Your reddit is leaking.

We were taught to use Mrs. unconditionally, and it was explained as a modern PC-rooted shift in formal written English. This was 30+ years ago.

Unrelated, but it's a nice signature.

Not everyone's cup 'o tea, but there's a letter search puzzles too:

Glasswire royally f*cked all the goodwill by going subscription-only.

Such unadulterated greed, it was painful to watch as it unfolded.


> the key was to train them properly

How very Apple of them.


Apple users train each other.

Its the same device and software ever year. Nothing new to train.

Kind of. What changes is whether this year you're holding it wrong or you shouldn't be taking your device to a non humidity and dust controlled environment. That's what the users teach each other and the rest of us. :)

(I even heard "it's good for a laptop to be heavy" in the early 2000s)


Conventionally, loops with <= is very much a Pascal thing, not C.

There is nothing clearer about your way unless someone is just starting with C.

'while (i--)k is a shortcut, which might seem terse when one first encounters it, it is a well-established and trivial to understand construct. On the other hand, your embellishment only adds pointless friction when reading the code.


YMMV, but I found Daemon rather unreadable. Both in writing and the content.

Definitely not even in the same ballpark as Gibson, or even Stephenson.


Any rule is as good as its enforcement.

The plank rule just exists, not enforced, so nobody observes it.

Same will happen with the high-tech regulation. In fact, it is already happening left and right where it does exist.


We see see two failure modes in the US, and I assume they are universal. On the small scale, enforcers don't enforce, because of resource constraints, and higher up the food chain, the enforcers are the ones breaking the law.
