We should all try to be more like Jeanne Calment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeanne_Calment

She was well educated in France with a liberal arts degree, married well and never had to work, went mountaineering with her husband on holidays, hosted German soliders during the second world war but didn't mind it very much, spent her mornings in prayer, had an elaborate skincare routine, smoked, drank, ate lots of chocolate and rode her bicycle every day right up until the end at age 122.

Basically, fuck working.
One other thing the code reviewee needs to do is develop a thick skin. Reviewers never be assholes, because it's unproductive and makes your coworkers not want to work with you.

But reviewees should also learn how to take criticism well, and develop the thick skin to shrug off when the reviewer actually is being an asshole. You can't go through life never expecting to encounter an asshole or someone who likes to bully people. Better to know how to shrug off shitty behavior rather than become obsessed with how your feelings were hurt.
The thing is that a lot of suburban areas are much younger than high-density areas. So they have borrowed for capital projects such as infrastructure and new buildings. They aren't paying the true costs of maintaining those things yet.

Cities on the other hand have to pay for the upkeep on their existing infrastructure, as well as replacing that infrastructure.

Replacing infrastructure is much more expensive than building it out in the first place. A lot of suburbs will fail when it comes time to replace their infrastructure. It just hasn't happened yet because in the United States you can keep building out forever. Furthermore people move away from areas burdened by the costs of replacing infrastructure.

The entire rust belt is being brutalized by the fact that formerly suburban areas have collapsed. The urban areas were already brutalized in the 50s, 60s and 70s by white flight.
My personal guess is that the Pale Moon/Basilisk team has no clue how to use other compilers.

I mean, what for another reason... logical... reason would be around for staying with an ancient version?

And that is rather sad that they are seemingly unable to broaden their knowledge.

If you maintain a browser project you should have at least a more broad know-how or you should have someone on board who provides you with that if you on your own are missing that.

I value more choice in the browser market away from the Chrome or Chrome clones or almost Chrome clones - but at the same time i think also that the Pale Moon team is way too arrogant and sharp tongued against Mozilla and others seen from their own lack of abilities to find a work-around or being able to get a more complex job done.

>> On every metric you care to measure, the developing world has been catching up to the west. Global inequality is decreasing, not increasing.[2]

My other reply to your comment is, regretably, extremely long but I wanted to repeat this point:

Global income inequality is still very high and will stay very high for a long time

Even under a very optimistic scenario it will take several
decades for the poor to reach the income level of the global
top 10%.

2% is roughly the growth rate that the richest countries of
today experienced over the last decades (see here). We have
seen that poorer countries can achieve faster growth, but we
have not seen growth rates of more than 6% over a time frame
as long as necessary to reach the level of the global 10% in
such a short time. If the past is a good guide for the future,
the world will very likely be highly unequal for a long time.

This is from the source you quoted yourself:

https://ourworldindata.org/global-economic-inequality#global...

In short: the developing world is nowhere near "catching up" to the West.

I do not propose to eliminate critical thought, I propose to eliminate the needles diversion of baseless claim and baseless counterclaim. Exactly such that critical thought is freed up to think about other problems!

We like to proud ourselves on having a system where everyone is innocent until proven guilty, but in practice innocent people are regularly convicted and guilty people regularly declared not guilty. There exists no correct a priori stance of being harsher or less harsh on false positives vs false negatives. The only way to eliminate both is relevance: gather more faithfull evidence. I believe decentralized mass surveillance to be the way out.

By removing the need to criticize questions of fact in the domain of meat space human interactions, we free up attention and critical thought to consult our feelings (ethics) about proposals and governance of our society!

I consider this the opposite of opppresion.

From some information in the article, it seems possible to me that the mass sacrifice might have been a cruel pacification technique by the conquering Inca? It says the Chimu empire fell around 1475 to the Inca. The rope and textiles were radiocarbon dated to 1400 to 1450 AD.

AIUI: the argument is that high density has less per capita costs. Tax rate should basically be a function of costs and citizen income. You can have lower per capita costs and need a higher tax rate if your revenue is not high enough relative to costs.

But — if you converted the wealth located in the suburbs, into high density, costs would go down, the revenue base is the same, so taxes could fall.

To me the argument seems backwards, people live where they want, they incur certain relative higher or lower costs due to it, but so what. The amount of money we are talking about here is relatively benign, if you were upfront with people about the choices being made with tax revenue, you could easily finance (with people’s own existing tax revenue) their own decisions on where to live. Where’s the fire.
I think that's a perfect example of what the article is about. Instead of "why didn't you do X here?" You can say "I would prefer X here, because I value Y" and then add your reasoning.

It's a more complete statement and it avoids an extra back and forth for someone to say "What do you mean?", which is usually the response to "Why didn't you X?"

And it still accomplishes the same goal of opening a conversation, while better making clear you are seeking understanding.

It's also more useful to people who might refer back to the PR later, which happens surprisingly often in my experience. I try to treat PRs a little bit like historical documentation.

GitHub feels so much like some social network site. It has too many distraction factors for any thinking person, that's why I hate it. Bitbucket is a real thing. Go get it, stop being a GitHub hipster today!
Tax rates are generally a reflection of current priorities and not long term obligations.

Cities tend to build and replace infrastructure bit by bit; when first built out, they built infrastructure piecemeal, and as they upgrade to cope with higher populations they also do it piece by piece. So they have to replace things often, but usually only small amounts of infrastructure. To reflect this, tax rates stay at a slightly higher rate.

