I think the most obvious example is loop unrolling. An unrolled loop can be many times more code, but runs faster because you're not updating a counter or doing conditional jumps.
The former is typical of British RP, and the latter is found in General American (though it varies regionally). So it really just depends on who you're taking to.
To your questions, I would use "German" and "mispronunciation".
In general it seems odd that they've got Windows and Mac as monoliths, while the various distros are broken out individually but "Linux" is apparently not an aggregate.
Yeah I have a dal recipe that calls for "whole dry red chili", "green chili", and "red pepper".
I do my best to interpret this (usually arboles, poblanos, and cayenne, respectively) and I like the result, but I do sometimes wonder what the author intended.
Like many crappy things these days, the name and some of the concept were stolen from good sci-fi. Snow Crash, in this case, in which it was as if the entire Internet was VR.
Which, the Web barely existed when that book was written, so wild visions of what the Internet might turn out to be were to be expected. And something like it remains a common cyberpunk trope to this day.
That said, I disagree with the other poster that it will ever happen, let alone is inevitable.
I'm sufficiently unfamiliar with New York that I had to look it up, but Rochester and Tribeca appear to be at opposite ends of the state and are presumably not served by the same physical Target store. Displaying the actual price at a location near you seems completely reasonable to me, if that's what they're doing.
But yes, there should be a mandate to explain what data is being used and how.
I don't know the z80 specifically, but it's probably an assembly keyword for a special bit ("flag") that indicates if the result of the previous operation was nonzero.
You say that as though testicles can't be ornamental. (Or festive, sparkly, etc.)
