Doesn't it also have something to do with the fact that the US has so much more land compared to the amount of people who live there (population density) in comparison to Europe? Basically, we don't have a lot of land in Europe. And given ancient rights, not a lot of land was readily available to simply sprawl suburbia onto.

Not that your factors don't matter, but I think there are additional factors for why it never took off in Europe. Lest we forget, Europeans were also very excited about the car in the 1950s/60s/70s. Several bigger cities in Europe tore down central parts to make way for cars. Stockholm comes to mind. Which is a damn shame.
In programming languages slow evolution is a feature, this is particularly true when there is so much existing code out there. Fast iteration is probably good until the 1.0 version, but then you want stability.

Except UI trees are probably the worse place for objects

In PHP for example all query builders are meant to be used as a tree of objects, which means if you want to recursively change the table names used by the query you're out of luck because that state is often private and behaviour not implemented

Or maybe you want to inspect the query as data at runtime or assert against its shape or deeply update or delete or copy or compose parts of it all of those things are difficult

But use a data oriented library and suddenly they're easy transparent and predictable, self plug : https://github.com/slifin/beeline-php

See hiccup for a data oriented UI HTML tree, honeySQL for SQL there's one for css, routing, there's some for all of the state of your app like redux and Integrant

As soon as you have a tree of objects your coworkers won't know how your objects work till you train them and even then it won't be as powerful as your standard library, but your coworkers do know how to manipulate arrays vectors maps sets dictionaries etc self made objects are obtuse in these use cases

I wouldn't say bad decisions so much as different decisions. Given WSL would abstract out file system access anyway, why didn't they just bridge WSL's FS similarly to how they did with WSL2 anyway? Though, I'm not sure there's much advantage left at that point.
Your ideas seem a bit counter-intuitive, so I'll assume they're coming from some literature, and I guess I can't really comment on literature I haven't read.

When the goal is to model something “in real life” OOP tends to map decently well and it’s easy to teach. When you’re trying to make sure your program isn’t going to go off the rails, limits on mutation is one of the first places to look. When your software has 50mm+ valid states, one should hopes they have a large manual QA team. If you have all the possible states held in their own subsystem, you can automate stability much more easily.
Easy to say that when your summer is 2 months long with max temp of 30C something, try a 9 months summer ( most of south america, africa, south east asia and oceania ) with a max of 45C +.

We should turn off winter heating too then as that is probably as bad as Airco

BTW I am from a tropical country and I live in mid-northern Europe now, this argument not really fair, the amount of energy (electricity and gas) used here to keep people alive during winter is 10x larger than in my home country during summer.

I have been a project manager in many organisations and I have on occasion let loose swear words. It has never been a problem. Over the years I have noticed that there are two distinct possibilities:

1. You might be in a company where nobody swears. In that case, it might be the expected norm that you too speak diplomatically and politely.

2. You might have a precious snowflake on your team. These come in two varieties:

(a) persons who simply are simply more sensitive than the majority; and

(b) persons who are under-performing and are using the excuse of "hostile workplace" as a cover-up for their substandard productivity.

Perhaps, you are the first project manager that they have hired and the staff are not accustomed to being expected to deliver on schedule, etc. In a small company, it seems strange to me that you can't have a candid conversation with your manager / boss. Not being given the individual's name for "privacy reasons" seems suspiciously like somebody is playing politics.
I'm planning a desktop upgrade (now sometime later this year), eyeing an r7-3950x or next gen threadripper. I'll probably go Linux as my primary desktop again, and VM for windows and macos as needed. I feel it's there enough at this point. Probably been 5-6 years since I've tried it as my primary OS. Though I did keep my grandmother on Ubuntu for about a decade before she passed (her old game ran under wine, and no worries about windows viruses/scams).

Could you please present a logical argument to back your claim? For example, logically, if someone is in a high density area and can walk to their workplace which is nearby (since it's a high density area), there is less of an infrastructure burden as they do not need to commute each day. That means they won't be contributing to a traffic jam or packed train.

What's the argument for sprawl leading to less infrastructure burden?
OOP is a subset of the broader category of polymorphism, and it premised on a broken analogy, which posits that data and the transformations that can be applied to them are similar to actions upon 'objects', and that specializations of objects are perfect subset of ideal 'class' categories. This analogy is vaguely useful to introducing basic programming to uninitiated, but the analogy is neither true in the real world, nor does it map well to information systems.
After reading the pitfalls and mitigations section, I'm starting to wonder why JWTs/JWEs/etc are even adopted despite these attacks demonstrated by many cryptographers mentioned in this book. Since JWTs allow for a choice of algorithms (algorithm agility) to sign/verify the tokens, it allows room for many developers to shoot themselves in the foot in securing these tokens, hence the multiple vulnerabilities documented in this book.

It's worth looking at better alternatives that are more cryptographically secure and have sane defaults than JWTs these days. I'd rather use either PASETO [0], Branca [1] or Fernet [2] Tokens at this point.

