Being alive and fertile does not imply that you will reproduce. There are other genetic factors that may lower chances of reproducing, like having any kind of flaw that makes given specimen "unattractive" for other specimens.

Instapaper was a sort of nice utility that blocked EU users after May last year. Fortunately there are alternatives, some of them arguably superior (pinboard?).

I know it might sound like a wild concept, but let's consider. Is it possible that there are multiple people, who have different opinions, even though they are expressing them on the same forum?

Woah, crazy. Compared to her better known projects, it's hard to believe she was in any way connected to this one.

I would say it's the other way around. You made a tactless and judgemental comment on a sarcastic remark.

This is not even true in C. 0 is a "null pointer literal" when used in pointer context, this does not imply that the actual null pointer has a value of zero.

It's neither an analogy nor simplification. When he speaks about "compiler state" he means "preprocessor symbol table state". When preprocessor processes a file its state is mutated -- symbols get defined, redefined

Alright, I haven't thought about that. Yes, definitely certification is another option.

Yeah, the only way I can imagine it working is forcing everyone to open source their code. It doesn't sound very realistic.

Console manufacturers have a different revenue model. They get money from games sold for their platform, this allows them to sell hardware with low margin or even at loss.

It's even better. Start a project for fun in existing field and people will question why did you even start it. Projects X, Y and Z already exist and have features A, B and C which you haven't implemented yet, how dare you?
