I'm a socialist myself, but if you want to do anything good for the left, make sure you get your stories very straight.
(And i say this as someone who hates Unity for the actual graphics handling bugs it has.)

Ah, so you're against it because you're ignorant.Also,

Don't bury that lede. If you're restricting what you're saying to a specific language say that bold and as the very first thing, so people don't end up wasting their time parsing your post in a different context. Rude.
Foo value = ( someCondition() ? map1 : map2 ).computeIfAbsent("key", defaultValueProvider);
Or some kind of moral equivalent?How do they suggest that?
As far as i am aware ternaries put no restriction whatsoever on what kind of code you can put in its branches.
I don't buy the comparison with getX either, since ternaries have no name, they're just some punctuation, and even if implemented as if/else word pairs are completely vague.
As i asked below: Why though?
boolean_flag
? do_this()
: do_that();
It seems so terse as to be impossible to misinterpret.The only possibly feasible way i see for it doing something unexpected would be if it were the last statement in a function in a language that implicitly returns the value returned by the last statement in a function; but users of such languages usually are aware that can happen.
I'm sorry, but i really don't follow your logic, can you try to explain it more clearly?
Personally i dislike the latter form because it requires me to spend extra time reading what is boilerplate that is functionally identical to a ternary.
Edit: Not impressed by the down-voting of an earnest question of someone trying to learn more about how other people see things, HN.
Yep. Ok. Mhm.
Heavily ironic when this applies in the country of freedom.
What possible reasons could there be for your support team denying the refund that may have been left off that page? Hypothetically speaking.
One of the most popular types of medicines in the usa to prescribe to people with psychotic tendencies entirely eradicates any psychotic outbreaks, but also completely suspends the physical production of dopamine, meaning people become physically unable to feel happiness, or much of anything. They become inert breathing husks.
And since a lot of people are either of the opinion "fix yourself, or we'll fix you with guns", and the "fix yourself" step is pretty much suicide, just of another kind, it is not only normal that people don't seek help, but it would be almost crazier to actually go and seek help.
Until the USA as a country actually start caring about these people, like the citizens they are, they will have no incentive whatsoever to trust themselves to other people, and things like those in your list will keep happening.
And this is exactly why it keeps happening.
Not only that, is is a flaw that cannot be fixed. Period. There is no 100% reliable way to handle this without mistakes. And mistakes are not only irreversible, they cannot be made up for in any way. As such this particular system cannot be allowed to be used.
This is not "bad luck".
This is "extreme cruelty".
Also, since you like conventions, grandfathering in decisions made before a convention became reality is also a convention.
And i invite you to read the very first law in the german body of law, that enshrines a right that does not exist in all countries:
