That's not even close to a true statement, Australia can trust USA far more than they can trust China. Its not binary.

> In the next major version, they turned the warning into an error. Pretty understandable way to improve the language I would say.

Breaking changes (at runtime no less) are the worst way to improve any language. They should have created a new count method if they wanted to change behavior in a breaking way. Forcing millions of developers to comb through their code just because some designer doesn't like the way someone else does something is just narcissistic.

p.s. Semver isn't worth the shit paper its printed on, it can't even version itself and all it does is give shit developers shit excuses to impose their own naval gazing induced shitstorms on other developers.

Why do they need to remove the whole episodes though? Can't they just put a voice over through that part of the show?

"beep.. beep.. Spotify has had to interrupt this podcast as the next few moments contain words and ideas we deem to impure for our listeners to hear.. beep beep.." and that's why you shouldn't do DMT after eating a burrito.
