It's not clear to me that checked exceptions are actually a mistake, rather than just developers getting annoyed at their compiler forcing them to handle errors.

Just fyi, Scala predates Kotlin in not enforcing checked exceptions.
that's hilarious.. but here is a thing lot of people grew up entirely dependent on cars in suburbs, so they think that's the best. They really have no other perspective, only context they have is really bad buses in really bad neighborhoods. And obviously if you are drawing your conclusion based on that limited experience you will conclude that I'd never pick to be in there. Same with suburbs, people who were born there, grew up there and now are living there will come up with bunch of reason why it's SOO GOOD to be there. But they don't know the ease of being in walking distance of doctors, pharmacy, gym, grocery stores, chain food stores, public transportation, parks, school, etc. I who has lived in NYC, had to live in a suburban area due to job for a year. And I finally understood things about USA culture that I couldn't get before..

- Why in movies college is seen as peak of life? Because if you live in a suburb that's the last time you are going to be around new people in general. Rest of your life is going to be in isolated house, isolated car, and some workmates.

- Why car was/is seen as a symbol of freedom? Need to buy milk? drive 10 miles in that direction, need to go to gym? drive 8 miles in that direction.

- Why guns are so valuable? If you live in middle of nowhere cops aren't coming on time..

- Why going to church is so big? Well that's the last place left to socialize after college, that and walmart.

This is a common legend, but it's hard to accept. China is way more innovative than much of Europe for example. The USSR was actually an extremely innovative place as well.

Also, huge corporations are themselves extremely centrally planned, and that is where much of their strengths lie. There's a reason why Apple was able to capitalize on the smartphone, and it wasn't some market of suppliers.

The problem with centralized planning is that it tends to ignore many local concerns, often with disastrous consequences, especially when leaders start to ignore any feedback from below in their central planning. This has caused the downfall of innumerable companies in various markets, but there is usually another company to take their place. When used by countries, it causes famines and other avoidable disasters, as happened in much of the USSR and China, especially under Mao's monstrous regime.

But when done right, as it was in China after the 90s and before the Pooh, it has also caused the single biggest reduction in poverty in world history, measured by number of people.

> miracle of random chance that led to our existence, with an almost lackadaisical disregard for human suffering

I find your position most uncomfortable, life as a miracle absolute best thing (toxic positivity) when they are thinking from a living a better life than most people on earth can ever dream of. This is the "lackadaisical disregard for human suffering" and want them to continue this suffering because it's uncomfortable for them and they themselves are privileged since birth. Nothing is going to make people's life better for sure.

edit: and if people (without psych evaluation or capacity to provide good life) can bring someone from void without their consent and with lots of disadvantages, then people should also have the option to leave if they don't like it. They should not be forced to live the long life by privileged once.

Okay, but a proper experiment would use an actual bike lock attached to a bike, not clamped in a vice.

I have the Kryptonite New York Fahgettaboudit Mini. Two cuts are needed to remove it. Along with the quality of steel, and awkwardness of cutting a lock that isn't clamped in a vice, there's no way the thief will be done in 20 seconds.

The best seems to be the Hiplok D1000, which took 20 minutes for them to cut using a corded grinder, vice and several cutting blades. https://youtu.be/GMg6zVdYI0g?t=179

The Hiplok weighs 2kg, (same as my Kryptonite), so looks like a great lock for e-bikes. Only problem is, everyone wants one and not enough supply.

Ghost in the Shell would have been perfectly fine if they hadn't mixed two completely unrelated stories from the anime, which involved merging a human main character with an AI main character with completely different goals and background. The result was just as confusing as you'd expect from Ghost in the Shell but without any of the interesting parts.

Though I'm not sure why so many people complained about the cast back then. The actors were great and fit their roles reasonably well aside.
That's my point, if you had better transportation system it'd reduce car dependency, but you can't create economically viable public transportation system for suburbs, which were designed to maximize roads. Not be pessimistic, but it'd take efforts along the line of fighting a new world war to fix this. People who live in suburbs suffer with a form of stockholm syndrome and really thing they are living the best life. Yet they end up spending most of their lives isolated and in traffic. Cities should be designed that things you need daily/weekly/monthly are close to you. Let's see what do I need, or have needed in last two weeks: Pharmacy, medical specialists, grocery stores, hardware store, barber shop, food shops, accountant, library, park... and I've walked to all of them. For each one of these I'd have to make potentially a separate trip in a car, if I was living in suburbs.
Half of the list is equally premature conclusions. Without entertaining this too much: You have properties, slots, __setitem__, dict merging with inplace h1.update(h2) or returning {**h1, **h2, “key”:”toadd”}. Defaultdict being clunky, really? Mypy does catch assignment typos outside __init__. Chain failing on non-iterables sounds expected, what else should happen? Implicitly treating as list of 1…? Explicit returns is a good thing, it avoids ambiguity and allows static analysis on missing return paths or returning wrong type.

Still got some gems in there that python could benefit from. Like safe navigation and nested dig, you can sort of emulate it with .get(“top”, {}).get(..) but it’s messy.

> But here we're not giving Native Hawaiians extra permissions. Instead, we're taking away permissions from everyone else. If we were just giving them extra permissions, then I wouldn't be nearly as upset about this.

