Where would I report a product (in the EU, as a private person) with an inherent design issue that is life-threatening? It's in the same vein as a car with a gas pedal that can get stuck by design, so it likely would need a mass recall/fix. It doesn't make sense to report it to the producing company because this company is known to having denied similar issues.

After wearing my cargo pants yesterday and being spoiled by decent sized pockets (I could fit my phone in the front pocket, keys, and lipstick without it falling out when I sit) I’m pissed again about the pockets in my current pants, back pocket I can only put my hand up to my second knuckle in the back (might fit a lipstick but it would fall out) and the front ones, stuff keeps falling out when I sit. I’m going to lengthen the pockets based on the cargo pants pockets, I don’t care if it ‘ruins the line of the pants, and adds bulkiness’ because as I always say, women’s pockets, when pants have them, are bullshit. And I don’t care if they make me look fat because I value function and comfort more. My son can fit a whole keyboard in his. I’ve been gradually lengthening my pockets as I get to them, or wearing a Fanny pack, but had to go to a funeral Sunday and got pissed again about my pockets. I want to empower other women with decent pockets, so we can take over. That poem about seditious pockets comes to mind. Or at least carry phones and keys. Will post photos. #sewing #pockets #womenspants

@… Aha, I get you now! This is the best thing about proofs (I feel the same way about dependently-typed programming). The more information you can convey in a signature or type, the less you need to look inside.
I'm surprised you say that Go is close to it, though; is this because of culture? I'm sure that Rob Pike shouting “don't do anything cle…

Yes, I admit, I have to seriously go through this because I still find learning Rust difficult.

I wish I could remember one of the terms for a white guy they hire in Asia (it actually happens enough to merit a term) to pretend to be the boss just because he looks the part.
I'm going to have to look one up so I can throw it out there every time someone uses the term "diversity hire".
