People in a coma are still considered real human beings. The reason why you'd pull the plug is because there is no prospect of survival, or that the resources necessary are too great. Which, as much as it sucks, is a normal thing that happens. People die.

Intentionally breeding people that have no intelligence is a very different thing and I don't even know why we're talking about it as if it's even remotely similar.

What I like is practical and real life, what I don't like is ideological.

This requires a justification for why home size is a good indicator of quality of life, or for why it's more important than other indicators.

Many americans put the euro sign before the numerical value even though most (afaik all) countries that use the euro put it after. This is such a weird thing to get bothered by.

Yes it's invite-based, and yes it actually is lobsters, a fork of it.

The lack of such tooling may be precisely why many potentially great "indie" languages never succeed.

They meant that the implementation of a four-function calculator only needs a few fixed variables rather than a stack.

The amount of braking you can apply before flying over the handlebars decreases significantly the more you move the center of gravity forward.

I'm comparing more to 2010s cars :)

I think it's a pretty good balance between visibility and comfort. But I can definitely see your point.

> Are there new cars with warm LED lights?

I don't know actually, but I've definitely not seen any on the road. I wonder why, as far as I know it's not a technical issue.

The cold LED headlights also strain your eyes more as the driver. It's much less comfortable to look at IMO.

Huh, I hadn't realized you can't search for submission domains, that seems like an oversight. To search for comments specifically there's a dropdown in the top left by the way.

Fair enough, though I think the techniques that the author uses are perfectly adequate depending on the type and scale of software you're writing. Maybe it should be better labelled.

As for searching, if you scroll down to the bottom of the page there's a search box, you can add your username to the query and it'll match.

You're right, but I meant the consequences for him from this point on, which are essentially as if he hadn't done anything.

What exactly is your objection?

With a full pardon it's as if he never did anything in the first place.

It's a bit big for my hands as well, but the huge touch screen is amazing for programs like sunvox so I don't even mind.

I think it's hard to genuinely appreciate how big the thing is until you hold it. Today I realized it's exactly the same size as my keyboard. And almost as wide as a 12-inch macbook.

The formatting is off, family time is 17:00-21:00 in GP's comment.

On almost every newline, which is the reason why this doesn't work:

    func thing()
    {

I quite like this approach. It's very simple and consistent, and once you know how it works it's not ever surprising.

Because now you have to jump around in order to see the sequence of events, which can be very frustrating if you have to constantly switch between two of these functions.

Plus, if we're dealing with a "long list of tasks" that can't be broken up in reusable chunks, it probably means that you need to share some context, which is way easier to do if you're in the same scope.

One thing I find useful is to structure it in blocks instead, so you can share things but also contain what you don't want shared. So e.g. in rust you could do this:

    let shared_computation = do_shared_computation();
    
    let result_one = {
        let result = do_useful_things();
        other_things(&shared_computation);
        result
    }
    
    ...

I think it's a nice middleground. But you still can't write modular tests. But maybe you don't have to, because again, this is just a long list of tasks you need to do that conceptually can't be broken down, so maybe it's better to just test the whole thing as a unit.
