What were the bad habits in code review that you were thinking about? I'm stuck with TFVC and the code review in TFS is very poor but I used ReviewBoard about 8 years ago and thought it was the best F/OSS available at the time.

That is a really interesting article, thanks. Through asking good questions about the relationships between the relative and absolute numbers it casts an uncomfortable spotlight onto our current responses to inequality.

The data in the graphic was misleading. Given the data corrected for China from 1981 it shows a flat line. I'm sure that is a useful takeaway, even if the politics isn't to your tastes.

I think the article posited that the graphic was based on incomplete data and failed to show the effect of China's policies. He wasn't trying to make a case for it being all roses before 1981, he was trying to demonstrate that the

A but and ben isn't a bothie, though. But and ben means a two-roomed cottage. A bothie is basic shelter for anyone to use. A bothie would be free but a but and ben is most likely a private residence.

Playing the didjeridu, particularly with circular breathing, is great fun for learning some good breath control. I'm sure other wind instruments may have similar benefits (caveat: IANAM - I am not a musician).

Scotland is a nation state, in a union with other nations. I'm sure you are aware of that so I'm not sure of what point you were trying to make.

Check the news. Plenty of rioting in the UK, although we prefer mass disobedience. If you work in the real world though, i.e. outside academia, prepare to be blacklisted.

Who said we're fine with this? Mostly it's apathy and ignorance, partly it's that if you go up against the authorities you know your card is going to be marked.
