It's a classic case of engineers thinking they can solve people-problems with technical solutions. Both the thing that makes the web so important (a critical mass of adoption) and the things that are ruining it (Google's monopoly, adtech, product-over-engineering mentality) are societal. You can make pristine new monuments to your personal vision for the web all day long, but no amount of engineering by itself will have the tiniest impact on this status-quo. Changing things requires changing minds - of product managers, of legislators, etc.

> Once corona goes away, only the paranoid will follow these guidelines.

The social distancing guidelines? Sure. A lot of people don't give a fuck already, if it wasn't for appearances.

Working from home, skipping the 1-2 hour commute, sitting in a depressing office all day? Oh you bet you can kiss that one goodbye. I for one, will not return to the office and my employer (a large software company) seems to expect that as well. The day of people going to do office will be numbered. There still are reasons to go, socialize with your peers, etc. but that's pretty much it. And we have excellent offices and I had literally zero commute time before I moved one hour out of town in wise foresight of corona impacts. I never felt as good as living in the nature, working from home, getting away from it all. Now I hate cities (completely unimaginable before, I was always a city person, or so I thought. Corona changed that completely, and I bet I am not alone)

But how many of those problems stemmed from the external requirement that those fleeing would have to commute back in 5 days per week, and for the most part all on the same 9-5 schedule? There's a version of moving away from dense urban cores that still accommodates community, transportation, public space, local necessities, commerce and small businesses, etc.
I would say it would be unusual not to have double glazing these days. It has been a thing for decades and there are grants available to make your property more energy efficient.

That said there are a lot of a) old buildings that are protected and so can't have the windows replaced easily/in an economically viable way (e.g. each window needing to be hand-crafted in wood to non-standard sizes to look identical bto what was there before), b) a lot of just properties nrented out to single people who rent a single room etc and the landlord simply doesn't care/bother, c) houses that were lived in by someone for the last 30/40/50 years where basically no maintenance or decoration had been done - they've died and someone else had moved in.

And as a result we have a lot of bank accounts hacked over phone because people don't know how to use it. Or more importantly how NOT to use it. All it takes is a phonecall to someone, tell them someone is trying to hack into their bank account and they need to hurry and ID themselves because the thief is running off with their pension. The police get these kinds of cases every day.

I love BankID but I have been using it since the start and know the pitfalls to watch out for. Most people does not know the problems though.
You made a very straightforward statement, that the 11 deaths on the Golden Gate Bridge is "a safety record matching or surpassing most modern projects", but that statement is actually complete and total bullshit. I didn't ask for arguments that construction is dangerous, or that people die on construction projects.

And considering the primary argument is about why we can't build infrastructure project cheaply in the US anymore, bringing up international projects is pointless. Nobody is surprised that 3rd world countries and authoritarian regimes have looser labor safety standards than the US. But if you do take one of your examples from a Western country the Gotthard Base Tunnel, it had 8 deaths, but the project lasted 17 years, over 4 times the Golden Gate's timeline, and the tunnel is 95 miles long.
Although I was not thinking about conspiracy theories like 9/11 or Perl Harbor, fundamentally I am quite curious to find why is more believable for average American that Putin can rig US election than that Trump can attack some oversea country with excuse of them having chemical weapons.

I remember that Iraq was attacked with strong claims from intelligence agency that they have weapons of mass destruction (another president), America destroyed Iraq and what remained from that destroyed economy was seed of ISIS. Later on, when they have not found any evidence of weapons official admired that they spiced the info. Because hey oil was interest to protect. Despite biggest protest in history of the World, and despite not having UN approval America attacked Iraq.

Also, I am curious to find out, what makes someone think that it is ok to drop a bomb that will level entire city and kill thousands innocent people, basically committing genocide. Allays were portrayed as good in WW2 but are we?
First bombed was dropped to Hiroshima 70,000 people vaporized instantly, later on 140,000 would die. Now I guess they had some kind report, but they did not stopped there, they dropped another one to Nagasaki.

So let say they did not know about first one, but second one was pure genocide, targets were civilians.
Now I ask among those ~300,000 was there any innocent child?

My point is what ever way you feel it is justifiable it is not, history is written by the winners, and our "morality" tends to bend accordingly.

As we progress in future, if we do not find mechanisms to identify human psychopathic tendencies we are doomed, as each fraction of advancement would just mean higher risk and probability of mutual destruction. Technology is just a multiplier of all our abilities and who we are. Although we tend to think we are better than our savage ancestors, history has proven number of times - that we are not.
I don't think fear of diseases will drive it. I will be driven by profits. Companies have realized that you can have 1,000 people in what used to be a 200 person office by having them work from home most days. The savings are substantial.

Employees too will save. You can easily live 50-100 km away in a suburb if you only need to commute to work once a week or maybe less.

Of course, when employees don't have to pay dearly to live downtown NYC or centrally in London, companies will soon realize that they can pay them less as well.

You could argue that this could have happened without corona, but culture is hard to change. What many companies have seen now, is that virtually entire offices can work remotely, and that even sales people and mid level managers can do their jobs remotely.

Also, technology has improved. Bandwidth is far better today than 10 years ago. Companies use cloud solutions to a larger extent where before employees were hooked up to a local server room. The work station is now a laptop connecting via WiFi. 10 years ago, most used desktops with cat cables.

It has already started by companies continuing the lock-down by offering limitless or plentiful work from home days for employees. Then, they will fund proper chairs and desks at home, maybe part of the electricity bill. It's far cheaper than having to pay for your cubicle in NYC.

