The current mass extinction was in no way inevitable, it is caused by humans. We can still have an unknowably large impact on the number of lives lost. I don't know why we should pretend otherwise.
Others are already forcing their beliefs on everyone else. The current state of laws isn't natural or god-given, it was constructed by humans. Leaving things as they are is not a neutral stance.
I think the mere fact that they resulted in comments like yours proves they were objectively not good.
And that makes it somehow okay? You just don't care about billions of deaths? Like, do you think I'd argue that any of the previous mass extinctions were good?
You know, it would be interesting to apply this to the whole company. Want to vertically integrate everything? Sure, but be ready for any infraction to bring everything to a halt.
Do you know that strongly triggering these regions at the same time/repeatedly/in various patterns doesn't have any effect on your mood, wants, needs and so on due to experience in the field? Or why are you just…
It's a silly distinction. Unless we're wiped out by a virus or something similar, whatever ends us is likely to also take down a huge part of the biosphere as well - as is already happening. "Burning something down"…
No, those positions aren't inherently contradictory. There are plenty of viewpoints that make them consistent.
While I'm not sure I agree that the quote is applicable here, it is generally an incredibly useful way to analyze systems. Reality doesn't care what you're hoping to achieve with a system, the outcome won't change based…

You say that as if inexperienced devs would naturally drift towards doing data validation without TS, but that hasn't been my experience. Instead what I used to see were lots of unnecessary/repeated checks spread…
How does TS make these situations worse? Seems to me that it helps a ton with identifying and fixing these issues. Either you can get away with just replacing the assertions with type guards, or you'll have to refactor…
I don't think it's reasonable to expect the TS team to hold back the release until the ecosystem has caught up.
I've been really, really happy with oxlint. It has all the rules I usually need and the configs etc. tend to just work, whereas I don't know how much time I spent getting ESLint to work in slightly more complex repo…
That entirely depends on the layout and shape/size/feeling of each button. If they're sufficiently different I'd guess 3-5 buttons is reasonable.

The two year limit doesn't apply if the company has an objective reason for making the role temporary, e.g. external dependencies.
Six months is the default probationary period in Germany, I can't remember ever seeing a job without that. Temporary contracts are also a thing here, but if there's no objective reason for the contract to be temporary…
Apparently not piranhas, they seem to be omnivorous!
According to current laws, using LLMs to plagiarize existing works is not illegal. There is no precedent because the technology hasn't existed before. There's tons upon tons of precedent for companies plagiarizing the…

And now discovery is becoming exponentially harder, because every niche can get flooded with AI slop by companies trying to extract profits from real people's creativity. Even if you use these tools to create something…
I just don't understand how the multi-billion dollar industries (who employ hordes of people whose entire careers are spent researching how to best influence the average person) keep winning!
Only for non-erasable Typescript! The support for running erasable TS is here to stay. It's not ideal, but on the other hand this is paving the way for the TC39 proposal - if that ever progresses...
Huh, I was going to mention Node's `--experimental-transform-types`, but that was completely removed in v26: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/61803
