Is there a way to apply without going through the angel.co website?

You obviously have reasons to be angry, but vitriolic comments don't produce constructive discourse.

I can see why you might think that, being built into the language, using 'with' in Python in a broken way would be easier to spot. However, having used both languages extensively, …

Disinterested means impartial, you are uninterested.

Also in the medium term, artificially increasing the price of fuel incentivizes research and development of alternatives.

If you don't mind me asking, why do you want to do this?

I think a better way to handle this would be to use subresource integrity [1]. Then, if the browser's cached version matches the hash, it can be sure that it doesn't need to do any…
