Google has not been scanning gmail mails for ad targeting since 2017. I think after 9 years we can finally let that one go.

Ad display I'll still grant you of course.


I don't think we can let that one go so easily, since they might not be scanning for ad targeting (pinky promise?) - but they most certainly will slurp everything up for their AI stuff: https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/products/gmail/gm...


I highly doubt that you can prove correctness with types alone.

How would you verify the correctness of this function with types alone:

Integer add(Integer a, Integer b) { return a + b; }

How would types verify for me that the result is correct and not a+b+1?

Formal proofs work for this but to make them work you need more than just types.


The return type of your function is too broad: It should be the "type of integers which can be proven to be the sum of a and b".

That sounds like a joke but it's what going overboard with dependently typed programming languages is like.
