The answer to every single one of those questions is: Conan the Barbarian

Doesn’t need any comment:

int getCount() { return count; }

Absolutely needs a very extensive comment:

double getBojangleFlux { return fubar * .42; }

Your friend sets you up on a date. Are you going to treat that person horribly. Of course not. Why? First and foremost, because you’re not a dick.

I have in my life met a number of people to whom you might want to explain that this was how they were supposed to behave.

Just curious: If you’re willing to use Discord, why not Google?

I myself prefer my trailers rare.

Imo not really noob-user friendly.

In what way? It would make it entirely invisible that the archive file isn’t just a normal folder, it would be possible to use it just as if it were. What would be unfriendly about that?

The operating system could mount it as a virtual drive, then all its contents could be used directly just like any regular folder.

It’s now been 18 years since the last time an employer paid me to write assembly, but it’s only been a year or so since the last time I had to read assembly at work (in order to verify what the compiler really was doing).

I still don’t get what would be so difficult about typing one such character if ever needed.

Sure, but when was the last time you saw, say, a Python project using some third-party library instead of simply calling isnumeric() from the standard library?

There’s a reason for these jokes always being about Javascript.

Twitter ceased to exist in July 2023.

Most people never type a full file name on the command line, they normally just use file name completion.

And if they happen to have a lot of files that are only distinguished by some single character, what would be so difficult about typing that one character then?

Because you would need to know the code for å in all kb layouts, on all OS’s,

WTF!? Why would you ever need to know that!?

No, it isn’t. Why would it be?

Incompetence didn’t go anywhere.

Now that’s certainly true, but the beauty of open source software is that we can fix bugs when we encounter them.

Would it be possible to work around this by using virtual desktops? 🤔
