I sympathise, and appreciate your summary. I was intentionally vague about exactly what I was referring to, for the very reasons that form the subject matter.

Specifically, stating it directly leads to wild denials, ostracisation, persecution and generally overwrought and unjustifiable discombobulation from many - as they puff about unwilling to accept it.

From a less-reticent perspective:

"On 12 July the British Government announced that it will be strongly encouraging vaccine passports for venues and events to exclude the unvaccinated from public life. Although they say this is a voluntary act of discrimination, they have explicitly stated that they retain the option to make this mandatory in the future, as they also retain the option to resume police state measures as and when they please. The French government co-incidentally announced the same measure on the same day, only going much further, barring the unvaccinated from cafes, metro etc, and mandating vaccination of health workers – which is to say, putting the unvaccinated out of work. They follow the Irish and Greek governments which have brought in similar measures, along with other countries and states worldwide.

The long-term effects of these measures will be disastrous. It will normalise the discrimination, exclusion and persecution of a section of the population.

[...]

Never underestimate how powerful the motive to retain one’s self image is. The longer this goes on and the more brutal the measures enforced the more powerful this motivation becomes. The difficulty of admitting you have been fooled is directly proportional to how much and for how long you have been fooled. Perhaps my labelling of the new regime as fascist will make it even more difficult for people to break from it, as the immediate instinct is self defence – ‘I’m not a fascist. This guy’s a lunatic, he’s calling me a fascist!’"

Having such cars in the city would solve the traffic problem. But why are not selected from the car industry holders? Does the customer not prefer them? Is the marketing that is missing? A good example of transition in the car industry is the massive use of the electric cars which I think that it began with Tesla cars. Tesla cars did the break through for the electric cars from my point of view. There is a need for another break through for using such cars.. or an evolutionary part of the community to start using and search such solutions

I actually trust USPS a lot more than UPS. They're a fantastic service, and my opinion isn't unique. The USPS is America's most trusted federal service and 74% of people think they do an "excellent" job. [1] I agree.

In fact, USPS is ranked as a "more trusted brand" than UPS in surveys (#1 vs #8 nationwide respectively). [2]

Anecdotal data point: pre-pandemic I was insisting on going to work by subway instead of cycling despite the bike being almost twice as fast. Because on the subway, I see people, whereas on the bike I only see cars. The people on the subway I'd only ignore, hard, (being a somewhat unsociable person in a somewhat unsociable region of a somewhat unsociable country), but that's still a far more human interaction than coexisting with cars. There are people inside, but the only time you notice is when they are at being a particularly bad driver. All other times it feels more like being in a herd of large, sluggish steel beasts.

Not only that. Your work application is used for personal stuff, it's super difficult to share a bunch of information scattered over many applications.

What we need is a "file server", and applications that can handle files, instead of saas.

SaaS was nice, because of the distribution model. Also because of licensing, but that can be done without servers too.
We now have good distribution and update functionality, so we should go back to self-hosted files, where we are better in control over our own data.
Yea I love this ability to drag and drop stuff. Combined with “open .” as you mention, it does nearly make up for the lack of a new file context menu!
Ah, so they just multiplied the ridiculous cost of bicycles by the ridiculous cost of electric cars. Brilliant.
My experience is not that bad. It's Linux after all, of course you're gonna need to tweak something. I spent a few hours customizing Neovim with Coc.nvim and were off to go.

It's kinda crazy that Termux on my phone runs smoother than any terminal on my laptop. (TBF it does have more RAM and faster storage!)
Sadly, this is how things are for many of us students, I currently study bachelors in CS here in Nepal and for me and some of my friends stuck in our villages (lockdown isn't still over here yet), we have been doing C assignments using editors avalialble in the playstore.

Seeing these apps have millions of downloads, we're definitely not alone and I have seen many indian and other south asian friends do the same.

My personal setup includes a 2$ stand and A samsung J7 phone paired with a keyboard over OTG cable. Since I have been doing this for few years I have a pretty complex setup of termux, a student credit powered VM from Azure, emacs. I have managed to develop python cli apps, jupyter notebooks, even flutter development using some port forwarding hacks.
You assume that police quickly showing up save lives (except only for swatting). This might be true in some cases, like mass shootings.

