>You accept the trade offs of living in a dense city, but not everyone should be expected to feel the same way about the crime rates, poor schools, traffic, noise pollution, or SF style feces/needle filled streets.

City centers shouldn't be expected to subsidize other people's ideal life styles. Crime rates and poor schools wouldn't be a problem if we took a fraction of the money we spend on infrastructure of suburbs and pointed it towards maintaining and improving city centers.

>or SF style feces/needle filled streets.

I'm sorry, what was that about patronizing? None of the characteristics you mentioned are inherit or even a common quality of city centers.
> Or one of a thousand other compex set of interactions.

That's a very handwavey response to a serious question.

If it's true that dense cities are more efficient then it follows that dense cities should be cheaper, when all evidence points to the opposite effect. By the original reasoning Boise and Boulder should have very expensive tax burdens and New York should be nearly free.

My old employer, a phone retailer, would check how long the user had been browsing the site and what they looked at.

We noticed that legit customers tended to take their time on our site. They would look at several pages and not immediately add something to the basket and checkout.

Of course, some legit customers would demonstrate the same pattern particularly when a new phone was launched - but that wasn't too common.

So if the user spent less than five mins on the site before checking out, or if they only looked at one product page then that order would automatically be flagged for manual review. 60% percent of those orders were rejected.
Will do but I was asking for suggestions, not permission.
How do you draw the conclusion that the author is saying "don't use numbers because somebody might write crap code" when one of the suggested improvements was "to use a large key space, like the 64 bit integers (or perhaps the subset which can be represented by Javascript, sigh)"

int64 are numbers, so the author cannot be saying "don't use numbers".

Instead, it's specifically numbers generated by something like an auto-incrementing primary key in the database.

We already have a gerontocracy, and Bezos and Zuckerberg already have empires. Blaming a fantasy of immortality for the problems of real-life capitalism or democratic decay makes no sense.

I'm not really an expert at the VLSI level, I'm simply thinking from a PCB-perspective (and I just know that some of the same issues occur in the smaller chip-level design).

From my understanding: yes, the CMOS inverters will certainly use power. But you can minimize the use of them through some passive techniques.

Looking into the issue more, it does seem like a naive implementation of synchronized clocks can become costly. But at the same time, I'm seeing a number of research papers suggesting that people have been applying transmission-line techniques to the clock distribution problem.

I've always assumed that it was something that was commonly done at the chip level, but apparently not. These papers were published ~2010 or so.
There are urban malls that only take up one downtown block and don't have a sea of parking around them, or any site provided parking at all for that matter.

They can be good for those large blocks where the interior of the block is not used efficiently because of the size, since mall shops do not need windows to the outside. Interior urban malls are also great for places where the weather is bad most of the time.

With the urban malls you can still have a strip of shops around them on their outsides.

Brings to mind this from Peter Thiel (exclude the length):

Q. You’ve written that you doubt the efficacy of MBA programs to prepare future business leaders. What would an effective MBA program look like?

A. The question is, what substance of business are you focused on? The conceit of the MBA is that you don’t need to have any substance at all. It’s just this management science, and you can apply that equally well in a software company or an oil drilling company or a fashion company or a rocket company. That’s the bias I’d want us to cut against. So for the degree, people would learn substantive things and then on the side you’d pick up some business skills. But you wouldn’t treat the business degree as the central thing.

I think one challenge a lot of the business schools have is they end up attracting students who are very extroverted and have very low conviction, and they put them in this hot house environment for a few years — at the end of which, a large number of people go into whatever was the last trendy thing to do. They’ve done studies at Harvard Business School where they’ve found that the largest cohort always went into the wrong field. So in 1989, they all went to work for Michael Milken, a year or two before he went to jail. They were never interested in Silicon Valley except for 1999, 2000. The last decade their interest was housing and private equity.

So there is something about the way in which business school is decoupled from anything really substantive that I’d want to rethink.

disagree with unhelpful #1. it is understood that “facts” are opinions. the reviewer doesn’t need to write an essay unless he gets pushback from the author. the author needs to understand that the presentation style is just a shorthand.

agree with #2 in theory but in practice some authors are crazy sloppy. i usu. write “here and elsewhere” the first 2 times for a given author and after that i break out the copy paste bazooka.

his example for #2 is also terrible. “trailing whitespace” is perfectly sufficient review comment. you don’t need to write a novel and both parties have to understand it isn’t rude, it’s shorthand because life doesn’t need to be spent in code review.

likewise, disagree with unhelpful #7. as reviewer, if a comment wasn’t replied i get it. fine. move on. I’ll track authors and learn which ones ignore because there’s no value in arguing, or those that ignore because of not getting it in general or not getting that a specific comment was incorrectly thought trivial (and ou also have to consider if you played a part). jesus, you can’t take it personally if your comments are ignored. it’s shorthand. i don’t want to go through and read tons of “yes ok” it’s a waste of both parties’ time.

