Sets are super useful for all sorts of stuff where you want the datatype to guarantee there is only one instance of a value in the collection. UI components where you are incrementally adding things to a selection is a great example.

It's a completely standard feature in many stdlibs and has nothing to with turning JS into a database.

It may well be different in NL, I'm not going to argue with that. But 'ontwikkelaar' is literally a different word in a different language - no surprise that it may have different semantics to the closest word in English!

This is not true at all, except maybe in very specific places (e.g. some jurisdictions do not allow you to call yourself an engineer without a specific qualification).

Software Engineer and Developer are essentially interchangeable terms and largely a matter of taste.

Dubai isn't in Saudi Arabia.

Where is there an LEZ that forces you to buy a 'new car'? The ones I'm aware of require compliance with either fairly or very old emissions standards.

For example, in London, the ULEZ requires that petrol cars be Euro 4 (every UK vehicle since 2006 complies automatically) and diesel cars to be Euro 6 (mandatory for new cars since mid-2015). So, worst case, the vehicle needs to be newer than eight years old. More than 90% of vehicles driving into the expanded ULEZ area were already compliant before it became active.

Selfish behaviour, wasting public money because they don't like a scheme created to improve the health of normal Londoners.

A single loud exhaust can wake up 10,000 people. The impact on mental and physical health if this happens a few times a night is immense.

Motorists had their chance to not ruin the world for everyone else, and they failed the test. Time to intervene.

EVs don't fix congestion, don't fix particulates from tyres, don't fix tyre noise (which dominates above 30mph), don't fix crash deaths, don't fix road damage, don't fix energy usage and don't fix cars contributing to sedentary lifestyles.

Perhaps we should also be looking at some other solutions while we transition to from ICE vehicles EVs.

Great to see that Google has been funding compiler performance work. Hope they continue.

Apparently a single loud motorbike/scooter can wake up 10000 people while passing through a large city. So yes.

It does seem like things are getting slowly better in the sense that, ten years ago, this post would probably end with them being completely ignored or receiving some kind of legal threat. But it would be much nicer if companies could just stop. leaking. personal. data.

Some interesting insight into how you build a street that prioritises cyclists.

I had no idea how much I needed a game to feature Richard Ayoade until I watched this trailer.