But in case of domestic disputes it's not that clear cut. Police arrives in minutes, in the heat of the moment, escalate further and they shoot someone, usually the best armed one among people arguing or just the one that has most trouble with calming immediately in the middle of a quarrel. In many cases if they caught a flat tire along the way and arrived 10 minutes later, situation might deescalate till then.

There must be some optimal reaction time for the police otherwise if faster is always better then the best thing would be to each of us having a policemen with loaded gun pointed at the back of our head all the time, half-asleep, ready to be woken up to shoot immediately in reaction to whatever crime we seem to be trying to commit.

I don't think the problem with prototype inheritance comes from whether people like creating things by taking something that already exists and modifying it. In fact, people very often use classical inheritance to emulate prototypical inheritance ("oh, i'll just add an extra method here and override that method there").

The problems normally relate to maintenance and change over time:

1. We reject classical-inheritance-emulating-prototypical-inheritance because it makes it hard to change the original. But copying a file and changing it doesn't have this problem, since the copy and the original are forks. If you need to make changes to both files, then you need to make changes to both files.

2. We prefer classical inheritance because a class is a description of how you can use an instance of that class. The class definition is usually very declarative and lends itself to great tooling support. Prototypical inheritance is imperative by its nature. This means there's no generic answer to the question, "How can I use this object", but only "how can I use this object right now?". But copying a file and changing it doesn't have this problem, since the copy and original are data, whose use is determined by external tools.

Another commenter in this thread specifically claims that prototypical inheritance was derived from this model (with a sense of optimism and joy, I think). But the fact that one extension of this model failed didn't mean the whole model is a failure. In this case, the suggestion is just to recognise what a user is doing and facilitate that. I think that's a lot less trouble than a language feature. (Actually, I think Jet Brains IDEs have a lot of features that tend towards this. They just might not be quite there.)

Bookmarks are such a convenient and intuitive way to organize, I'm still baffled how few people actually use them. They exist like forever (1993 according to Wiki), yet there is always someone asking for links to sites/files/Tools/apps they use basically daily.
> the German Green party has a rule that only women can occupy the top position at various levels.

Uh, no.

The party is co-led by a man and a woman. The leaders of their parliamentary group is a man and a woman. The Green Party minister-president of Baden Württemberg is a man.

They do support quotas on executive boards, but that is a damn far cry from your claims of "only women can occupy the top position".

Internally in the party, they strive towards a 50/50 quota, but it's not a strict policy and the actual membership composition varies between elections.

> a university department in the EU announced that they will no longer hire males until they fulfil their quota.

Which university and which department? Also, a single department at a single university does not a widespread policy make.

This seems exactly wrong to me. Getting rid of complicated deployment lifecycles is exactly the job that people use monorepos to solve. Wasn't that one of the reasons they are used at Google, Facebook, etc? As well as being able to do large-scale refactors in one place, of course.

You should be able to merge a PR to cause a whole system to deploy: clients, backend services, database schemas, libraries, etc. This doesn't preclude wanting to break up commits into meaningful chunks or to add non-breaking-change migration patterns into libraries -- but consider this: is it meaningful for a change to be broken into separate commits just because it is being done to independent services? What benefit does cutting commits this way give you?

What you want to avoid is needing to do separate PRs into many backend service and client repos, since: (1) when the review is split into 10+ places it's easier for reviewers to miss problems arising due to integration, (2) needing to avoid breaking changes can sometimes require developers to follow multi-stage upgrade processes that are so difficult that they cause mistakes, and (3) when there are separate PRs into different repositories these tend to start independent CI processes that will not test the system as-it-will-be (unless you test in production or have a very good E2E suite -- which would be a good idea in this situation).

I will say that, even in a monorepo, a big change might still happen gradually behind feature flags. But I think that generally it's nice to be able to deploy breaking changes in a more atomic fashion.
No, 10 years, but only for regular weekend exercises (5 times a year or so) plus being on call for emergencies. Whereas military service or other civil service (typically helping in some hospital or care facility) was a 8 to 24 month block of duty, just like any other care worker or soldier.

