Sorry, i don't know how to put that politely, but it's fucking ridiculous. There is NO SITUATION ever where a speed of 180 kph is necessary to avoid an accident. Life is not a Marvel movie.

I really wish we did carbon tax thirty years ago. Now, it's likely too late - we have 10 years to cut emissions in half, we (as in, the world) haven't even started to do anything since the Paris accords, even in Europe - which doe

Firefox died to me when they rewrote their plugin system and i had to give up on vimperator. Yeah, yeah, quantum is snappy, but so is Chrome. The plugin ecosystem was an actual differentiator.

Anything taken to the extreme is stupid. What's the point exactly ?

Is it though? Is it trivial to write, and maintain, over-engineered code that actually accomplish its business goals ?
