A language usually doesn't become worse with time, at least if the devs do a good job at improving it.

There are cases of new languages that looked better but didn't become mainstream because the ecosystem requires time to grow (and adoption, which creates a vicious cycle because adoption requires ecosystem to already be there)

Just for the sake of being contrary, I know that there are still machines running on punch cards in some army-related places, where not changing anything is mandatory. I wouldn't be surprised if hot-wiring is also still there somewhere, it's just mostly running without changes.

To this I completely agree, a lot of people don't want to use the tools for the benefit of the future colleagues or even self

And the blame has those commit messages. That is beside the fact that most authors may not even work there anymore

This is an interesting finding, but there are two important things to keep in mind: they only reviewed some illnesses, and even there one had better cure rate for longer treatment, this means we need a lot more studies. And another one I will quote from the article you linked:

You should still follow your doctor’s instructions about the length of antibiotic therapy.

If you are feeling better and think that you may not need the entire course, be sure to ask your doctor first.

Considering that many will not be able to ask a doctor on time to stop early, both because it may cost extra and because there's usually a waiting list of who knows how long, it seems unrealistic to expect real change soon.

So, I partially agree with you and will try to spread the info and ask doctors about this, but I think it should rather be seen as a need for more studies. Maybe there already are more, the article is from 2017, but right now I don't have time to search for that.

Thank you for the information

We're below reproduction rate in most parts of the world, and likely will fall below in the rest of the world during this century, so we're already in the 'find out' era :(

And you have sources? Because last time I checked this was the worst way of doing it, as you leave enough bacteria to try and mutate into resistivity.

If you already had resistant bacteria, taking antibiotics wouldn't heal you for long anyway, tried it first hand a few months ago.

Hashes are 'proper cryptography', it's just that sometimes even when you use the right tools you get a bad result, e.g. when a backdoor exists in the hashing parameters that is hard to find. Yes, sometimes hashes are overused, but this example here doesn't seem like the case, and true randomness wouldn't allow the proofs to be deterministic, thus requiring everything to be checked which is not desirable because it requires time and power to do so.

Maintainers, I guess, as in, the update that was rolled out, was broken for some users. But I don't know if that's the case here

But then someone will have to deal with it somewhere, better just unwrap it under the carpet.

it’s clear at this point already that Zig is a weakly-typed language

Uhm... pretty sure it isn't.

They seem to think any type inference makes for a weak typing, judging by their previous rant about auto in C++

So, yeah, author's views are a bit special, not sure this article will help me be better :(

Albeit true, I want to note that some languages encourage such practices way more than others do. Also, when you've got a hammer everything looks like a ~~string~~ nail.
