Hard when those sites are things like your bank, your government official stuff pages, etc.

This attestation stuff is a "not such a bad idea in its basic principle" thing that will actually absolutely get abused everywhere in every way including being used to kill off browser competitors, enhance monopoly positions, etc.

It needs to be stopped now.

There's people on one side saying the shooting is unjustified, there's people on a other saying it was justified.

And then there's all of us that are like "why would you shoot someone over this, and why is the whole thing handled so dangerously?".

Why not note the registration plate and then get her later? By turning the scenario into a thing they also endangered everyone else around the car.

Whole thing is poor. These police need some basic scenario management training, and to learn how to not escalate situations.

The difference is that this is a "bloaty" webapp but is a very useful one that has actual practical value, in comparison to the typical poor modern "we made a tiny website into a massive slow JS heavy" webapp.

Genuinely, thank you for detailed comments like this. My partner is Chinese. She won't talk about stuff like this but I know she's experienced some of it, and seeing comments like yours helps me to understand it more.

You're looking at it from a logical view,

The answer is pretty much that her partner is a minority that the state hates, so they want to punish that person and anyone who supports her,

And it's just that. Perhaps they could escape, but I presume they both have family there, and then they may not be able to return, etc.

Even when you're using a dynamically typed Lang you should be using all the appropriate scanners and linters, but so many projects just don't.

I joined a large project half way through and I ran pylint and stared as the errors (not just style stuff) poured out...

This is a bit too extreme. I guess I'd say it's more like... they do sometimes make something good, and then make it awkward to use outside of Windows/attach other arbitrary nonsense restrictions etc.

I am programmer turned "everything else around the code" doer. I constantly have to correct/suggest UI and UX improvements and it can be such a time sink to tell devs to change stuff for it...

Not really what you're after, but... Using a gui text editor means scrolling is usually smoother. Similarly, horizontal scrolling/wraparound experience is better.

Semi related: Did you know they the jetbrains IDEs have official vim-like key bindings? I converted a windows gvim user to it.
