to speak to actual dicks every day, and some of them have to actually be a dick all day.

> Well that’s a completely false statement. There’s nothing false about whether you can write an app entirely in C++ or not. The only languages you can do this with are Swift and ObjC. You cannot get a window up, access platform features

C++ is not first class on Apple platforms. The main APIs are only in Swift or ObjC. You can use C++ in your app, but you will need an actual first-class language to interact with the OS and UI.

I love how Apple has somewhat come full circle on C++. There was a time they somewhat shunned the language publicly and highly discouraged anyone from using it in apps. A lot changed a few years ago when they started dedicating WWDC session

1Password works great for me on macOS and iOS. What am I missing?

It’s obviously hyperbole. It makes a point about how to improve your mental health by taking care of your physical health.

Assembly is still used in whole program coding to this day, for example some modern music synthesizers are written in assembly code.

It would seem you have not actually seen the marketing before commenting on it.

I’m assuming you don’t live in the United States or have never had the reason to take frequent road trips.

Cool! But I would’ve preferred sliders over dials. Or a combination of the two. Sliders are particularly useful when controlling multiple parameters in real time performance, where dials basically make that impossible. It’s quite normal for

std::endl is actually not advised most of the time. Using \n is the better alternative unless you need a buffer flush.

As a great person myself, I can attest this is true: I’m good at pretty much everything.

It comes in very useful in other applications, though. Particularly when you’re drawing, you need to zoom in rotate the canvas.
