"A foot" is simply not a thing outside of English-speaking world as far as measurements do. Even for the actual foot measurement, there are different shoe sizes.

Yes, in Ukraine we just say 'thirty centimeters', or 'three hundred millimeters' if you want to sound properly pedantic. We have shortcut words like 'half-meter', but 'third-meter' just sound weird and forced, you would just say '33 centimeters'. And decimeters is not used anywhere except for some technical slang like 'decimeter antenna', and even then they usually clarify the actual wavelength in centimeters. The centimeter is also easy to visualize, it's the thickness of your finger.

Also, common calipers only measure up to 150 millimeters, and tape measure is usually 3 or 5 meters. There are not a whole lot of things that are foot-length, it's usually either below 10 cm or above 1 meter, if you measure floor area or furniture.

Inside the building it's the first floor, even if it's exactly at the sea level altitude. Outside the building it's the ground. Basement levels start at minus one, there is no zeroth floor.

If the walkway goes inside the building, then yes. And the walkway usually leads directly to the second floor, because the airplane door is 3 metres above the ground.

In the UK it's called a ground table.

Extend C++ for safety

I stopped reading after this. Why do you think C++ is unsafe in the first place? Someone decided ro extend it, and now you cannot even read an error message without finishing an university course on lambda calculus first.

Back in the 80386 days there was one model of BIOS that would print 'CPU not found' if you had your CRT monitor and VGA videocard plugged in.
