They have been doing for at least a decade by now (e.g Amazon). So why imply it suddenly isn’t acceptable to show ads (in any form)?

None, except for the fact that the 30% fee will be reduced (not eliminated), has been achieved by the EU ruling.

- Alternative browser engines are useless if the rest of the world doesn't test for them (which they won't because they don't have access)

- You cannot start another marketplace without showing Apple you have the ability to financially support it

- And thanks for the need to support it, 30% surcharge will only be the ceiling

Doubt it. The next chapter for EVs will be truly affordable vehicles, which naturally tend to be smaller. And with a more compact size (and most likely less batteries) will come lower weight. Besides, ICE cars have gotten heavy, too. So the extra 400kg headroom that EVs have should give them a decent fighting chance.

Because heavy electric cars still pollute more than light electric cars through tire and brake particles. Taxing by size would be neat, but I understand that that would make the calculation even more complicated.

A 2 ton Model Y produces much less pollution than an ICE compact car.

Because a 1.5t Zoe pollutes even less :P We can argue about the cut-off line, but it'll be arbitrary - the only thing for certain is that the mayor seems to agree with the sentiment.

This is not about ICE vs EV, this is about big vs small. Opulent vs necessary. Like the mayor is quoted saying in the article: It's about "very expensive cars, driven by people who today have not yet made the changes to their behaviour that have to be made". Heavy cars pollute more with their tires and brakes. That is why even heavy electric cars are affected.

But electric cars lack all tailpipe emissions.

Like GP mentioned, tires also pollute via abrasion.

2 tons is just slightly heavier than a Tesla Model Y, a compact SUV barely large enough for a family of 4

A Model Y by Parisian scale is a incredibly huge car. French (and honestly most European) families get by with VW Golf sized car.

Which means the cute french car has more than 500kg of headroom until it would have to pay the increased parking tariff...

and more than 2 tonnes for electric vehicles.

Maybe. Many countries in the EU already place heavy taxes on engine displacement, so a curb weight tax or vehicle size tax wouldn't be something entirely new.

In my experience, Svelte did a much better job and is closer to vanilla html/js

I just looked at some Svelte examples and it's a mix of magic keywords (on, bind) with magic symbols (: | @) and new, completely unrelated syntax to both JS and HTML (#each, #if, :else). I guess it looks way more idiomatic if you have an IDE that highlights and lints it correctly. React with its few rules of hooks seems way closer to vanilla JS.

Most of the danger (for me) comes from evil-mode. Adding prompts wouldn't make sense there ;P

Eh, there is plenty of safety equipment. Mainly undo-tree and magit.

and your cat will break it by simply looking at your keyboard.

Being off by one column of keys on your keyboard can really be a death sentence to your buffer (and maybe even codebase).

I think about a year ago they toned down pockets presence. It's basically just another extension now.

It's not that you can't. You can use vim for your accounting if you want.

I hate to be that guy, but Emacs org-mode has (un)surprisingly lots of spreadsheet features: https://orgmode.org/manual/The-Spreadsheet.html

My thoughts exactly. The F355 sounds like an angry, big 4 cylinder. Very much like a race car (but in street form). Love it.

Whats the point of this comment? You're obviously an extreme outlier. Are you implying the 49€ ticket is bad because it isn't an improvement for every single citizen?

Companies have been aware of the reputation gains for over a decade now. Modern Warfare 2 got tons of backlash when it released without a server browser in 2009. The next CoD, Black Ops 1, had support for dedicated servers. So did Modern Warfare 3.

Somewhat off-topic: Is there a way to stop any application from stealing focus? I hate it when the Terminal app grabs the focus while I'm typing something.

Apple once offered me 0€ for a one-year-old 13in MacBook Pro. In fact they even wanted like 30€ for processing etc.

To be honest |> looks more like a tipped over traffic cone to be begin with.

Sportscars and motorcycles are fun :)

Judging by the screenshot, both the text and search icon aren't even centered correctly :(

Gas from Russia was the magic ingredient that kept the whole renewables charade going, and we’re out of that now.

Bullshit. Importing on-mass energy from other nations was the "magic ingredient". That can be fixed in multiple ways. All of which are green.

I've tried to switch to Paredit (from Evil) but had trouble. Does anyone have a solid resource for learning?

The only real advantages afaik in ICE are better torque control and engine braking

I'd argue the majority of manual fans are into them not for any utilitarian reason, rather it's all about the enjoyment that comes from controlling a fun (i.e interesting powerband, characterful sound) engine with a satisfying shifter. Think of it like playing a musical instrument.

I highly doubt manuals will catch on for EVs because the electric motors are super smooth and their torque makes gears irrelevant (the Porsche Taycan being an outlier here).

Had two mail accounts nuked because of this around half a decade ago. Good luck OP.

I take little issue with .DS_Store because it's located where you expect. What I do have an issue with, are cached files that hide in folders that are unknown to me.

And? Those are additional features. The core is still light, easy and discoverable. All words that can't be said about Illustrator, Photoshop or InDesign.

What is special about Figma? Collaboration. Community. Nothing more.

Wrong: UX. Figma is way more intuitive to use because they had a blank slate when it came to the UI. The competition is stuck with gluing on new features, on an already multi-decade old tool.
