They were :) Before I took the time to write a vim syntax file I just used the Rust one with a couple of tweaks and the syntax was close enough that it sort of worked.

I agree completely. I couldn't believe it when he made that Frame struct and completely abused RAII just to execute some code at the beginning and end of a block. The only really big wins were the wrappers for writing to different memory locations, all of which could have been implemented in C using macros or inline functions.

I'm not familiar with this concept. What are the benefits?

Or as I've recently taken to calling it, the GNU+ACM Software System Award.

With `[a] -> Maybe a`, it's not so bad if you use `catMaybes` from Data.Maybe.

map transform . catMaybes . map safeHead

What does B/E stand for?

"You are a married lady older than 32 who makes more than $52,000/year You're either a married, middle-aged lady ... or you use your phone like one."

19 year old male. The only apps that I have on their list are YouTube and Google Maps.

Presumably for the same reason that people prefer native applications on iOS / Android to using web applications in mobile browsers.

This approach allows you to tailor the controls and the display to the specific application, thus creating a more pleasant experience.

Have you tried using HN in lynx?

It counts characters rather than bytes. Maybe it's a GNU thing?

EDIT: It appears to be part of POSIX wc.

AFAIK, the force of gravity propagates at light-speed, so every particle in the universe is not being acted upon by every other particle in the universe via gravity, because the distance between some particles is increasing faster than that due to the expansion of the universe.

Sorry- but you mean that you didn't eat anything at all for 23 days? And you felt energized?

I think something else that could have impacted their results is that for some people, the knowledge that they are being tested changes the way they think/perform quite drastically. When I sit at a desk and do menial work, I get restless and my productivity plummets. But if you tell me that I'm being assessed, and you give me a straightforward task, I will have no trouble focusing on it for at least an hour. Maybe treadmill desks help you stay on task, but at the same time inhibit your cognitive performance slightly.
