I've only worked in a place like that twice. Once (a large company), I didn't last long. In the other (a growing company), the blame-shifting and credit-stealing politics and the people who brought them in didn't last long.

In that situation, it's really a lose-lose for the developer. If they go over their manager's head, they've just made a very unfortunate enemy. And as the manager has more rapport and access to the executive, it's likely going to wind up fruitless as the manager finagles doubt into your evidence (by leaning on that existing relationship and handwaving misunderstandings and referencing non-existent verbal conversations into the points of contention that you raised).

And if they don't go over the manager's head, they now have an internal reputation for incompetence that'll negatively impact the rest of their time at that employer. So they're screwed either way.

At that point it's better to just leave rather than make waves. If you make waves they can come back to drown you later on during your career or job search. If you leave with little ado it stays more compartmentalized to that toxic environment.
If you want to avoid doing a bunch of research on your own I've put together an up to date self paced video course at https://diveintodocker.com/.

It covers everything from "What is Docker?" to learning how to apply it to your own projects. There's a tiny bit of theory, followed by lots of guided labs and examples.

In case you're curious, I've been using Docker in development and production since 2014 and am also a Docker Captain (TL;DR is Docker reached out to me to join their team as a trusted content provider).
I expect every page to have a memory limit similar to the jvm, after which trying to push to the array would result in Error("out of memory")

Perhaps a dialog asking if we want to let the page use more, like the long running script dialog in most browsers.

The sandbox is suppose to protect us from malicious pranks, like browsers these days protect us from an endless loop of alert boxes by asking us if we want to see more, and endless loops in general with the long running terminate dialog.

In terms of density, yeah, I think they are comparable. At least, as much as any other place in the US is comparable to NYC. Somerville's astounding density is one of my favorite facts, since it seems so neighborhood-y to walk through. Somerville is the most dense area in the US outside of the metropolitan areas of NYC, LA, and Miami. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_b...

The GP's point was that we should look at extremes between super dense cities and super sparse cities, and Somerville fits nicely there.
I'm not entirely convinced that it is due to malice. Keep in mind that the Department of Water and Sanitation has been declared bankrupt, so I think it's mostly incompetence.

I would love to see Philly land it but let's be honest: They are going to put it in a better run city with less inherent corruption.
Odd word choice on the part of the BBC. The police aren't 'U.S.' police: they're Iowa police.
Vocabulary is a strong signal of social status (higher education is strongly correlated to wealth or social rank). So care needs to be taken to avoid signalling you are "better than them" to others that rank you as an equal.

Do you get accused of being condescending?

Maybe find someone smart with good social skills whom you respect, and have them watch your interaction with others, and then have them give you honest feedback?
Yess. There is more than one language you have to learn as a smart kid. One is for smart adults, other is for average or worse adults (I'm sad that OP immediate family was part of that group) yet another is for other kids. Same as second one plus ton of swearwords.
First of all, the projects often do not look bad, and if you fill them with more or less decent public are nice buildings. Now, speaking of "better quality of life" -- no they do not. I lived in condos in NYC (brooklyn), and they all universally were bad - built in 1920s, made literally from paper, stinky, could hear my neighbors, required constant maintenance, had no public areas to speak of. Soviet condo buildings may be dull on outside, but they require almost zero maintenance. My building is built in 1965 and it is still like new - no mold, no stink, no cracks. American plywood condos do not last even 25 years without starting looking rundown. Besides, I have nice playground nearby, beautiful greenery, a small park across the street.
It's not really a ban, although it does price out some from the market. Practically anyone who has a steady job could still afford a car (edit: even a new one I mean), although many choose not to, because it's not worth it for them.

Those who buy cars essentially buy cheaper cars for the same prices compared to the neighbouring countries with similar income levels.

Yes, I wouldn't one a tax policy like that, either. Where I live, we still have a car excise tax, although somewhat more reasonable, and I oppose to that too: taxing safety features for instance makes people buy less safe cars on average. In any case, road users pay their fair share in fuel taxes (which are high practically everywhere in Europe), not to mention the recurring car owner's tax. (Some car-opposing people from the U.S. tend not to understand how much taxes car owners pay in Europe, but it really covers all the externalities of providing service for cars, and then some; it's a cash cow for the tax man. Of course, you need to collect taxes somewhere...)
What the site promises looks INSANELY COOL but the app doesn't seem to work actually. Errors behind every corner, 100% CPU load all the time and the tutorial won't finish loading.

I'd rather say if you want that, visit new (post car-fetish era) developments in central and western Europe, like in many German towns. Essentially any German town I've been to is better than most of the Eastern Europe I know.
While Eastern block estates were built mostly without cars in mind, they were also rushed, low quality buildings, without enough retail or comunal spaces, built in space won by razing old buildings or whole neighborhoods, without regard for the history. Especially in the 70's and later the quality of planning and execution went rapidly downhill, leading to problematic estates like Jizni Mesto or Petrzalka.
You are right about the 2015 publication. I believe ORNL waited until it had results from a user (Fermilab) to release the information.

