That's why I said "not that I know". The parent comment said that people may speculate that someone who refuses to drink might be alcoholic, but there are also people who don't drink for religious reasons, obviously. In

Yes, articles like this illustrate that RMS had a point, as annoying as he can be about it. Android is obviously Linux. What's missing is all of the things GNU and BSD brought to the party.

Or you could notice that author's last name, which might indicate another reason that he doesn't drink (not that I know that this is the reason for his choice).

I missed a plane flight once because an admin for the company I was working with booked a midnight flight accidentally and I thought it was at noon (I think she thought so as well). I think it was in the 90s sometime.

The app would have to get much larger if they have to bundle most of a browser with it to avoid using the browser components on the phone. But sure, they could do that. But to be in the app store an app has to comply with the rules. Google

In the code I write and review I care about the buffer-flush semantics and will revise, or ask for a revision, if excessive flushing will result from too many std::endl uses when generating large volumes of output. It isn't just an aca

Nope. The equivalent in C++ is not std::cout << "hello world" << std::endl; but is, rather, std::cout << "hello world\n"; The std::endl doesn't just print an '\n' character, it also does

Up until about 2003 or so, scaling worked near-perfectly, so geometries were essentially the same from generation to generation. This meant that one number, describing minimum feature size, told you what you needed to know. Eventually leaka

The plan for California high speed rail was to replace plane flights and long distance car travel, not to have frequent stops (at least 40 miles/65 km between stops, sometimes longer). Only the major cities.

Many 18th century writers of English capitalized nouns the way it's done in German. For example, the US Constitution does this. But it was already going away by then.