Suburbs, on the other hand, generally explosively grow in spurts, and put in all the infrastructure in spurts. So for 30 years they don't have to worry about replacing things and have low tax rates, but when you start getting to EOL people start getting higher and higher assessments to pay to replace all this high-quality infrastructure at the same time. This causes people to leave for that newer suburb that hasn't reached that point, which shrinks the tax base of the older suburb, which then has to raise assessments higher, which starts off a deadly tax spiral. On top of that they are often raising taxes to replace infrastructure on a much smaller tax base to begin with since their density is so low.

As a case in point, Nassau County in Long Island had the original suburbs, but now the taxes are so expensive because of all this infrastructure replacement that everybody is leaving. You are starting to see this in a lot of the first-generation suburbs; not only in Long Island, but also in New Jersey, and other infamous examples include places like Ferguson, MO.

> [...] what makes you implicitly know how the 'IN' behaves in python, and that it won't convert to the keys() method of the dict to get a list with the same behaviour as in a list?

Because it would be the dumb way to do it. You have a lookup procedure to
extract a value from a hash. A procedure to check if the key is present in the
hash will look exactly the same, barring the value being returned.

Libraries usually work the same way as you would write yourself if you were
trained in the task, so it's easy to guess.
When I was onboarding with a remote company, we had an open hangouts video call and I was able ask the other guy questions whenever I needed. It was like being the same room together and it was pretty amazing.

It's not something I see done that often, but if your 'remote in similar timezones' it does remove a friction point. We only did it for a day or two as part of getting set up with the new codebase, but I found it fairly effective.

That’s nice in principle. In practice, the reason we have the system we have is that it delivers goods to customers much more efficiently than ever. Back when every small town had its own clothing store, customers were paying enough for the clothes that the shopkeeper and his/her staff could lead middle-class lives off of their profits, not to mention all of the people in the nearby factories who made them. We can go back to those times, but consumers will have to decide that they are happy having fewer clothing items, keeping them for much longer, dressing their children in hand-me-downs, and probably still spending a larger portion of their income on clothing than they do now.

Actually, that is incorrect. Arrays are different in JavaScript. I don't have time to look up the exact reference, but to get an idea: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe...

> Arrays cannot use strings as element indexes (as in an associative array) but must use integers. Setting or accessing via non-integers using bracket notation (or dot notation) will not set or retrieve an element from the array list itself, but will set or access a variable associated with that array's object property collection. The array's object properties and list of array elements are separate, and the array's traversal and mutation operations cannot be applied to these named properties.

The section in the preface that GLS' note refers to reads:

"X3J13 expressed interest in the other two approaches (series and generators), but the consensus as of January 1989 was that these other approaches were not yet sufficiently mature or in sufficiently widespread use to warrant inclusion in the draft Common Lisp standard at that time. However, the subcommittee was directed to continue work on these approaches and X3J13 is open to the possibility of standardizing them at a later date. Please note that I do not wish the prejudge the question of whether X3J13 will ever choose to make the other two proposals the subject of standardization. Nevertheless, I have chosen to include them in the second edition, in cooperation with Dr. Richard C. Waters, as appendices A and B, in order to make these ideas available to the Lisp community. In my judgement these proposals address an area of language design not otherwise covered by Common Lisp and are likely to have practical value even if they are never adopted as part of a formal standard."

They didn't end up making it into the Common Lisp standard, but they're on Quicklisp, so getting (both of) them is as simple as (ql:quickload :series), and then you can load them with (series::install).

Good question. I actually didn't test that at all. I mostly added that as I saw a few mostly empty blocks written and compression lowered the total space usage a bit.
I've found it helpful to lead with my explicitly labeled expectation I had that the code doesn't express and the reasoning I had for the expectation followed by a request for context. Sometimes better factoring wasn't top priority in the set of many concerns being solved for and sometimes a technique was not known. Oftentimes my expectation wasn't talking interactions in the code into account and the education I receive helps me better review the code or better understand the codebase. I mean, we could deal with the noise of conflict or we can more efficient solve the problem that motivates our effort in the first place.
I think the suggestions in the article are the victim of a lack of context, in a certain way.

Suppose the code was "list.extend([1])" (Python). And the comment was "why didn't you just list.append(1)"? That would be a completely reasonable thing to say.

I think what I want to caution is that there is a middle ground that this article is ignoring. Yes, sometimes it is uncouth to just say "why didn't you just _". But it can also be important to have a little bit thicker skin, as sometimes you will get a comment that looks just like that, and there will be a good reason.
Sure, but you can do the same thing with an arcade or coin operated car wash by just converting your dirty money to quarters too.

"Grow a thicker skin" is, usually, identical to "let's just let people be assholes to you and say it's your fault if you complain about it".

So here's a thought: if you see someone being an asshole, and you're thinking about blaming anyone other than the asshole, don't. Instead, work on making it untenable to be an asshole.
Taxes don't pay the same thing in dense cities as in the suburbs. Public transport for example: in a dense city taxes pay for bus, subways, tramways, bike lanes, sometimes subsidized bike sharing. In a lot of suburbs none of this make sense because everyone has to have a car anyway, so people only pay for roads. In the end, what you pay for your car could very well be higher than the differential in taxes. That's how the dense city is more "efficient".

More over, people living in a suburb only pay for a part of the roads they use in their daily commute. My (dense) borough actually did a study that showed 80% of the traffic going through our streets were people who would not stop there, for example because they are commuting between a suburb and the city center nearby. So city dwellers pay for roads that are mostly used by other people. And since the traffic we get this way is quite intense, there's a good amount of road repair each year.
