I think the reason that comment was downvoated is because "you need to read more about the issue" is not a rational argument. In the wrong context, it may even sound like an ad hominem.

I share the same experience. It's not like we can no longer have those by the way, I've never been bothered by ads like Carbon Ads for instance. They're usually relevant (ads for code analysis tools or JetBrains IDEs on cppre

I think there's a difference between watching through a screen what it known to be fiction and going to see with your own eyes the remains of a murdered child as described in the article.

I wonder when the fascination for the dead left place to our modern sense of body sacredness. Is it our because of WW1 which killed so many young men and left many mutiled, or the Spanish flu afterwards, or because modern medicine taught us

Your take very exaggerated to say the least. Note that the Tesla was not part of the pile-up, the car behind it braked in time. But it takes only one driver to be a little too close to the car in front of them or to react a little too slowl

There's branching involved in the minmax operation, so it'll always be slower than (x|y) - ((x^y)>>1).

They do apply a lot of fuzzing tests actually and the kernel maintainers also contribute state-of-the-art dynamic analysis tools like UBSAN to check for undefined behaviors or leaks.

I've actually seen it quite regularly in vulgarised science pieces. Areas of 1ha (10000m squared) are often compared to a soccer pitch.

I use Konsole when I use Plasma and urxvt when I use Xmonad. Konsole is a no-brainer, it comes with the desktop environment and I like the ctrl+/ctrl- shortcuts to change the font size. urxvt is more customizable, when I feel like it (

Uh? No, I think the point is that labels "Made in Turkey" ran the risk of being lazily translated to "Fabriqué en Dinde" in French by a misconfigured automatic translation software and you no longer have this problem if

One thing dd does for me, that cp and cat do not, is that it forces me to read and check the command at least three times before pressing enter, which is a very good thing when messing with raw devices. When I first learned that dd was not

The particular problem you're describing is our (I'm French too) very specific issue with the sound "h" I think. Same with "th".
