Malicious compliance is not the law-maker's fault.

Maybe you can trick our naive western friends, but not me.

Being an indifferent somnambula is not the same as being against war.

I've been thinking why Fastify never got more popular despite being seemingly good, battle-tested, and Matteo Collina's authority.

In Typescript you would need to use additional libraries like this: https://typia.io/

"If I could add one feature to Typescript it would be something like "as" that actually validates the result against the type system and can fail." - I don't think it's fair to expect that since most of the statically typed languages will not guarantee things in runtime unless you specifically run a validation code in runtime.

There's also type guards and good old self-written validation functions you can use.

The 2nd point stands though. A person with good or perfect pitch will quickly tune to another frequency.

Besides being a neat party trick, it gives more possibilities and makes things easier if a person wants to work with music professionally, especially with academical (aka "classical") music.

"I assume that if the learner drifts later in life by under a semitone, then things will seem like they're between keys." - problem that never occurred to anyone with a perfect or just good pitch.

I have no reason to believe that back in the day when internet was only for nerds the situation was different.

Learning to code just so you understand better the AI output makes sense.

Learning to code and making it your profession - I think times are really hard for juniors now. The bar will be high, especially considering systems thinking and general intelligence. Coding for work is not as much fun. Herding a bunch of LLM tools and trying to force them to make something you need is arguably not fun.

For what it's worth, I don't think those good old times of high salaries and relaxed work for developers will ever come back.

1. Habit. We're used to use Telegram for everything: news sources, social network, messaging, memes. Telegram has more capabilities than other apps. You can't realistically move your family and friends to another messaging app because of all of that and the network effect.

2. General attitude of all people towards privacy and sharing data: they don't really care. It's "Who would even care about my data?" and "I've got nothing to hide" all the way.

I doubt most of people ever thought about the topic of trusting a messaging app. It's not the framework they operate in.

There are two global psyops done by I don't know who:

1. That Bitcoin is safe and anonymous.

2. That Telegram is super safe for whatever shady or private stuff you want to do.

One of the best marketing campaigns ever.

I would also want to use this chance to alert everyone who uses Telegram that:

1. It's not e2e by default.

2. They use proprietary encryption protocol. You don't have access to code.

3. I don't think Telegram is profitable, I don't know how it can be with that scale. Which makes you wonder.

4. If you open in-message links, you have a chance of losing your account to hackers thanks to the old vulnerability that hasn't been fixed for years. You literally have to check the list of devices connected to your account every 12 hours if you want to be safe.