The argument is that customary practices they enjoyed were taken away from them.

Therefore your objection does not apply.

Similar to how some indigenous people in the Arctic have special permission to hunt whales, or how some Native Americans may possess eagle feathers.

Plus, we've seen how Neo-Druids have right to worship at Stonehenge, and that's a relatively new cultural tradition.

> My point was that if the people living there didn't want it to apply to them, they would have asked for independence instead of asking for statehood.

Annex a kingdom, move in a bunch of non-indigenous people until they are a large majority, then hold a vote on statehood. The majority wants statehood.

And you think that's deeply meaningful way to understand how to treat the minority population whose country was stolen from them though a coup d'état which occurred with the active participation of agents and citizens of the United States?

Surely the results of the 1978 Constitutional Convention give a stronger indication of what Hawaiian self-determination means in this regard.

>4. Citizens pay up to 40% of the total price on their own, and ask the bank to lend them the rest of the 60% and get it paid back in the NEXT 30 YEARS (often paying as much as twice as the original price).

So they're less leveraged than most American home purchases of 5~20% down payment. 30-year mortgages are also standard in the U.S. You emphasized "NEXT 30 YEARS". Do you think it should be longer or shorter?

>5. The bank gives 60% directly to the real estate corp. So in fact the citizen IS OWING MONEY TO THE BANK, and not to the estate corp.

That's how mortgages work. Why else would a bank be involved if the money is still owed to the seller? Do you think mortgages shouldn't be a thing, that people should save up 100% of the money then pay in full when purchasing a home?

>6. Often, the real estate corp uses this money to pay back previous loans, or use this money to purchase more land from the local govt. So current (future) constructions pretty much depends on whether this Ponzi scheme could continue.

~300/4400 banks represening ~1% (I think 500B USD worth) of total PRC banking assets fell within the high risk category according to PBOC audit last year. Which included the rural banks running the high interest scam by gangs hence the April crack down. For reference the 24 major banks hold 70% of assets. Interestingly these stats were released in PBOC Q1 press briefing in mid April that seems to coincide with hammer falling on these banks. It's a hit on small rural bank reputation, but it's not catastrophic. Shouldn't be surprise it will take months to untangle mess and determine whether / who should be compensated by national bank insurance scheme for non-compliant transactions from obvious scam (10% interest). So far they've settled to compensate clients with 50k rmb or less on Monday to spare small time dummies who got scammed. Questionable if larger depositers will, or should be compensated.

> So they're less leveraged than most American home purchases of 5~20% down payment.

the american home is already built (mostly), for such a down-payment. The bank takes the home as collateral.

If it was an off-the-plan purchase (which is what the OP described), you don't really pay the full amount, but just a deposit (like 10-20%). The risk of the development falls solely onto the developers, not the buyer - the deposit is held in escrow, not used for funds to pay for construction or other developer activities.

> You keep describing how this works in most places as if it's something outrageous

that's because it is, when you compare it to western developments. The risk in real estate development in china lies solely on the buyer, and it's absolutely not the case in the west.

by deliberately leaving the regulation vague, the CCP is able to use this regulation as a form of control over the populous.

Come the 70 yr renewal, if there are citizenry who are attempting to disrupt the power structure of the CCP, they will be the first to lose their lease (or some other method such as a high tax which is equivalent to losing the lease).

Mark my words. Regulation that is not fully well specified, and enforced universally, is basically just a political weapon.

It's a stretch of a tangent, but this reminded me of the Therac-25 incident in which experienced operators of the machine could enter commands too quickly and cause it to enter an unexpected state.

> One failure occurred when a particular sequence of keystrokes was entered on the VT-100 terminal which controlled the PDP-11 computer: if the operator were to press "X" to (erroneously) select 25 MeV photon mode, then use "cursor up" to edit the input to "E" to (correctly) select 25 MeV Electron mode, then "Enter", all within eight seconds of the first keypress, well within the capability of an experienced user of the machine. These edits weren't noticed as it would take 8 seconds for startup, so it would go with the default setup.

dicts are just a little too easy to use. You just smear it down, pass it around, and you're in business. If you really want to shoot yourself in the foot, also modify its structure here and there along the way, it's just so convenient. Who needs all that hassle of declaring a data class for each little thing?

It took me a little too long to realize that a data class represents a contract about the structure of your data, meaning that no matter how many calls deep you are passing it around, you will always know its structure without having to trace it back to the origin, and that's a powerful thing.

> If an exception is unexpected, usually there won't be an exception handler for it

That honestly depends on how the language and program are written, python is a great and horrible example of where you can handle any exception even ones that were just created by the program:

try:
crash_hard_here()
except: # by default (and unfortunately) will catch *everything*
pass # and this is one of the worst offenders inside an except, to just outright ignore the exception and continue as if nothing happened and to not even log it.

I can not tell you the amount of production code where I've seen catch all exceptions, and they are the lazy way to know something will not "crash" even though much worse things can happen now.
I believe one of the assumptions is that the failed process can automatically restart (e.g. using systemd, Kubernetes, hypervisor policies, top-level retries) - so that transient errors recover automatically, and at worst cost some performance or tiny bits of lost work (e.g. the setting an end user just hit apply on doesn't get applied, so they have to click again).