THW was seen as the really easy way out of the draft (if you could get a spot), because emergencies were rare and weekend exercises were "easy". Informally THW stood for "Trinken, Helfen, Weitertrinken", "Drinking, Helping, Continued Drinking".
You're welcome, I'm sure. I'm lucky enough to have a decent size yard and I spend a lot of time trying to see things from the perspective of the animal and plant life that inhabits it. A lot of our information problems (imho) come from too much detail of specificity at the wrong scale. You don't look at a tree as a collection of leaves, or draw one by cataloguing all their sizes. Likewise a tree rarely grows as a pure function of its DNA-encoded phyllotaxis patterns, but rather a combination of those and the variations of its environment - soil composition,w ater, other roots, helper fungi, sunlight, prevailing winds, and local animal life. It's truly amazing to watch the interactions between different plants and trees over a period of years.

I think because we're so used being able to catalog, measure, categorize and sort our various files and directory structures, manipulate them programmatically, have our browsers or operating systems identify a particular leaf by reference or just by searching for some of the micro-structure within it (usually words) etc. etc. we tend to overlook the organicess of how a data collection grows and opt instead of producing analytics measuring it. It'd be like trying to describe a tree with tables of vector statistics about the angle and length of branch sections - it's valid in certain ways, but doesn't give you a good sense of the tree's shape or structure. It's as if we've developed a sort of techno-myopia towards the shape of our own output and activities, and approach everything by dissecting it into slices and then ranking them by various criteria.

Someone had put shelves in the telephone box and it has a small plastic curtain to protect the books from the rain

You can get a lot of gas for 10,000 dollars / euros. Engine maintenance is rare nowadays, oil change every now and then and maybe a belt change every 5 years. Both cars have the same tire, suspension, hydraulics, low voltage battery and body maintenance. In general, I think you still have to have periodic expensive maintenance to keep warranty for your electric car.

In local prices, 10,000€ gets you about 7000 liters of gasoline, with 5 liters per 100 km you get 140,000 kilometers. The car would on average probably be ten years old at that point.

Many Priuses do tend to be driven a lot and for a long time, with a quick search I can see a local one that has gone over half a million kilometers. So there is certainly potential for long term financially positive electric cars.
Yes, theoretically. Has it actually happened in practice? Did they pay?

(All cases I can find are either local EU companies or large multinationals who do have boots on the ground in the EU.)

It is cheap, but it sure isn't as effective as private healthcare. Wait times on NHS treatment start at several months and can be years. I don't know about you, but waiting months to have a serious condition diagnosed and treated isn't what I'd call 'effective' healthcare.

> it is still an excellent place to be.

Oh, it sure isn't for tech workers. The taxes are very high, the public services you get back are shoddy, certainly shoddier than what you'd be able to afford with your job in the US. The salaries are 2-4 times lower, depending on your experience.

On the other hand, if you're working at a low income job, then it's not too bad -- you usually can qualify for certain benefits like housing and min wage is livable in most parts of the country (except London). But, given the context, I assume OP is a tech worker and, for a tech worker, unless you're fleeing war or conflict, there are many, much better options. The US is the obvious one, but even working remotely from most central or eastern European countries is going to be a better experience and lifestyle than the UK.

And yet that's precisely what lots of businesses do: raise the prices, cut the wages, drop the product quality. Oh no, the customers start losing the brand loyalty and go to the competitors, why on Earth, those ungrateful pigs!

It seems to be especially popular in the street food business and food industry in general over here: someone thinks that surely one can produce decent <insert whatever here> at reasonable cost and earn some good profit from it, and indeed they can, the customers are happy, the business is growing a-a-and then something happens and the market self-corrects: the price grows to the level of the competitors', and the quality drops to the competitors' level too, now the "playing field" is level again (all products are more or less equally mediocre and equally expensive), wait about a year for another entrepreneur to rinse and repeat this cycle.

There must be some objective reason why that happens though I am really not sure what it is. But whatever that reason is, it seems to have been working pretty much without exceptions for the past ten years at least.
