I worded badly. We call them genes because, among other things (such as determining the characteristics of an organism), they create copies of themselves. They, of course, have no motivation to do this, but any gene that has done so for a few generations is likely to do so again (ignoring other factors).
Genes don't have a perspective. Nor do they grade anything in levels of importance. Genes create more genes because otherwise we wouldn't call them genes. We fall apart because this is a natural process in any system. It's also obvious that genes will be passed on before sexual dysfunction.
Error returns are errors that occur that are not a big deal to ignore. This could be parsing an empty or invalid string.
Or writing data to undefined memory pointers. No errors should be ignored. Error codes are returned to indicate that the function did not operate normally and therefore you should not continue on the assumption it did (ignore it in other words).
Once at the lowest level you've determined that something is wrong, very often the only sensible option is a fatal abort.
Surely it's better to throw an exception (or even an error code)? If nothing else catches it then the main function should, at which point it's trivial to end the program. It also means information can be passed from a low level to a higher level where it's more likely an informative error message can be generated. It also means that objects have a chance to destroy themselves. This is important if you've allocated resources that won't be freed by the platform when your program aborts. Should destructors abort? Not sure about this one. I've always allowed the destructor to finish but logged the error. As a general rule I try to keep destructors very simple.
I wouldn't use assert(). There are plenty of better alternatives.
A suicidal person doesn't automatically commit suicide: They first have to find a means to be able to do this. It's therefore entirely possible for people to be suicidal and not commit suicide (It's the reason I can type this now). The more times they feel suicidal, the more time they have to make plans, and the higher the risk is that they'll have both the means and motivation to do it at the same time. The evidence supports this: Depressed people who have the means to kill themselves easily available are more likely to commit suicide. This isn't weakness.
This 'ergonomic' input device just isn't going to fit on my ergonomic keyboard. The only keyboard it looks like it will fit on will be rectangular and therefore will require you to bend your wrists to type. This makes me wonder how good this product can be if the designers overlooked this fact. Now an ergonomic keyboard with this built in...
Both operate on the data in a serial manner and therefore the order of execution of the code inside the loops may be important. Any compiler making the optimization would have to check for this.

...not just for your head. It can also stop aliens (and terrorists) from reading your passport!

I'll have you know that my level 10 thief does quadruple back stabbing damage.
The same as the difference between normal matter and energy except these forms would emit no visible light (and are thus dark).
The survey is, of course, biased.

Dealing with your problems and killing yourself are not mutually exclusive. Suicide is not a sign of weakness.

Before? Do actually know what the big bang is? Or what the fuck you're talking about?

It's not: It's based on the second. 1 meter = 1/299792458 seconds

No one will know unless we try both.