i agree with all the rest!!

although, some of the behaviors he talks about are indicative of toxic culture and it’s just expressed in code review. more important to fix that (or leave) if that’s the case.
Yep, exactly. The current paper presents the contextual model and how to interact with it, and then shows that even simple models (such as the weighted bag of words in the first parent comment) based on it do quite well. I really appreciate the interest and please let me know if you have any questions! :)
Yeah, stuff was never scarce. I don't know where on earth you got that idea. After World War 2 the US stumbled upon the greatest wealth creation machine the planet has ever known, a consumer-driven economy that literally printed trillions of dollars for decades and is still mostly going. Americans have never wanted for stuff for the last 70 years. (There was hiccup with the oil situation there for a bit but that was cleared up.)

The issue is that some of the "stuff" Americans wanted was cars and big houses. The country bet big (again to the tune of trillions) buying a crap ton of cars, building endless roads, and building big houses out in the middle of nowhere. It's this model that drove the creation of the uniquely suburban mall. And this was a deliberate choice driven by the government at every level. The history of post-war America is the history of government-subsidized urban sprawl.

It was a big mistake and one that the country will be paying for, for the next century. It's simply not sustainable. The economic forces at work here are a consequence of the laws of physics. Big houses and big cars far from the "noisy, dirty" city are expensive. Everything gets cheaper as density goes up. At some point some critical services become practically free due to market volume and competition. (In highly dense Asian cities it's possible to eat decently for $5/day. That's breakfast, lunch and dinner.)

The other side of this equation is that American wages have collapsed. Forget growth, forget stagnation, wages are going down and the coming generations will be poorer than their forbearers. So while it was possible for the average Joe in 1965 to afford a big car and a big house far outside the city, 2020 Joe will not be able to do that and eat and have health insurance. And this is where physics kicks in: Americans can no longer afford the entire "exurb lifestyle" that they love so much. Economic success now lies in the city.

The lessons to be learned here are not new. They are as old as human civilization. Prosperous empires over-expand and over-build and eventually collapse due to endless war, internal conflicts and better competition. Density wins because it is much, much more efficient (especially in a highly competitive and dynamic globalized economy). And, most importantly, sustainability matters. A lot. Sustainability may be all that matters. Human laws aren't laws at all -- the right lawyer, the right judge, the right bribes can turn most laws into minor obstacles. Every (human) thing can be negotiated. The only laws that can't be broken or subverted, that can't be negotiated or changed, are indeed the laws of physics and biology.

Do I get this right that jQuery, for developer convenience, content-sniffs the value of "data-" attributes?

I.e., if the value looks like JSON, it will parse it and return the object tree, otherwise it will return the original value as a string?

This sounds like a horrible idea in general - I'd say the authors of this forgetting that certain english words by themselves are valid JSON is a nice cherry on top but hardly the worst problem caused by this.

Come on, even Herb Sutter thinks that the way people contort the template metaprogramming system leaves something to be desired, hence the constexpr blocks and metaclasses proposals coming down the pipeline.
They would, but the point is that in the existing system the patient will never see the savings. An aspirin tablet is under a dollar at the drug store and $100 in the hospital right now, what makes you think it would change if it got cheaper by a factor of ten?
That may be true for some UNIXes, but not for all UNIXes. For example on FreeBSD, create a process that will stick around for a bit:

# cat >sleepy.c
#include <unistd.h>
int main(void) {
sleep(999);
return 0;
}
# cc -o sleepy sleepy.c
# ./sleepy &

Now try to overwrite it:

# cp /bin/date sleepy
cp: sleepy: Text file busy

Now try with install:

# install /bin/date sleepy
# ./sleepy

Install was able to get around the "Text file busy" error. Why?

# touch a
# stat -f %i a
686974
# cp /etc/motd a
# stat -f %i a
686974

cp here has preserved the inode, it replaced the contents without deleting and recreating the file. Now lets try install:

# stat -f %i a
686974
# install /etc/motd a
# stat -f %i a
687076

The inode changed. Why?

46785 install CALL unlink(0x7fffffffed52)
46785 install NAMI "a"
46785 install RET unlink 0

install unlinks the file first before copying the data over. Then it creates a new file/inode (F_CREAT):

46785 install CALL openat(AT_FDCWD,0x7fffffffed52,0x602<O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC>,0600<S_IRUSR|S_IWUSR>)
46785 install NAMI "a"
46785 install RET openat 4

hihi, funny that you would mention that you're afraid of the emacs-like shortcuts, because I gave this week a talk called "Play Emacs like an instrument"[1].

Honestly, under Linux, I'm using i3wm[2] as a Window Manager and Emacs (with evil-mode) for mostly everything else. Everything is accessible with shortcuts. I don't miss macOS for those and not for a whole lot of other things. The only thing I haven't found a better (that's subjective, of course) alternative, yet, is HDR photography editing.