No it's not balanced, that was my whole point. Yes there will be an increase in tax base, but it won't cover the increase in expenses. If it does then it implies that the current businesses are overtaxed.

Having lunch at work is not at all unusual in China, though usually at a lower budget.

> a submarine article artfully placed...

I dunno man, I haven't been to Shenzhen, but the last time I was in Shanghai was mid-2017. I felt like Silicon Valley was some remote backwater. It's not just about shining new buildings. The Shanghai subways are new and shiny, has advanced adtech, and most importantly, does not smell at all like pee (Bart riders know what I'm talking about), and it runs every 2-3 minutes. It takes 3-ish hours to go from Beijing to Shanghai by high speed rail, which is also shiny, new, and has a really nice business class. Anything you need with 2-hour shipping, not 2-day shipping. Not just the limited selection Amazon deigns to put on Prime Now (which typically does not include hardware components).

When I work on an Arduino hobby project, and I suddenly need a component my local Fry's doesn't have, I don't have to wait 2 weeks for shipping. In China, I'd be able to walk to the market and get it the same day.

Look, I still choose to live in Silicon Valley, but admittedly, in Shanghai, there were zero people pooping in the streets, and during the entire time I was there, I was ranted at or yelled at by a complete stranger exactly zero times. And number of times I have been followed by a creepy stranger in Shanghai who might do me harm: zero.
This is a very big reason. Sweden and Germany have auto industry with very strong (politically) unions, ensuring that laws and taxes are beneficial to national industry. Norway and Denmark are very similar to Sweden in many ways, but only Sweden has auto industry and Norway/Denmark have much higher car prices.
Couldn't you just collateralize with blockchain tokens themselves? Why do you need on-chain "unique collectible digital assets that retain value"?
To play devil's advocate, I have a lot of your current problems and live in NYC in a pretty dense area.

Back when I lived in a far more suburban city I was able to play golf with friends, go hiking, and take road trips to see places and people. Restaurants were much more affordable and I rarely needed a reservation, stores weren't completely swarmed with people during the times I could visit them (which makes buying everything online easier). Everyone had a washer and dryer. People invited friends over for BBQs in their backyards. On weekends it was actually faster to go places than on weekdays, so I could visit people who lived in faraway parts of town and it was no big deal (in NYC I barely get to see my friends in Queens, it takes forever to get there). After dealing with so many people and broken down subways a lot of days I'm just tired and want to go home, so I end up just being home a lot.

Now, there are a lot of reasons I like living in NYC and choose to do so, but there are serious trade offs to living in a very dense environment and there are some awesome things about living in a low density environment.
As much it is not about hating politics but hating mischievous backstabbers. Getting along with people does not mean licking their behind. People who instead of spending most time licking someones bottom instead of doing actuall work are problem. Also they spend their time thinking how to throw someone under the bus instead of adding value.

So beeing savvy/expedient is not a problem.

That's assuming pricing scales linearly.

More likely, it takes a flat-ish $x to maintain the infrastructure, and the reduced usage means they can't reach that minimum $x threshold.
It’s a bit dated, but read “JavaScript, The Good Parts”. Also, check out the Ramda.js library, which brings quite a few good functional programming (FP) techniques to JS.

Function scope is good.

Closures are good.

Higher order functions are good.

Partial function application is good :-)

Warning: if you get too used to FP style programming in JS, Java will feel quite painful afterward.
A side note in the article is the collapse of electric vehicle sales in Norway.

'...the current administration had decided to phase out tax breaks on electric cars, citing budget constraints and the desire to level the playing field. That decision was delayed in June amid a dramatic drop in sales of Electrically Chargeable Vehicles (ECVs)'.

ECV sales have relied very heavily on subsidy in most of the western world, it will be interesting to see demand when competing on a level playing field with ICE vehicles
I suffered frequently from terrible migraine until a chiropracter worked my spine. After that it was gone, except for one time months later. That was in my teenage years following a growth spurt and neuroactive narcotics abuse. The closest I got to feeling like that again was from too little sleep and work out, coupled with too much coffee and cigarettes. I'm still luzzled how likely blocked arteries figure into this. Still I get a numb hand from time to time.

Well, there's "small towns" and there's "large cities" and there's "suburbs". All three are different and within each there's significant variation.

A small town or "streetcar suburb" in Jane Jacobs parlance functions very much like a city microcosm in terms of walkability, amenities and vibe. Most modern American suburbs are entirely different than small towns.

> Companies don't have constitutional rights nor obligations. If wrong, please correct me on this.

