Fact
  • Although baseball encyclopedias only list Cochran as a right-handed thrower, the San Francisco Chronicle of September 4, 1918 also lists his height (5 ft 9 in (1.75 m)), weight (160 lbs.) and batting side (both).
gollark: If I saw the top one (and it wasn't in an event like this where everyone will second-guess everything) I would assume that it was written by someone who used C(++) a lot.
gollark: e.g. if you have some JS code, and you see that the author used ```javascriptfunction deployBee(){}```brackets and not```javascriptfunction deployBee() {}```ones, you need to know a bit about what JS code normally looks like to infer anything like that.
gollark: I don't think so. Things like variable names and formatting are *fairly* obvious, although you may need to read a decent sample of code in language X to learn what people generally do there regarding those, but stuff like what constructs are generally used for tasks in language X are not.
gollark: Wait, he said it *wasn't* good, oh dear.
gollark: I just implemented bubble sort, since I heard Obama saying it was good.
