Well, not before coming across Netflix's Jeeves and Wooster videos. Now I'm not so sure.

Whoa there. You wouldn't steel a car, would you???
Germans are essentially stupid when it comes to totalitarianism in any form. After all, this is the country that hat to start and lose _two_ world wars in order to find out that they are may not be the master-race.
Beim dritten Mal ist ein Charme!
Billions of people go top some kind of church or another. So
And at least a few of them genuinely believe in the magical thinking, while most are just there from social peer pressure. But it's still a dire problem.
Damn, lots of Stasi victims are still of working age even. You'd hope the Germans had developed more antibodies against this crap.
Given the nice, modular nature of LLVM, I would think even the GCC developers would find it to be a more enjoyable best to work on.
Any idea why most GCC developers don't simply port their front-ends / back-ends of choice to LLVM, and walk away from GCC?
I know there's the licensing issue, which I assume matters to some heavy-duty OSS advocates. But in my experience most programmers who work with OSS aren't super passionate about GPL vs. Berkeley -style licensing.
Im sure some dogs DO detect drugs
Thousands of them, trained by some very serious, very passionate people who don't even begin to fit the cartoon caricature description of cops who fake drug busts
but the above scenario has been reported a number of times
How many is a "number," relative to the all day, every day work these dogs and their handlers do?
wouldn't you want a furry friend with an addiction to powerful drugs to keep you company?
The only thing search/detection dog is addicted to is the simple pleasure of working. They're descended from wolves, who live to hunt. They're bred to be incredibly sensitive, nose-wise, and have had their pack instincts morphed into a very gratifying (for them, and their handlers) pleasure in their essentially symbiotic relationship with humans. They love to go out and do stuff, and are raised as pups to get some good clean joy out of accurately differentiating between being right and wrong with their noses. They're addicted to being part of a well organized pack, just like many social animals. Addicted to the drugs or other materials they've learned to identify by the parts-per-billion in the air? Nonsense. They want a pat on the head, their favorite toy as a reward, and a chance to go do it again.
This is why it's important to yell loudly and repeatedly "AM I BEING DETAINED?!?!" whenever speaking to a cop.
Yes, because being obnoxious and shouting at cops is a super way to show that you're not trying to distract/deflect. Do you do your job better when someone is screaming in your face? Really? Fascinating.
The dogs are consistently abused
Please cite some actual examples of police dogs being constantly abused. You have no idea what you're talking about.
The dogs are demonstrably a placebo that "triggers" when the handling cop signals the dog to do so.
You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. About dogs generally, or about their use in quickly showing awareness of explosives, drugs, and other items. They are uncannily accurate once they've been shown the difference between placebos and the real thing. Oh, and you also have no understanding of how the word "placebo" is used.
A complete disregard for the customers because there is ZERO penalty for producing a shitty product.
Do you purchase their products? Will you in the future? Will you be recommending their products to any people or businesses that you know? Will you be praising or condemning them in venues like this?
What penalty did you have mind beyond them losing sales?
Should we criminalize imperfect software? Let's see some of your code.