You’re wrong. Most Constitutional rights are granted to all persons, and corporations are legal persons (and were well before the Constitution), and, furthermore, are generally vehicles for action by natural persons such that depriving them of rights is seen to effectively curtail the rights of natural persons; for both reasons, corporations are generally held to have Constitutional rights.
In a region with multiple malls within a 30-minute drive, the strong will survive (longer, at least) but the weak are dying. The most upscale in a region is probably doing fine.

>> I'm not speaking for the majority of trans women. I'm speaking of them.

Again anecdotally.

>> I mean that the traits I list describe a majority of trans women, in my experience and in my opinion.

Well, here is where the wheels fall off. Prescribing negative male traits to the majority of trans women is beyond the pale. I disagree and find the connotation offensive and transphobic.

>> While there is still need for gendered spaces? We belong in our own spaces.

Again, I disagree, for reasons:
1. Size: The trans population is small, like very small compared to almost all other groups. It would be a greater burden on society to request that all spaces now accommodate unique and private spaces for trans folk, and extrapolated, a different space for flavor of trans.
2. Exclusion and Identity Erasure: Many trans folk (myself included) identify with one of the two binary genders. It is an affront and an erasure of our identities to segregate us from general society. I for one am not looking to wear my trans scarlet letter with pride, thanks.

Now, that is not to say that trans folk should not have access to our own support networks and industry groups. But to claim that we should stay out of the majority groups because we have a different past is offensive, as is the connotation that trans women make cis women uncomfortable. As a passing trans woman, I have been asked to leave trans groups because my "privilege" makes others uncomfortable. In this case, where do I belong? Should I make new industry groups for passing trans women with mixed Irish/German/Greek heritage that enjoy swing dancing and traditional music? Should cis women segregate by ethnicity or by tomboy-ness?

Intersectionality does not imply segregation. Trans women are women, full stop, and should have access to the same groups as cis women.
I have looking deeply into lending smart contract protocols - dharma, ethlend, salt, paypie, etc. My biggest complaint is all of them are so-called 'blockchain' products but not only can they be done better without blockchain, but that despite their product being all about decentralization, none of these projects are decentralised!
There are no auto makers in denmark, so likely not much of a lobby (this is Northern Europe, so “lobby” is more likely to mean unions of the manufacturers than lobbyists paid by multinational corporations).

Bear in mind, that drivers pay much, much more tax for their fuel in Denmark, too, compared to the U.S. Fuel taxes are a major part of many European countries tax income.
Kids have excellent bullshit detectors, because a.) they haven't been socialized to keep their mouth shut when they see bullshit and b.) they don't have incentives to keep their mouth shut when they see bullshit. (cf. Emperor's New Clothes)

Very true. This happened to me. However, what you don't get enough of in our culture, is that the new "truth" the kids take as a substitute is often another come-on which is crafted to appeal to a younger generation or an updated culture.

You can see analogues for this in 19th century culture, but with the added benefit of hindsight. Various utopian and romantic movements from the 1800's and even in the early 20th century are these saccharine substitutes for truth. However, if you look at them closely and take them apart, you will find that they are based on some sort of conceit or assumption which falls apart under closer examination, or with the benefit of over a century of human and scientific progress. Marxism is a key example. Karl Marx's problem with the "accidental" is the unwarranted and demonstrably false assumption that emergent processes can't usefully regulate complex systems. Of course, Marx didn't have the benefit of a couple of centuries of continued development in biology and the benefit of computer science and game theory. Rousseau's "noble savage" is another such honeypot fiction that the 21st century Left is still plagued by in transmogrified form.

"Yes, you're absolutely right, and unfortunately humanity is filled with idiots."

Do you really think you can do a better job? Marxist intellectuals who became revolutionaries thought much the same. Their record in the 20th century speaks for itself.
What's opaque about "write everything down, including your assumptions and what you are going to try before you try it, write it out in full, and don't worry too much about it being in a neat structure because it's more of a scratch-pad"?

His main point is that we focus too much on the software tools, and not enough on how we think about the software we are modifying.

I can say from experience that writing things out on paper without looking at the code works, and more people should do it. Like he states in the slide-deck: it lets you off-load mental burdens, and avoid the problem of forgetting the details of a complex problem in the process of being unravelled. It lets you get back into the work weeks or months later.

Writing messy pseudo-blog-posts in github issues and very long code comments is how I kept my sanity on a project where I was the sole programmer for two years.

This is your prerogative; but understand that very many people do not think like you.
No, the post you responded to says that density without strict oversight leads to all the bad things you were talking about. I cannot think of a counterexample.

Density with strict oversight seems like it could lead to a flourishing society, which is what has happened in those other examples.

It's very easy to have density with strict oversight lead to bad results, but some form of strict oversight seems like a prerequisite to prosperous density. Anything else it seems like you're reading what you want to read out of the statement.
