In general Europe is quite safe, but tourists scammed in some more popular destinations does happen quite a bit. But Europe is also quite heterogeneous. E.g. in Scandinavia getting scammed or pickpocketed is really rare, but in say Barcelon

That liberals are the left wing in US is quite telling. In Europe and Latin America liberals are (center-)right.

Having a directory like node_modules containing the dependencies is such an obviously good choice, it's sad how Python steering council actively resists this with what I find odd arguments. I think a lot of the decades old farce of Pyt

Uninstalling can be a problem. Versioning OTOH is often more problematic with distro package managers that can't support multiple versions of the same package. Also inability to do user install is a big problem with distro managers.

Why? Uv very good compared to other Python package managers, but even plain npm is still better than uv, and pnpm is a lot better.

Installing an out-of-distro deb/rpm/msi/dmg/etc package is just as unsafe as curl|sh. Or even unsafer, as packages tend to require root/admin.

The point is that with a more expressive language new features could be added as libraries instead of changing the language itself. This is right before the paragraph I quoted: "In modern programming languages, the language itself cons

Much of the critique is that it's large and complicated because of bad design. "Because SQL is so inexpressive, incompressible and non-porous it was never able to develop a library ecosystem. Instead, any new functionality that is

It's indeed rare to see the fine-grained item toggles only nowadays. But at least they are all off by default (unless I fell into some sort of dark pattern and misunderstood). Still quite clearly illegal though. Rejecting tracking shou

That sounds like a lot of samples. Even with 192kHz 32 bit stereo wav that's way over half a year of continuous audio. With 96kHz 32 bit FLAC it would be around three years.

Businesses typically do need to file. Individuals may have to report some of the deductables they want to claim. E.g. in Finland employers deduct taxes directly from salaries. Also some capital gains taxes are directly deducted by banks etc

A convenient thing about npm is that you automatically get a CDN too. https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/css-extras@0.3.1/index.css

I've noted that LLMs tend to produce defensive code to a fault. Lots of unnecessary checks, e.g. check for null/None/undefined multiple times for same valie. This can lead to really hard to read code, even for the LLM itself.

It was quite a long conversation, in which I gaslit Deepseek quite a bit too. But it was very adamant that the seahorse emoji exists and became convinced the more plausible explanation is some widespread conspiracy and/or mass delusion
