C is the first language I learned and I think it’s a terrible language full of inconsistencies, footguns and unnecessary complexity.

Sorry for being pedantic, but the set of rational numbers has the same cardinality (size) as the set of natural numbers, so it’s not “uncountably larger” (in fact, it’s countable). You should’ve chosen the real numbers for your example, which are uncountable.

What is ridiculous about it? What do you see as the difference between moderation and censorship?

I’m not citing the author to add credibility, just to give credit.

For HTML, it’s to distinguish “standards mode” HTML from “quirks mode” HTML (which doesn’t need a header).

Moderation is when you take down material because the recipient doesn't want to see it. Censorship is when you take down content because you don't want the recipient to see it, regardless of how the recipient feels about it.

The unlocking flow is slower. With the fingerprint scanner, I just put my finger on the screen and go. With face recognition, I have to turn on the screen, wait for it to pick me up, then swipe to unlock.

I definitely agree that it’s mutilation. I was pointing out the whataboutism that occurs every time someone talks about male circumsision.

I know :) But here I have a special reason to care, which is too complex to explain in a short comment.

If I could convince my friend to stop smoking.

The bartender first peacefully told the Nazi to leave, and after the Nazi refused, the bartender threatened them with the bat, without actually using it. Do you really not see the difference from randomly punching someone on the street as you walk past them?

Or would you also say that there is no difference between a police officer threatening someone with a gun after they refuse arrest, versus immediately shooting them on sight?

Am I having hallucinations from being awake at 3 in the night, or are the comments tilted? And there are buttons with nonsense words?
