The question title asks "why doesn't?", which requires knowledge on the reasoning of the designers to be answered.
The question body appears to ask "how to?", postulating an issue and asking how to overcome that specific issue.
Which are you interested in? (more) |

There is very likely no need for (explicit) temporary files if you are using bash. Instead, you might try:
comm <(grep -r . -e 'foo') <(grep -r . -e 'bar') -12
which should have the same effect. (more) |

@#53177 `.local` is reserved for mDNS (RFC 6762) which is restricted-scope.
@#56971 If you aren't actually running mDNS on your network, I recommend migrating to `.home.arpa` instead of `.local`. See RFC 8375. Using `.local` outside of a mDNS-only context can lead to name resolution issues. (more) |

@#53320 C and C++ are two distinct languages that happen to use partly similar syntax, in no small part due to a shared history. My firm opinion is that, despite the common usage of "C/C++" and that the two sometimes have very similar semantics, they should not be casually lumped together any more th... (more) |

I agree that eight decimal places is silly and, really, excessive.
I also think that this is one of those things that hasn't bothered anyone enough to make them fix it.

@#8046 In this case I would say no, not really. You can have a GNU userland with or without Linux, and you can have Linux with or without a GNU userland. I would expect that you can also have a GNU kernel (Hurd) with or without the GNU userland. In terms of abstraction hierarchies, GNU, Linux and Hur... (more) |

To say that something "didn't work" isn't very specific nor particularly helpful. What exactly did happen? The code you include doesn't seem to call any method named `password_verify`.
Can you trim this down to a minimal, working (or in your case non-working) example that illustrates the difficult... (more) |

My copy of the Borland Turbo C 2.0 Reference Guide lists malloc as `void *malloc(size_t size)` and specifies "malloc is available on UNIX systems and is compatible with ANSI C".

Could this be split by separating the question ("what should be our take on UI/UX questions?") and your specific proposal ("this is what I feel should be our take on such questions")? That would make it much clearer what votes mean, especially if other proposed policies emerge. (more) |

For testing, have you tried splitting the `if` statement in two? So instead of
if (event.ctrlKey && event.altKey && event.key === 'l' || event.ctrlKey && event.altKey && event.key === 'ך') {

}
you might have

Just something you might want to consider: If, as a developer, you're annoyed by the popup, consider whether visitors/users might also be annoyed by it, especially if (as would seem to be the case based on your problem statement) there is no easy way to dismiss it. (more) |

As it stands, this question is rather broad. We're not here to write your code (do your homework) for you.

It's probably worth noting that *as used here*, function pointers don't really bring any benefit and do introduce potentially significant complexity; but there are some tasks that are made significantly easier by using them. As one example of the latter, consider something like a dynamic `switch()` w... (more) |

I haven't looked at the list of files in each respective package, but I somehow doubt that `/usr/lib/jvm/java-16-openjdk-amd64/lib/libawt_xawt.so` would be provided by `openjdk-11-jdk`. "16" vs "11" is the giveaway here. (more) |

@#8176 GPG would almost certainly refer to GnuPG, which is the GNU Privacy Guard, which is the GNU implementation of the OpenPGP standard, which in turn is based on the venerable Pretty Good Privacy originally by Zimmermann, the first versions of which date back to the early 1990s. https://www.gnupg....

Unrelated to the question you're asking, but I do suggest keeping in mind that while Drupal minor upgrades are usually painless, major version upgrades can *intentionally* be a real pain, especially if you use plugins.

@#53196 On what do you base the statement (as I interpret it, at least) that the `default-src` would further restrict a `style-src`? That would make `default-src` not a *fallback* for when a more appropriate CSP directive isn't provided (which MDN seems to me to say), but a *maximum ever possible* pe... (more) |

This looks like a homework exercise. A large part of what those are about is to familiarize you with various concepts.

@MartinBonner Since Python to my knowledge doesn't use braces at all to delimit block/compound statements, I think it's a somewhat irrelevant example to a question about brace styles.

The problem with the `someClearlyNamedCondition()`/`takeClearlyNamedAction()` approach is when, to take that action, you need access to a variety of variables that are in scope for the `while` statement, but won't be in scope in a different function.
