.C came first. I don't usually use it though; I usually use .cc or .cxx, but if I'm making some tiny test source, I often use .C. I'm strongly opposed to the .cpp extension because calling C++ "CPP" leads to confusion with the preexisting (before C++) use of the initialism to refer to the C preprocessor. There's a reason why CPPFLAGS refers to preprocessor flags and CXXFLAGS refers to C++ flags.

You also talk to the rapist.

I look forward to finding out how it’s actually much worse than meets the eye. [emphasis added]

It this schadenfreude because you hate Canonical and their Snap system?

It would be better if the workers were actually paid enough.

[[ is not a POSIX shell feature.

Also, I constantly name files in the same directory the same thing except for case. In my ~/tmp directory I have unrelated foo.c (C source) and foo.C (C++ source).

Cow milk tasting much better than alternatives (which I do very strongly agree with) is not exactly a good argument for dairy subsidies.

It’s not shelf stable. It has a short lifespan.

Ultra-pasteurized milk has a remarkable shelf life, even when unrefrigerated.

And how is it better for us? Considering a majority of the world can’t digest it is a big sign as to why plant based is better.

Your argument becomes a non-sequitur when extended to people who are lactose tolerant. The mere existence or ubiquity of lactose intolerance does not entail that milk is bad for the lactose tolerant. Perhaps plant substitutes to cow milk are better for even the lactose tolerant, but lactose intolerance is completely irrelevant to the minority of us such as myself who produce sufficient enzymes to digest lactose without any difficulty whatsoever.

much like "therefor", which does not mean the same thing as "therefore"

I meant that electromagnetism is ubiquitous in its role in the nature of ordinary matter itself.

Are magnet’s the most dangerous thing in the universe?

No, not even remotely. That's not to say that the extreme magnetic fields of magnetars wouldn't be awesomely dangerous, but "most dangerous thing in the universe" is an absurdly high bar to meet.

After all Blackholes are powerful magnets

The accretion disk consisting of material surrounding a black hole is capable of generating strong magnetic fields, rather than the black hole itself.

Technically, electromagnetism is directly implicated in every death that has ever happened.

You're assuming an eternal universe (as opposed to, e.g., a big crunch), which seems likely given the observed accelerating expansion of the universe.

Why does philosophy constantly twist things into an over complicated mythical mess, and then act like it’s some novel insight?

I cannot stand that either, but this sort of pseudo-profundity is more common in some specific schools of thought, rather than philosophy in general.

Does a tree falling in the woods with nothing to hear it make a sound?

It's probably № 1 on my list of stupidest questions. The answer is yes.

And GPL compatible, so a fork of tmux could be GPL-licensed on top of the ISC license.

Actually, negative absolute temperature is quite real in certain non-equilibrium systems, and does not imply negative energy.

Incidentally, Biden is the only silent generation US president.

Unfortunately, this is the first thing that came to mind.
