Agreed, it's an amusing and wholesome story. Shame we live in a world where not everyone agrees. As the author said, > The level of vitriol and outrage I have seen surrounding something as innocuous as an emoji has been awful. The h

Just scrolling through the list, it looked like many of them were blogs and personal websites. I'd be much more interested in seeing lean corporate websites, as those are made by teams with deadlines and requirements to actually look g

Depends on what 'average' you mean I guess. It is true for the median of course. However, if the time for an individual molecule to decay is exponentially distributed, you can solve for lambda to find its expected lifetime is 13.1

Well, by that reasoning, if you were coding in C, you would certainly think about it and ensure overflows won't happen. The fact is that if the compiler encounters undefined behaviour, it can do basically whatever it wants and it will
