Agreed, and there also needs to be a variant of prison,
modified for people who post dumb comments on Hacker News.
Whatever the language, I like the "show me the
code/graphs/benchmarks/disassembly/data/something/anything"
approach Atila used in his blog post.
When I wrote a blog post about why C const is practically useless
for optimisation, I lost count of how many people smugly pointed
out that const "should" go on the other side of the *, as if that
made all the difference. If they actually tried it they'd see it
makes zero difference because "int * const x" is even less useful
for optimisation.
