Did the duolingo training work?
Quote: We also made the mistake of hiring a big car, which is definitively not handy in the narrow streets of the "Centro Storico". It's a small wonder the car is still undamaged.
I had the same problem in Cornwall (actually I had booked a small car, they nonetheless gave me a big car).

I started a bit too late with DuoLingo, but I picked up some basic words and like the website very much.
Now you mention it, the roads in the south east of Sicily look a lot like those in Cornwall with stone walls on the sides.
We are now near the Etna, and plan to go to the top tomorrow.

Quote: A semitrailer driver told police she had a sneezing fit while talking to her phone before her truck rolled and closed an interstate lane for eight hours Sunday.
The driver was heading southbound in a construction zone on I-65 in Lake County near the Crown Point exit when she began sneezing while trying to talk to Siri on her iPhone, according to an Indiana State Police news release.

Correlation does not imply causation!!
I'm not sure how the two are related anyways.
Is Siri known to make people sneeze?

Quote: Is Siri known to make people sneeze
Now please listen to an expert (thats me): There's a certain probability that "Siri" can make people sneeze. We are still busy with studies on this.
At the moment, as an expert (thats again me), I can say: It can not be ruled out 
Just listen (...) to the news in swiss tv. And as usual they present a recognized expert; today it is for traffic 
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

1) Stop everything.
2) Get Gov't funding in excess of $5 Billion.
3) start in depth study to determine, if in fact, Siri does cause sneezing.
The study will only cost $500 but we'll use the rest for important stuff. I promise.

Sneezing fits are horrible while driving. Before I had medications for my pollen allergy I was worried, as allergy sneezes often come up completely sudden and very violent, causing spasms to the arms.
I almost drove myself into a wall accelerating (the nseeze contracted both my arms and accelerator feet) in a tight curve thanks to such a sneeze.

It would have been disastrous if you had been talking to Siri then.

Probably: I rarely talk while driving. Either because I'm alone or because my wife talks enough for both of us (and half a dozen other).

Chew think that might be a bone-afide assertion? Implies doing this to themselves, sort of, sounding ever so much like a perverted form of mastication.

Function after function, consisting of little more than an assert, a line of code, maybe, and another function call.
On and on and on you search, looking for code that actually DOES something!

Sometimes I even wrote code like that. With C++ it's fairly common due to the class architecture, and sometimes unavoidable if we are to respect OOP.
I still hate it, though.

that's not C++. that's coders who are afraid of functions with more than 15 lines.
come on over to my world, where i'm looking at C functions that sometimes hit 1000 lines.

Until you are the one who has to debug them.
Then you're excited in a whole new way.

It sounds like you support functions with 1000 lines over 15 lines. Extracting out discrete segments of logic into non-public methods/functions not only improves readability but allows you to abstract "complex logic" into an understandable name so new developers can digest it easier.
A caveat, as always, especially since you mention C: If it's for a functional performance requirement, I can't really fault massive functions. I can't seem to find the article but I remember years ago a game engine had to collapse its entire render stack into a single function to improve performance.