I agree with your thoughts on how everybody neglects the desktop, but an independent evolution of components can also be achieved without OOP. Also OOP doesn't guarantee future compatibility - it can make it easier, if implemented with that intention in mind.

However, it looks like ensuring backward compatibility is an enemy now: users are forced do upgrade, sometimes every day, so obviously in the eyes of those corporations backward compatibility can be completely ignored.
A lot of people have been working for decades and can’t imagine the idea of having to not deal with entire classes of bugs and defects. It causes a lot of strain at some companies I’ve worked at where people who’ve experienced “better” have a very hard time going back. I can’t say I think they’re wrong.

It's fortunate it doesn't apply to software, isn't it? Otherwise the West would be screwed. As it is Google / Apple et al don't make much at all, it's all done in China. But there is literally zero chance of their expertise all toddling off to China. Trump's Huawei ban has a better chance of leading to China developing it's on inhouse software expertise than Apple making stuff there.

This is one of the stupidest things I've read today. A lot of Europeans seem to claim that it never gets hot enough during summer to warrant A/C. Then they turn around and complain about "unusual heat wave" and can't work.

A/C is necessary in most parts of the world. I'm European as well and I can't work past 20C, which is why I have A/C and table fans to keep me cool.

Have you considered the possibility that you fail to have what you perceive to be a usablr discussion on your topics of choice because your personal concerns have no rational basis or support?

I mean, this newspiece covers a regulatory change, one that preserves low density occupation eventhough it opens the way to a gradual and very slow increase in occupation. This gradual impact enables services to infer the actual demand of a system, and their patterns, and actually adapt the supply to the actual demand. In other words, day-to-day management of this sort of public infeastructure.

Supply of basic utilities such as power and water are provided centrally, thus they are more than able to adjust to demand. System bottlenecks are already known by utility and sanitatoon services. Therefore even if occupation doubled overnight the only problems they would cause would be localized in some bottlenecks that are handled by small-scale interventions.

So, what's bothering you? Do you believe that a duplex has the same effect as suddenly buildiling a massive network of high-rise buildings?

You can take this further. Having lived both styles you mention, plus the ultra dense, I (tongue-in-cheek) don't understand how a Dutchman's idea of "suburban feel" has to means "connected houses".

In a metropolis, almost everything is a few minutes walk away...and lots of it. Not a "kebab parlor" for eating, but hundreds of different restaurants (from every culture at every price point). Not a few "shopping areas" but first class shopping malls. These shopping malls aren't even _500m apart_ from each other, but directly connected. Public transport is great and cheap. This variety and, in many cases, extreme multiculturalism, exists because of dense population.

If there's on downside it's likely that some of these cities appear to be poorly planned: little green space and a lot of pollution. But not all (anecdotally, the ones worth living seem to have relatively few cars, but maybe that's a correlation).
I know you're trying to do the kind of non-witty sarcasm that usually just yields endless downvotes on HN, but you're onto something that I hadn't considered. I don't associate cars with anything, culturally. They're just a thing I use, like the dishwasher. But if there's a deep cultural idea that "car = freedom" then a residential area built around cars makes a lot more sense.

Jony Ive hasn't had a lot of design successes since Steve Jobs died. Some would even say he's had a lot of design failures since then.

If Tim Cook made a mistake, it was letting Scott Forstall go instead of Jony Ive back in 2012. The two were widely reported to not get along. The fact that Tim Cook couldn't, or wouldn't, mediate between them like Steve Jobs used to do does reflect poorly on Tim's part.

Wasn't 2016 supposed to be the year of the chatbot? Whatever happened to that?

These things have been around for years. There was a MIT Media Lab demo long ago. It's basically Amazon Echo for services, right? Google might make this work by insisting that services offer an API that they can call to get business from Google users. Of course, Google will want a cut of the revenue.

They'll probably get it going for food delivery and car services, then bail on anything that isn't basically online ordering. Airline reservations, maybe. Doctor appointments, probably not. Appointments with important individuals, unlikely.
So putting those figures into a tax calculator for California. First adjust income by GDP per capita (so marginal tax rates are comparable) giving gross amount of $183k, at roughly $60k per capita in CA vs $40k in FR.

Income taxes /social security is $61k. Employers social security an additional 10K. Then you need health insurance at $8-11k for a single 40yo. Property tax in a median 400k CA home is another 4K a year. So a total perhaps $85k/183k a year in taxes an health insurance. A little less but not all that different, maybe 5% lower overall for someone earning 2.5-3.0x median wage.
Local government have insight on the capacity of services currently available in some regions, and also which growth strategy they could follow to avoid very expensive investments with very negative externalities (i.e., congestioned freeways whose capacity can't be extended).

Allowing high-density residential construction near public transportation hubs creates more value than allowing urbam sprawl to grow indefinitely. The single most important reason why people are forced to waste their lives in long commutes is allowing residential neighborhoods to spring up in the middle of nowhere in places where their only way in and out of their homes is through a long congestioned road served by no public transportation service.
