The non-problem that there is no GUI that works on both Windows and an Android phone is because what works for the one, would be horrible for the other.

If you happen to have a box of spaghetti in your pantry, try this experiment: Pull out a single spaghetti stick and hold it at both ends. Now bend it until it breaks. How many fragments did you make? If the answer is three or more, pull out another stick and try again. Can you break the noodle in two? If not, you're in very good company. And people say mathematicians never carry out important research

She said she wants to ensure Donald Trump gets no votes. He isn't. Apparently, actual education isn't a requirement for this hobby.
(Changing votes is a far cry from being able to see what those votes are. Well, except West Virginia. Added: the "hacking" is basically hacking CNN displaying totals. Hacking West Virginia's internet voting, on the other hand, would be very enlightening and even useful; either to fix the system or just mock West Virginia.)

Network Television and code have very different audiences. "Showing code to a customer"; who does that?

Well, no, you might not show your code to a customer but your customer might just get to see something in it.
Many, many years a go, I finished a long switch statement with something to the effect of:
default: errorText = "[Little round things]! Cannot possibly get here ...";
Needless to say, a couple of years later, it did manage to get there ...
And code does sometimes get sent to third parties, my favourite comment in some code that I received, read (in highly bowlderised form):
The redacted name being the owner of the company in question and the comment being somewhat factual - but still the best PR move ever!
So, basically, no, I don't use naughty words in source files these days. Somebody, somewhere, will see it at some point!

I will not have my naughty parts removed just to prevent others from seeing them.
In the articles that I wrote you'll more likely find attempts at humor instead of profanity, but the goal is the same; it was probably a frustrating piece of code that the reader is to be warned of. I am not writing an essay or a PG13 movie script; it is code, and I will expect the audience to be another coder.

I'm more than happy to use the full breadth of the English language in any situation where there aren't any children around (and will fervently defend my right to do so), but in situations - such as code - where you don't know who will wind up reading what you write, I think it's safer to assume that it might be a little kid, however unlikely that is in reality.

Oh, yes, we got to save the kids from profanity! It's a gateway to drugs and murder.
Also check your code to see if you're using the correct pronouns, as it may scar someone for life!

It is not a diary; your code will not be published to the larger public. Comments in code are there to make clear what is happening, to limit bugs, and to make it easier to understand. That's the goal.
