   It doesn't matter how precise the value is, as long as it's precise enough for your use-case and as long as machines are handling it. If the value is displayed in a UI and it's rounded off to a reasonable decimal there, I don

    I used to write php and JavaScript at the same time. Turns out nested ternaries get evaluated differently in both languages, leading to some subtle bugs sometimes. I will never write those without parentheses again.

    Couldn't agree more, html should be just one implementation amongst others. It's good for documents, it's lousy for richer experiences. The rich experience shouldn't be built on top of HTML, it should live next to it.

    My example is literally the real world version of the example in the article, only thing I did was change string values and identifier names. If you say my example works as an abstraction, it means that it successfully refutes the argument

    Exactly, why are we so ok with businesses trying to manipulate us into buying things that we don't ask for? I mean I understand that a business needs to make money, but that shouldn't excuse you for doing this manipulation. You ca
