I'd tend to agree with you, except for the fact that Rust reserved words are reserved everywhere. Even if the syntax were changed, you still couldn't name a field "async" or "return". Since it's no extra burden on the namespace, I'm less opposed to it.

I'm on the fence about disambiguation via unique punctuation, vs avoiding Perl-like line noise.

In fact, plenty of people in science and engineering are religious or spiritual. They just aren't as loud online, because of exactly these sorts of comments. Try to respect the beliefs of others, even if you don't share them.

I've translated several mathematical papers into code, and I must strongly disagree. The very first thing I do is translate glyphs into names relevant to the domain I'm applying the math to. It makes the rest of the process immensely easier.

Even better, traveling at c, it would take exactly zero shipboard time. Space contracts infinitely for the sufficiently fast. Only outside viewers would see it take 4.5 years.

There's nothing ethical about the way advertising invades every part of society, every corner of your home, and every available minute of human attention. Blocking ads is eminently moral, because the only way to stop their encroach is to punish their purchase by blocking them.

Massive housing price inflation relative to median incomes, for one, which the popularity of real estate and rental property ownership as an investment/speculation tool has greatly contributed to.

In the real world, maybe 5% do the math. The rest are dazzled or browbeaten by apps and continuous demands for some permission they don't fully understand the scope of.

Can I just mention how mind-bogglingly stupid a milage tax on car registration would be? No matter how efficient your new car is, it's less polluting to repair the old one and keep it on the road, than to manufacture a new car.

IRC works pretty well. I really fail to understand why any tech project puts their chat on Slack/Discord/Whatever when IRC is easy and open.

That's hardly the point. Point is, blanket statements are harmful and usually wrong.

I don't. I have a vitamin sometimes when I remember, but I don't drink booze, tea, or coffee, smoke, take antidepressants, focus drugs, anything. I also don't play with essential oils, homeopathy, crystals, or other placebos. Heck, I don't even take painkillers or headache medicine unless I've got stitches. So, while I would agree that most probably do, you can't say 'everyone'.

See, that's the point where I usually wish I hadn't used a framework. As your design gets more and more convoluted, the amount of switches, toggles, and special cases that you have to build into the widgets tends to balloon. Most current frameworks make that an exhausting exercise in state drilling, and it becomes hard to reason about how any given change in application state will affect the view.