Growing companies will delay the plans of leasing more office space. They will introduce work-from-home policies in stead. Companies in financial trouble will get rid of the office more quickly than otherwise.

I thought that at least employees in their 20's would want to work in an office. After all, office life is a large part of your social life when you are a young professional. But in the companies I know of that did surveys in the last weeks of the lock-down on who wanted to return to the office first, even the young employees chose to continue to work from home. These were surveys involving hundreds or thousands of employees and more than 60 percent of the young employees wanted to work from home although the offices were in new class A buildings.

Yes, you will miss out of the part of your social life that offices did provide. But that will free up time for social life elsewhere. On your own terms. Yes, there are certainly things that are more efficient face-to-face. But how many hours did employees waste commuting to the office, talking to colleagues at the water cooler, attending meetings, going for lunch breaks etc.? Office life was never super efficient either.
Considering that I use at least four languages[1] every day, and am thankful[2] to be living someplace that has not yet been completely overrun by chains and big box stores, I'd argue the assertion of a "heterogenous" US might need defending.

On the original question: I think switzerland is nice for two reasons. (a) we didn't blow ourselves up twice last century, which meant that even with little absolute growth we went from being a relatively poor european country to a relatively rich one, and (b) putting more emphasis on quality of life than on hustle results in, well, more quality of life.

[1] It doesn't work for francophones, who have a general swiss (or at best cantonal) idiom, but in swiss-german there are several isoglosses just within my valley that allow me to place a speaker.

[2] a french friend put it this way, earlier this century: "Modern europeans are too busy feeling sorry for those poor benighted savages who had the misfortune to be born a few villages over, to bother travelling halfway around the world to bring their superior way of life to people at gunpoint."

The thing that blew my mind when I started programming with BLISS in the mid-70s was that it didn't have the artificial distinction between statements and expressions that nearly every other language of the day had - and most languages still have. In BLISS, everything was an expression and returned a value, much like Ruby today.

Many of those issues had nothing to do with how crappy commuting is for affluent people (a significant problem) but what happens to the people without the means to escape.

Local tax base diminishes, concentration of low incomes leads to a sort of ghettoization, etc.

Go tried to break the rules and call macOS syscalls directly (like they do on Linux, because Go is a massively NIH language so they don't use libc where they can get away with it) and it bit them hard when an OS update broke all Go apps.
> `require` is even better than you've indicated: it simply calls the contents of `package.loaders`, in order, on any new string it's given.

Python’s import goes through the configured finders (sys.meta_path) and invokes them in-order with the name of the package being imported until one of them returns an import spec. Sound ‘bout the same to me?

Take a look at tornado codes if you want a rated (instead of rateless) erasure code. It's related to fountain codes (and linked on the wikipedia article), and does basically the same thing as Reed-Solomon but with quasi linear encoding, IIRC n(log*n). I have to check if the patents expired, but my masters work was adapting BitTorrent to be backed by Tornado codes. Works surprisingly well since the original BitTorrent is structured around blocks anyways. I have the Ruby code around somewhere.

German writer Hesse said, "Tourism is love". Since it is an "encounter", it is naturally an encounter rather than a request. Love encounters in travel, strange places, strange people, even more romantic atmosphere in the background of the beautiful scenery. Gorgeous, fantasy and blurry, people are never satisfied; encounter, an encounter of wind and snow, a moment of sudden heart.

That would absolutely wreck performance, particularly startup times. You're not going to beat the performance of having 100 open tabs share the same highly optimized PGO-ed browser runtime by replacing that with 100 different runtimes.

> The rationale behind that statements leads to the attitude of not even attempting to be objective.

What is "the rationale behind that statement", other than intellectual honesty? The statement is true, not even attempting to be objective does not follow from it. Denying it to achieve something that isn't even gained by its denial is a refusal to be more objective, plain and simple.

> So while you are correct the statement on its own does not state that

.. I'm still at -1. Not because what I said is wrong, but because some would prefer it to be wrong or something.

> I believe that to be dangerous because it then allows you to engage in sophistry.

That also doesn't follow. I would even say that is sophistry. The statement is true, it doesn't become untrue because of things you claim would follow from it, even if you had shown how they follow from it, which you did not.
Say you wrote your 10 lines script that mocks your third party endpoint.

running it on port 7659 is

> php -S 0.0.0.0:7659 scripts/test.php

and done.

Compared to this one liner, the proposition is making a dockerfile with a base image, perhaps your local extensions if you had to compile them, and configuration if you changed from the default one.

Then a docker-compose to share your local file, which references the previous Dockerfile, and specifies the right port. Knowing if your testfile is not self contained, you’d need to map any services it needs to access to.

Then you run the whole.

It is by no mean complicated, and you could keep around a template of all of that around in case you need it (or you copy it from your main application’s docker files, and modify if you need to it more lax). As you say it also gives you more freedom. It’s just a tad more tedious than literally one line.

My house in Surrey and several others around me were built in the Edwardian era 1900-1910 and they are all single glazed. The windows are made of timber with very attractive moulding around it. Most double glazed windows are made of PVC (plastics) and they look very plain. Double glazed timbers windows are extremely expensive.

All the previous homes I lived in had mould fungus growth on walls and behind wall papers. The double glazing ensured air-tight house but lack of air circulation. Single glazed windows seem to be really good at preventing mould growth, of course at the extra cost of heating bills.

Downloaded unsigned executables will not run by default on macOS and the error dialog provides no affordance to override this.
