Yes, my point is that many green advocates / leftists mistakenly think that per capita energy usage will go down.

My point is that once it’s decoupled from emissions there is no reason for it to, so it will skyrocket, so western governments should be focusing on building out excessive seeming levels of clean electricity generation.

In the short term it has and will, while we have low hanging fruit we can tackle, stuff like insulating houses, not burning fossil fuels, and taxing carbon output so that commercial / industrial processes take it into account has all lead to reductions, but those won’t last forever. I mean, now that Solar / Wind are cheaper than fossil fuels, a carbon tax alone no longer incentivizes reductions in energy use since energy and carbon output have been decoupled.

Once we finished doing those basic things that we should have been doing for decades, per capita energy use will trend back up, and overall energy use has still been trending upwards this whole time anyways due to population growth.

Yes, it most literally and inarguably is:

• ISO/IEC 21778 - Information technology — The JSON data interchange syntax

8 Numbers A number is a sequence of decimal digits with no superfluous leading zero. It may have a preceding minus sign (U+002D). It may have a fractional part prefixed by a decimal point (U+002E). It may have an exponent, prefixed by e (U+0065) or E (U+0045) and optionally + (U+002B) or – (U+002D). The digits are the code points U+0030 through U+0039.

It will cause casting errors in other languages that have badly written, non-standards compliant, JSON parsers, as 1 and 1.0 being the same is part of the official JSON ISO standard and has been for a long time: https://json-schema.org/understanding-json-schema/reference/numeric

As an abstract system, yeah, that is mechanistically how it works. If you live your life and make real world decisions based on an abstract system that doesn’t accurately and wholistically model the real world, then you’re either lying to yourself, or us, or you don’t understand the purpose of money and capitalism in the first place.

Because that object is of a type where that member may or may not exist. That is literally the exact same behaviour as Java or C#.

If I cast or type check it to make sure it’s of type Bar rather than checking for the member explicitly it still works:

And when I cast it to Foo it throws a compile time error, not a runtime error:

If anyone thought we were heading to a future of lower power consumption they were deluding themselves. We can lower emissions by eliminating fossil fuels, but per capita net power consumption will, on average, continue going up, because it will still always correlate with getting useful physical work done.

Western countries need to figure out that the future will lbe dominated by who can produce the most clean energy, the cheapest.

You do not have a right or obligation to leverage your advantage at the expense of everyone else, no matter how many Ayn Rand loving psychopaths will try and argue otherwise.

I think that might be user error as I can’t recreate that:

Pretty much the only language that handles this worse is Python (and maybe Lua? I don’t really know much about Lua though).

This is the case for literally all interpreted languages, and is an inherent part of them being interpreted.

However, while I recognize that can happen, I’ve literally never come across it in my time working on Typescript. I’m not sure what third party libraries you’re relying on but the most popular OAuth libraries, ORMs, frontend component libraries, state management libraries, graphing libraries, etc. are all written in pure Typescript these days.

Honestly the meme of ‘JavaScript bad’ is so tired and outdated it’s ridiculous. It made sense 14 years ago before invention of Typescript and ES5/6+, but these days it basically just shows ignorance or the blind regurgitation of a decade old meme.

Typescript is hands down the most pleasant language to work in, followed closely by the more modern compiled ones like Go, Swift, C#, and miles ahead of widely used legacy ones like Java, and PHP etc. and the white space, untyped, nightmare that is python.

I’m like 99% sure that it’s just because JavaScript / Typescript is so common that for anyone who doesn’t start with it, it’s the second language they learn, and at that point they’re just whiny and butthurt about learning a new language.

Lol name one outside of it’s well known equality rules that linters check for.

Also, name the language you think is better.

Because for those of us who have coded in languages that are actually bad, hearing people complain about triple equals signs for the millionth time seems pretty lame.

Aaaannnnddddd it’s cancelled.
