She ok ?

Yes - just a checkup. Increased her O2 for "walking around" from 4 to 6 l/min, and doubled the number of O2 tanks I need to find space for, but no new problems.

This one is easy, relatively... I stopped looking everyday when they started with the small islands.

I agree, but I do them as a learning event. Places I have never heard of.
One has to use a map for those small island ones and even then it requires multiple guesses to narrow it down.

I often feel like code review are mostly filled with unneeded comment for the sake of commenting or to take some sort of "ownership" that doesn't do anything special beside burdening the reviewee with a special cosmetic change udpate.
Anyway, someone was updating my code and I was feeling revengeful so I also asserted my opinion on purely cosmetic and totally irrelevant code! 
Although, come to think of it, the guy was doing unnecessary work in Dispose() because "that's what is done everywhere", even though it's not needed and closing documents take godamn too long (due to all those unnecessary piece of code running in all those Dispose() methods), mmmrrppphhh... I stick to my gun!

Super Lloyd wrote: Anyway, someone was updating my code
One of my earlier co-workers discovered that my code contained a '#define ever ;;' so that I could write an infinite loop as 'for (ever) { ...'. A few years earlier, I was working in a CHILL environment; in CHILL 'DO FOR EVER' is a part of the base language.
This construction made my coworker so upset that he not only changed it where he had discovered it; he searched through the entire code base of the company for other uses, and found a good handful; I had been programming with 'for (ever) {' for a couple of years by then (in embedded software, infinite loops are commonplace), changing every one of them to 'while (0) {', adding an angry commit comment that requested everybody to refrain from making such 'jokes' in our program code - we are a serious company!
Then he brought it up at the scrum, to make sure that everybody would know that in our company, we do not code that way.
I asked if we could make it slightly less cryptic by using 'while (true) {', but this fellow would not under any circumstances accept that. According to him, there is one, single way of coding an infinite loop, that is immediately recognized by every programmer in the world, and that is 'while (0)'. So he would not tolerate anything else.
He certainly had no formal authority, completing his degree about three years earlier, having worked in the company for half a year, I was 25 years his senior. I didn't have to accept his dictate. But he had an unbearable arrogance and self confidence that I didn't care to fight against, so I just nodded "OK!".
At least that episode gave me a story to tell - this is certainly not the first time

Mmmh.... shouldn't it be while (1)?
Now I am worried your colleague might have broken lots of stuff...
Fun story though! I quite like the for (ever)

for the spiritualists: Do while( 1 ) { I = Live(); };
for the materialists: Do while( 1 ) { I = Make_Money(); };
P.S. No offense intended just being a silly programmer about forever.

Do while (ever) { I = TryToLive() && MakeMoney(); }

try
{
Be_Born();
while (1)
{
try
{
Live();
Make_Money();
}
catch (FinancialException const& e)
{
}
catch (MedicalException const& e)
{
}
}
}
catch (DeathException const& e)
{
Die();
}

Of course! Sorry about that typo. I prefer 'for (ever)'

I faced a similar situation years ago, and met a similar response. Largely because the people "across the pond" could not get their heads around how time zones work, and the 24-hour clock.

Sorry about the typo - if you had read the response from Super Lloyd and my reply to him, you would have known.
I never use 'while (1)' myself - I think of it as a deliberate case of explicit code obfuscation.
Another common practice in the same company was to enclose code under development in 'if (0) {...', to have it syntax checked even though it was not ready for execution yet. I guess that is what caused me to write 'while (0)' rather than 'while (1)'.

Compared with while(1), (8 keystrokes) for(ever) has 9 keystrokes and is a distant third place from for(;;) at only 7 keystrokes 
Sorry I'm lazy; I was born that way.

I once wrote a program with a variable
int hell_freezes_over = 0;
The loop control was
do
...
until hell_freezes_over
The languange didn't support infinite loops.

I did something similar, but my symbol was WW3.
A friend of mine pointed out that I was a romantic dreamer: I had defined WW3 as a false constant

And what is wrong with the idiom:
for (;;)
{
}
Which has no spurious conditions?
Inquiring minds wish to know!
