I live in Australia, where most large banks support Apple Pay and all payment terminals support it too. That's probably a result of the Aussie market's love of contactless - for normal shopping, practically nobody swipes a card anymore when you can just tap and go.

Apple Pay takes that a step further and I can now tap and go from my phone. It's incredibly convenient because I know it's supported everywhere with a payment terminal. And I do have a wallet, with my driver's license, my card, my public transport card and a few notes in it - it just stays in the glovebox of my car if I'm getting groceries or going shopping somewhere. That way I don't have to worry about losing it or having it stolen. Plus, for doing everyday things, I don't really feel like I have a need to keep ID on me at all times - and if I do, I just bring my license.

Seer on the Windows Store is an alternative which works pretty well for the default file types (images, text files, PDFs). However, I don't think it works in the open/save dialog boxes.

I live in Australia, and I’ve always been taught to wear a helmet. It’s just a thing everybody knows now. Every bike you buy even has a sticker saying “use your head, wear a helmet.”

I think many of the side effects you mention arise from systemic biases when people aren’t used to helmet wear. Drivers wouldn’t overestimate safety when all cyclists wear helmets; this would take time to set in, but with compulsory helmet wear it would certainly occur.

As for inconvenience, and comfort, it’s hard to know the long-term effects of this. Once compulsory, future generations or cyclists may not mind as much because they don’t know an alternative. Anecdotally, nobody I know has ever complained about helmets being bulky or uncomfortable, because... it’s just how it is.

You might be interested in coc.nvim, which can allow vim to use the LSP servers which powers VSC's intellisense. It's a bit of setup, but I've found with coc.nvim and a good syntax highlighting plugin, I can get a really great syntax highlighting and intellisense setup going.
