Do you happen to remember where this stat came from? I have not heard about it and would be interested in learning more about it

Which part is gone?

There’s a paper about it, linked from the blog post: https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.06391

Yes, but the discussion here was about it being a gradual, gradual type system, as in, the gradual type system being added gradually

Pretty sure your first paragraph was enough, don’t really see the point of bringing up a rape victim example.
I mean, “dutonians” from PagerDuty is enough to illustrate how ridiculous this whole thing is

What are these clear indications (beside the potential draft point)?

I am not qualified to make any comments on the legal difference between the terms either, and I should also add that I am an ESL, so take that with a grain of salt.
Reading the original comments about being "liable", it felt like another way of saying "there are consequences to your decisions, and as the author you bear some responsibility of what you put out there", which imo is pretty far from how the author of this blog post described it, hence me calling "a pretty big stretch"

Ha, perfect, exactly what I was looking for, thanks for pointing it out, didn't realize I was looking at a subsection of the thread, my bad.
But it confirms what I was thinking, going from "liable" to "criminally prosecuted" is a pretty big stretch imo.

Assuming the "criminally prosecuted" piece is a reference to that thread [1], based on what other comments have also pointed out, did anyone in there actually say that, or imply it? I read that thread and didn't see anything close to that, there is clearly harsh language in there, such as:
> Look if you can't understand that this is a thing that will happen in the real world and that people will potentially suffer as a result you shouldn't be writing a crypto library.
Which is still far from suggesting someone should be prosecuted.

Feeling required to post about the Building Git[1] book, really love it, for anyone interested in a walkthrough of rebuilding many of the most of important git features, from scratch, in ruby.

This. Sure, floating point numbers come with a footgun, but the title is so clickbaity, would it really hurt to name it: "What I wish I knew about floating numbers before relying on them?"

> the dynamism of js is disappearing
As an outsider, really curious to hear more about this. Is it from an ecosystem point of view, where the "dynamism is disappearing" or more from a day to day, the fact that writing TS is significantly different than writing JS? Or even something else?

The progressive rehashing described in the article is very similar to what Redis does [1].
Just thought I'd share a example of a use case where the incremental rehashing logic makes sense.

> Long distance running will wear your meniscus out.
Is there any research to back that? Everything I’ve ready says that it is not a fatality and that it is possible to run, for many years (life?) without destroying your joints.
It’s my understanding that your statement is as accurate as saying “driving a car will result in you getting in a car accident”. It’s extremely possible and it has happened to many people but it doesn’t mean it _has_ to happen
