The HTTPS is still a problem for some streaming music sites. e.g. streamingsoundtracks.com runs HTTP.

Related, "Currently Ryanair employees are paid around €1.50 for every oversized cabin bag that they identify" https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2025/0721/1524508-ryanair-ba...

so should we coin a new term for this? Maybe snitchnomics?

"The x_position and y_position can unfortunately not get a smaller type nor can a float be unsigned." If you have latest C++, you can use float16_t or bfloat16_t to get smaller type https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/types/floating-point.html
