People in a coma are still considered real human beings. The reason why you'd pull the plug is because there is no prospect of survival, or that the resources necessary are too great. Which, as much as it sucks, is a normal thing that happens. People die.

Intentionally breeding people that have no intelligence is a very different thing and I don't even know why we're talking about it as if it's even remotely similar.

> Are there new cars with warm LED lights?

I don't know actually, but I've definitely not seen any on the road. I wonder why, as far as I know it's not a technical issue.

The cold LED headlights also strain your eyes more as the driver. It's much less comfortable to look at IMO.

Huh, I hadn't realized you can't search for submission domains, that seems like an oversight. To search for comments specifically there's a dropdown in the top left by the way.

Fair enough, though I think the techniques that the author uses are perfectly adequate depending on the type and scale of software you're writing. Maybe it should be better labelled.

As for searching, if you scroll down to the bottom of the page there's a search box, you can add your username to the query and it'll match.
