JavaScript

To start off... Using arithmetic operators on strings in combination with integers is a pure skill issue. Let's disregard this.

If you were to use + where one part is a string, it's natural to assume a string appending is desired since + is commonly used as a function for this. On the other hand, - is never used for any string operation. Therefore, it's safe to assume that it relates to actual artihmetics and any strings should therefore be converted to numerical values.

This is an issue with untyped languages. If you don't like it, use typescript. End of story.

First two results when you search for lemmy on reddit.

Both of these posts are complaining about their accounts being banned, which happened because they (at least one of them) posted low effort questions and therefore got lots of downvotes and got automatically banned by a system meant to ban bots and trolls. The irony is that reddit has major problems with their automatic moderation which you yourself as an user is completely powerless to controll, e.g. recently when a massive amount of nsfw subreddits were banned for being unmoderated which they later admitted was erroneous.

People are saying that this is a low percentage, but I think it could be considered high. Murder (i.e. not necessarily killing a human in general) is classically and in general a really bad thing. Even if people don't care for the parasitic company's CEO and might be glad that he's dead, I could imagine that their gut feeling would tell them to not consider an assassination acceptable.
