  __LINE__ returns the line of code its on, and % 10 means “remainder 10.” Examples:

  1 % 10 == 1
  ...
  8 % 10 == 8
  9 % 10 == 9
  10 % 10 == 0 <-- loops back to 0
  11 % 10 == 1
  12 % 10 == 2
  ...
  19 % 10 == 9
  20 % 10 == 0
  21 % 10 == 1
  

  In code, 0 means false and 1 (and 2, 3, 4, …) means true.

  So, if on line 10, you say:

  int dont_delete_database = true;
  

  then it will expand to:

  int dont_delete_database = ( 10 % 10 );
  // 10 % 10 == 0 which means false
  // database dies...
  

  if you add a line before it, so that the code moves to line 11, then suddenly it works:

  // THIS COMMENT PREVENTS DATABASE FROM DYING
  int dont_delete_database = ( 11 % 10 );
  // 11 % 10 == 1, which means true
