I just checked one old take home task in Angular I did last year and the total number of lines is over five million over 35k+ files.

Apple pioneered some huge anti-repairability measures like e.g. soldered-in RAM.

Wasn't always that way though. I recall repairing a late 2011 MBP, so contemporary to the first soldered MBAs. Really easy to work on, with the battery held in place with just two triangular screws. That was four years ago and the user is still using it.

Hugely depends on the city. Where I live it's the cargo trains and airliners. Congestion is too severe for anyone to make significant noise, unless they have modified/dysfunctional exhausts or particularly large engines.

Many things surprised me there, but it's the relative quiteness that did it the most.

Trains arriving like massive ghosts, cars obeying the speed limit and not a single soul gunning it from the intersection.

Meanwhile back home every night I can hear all kinds of "motoring enthusiasts" abusing their machines so that they won't hear their intrusive thoughts or something. It feels like a zoo in comparison.

It's a serious disability even today decreasing life expectancy by 10-15 years.

One may have different opinions regarding the quality of life of these people while they're alive, but I think we can agree that 60 years is a short lifespan for a human.

EDIT: also main point of eugenics, which seems to be not widely understood, was that the state would decide both what kind of children are born and who gets to have them. It was not unheard of to take sufficiently "aryan"-looking newborns from their "inferior race" parents and give them to "master race" adoptive parents.

This lack of agency on part of biological parents is a core tenet of eugenics.

I find that unlikely.

I'll be scrolling HN from the trenches long before any army reaches Berlin.

My faculty had an "institute of nuclear problems" in the basement and considering the people who revived the institution after world war 2 and their proteges had no issue naming a program for analyzing oscilloscope data ANAL, this was no accident.

Also humans are uniquely... human.

I play one of those extraction shooters and even a much higher ranked player, who would normally have no issue downing my team of three in an open fight, will eventually get worn down if we hide around and harass them. Also they might just lose patience earlier and start making mistakes due to that.

Hard to model something like this because people are different and react in complex ways.

I'm not a native English speaker and every now and then I see a comment in my mother tongue (downvoted to all hell of course). It's usually some kind of offhand remark.

The project is (partly) open source and whenever some data provider changes their API, they welcome contributions to address that:

That's not the reason.

TypeScript's main design goal was to enable developers to gradually introduce types in codebases that spent years being written purely in JS.

There's still demand for this feature and those who start off with TypeScript set their own config anyway.

I've dealt with people using all kinds of escape hatches, but 2/3 of the time it's caused by lack of proficiency in the language.

The rest is either someone being in a hurry or just not serious about their job.
