The engine actually only made 150hp, but luckily there were 2 of them. Yes, they were certainly less efficient than modern engines. However, ICE engines have always had trade-offs between power output per size, mechanical efficiency and rel

That fwrite writes the contents of output to stdout . output probably contains all the output that doesn't depend on input (which this program doesn't have).

BOM is only a problem with strict syntaxes, which robots.txt is not an example of. If the "consumer" simply ignores invalid or meaningless lines, you can avoid issues from invisible characters by not having anything meaningful on

Yes and no. Technically that results in UB with many inputs with platforms that use a signed char type.

In Finland, all unemployed are guaranteed “free money” even if they choose not to seek employment. The difference from UBI is that this final security net, so to speak, only guarantees a minimum level of income – any earned wages (or existi

You can watch uBlock's logger when using the web player to see what it does. AFAIK the blocking rules are imported from EasyList. However, as far as user experience goes, I don't share your experiences at all – the web player is a

That's very unlikely to happen, ever. (Too many "int var;" out there.)

Oh, I'm certainly under no impression that nicotine might not have any health benefits, but with various inconclusive research it's hard to assess the complete picture and net effect. I think it's partly this way because nico

I don't think it's quite that clear – however, I think it is considered clear that nicotine is nowhere near as harmful as tobacco smoke.

Why would you ever half-indent a block? For alignment you should of course use spaces (for whole alignment, not just the end, to be very clear).

A dictatorship like China raising the issue over Tibet is the equivalent of (an alternative universe) powerful Nazi Germany getting someone fired in the U.S. over liking a tweet about Jewish rights issue.

First of all, I don't think we are. Also, I live in a modestly sized European city of about 650k citizens (excl. metro), and even we do have some sections of road with 4 lanes in each direction, and in intersections, even more. I'

I love how every time there's a discussion about car operating costs here, at least someone mentions oil changes as if they were a substantial part. Many European cars with a long-life oil change program have oil changes as far as 18,0

You've never seen a median-divided road that has two lanes going to each direction? Have you actually ever been to Europe?

How often? How often you'd manage to go through the intersection before the lights change, and gain even more? (edit: just to be clear, I'm not in support of speeding, however I do value good logic.)
