Todo lists are a concept most people can already relate to, so there's no need to go to great lengths to explain why the product is useful. Instead they can get away with focusing on a whimsical use-case that's conducive to demos. So it's p

In C++ you should be using the typesafe functions std::fill and std::copy instead of memset and memcpy.

Here's a quote from the application form: We look at online demos only for the most promising applications, so don't skimp on the application because you're relying on a good demo.

The prior probability of it being correct is so low that we should be flagging it, not upvoting it. There's many, many false "proofs" of P=?NP out there. If I write a paper formatted in LaTeX saying that I cloned a T-Rex in my backyard, sho