He is absolutely advocating that we do exactly that. He believes that halting ageing will cure every other disease and make people live longer, healthier lives. Therefore he's arguing that we should spend the majority of resources spend on health to combat ageing.

Do companies usually have guidelines and maybe even training on how to do peer/code review? With some emphasis on the empathy and the way you communicate your thoughts? I've noticed a broad range of peer/code review in my little career and in hindsight it was probably due to the fact that no one really knew how to give a peer/code review.
> Why "sacrifice" and not murder?

The two terms aren't mutually exclusive (though the latter refers to unlawful intentional killing, and that probably doesn't apply here accept by importing foreign moral codes as law.)

And, in any case, “sacrifice” is used for things destroyed as offerings to supernatural entities irrespective of their value outside of that purpose for the people destroying them.
I remember biking around town when I was 8. My son is 6, I find it hard to imagine that in two years I (and others) would let him bike around freely.

I wonder why this changed. Is it that people have become more aware of dangers? Or perhaps parents are having fewer children and being more protective?

> I would normally be required to go outdoors to connect with them without a cell phone.

Forgive me for being a pedant and a devil's advocate, but would you _really_ otherwise be going outside to spend time with people, and in such a capacity that cell phone use could replace it?

When I think of "spending time outside with people," I think, "afternoon in the park" or "at a restaurant or cafe on a patio" or "hiking." I can't think of any outdoor activities with other people that would otherwise could be supplanted by cell phone use. Playing the Facebook messenger basketball isn't going to replace a walk with a friend.
Agree with all of this except 4. "asking judgmental questions".

While it's true that not all opinion is fact (uh oh -- 5. sarcasm) there is nothing out of line in asking "Why didn’t you just do ___ here?" How you approach this question has a lot to do with your own perspective. If you are feeling defensive, it can seem like the code reviewer is calling you out. But if you have experienced people reviewing your code, this is a question that you will get a lot.

"Why didn’t you just do ___ here?" often simply means "I don't see why you couldn't have done it this simpler way, can you explain"? It's often for everyone's benefit that things are done in the simplest, most obvious way possible, and it's not productive to take offense at being asked to reconsider how you accomplished something.

It's all about advertising and influence. Having a higher # of followers makes you look more attractive/popular. It's like the "halo effect".

It's common to see fitness coaches and C-List celebrities to have lots of followers but very few likes/comments, which is a common sign of the user buying followers.
One thing that I ask people on my team to do is only have one set of review comments. What I hate is when you address a bunch of code reviews, and then the same reviewer comes and finds more things to change. Then it's a never-ending cycle of fix and change, fix and change, which wastes everyone's time.

Go through your code review thoroughly, and only make one set of comments. Of course, if you happen to find a huge bug then that necessitates more reviews. However, I think that reflects poorly on the reviewer, she should have spent more time reviewer more carefully the first time.
Europe has hundreds of options for small towns that are walkable. For example, the below has a population of 4,000, and it's going to probably have 50 restaurants, 50 stores, a school, church, town square, football stadium, market, cafes, marina, and park all within a 5-10 minute walk.

Property taxes in NYC, for example, are drastically lower than the suburbs, precisely because of the economies provided by density.

Some other forms of tax are much higher in the city, for example income taxes on higher earners, and some corporate taxes in the case of NYC, but there are also an incredible array of services provided.

Your premise that city taxes are "always higher" isn't something you can assert without offering evidence. The reality is that taxes in dense cities are usually different than in less dense areas, and reflect different priorities. Higher or lower depends a lot on who you are and what you're measuring.

I have an undergrad business degree, and a lot of the criticism in the piece is fair. Most of what you learn is common sense. There's a reason there are plenty of people in history that have been able to build multimillion dollar businesses without very little formal schooling, it's simply not as difficult as engineering or chemistry.

I was a marketing major, and really there is no value in the credential past an undegraduate level. The journals that professors publish in have no relevance to people working in the field, and are borderline gibberish. To have a masters or PhD in marketing is entirely useless unless you want to become an academic.

There's also a lot of make work in the business school. I studied political science as my minor and found the papers had a lot less "work" from a volume point of view, but I learnt a lot more and was challenged to think a lot.

I've tried so many things in the past (Microsoft To-Do, Google Tasks, Google Keep, Trello), but nothing seemed to work or was very distracting. And then I tried org-mode, and I swear by it. It's great and flexible. I've used it to plan projects, complete assignments, and schedule appointments. I also set up sync to two cloud providers, allowing me to view my TODOs in a web browser or my phone in an instant. In addition, the clockin feature of org provides me with quantifiable measures of my productivity. And best of all, there's zero vendor lock-in, since all org files are plain text.

Speaking of work, I should probably get off HN now :)
