    You know why they “tombstone”? (By the way, they don’t replace with a tombstone marker but instead add the marker.)

    Because if you “accidentally” deleted something and then decided you wanted it back, you’d get really mad if they couldn’t do that. If they immediately deleted it, you couldn’t ever get it back

    The copies and deep copies are for a similar reason: Some engineer accidentally deletes a bunch of data, it’s really nice to have a backup so you don’t lose everything.



  • There’s a pretty trivial rule for getting this right. Phrase your sentence using who/whom as a question. Respond with he/him. If your response contains a “he”, your initial statement should be “who”; if it contains a “him” then you’re looking at a “whom” use.

    • ex: “To who/whom should the gold be given?” -> “To him” -> “whom”
    • ex: “Who/whom wants the gold?” -> “He wants the gold” -> “who”
    • ex: “Who/whom did you see at the party?” -> “I saw him” -> “whom”
    • ex: “The man who/whom called earlier is here” -> “Who/whom called?” -> “he called” -> “who”

    I don’t understand why you’re getting down-voted. Living abroad and have stopped listening to news since the Trump election. Every 6 months I tune in, and while it seems a lot has happened, no progress has actually been made

    this seems cool, but… so what? cute photo op and a tale for the grandkids…

    Let me get this straight. You think somebody else wiped down the fingerprints on the gun, shot him, and then stuck his finger on the trigger without thinking about creating any fingerprints? Does seem like someone half-assed the wrong step of that operation…
