> So now I think to myself: if I want to remain portable, I'll just write a python script
How can you know that your Python implementation won't send your credit card details to an LLM when it runs your script? It does not follow an ISO standard that says it can't do that. You're not making assumptions about it's behavior, are you?
It does not. It just moves the edge case to a different position: trailing comma has the "issue" when adding an argument to the end of the list while leading comma has it when adding an argument to the beginning.
Also, as pointed out by the other commenter, any decent modern diff tool will make it obvious that the change to the existing line is just the addition of a comma, which makes the difference basically moot.
This has been my exact journey, been using Firefox since before it was called Firefox, finally got fed up a couple of years ago and switched to Vivaldi. It's such a breath of fresh air not having to dread update notifications anymore.
The rule of thumb according to youtubers is that 1000 video views is worth about $1 of ad share. Youtube's ad share is about 50%, so 1000 video views should be worth about $2 of ad money for Youtube. Youtube Premium costs $12 a month which is equivalent to 6000 video views per month or ~200 video views per day. If I'm on a very youtuby mood I'll maybe watch 10 videos in a day. So, best case scenario, paying for premium comes with a 20x markup.
So your conversation actually goes:
HN/Reddit: "I would love to just give you the money directly instead of watching ads in exchange for advertizers giving you money."
Companies: "Sure, here's the ad-free version. You have to pay 20 times as much as the advertizers do though."
Because if you're an executive that signs off on a project spinning out, and that project then becomes wildly successful, you're going to be blamed for letting that super lucrative project "escape".
DYN_ARR_RESET should probably be called DYN_ARR_INIT instead, as calling it more than once will leak memory.
The handling of endptr in DYN_ARR_RESIZE seems to be incorrect. If I have an array with 2 elements and capacity of 3 and I DYN_ARR_RESIZE it to 5, I now have an array with 5 elements, 3 of which are garbage values.
> Children do have rights. Some of them are restricted.
Exactly, therefore the claim in OP that "They can't claim a fucking fetus is a person and then not give it rights." isn't really sound. Our legal systems already claim that some beings (children in this example) are persons but that they aren't entitled to the full range of rights that adults enjoy.
Please do note that I'm not trying to argue any related issues (such as the legality of abortions), just that claim made by OP.
> They can't claim a fucking fetus is a person and then not give it rights.
Of course they can, we do it all the time. Children, for example, are people and they have very limited rights (especially in the area of freedom of movement).
> come up with the cleanest, easiest-for-humans syntax as possible, and tell browser vendors to fix their damn engines
W3C has zero leverage over the browser vendors. If they tried to do this the end result would be the same thing that happened to XHTML: the browser vendors would tell them to pound sand and announce that the de facto CSS standard would now be maintained by the WHATWG.
Doctors without borders provide free labor to needy children in war torn countries. Programmers provide free labor to first world corporations worth millions of dolars.
