I guess, opening a PR without forking is possible, but hey that's sort of incredibly bullshit idea

Pretty much sums my experience with windows, something you want will either work fine, or be mysteriously broken beyond repair with no apparent reason. MacOS is like that sometimes, too. Linux is not perfect, but it usually allows for a fix to exist.

Not only them, and I'm not here to blame 😅

There's no such thing as "zeroith" because it's called "zeroth — being numbered zero in a series"

This works for building storeys, this would work equally well for tables. The only reason this is not used often is because the series are rarely zero-based in anything that doesn't also want to equate index and offset.

You're right that first may be read as "opposite of last", that would add to the confusion, but that's just natural language not being precise enough.

Edit: spelling

Edit2: also, if you extend that logic, when you're presented with an ordinal number, you would need to first check all the options, sort them, and then apply the position you're asked, that's not really how people would expect ordinal number to be treated, not me, at the very least

Reminds me of how I found some safety measures to be in China some years back, basically those were signs saying "plz don't fall to your death, if you do it's your fault"

If you want everyone to stop trying to shove Rust everywhere, just use smart pointers more. I may somehow get over Rust not replacing every other language if those languages will be safe

I think, the idea was along the lines of "because C++ was not memory-safe, and it has to stay compatible with how it was, there are still a lot of ways to not write memory-safely"

This makes sense, there are memory-safely features available but there are a lot of programmers that will never willingly use that features, because the olden ways are surely better

Other than that, I agree, when you're paid to fix an unfixable problem you will probably claim something like that and advocate for your solution being the only one that solves this

That was about what I meant, but thanks for expressing this, sorry I was vague.

…but still edible. I usually alternate between eating kiwi whole and with a spoon ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
