  • also a fun fact, while commercial aviation is very safe, private planes are much more dangerous, being almost as dangerous per mile as a regular car (and you get a lot more miles per hour of travel)

  • that works for 2 word names eg is_open or is_file, but in this case is_dialog_file_open is structured like a question, while dialog_file_is_open is structured like a statement

  • void *

    Jump

  • as many iterations as it takes

     
        
void* x = &x;
char* ptr = (char*)&x;

while (1) {
    printf("%d\n", (unsigned int)*ptr);
    ptr--;
}

  • What would your father say?

    Jump

  • that's based entirely on 4chan's advertising demographic claims which I'm not sure if they should be given much credence given there is no information at all about how it was determined.

    Also the statistic is at least 10 years old without being updated, and could even be much older

  • monospace means the width of the "whole" character is always the same, but the width of the visible part of the character is not (imagine how large the dot would have to be for that to work)
