Schiphol Amsterdam is € 124 for to weeks (€ 8,26 per day). Not cheap, but for many people cheaper than taking a taxi.

You can complain about the Dutch NS, but in most countries, it’s way worse.

Some numbers people from other countries can only dream about:

punctuality less than 5 minutes: 89.7% punctuality less than 15 minutes: 97.0%

It's time the US realizes how bad its medical system is.

Windows became big because it was the successor of MS-DOS, the OS for the IBM PC, which architecture became popular because of cheap clones.

This wouldn’t happen with Atari or Amiga.

"This framework feels very natural to me" says person using the framework for ten years.

In Lit, a web component framework, you can set properties with, for example, href=... and you can set attributes with .href=...

This can be taken over to JSX.

To be productive in Angular, you also have to know RxJS, which comes with twenty or so functions you have to become familiar with and with some peculiarities like hot and cold observables. So, no, Angular is not easy to learn.

No.

You can have freedom of speech, but there’s no country were it’s absolute. You’re always responsible for consequences of what you say.

If your only examples are leftPad and isNumber, I can’t take this article seriously. There are so many really useful micro libraries.

You can use Flutter now. Go use it. Stop whining.

For IT people:

"At a big IT company, I migrated the CRM to a new system and the revenue went up with 6%".

Right.

If an agreement is not consistent with the law, the law wins en the agreement is (partially or as a whole) void.

Yes. Try making a death threat with a water gun

Why do you want a real gun? I bet most uses are to bully people. It seems that's the kind of social network Elon wants.

The gun emoji is used to make death threats etcetera. Why do you want that on a social media platform? It's not politics, it's just decency.

You can just label it as "might contain traces of X due to cross contamination". At least that's how they do it in Europe.
