The linked article in the post especially specifies that it doesn't work well at all and has it's own limitations and recommends using pattern + type=number together and then adds like a ton of workarounds on top of that. The patt

Personally I really dislike multiple choice question format, as they often end in "gotcha" type of questions or overthinking of the question. In the exams of my university (for computer science) they are rare (most exams have at m

Interesting, I misunderstood the info I got while traveling there. The way the border agents phrased it I required esta as well as an additional form, but the website I checked now says I wouldn't have needed the esta as you said! For

I (as a eu citizen) think calling esta, eta, etias and the like "visa-free travel" is wrong and implementing it as a replacement for actual visa freedom is a step in the wrong direction. Having it as an intermediate step is great,

Tit for tat is, as far as I know, very common in diplomatic relationships between countries. The EU wants it's citenzens treated the same, the way you phrased it already accepts that it's the case for the US. The equivalent would

Valid characters are usually not the full ASCII set at all, so why not pick and chose from unicode as well? Or why not full unicode text support? Is there any real reason besides "some people might want emoji and I don't like that

Aren't you then trapped, as implementing a backdoor in foreign software on foreign soil on command of a different state might lead to charges of espionage in the country you are residing in?

Can you back this up? This doesn't seem to be as true as your "Lets be honest" introduction claims it is. Even more, it seems like a needlessly polarizing cynical opinion to me.

The good part is, you can (mostly) still program as if it was c++03, but you can move on from that part by part. Start adding auto, continue to lambdas, start using range for loops. Or you can go on and, whenever you have a question about c
