The body needs sugar, but you don't need to consume sugar to get it. You produce your own glucose.

There's 44g of sugar in a can of coke. The recommended daily amount of sugar is 24g. Although I take issue that there would be any amount of sugar that should be recommended since it's entirely unnecessary to consume.

Or maybe they understand them perfectly and have come across enough obtuse code using reduce to not want it as part of the language.

After using esbuild and experiencing fast builds, I'll never go back to tools written in javascript/typescript again.

There's healthy competition between local bakeries. If one refuses you, you can just go to another. Try doing that with the App Store. P.S. I don't believe companies should be able to discriminate based on sexual preference, I just dislike this comparison.

Nearly half of our genome is thought to have had a viral origin. It's a bit of a simplification to say that we "don't need to experience" any illness. We would not be what we are today without it.

Population density of Norway is about 38 people per square mile. Population density of LA is 7009 people per square mile.

I don't think it's a fair comparison just because absolute population is similar.

Healthcare is consistently ranked as a top 2 priority amongst Americans polled and has over 70% support. It even have majority support amongst republican voters. This is a false equivalency.

One thing that strikes me about my dog's awareness is he picks up on landmarks really easily. Once we get within a mile of the vet his demeanor changes and he becomes sulky. On the contrary, once we're in a mile or so from my mother's house he perks up and gets extremely excited. It'd be interesting to read research on how good a dog's spacial awareness is and how they manage to find themselves home while being miles away.

Very good, let's petition to ban signal. In fact, let's ban encryption altogether as such a technology can be used to coordinate terrorist attacks.

Julia v1 was released in 2018. It's currently about as popular as elixir. Is the author really complaining that it hasn't over taken as the lingua franca in two years? Python is over 20 years old and it's only hit it's stride in popularity over the last 5.
