I find if/else to be more confusing than ternary operators. One of the reasons is that it always defines what the else clause is, while that usually doesn't happen when using if.

I'd agree that someone who is not used ternary operators might be confused with this, as I have been before, but I find it to be much cleaner now that I've been using it. It's also a little harder to debug.

One thing that really annoyed me in some monospaced fonts with ligatures is the [] ligature, I never understood why would someone rather see a box instead of two brackets. I'm no typographer, but I think that it makes the text lose its uniformity, because [] and [0] will look weird close to each other.

I guess I'm not alone in this, because in the Fira Code repo there's this commit from 2 months ago: "Remove [] ligature from specimen".

IDK how NLL's ACR works, but Android API doesn't expose audio output devices because it could lead to piracy issues, such as recording whatever is playing on Spotify. I don't think there's a way to bypass that, and if there were it would probably be banned from Google Play Store.

The point of exclusivity is creating a safe space for women; for men most spaces are safe spaces - I can assert that as a male.

It doesn't mean, though, that we can deal with toxic masculinity without men being involved. I do remember seeing some serious effort within Thoughtworks (and I haven't even worked there) to discuss gender issues without excluding men, so it's not a impossible thing.

What kind of projects you work on? I think I'd have some difficult coding on a machine with 2GB of RAM.

Example pictures are kind of small, hard to see the quality of the result. Also, I'd use this for a Kindle device, not an iPad, so it'd be also good to see how it looks in a Kindle.

How does it compare to PDFLower?

Arnold said he's got help from lots of people and it's very likely that most of them didn't get anything in return. Were these people adept of ethical egoism, none of them would've helped him.

I'm a Sansei in Brazil, which essentially means most people think I'm Japanese while the Japanese think I'm not, so I've peeked both sides and I can tell you this: yes, childhood in Japan can be amazing, but certainly Japanese culture in general isn't about independence, it's actually quite the opposite, it's about order and individuals adhering to his/her role in this order. "Do as your parents said, get into college, respect your boss." It's even kind of bittersweet that childhood in Japan is so good, because you'll grow up knowing what you've lost. On the other hand, it's also not all smell of flowers, because children being independent also means that if mom isn't home, you have to be the responsible sibling, it could be a form to shorten childhood.

Has anyone tried on Firefox? I'm running FF49 and in gen 50 it has less than 400 max score.

What about regenerative braking?

Paper says that "those in lambda group received no benefits in regard to [...] compiler errors".

Really, would anyone expect lambdas to improve compiler errors? Also, isn't that a problem of the compiler, and not of the lambda idiom in C++ or C++ language itself?

I mean, idk about clang, but at least compiler errors from msvc and gcc have always been hard to understand, with or without lambdas.
