The government where the commercial company is based expects the company to do so, and will hold that company accountable if they do not. You may not agree with this situation, but it is how it works. The US government will investigate and

Seinfeld is an outlier, I think, because the characters are purposefully unsympathetic. You like watching the characters, but you don't like them. You wouldn't want to spend time with them. That means you're never rooting

Avoiding this was one of the brilliant parts of The Good Place: after the first episode, I thought I knew where the rest of the season was going to go. I was completely wrong, and they fulfilled that arc in the first three episodes. I think

I have a personal theory where the character from 30 Rock, Tracy Jordan as played by Tracy Morgan, is an example of reverse Flanderization. In the first episode, his character has a breakdown and is wandering the Brooklyn Bridge in diaper

No. But when it's not explicitly mentioned as support, it can appear as an implicit contradiction to readers. We also want the discussion about an article to build on what the article proposes, and explicitly tying comments to the ar

The main use case is not forgetting to free resources. It's when you do have resource-freeing code, but it's tricky to make sure you free only the resources you know for sure you have already allocated. This is common in the Lin

Despite the freedom not to, many authors still break down their novels into roughly equal length chapters.

I meant that you stated the syndication threshold as the sole reason for filler, and as I tried to explain, there were other thresholds at play.

I think you're discounting the in-season requirements that the networks had. They would usually require on the order of 23 episodes for a season, and sell advertiser time during those episodes months in advance. Hence the prevalence of

What you're talking about is already happening, but we still call them "tv shows." A great recent example is The Queen's Gambit. It's adapted from a novel, which "normally" would become a movie. But instea

Agreed, and this one of the worst aspects of our PhD system - graduate students need to have a body of work that is theirs . Even amongst a collaboration, they need to carve out sections that are unquestionably theirs so they can defend a

Yes, in addition to the atomics and memory ordering primitives added in the C++11 standard [1], I find the Boost lock-free structures quite reasonable [2]. (Yes, I'm aware some have an automatic aversion to Boost. But it is well-design

This sort of requirement is met by compile time computations. I know C++11, D and Rust have them, and I imagine many more languages do as well. The need for this sort of thing clearly has not gone away, we're just moving away from a fr
