I don't personally believe it's ever been true that users want the same UI styling across apps. When given the option to customize the colors or layout of an app, users will do that. People want their applications to follow common UI patterns, but applications should have some kind of personality to them, otherwise they just look like Microsoft or Apple products

Lisp becomes easier to read if you have an IDE plugin that removes opacity from parentheses

Looks cool!

What do you mean by DACH mentality?

Rust will yell at you if you use specific magic numbers like these

I appreciated the simplicity of this page

In a way that is comparable to enslaving human beings?

In what way is VSCode comparable to enslaving human beings?

Are you saying there isn't any tool which checks whether you're using your types correctly? If not, then the two aren't comparable at all

they usually allow passing at specified points

I believe there should be stricter gun control, but that people should be allowed to carry other forms of self defense such as pepper spray or tasers (I understand these are illegal in some countries). If we invented a gun which allowed hunters to hunt but somehow didn't let people should other people, I can only see that as a positive

Well obviously the police would have access to other kinds of guns, but if civilian guns were only capable of shooting deer then that would be a definite plus

If the entire country had speed limiters and they increased the speed limits by 5mph to make 55 match 60, I'd be happy. I just have no sympathy for people who think it's their god given right to go as fast as they think they need to go.

Well python allows for type annotations as part of the language; javascript does not, so the compilation stage in typescript is just about erasing types for the most part (typescript tries to have minimal impact on the runtime). It just seems like a worse option than typescript's syntax. Bun runs typescript natively without doing any of the type checking

Putting a microchip in people's brains is a completely different thing than putting a microchip in people's cars. People have a right to bodily autonomy; they don't have a right to drive a car. The first would violate human rights on principle alone, the second has no implication on human rights

- AI guns that won't shoot at other people, only authorized in-season animals.

That sounds like a legitimately good idea, why would you need a gun that shoots people

But on the highway they are watching over you so you don't break any laws. They have police officers who patrol the highways and traffic cameras. If this had any implications on people's basic human rights, I might agree but driving is a privilege, not a right.

In my state, 20-25 over can get you arrested. Do it multiple times and you can go to jail

Virginia

two vehicles driving next to each other slowing gaining on another to overtake is also creating a dangerous road situation

Then perhaps you shouldn't pass if it's not safe to do so. My problem with everyone in this thread and who is against speed limiters is: the subtext is that they want to go faster than the speed limit so they can arrive faster. It's simply the fact that people are willing to engage is an extremely dangerous activity multiple times a day so that they can save a few minutes a day. The idea that people should have the right to go dangerously fast because it's simply more convenient for them is a psychotic proposition to me

Well 5mph isn't really speeding; as far I know they set the speed limits 5mph lower than they really are (e.g: 55mph means 60mph).

But trust me, the imaginary police are very much not imaginary. I got a couple speeding tickets before I decided I wasn't going to deal with the courts ever again. Now, I do the speed limit. I see cops everywhere on the highways in my state and they definitely will pull you over going 10-ish over. Until recently, anything over 80mph (even if the highway was posted 70mph) was reckless driving (now It's 85 I think)

In my state, it's illegal to go over the speed limit at any point, for any reason. If you want to pass someone, you do so in the left lane, at the speed limit, and then move back over to the middle/right lane. And you best believe you'll get pulled over

If you hog the left lane, sure. I follow the posted speed limit and it's never a problem for me

You have no sympathy for me when i find myself driving amongst others who drive above the limit?

I also often find myself driving among other people who speed. I stay to the right with the OTHER drivers who are following the law. I always drive the speed limit and it's never a problem for me. Many states' laws require this, anyway (faster traffic to the left, slower traffic to the right).

I'm confused; how is jsdoc an alternative to typescript? They serve totally different functions.

Personally I don't think there's any good argument not to use typescript over javascript

What has happened to Hong Kong? I've never been

No, some of the best albums ever were all written around a common theme. Having nothing but a collection of singles makes it hard for artists to commit to a subgenre for a while without making it their identity. I think Pink Floyd is the best example of this (the large difference between Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall) or perhaps any album written by David Bowie (where his albums experimented with characters or identities such as Ziggy Stardust and the Thin White Duke, in conjunction with new sounds) but My Chemical Romance is a more contemporary example (for me, anyways), with Welcome to the Black Parade standing in contrast to Danger Days. I don't listen to Taylor Swift, but she's supposedly remade her identity around each new album release (or what her fans call Eras)

I have found several points in my career where taking the extra time to learn math fundamentals (particularly linear algebra) has paid off when learning something more high level. People often say that the math in machine learning doesn't matter and you can staple python libraries together but I've made convincing arguments in product design meetings based on how the mathematics of certain algorithms lends itself to our particular use case and how it helps scalability

Some laptops will map 789uiojkl to the keypad with fn

I doubt it; you can insert unicode symbols with Win-. now, so the alt keys aren't as important.

Personally I used to see coworkers with 65 or 60% mechanical keyboard and I have no clue how they could code without arrow, home, or page up/down keys. They must have been really committed to vim keys or something.
