Someone who in principle has a very high "Athletic Quotient" may be relatively bad at this depending on how many times they've attempted it before the test. A good AQ test would hopefully control for this? Though my understan

I think this could be more interesting if it was a superset of C++ that allowed for brevity in some cases. Something that could: 1. Act as a preprocessing step for any existing C++ file 2. Output perfectly servicable C++ in the case where y

I can't see how #6 would be a larger problem than the others unless all existing microelectronics disappeared overnight, which doesn't seem like a real concern.

I see your point, and it looks like I replied to the wrong person. Your points likely apply to my read-later and do-later groups. (I might argue, but should probably take it to heart first). My point about bookmarks and pocket not filling m

A common response. As a reluctant user of tree style tabs (holding out for the restoration of tab groups), I disagree. I usually have different sets of tabs open: - A set for each of the 2-3 projects I have active this month - Casual
