It's either an adjective or a possessive: your choice.

This is a formal setting, so avoid ambiguity: "for the sake of f***". 
Or, if you really want to sound like a posh twat: "nam vulpes eruit".

Hmm. I've always thought it was "For f***'s sake", as if f*** was a possessive proper noun.
But then, I'm a neo-briar from Ohio, so what do I know.

Since this is a serious, professional enquiry, I shall answer it seriously and professionally.
It's the genitive case equivalent of "For the sake of f***", so it's "For f***'s sake".

OK, back to making fun of everything else, now, before this gets bogged down by foreign politics that I'm not the least bit interested in.

What a big beautiful wall sail!
Sadly, it seems like a huge waste of taxpayer money. Nevermind, I forgot...Mexico's paying for it right?

The section of wall was under construction at the time, with concrete anchors being put in place. But the strong winds blew the panels over onto the Mexican side of the border before the concrete had cured
Nice of most people discussing this to leave out that little detail.
As developers, we've all been there--would we react any differently?

Oh, you mean they removed the supports before the concrete was cured? That doesn't seem like it was a good idea.

Just looking at the couple of pictures I've seen.
|
|
|
|

I've only seen the one picture from the article (which starts the video, which I've not watched since this is such a non-story).
And I'm guessing that picture was taken as they were already in the process of tearing the whole thing down. So the forms could very well still have been in place when the whole thing tipped over.

OK, then it is like it didn't happen. There was an excuse; that handles it.

Please when you write parsers, separate your parsing logic from the rest of your app's logic so the app's main code isn't actually tied directly to your parser's grammar!
I mean, I get there's going to be some intermingling between different areas of your code
but when I crack open a project, and I find a codebase where every section of the app is intimately tied to every other section of the app it's really frustrating.
For example, the parser in this case returns LexSpan classes which hold a text buffer, and start and end positions within that buffer. Great for parsing, so you know where your fragments of text are.
But then when you build say, your Regex syntax tree with it, DO NOT use LexSpans as your member fields! unpack the values therein for witch's sake!
Now if i want to implement a different parser i have to completely tear apart the app's core logic.
Lovely.
