It desugars similarly, but the Python version doesn't have a name. Any t-string is a t-string, there's no HTML t-string or SQL t-string or anything like that. It's just a t-string you can pass to a function: html_string

How much of that was due to promises of future performance that still haven't been fulfilled, and likely never will be?

First, let's not talk about dating and work in the same argument - they are fundamentally different in many important ways, and it's not conductive to the conversation. Second, at least call a spade a spade - according to you, whe

Simple example: you want to develop a game and are looking for example implementations of specific mechanics or UI elements. You go through existing titles, and exclude those that use implementations that don't work well for colorblind

Weird, I don't need to do that. Also weird that Typescript has exactly the mechanism you're talking about. Why are you acting like it doesn't?

Almost every language has some way to do stupid things. Say you're working in C# - you can forcefully cast almost anything to almost anything else, just like in TS. So according to you, C# is just as bad as TS in this respect, right?

Many, if not most, of these occurrences can be made safe. It's very rare that I need `as`, and even more rare that I can't actually check the relevant properties at runtime to ensure the code path is valid. It's on you to ens

What's the big difference between `unsafe` and `as` regarding explicit labelling? Both are opt-in and explicit. As the user of a function, you don't see either from the outside. If you don't like `as`, it's fine to use a

I've long been wishing for the same! With service workers etc. this would be a perfect approach for many small utilities. I've started building things as single HTML files using vite-plugin-singlefile[0], but users either have to

On the other hand, disallowing bypassing it limits what you can do. There's always a ceiling to what the compiler can figure out, and some very complex types can't be analysed statically right now. By allowing bypassing the system

I kind of doubt that everyone does this. How many, relatively speaking, do? You seem to be sure this is a very frequent occurrence.

Why make my initial comment? I keep seeing this assertion in discussions around Twitter, but I've never seen it substantiated beyond personal anecdotes, and it runs counter to my own observations. It's possible that I'm wrong

There's obviously one issue stopping them: there are far more people using public transportation than there are chairs in there, so it's once again physically impossible to accommodate everyones tastes. This is not the case with a

It's significant enough to directly prove that degraded vision leads to worse driving. This is very significant if we decide whether a driving system should only use vision, which can degrade.

I appreciate you asking, but I've had these discussions before, and they've never turned out to be fruitful. At this point I'm only interested in (and going to change my mind if presented with) independent studies, but since

My personal observation shows the opposite.

Note that this is a very one-sided presentation of the issue - most easily seen by the fact that the article doesn't actually link to any of the unshortened quotes they're pushing: https://www.politico.eu/article&#

Are there any independent studies that have confirmed this? I don't think such a study would still be possible given the API access limitations. We know that Twitter used to comply with far fewer government censorship requests in count

You said it yourself - you literally can't use public transport without either standing or sitting on their chairs. It's a physical limitation. But it's entirely possible to use public transport without having ads shoved in

You are aware that more accidents happen per mile at night? If people drove at night just fine, this wouldn't be the case.

YAML seems easier to read, but for me it's much harder to actually read properly since so many things are ambiguous. JSON is very explicit - you always know the data type you're looking at. YAML has a bunch of special cases that

While these edge cases are fairly rare in everyday JS codebases, Typescript adds some, e.g. inline type casts for function calls: const foo = someFn() (foo as Bar).doSomething()
