i guess we're just going around in circles. It happens nowhere near US levels in e.g. western europe.

Considerate driving should be rewarded. Great to see in action.

It's not. Going 70 in close proximity is extremely dangerous.

Speed limiters on cars. Limiters on acceleration would be good too.

A plastic bag is literal trash. The problem with these sort of equivocations is that they conveniently side-step the categorical argument. One something like; do not surround yourself with trash. realshadow has rule 7, https://ne

It's modernism, a mental disability that because something looks futuristic, it must be better. One of the main symptoms is an obsession with measurement; a ball maximizes volume to surface, and because that number is more than another

Traffic calming is creating a virtuous driving environment, encouraging considerate and calm driving. Current american roads are a vicious environment, encouraging speeding, jostling for position, zoning out. Traffic calming is the exact op

Sorry to hear about the accidents. One part makes me wondr (tangential to your stories). Has honking really ever prevented any accidents? I don't even know why a car needs a horn, 99% it's abused out of frustration, and I cannot E

I hear gunshots a few times a month (not always violent, sometimes just drunk partiers who think it's fun. lol, oops accidentally killed a person in their bed). Three murders in one year, on the same corner, two blocks over. I live in

Thanks for laying out train of thought. I have a heard time putting it into words why exactly hooks don't deliver on their promise. > there is a class of bugs where the only solution is to change the list of dependency variables for

I upvoted because yes. in practice, pick your battles. Also then in practice, you'll get people shrugging off their hooks get called 10 times iso 1. then maybe add useMemo everywhere just to be sure. Hmm.. still kind of weird. Maybe sp

Sure. But search anything about React, and you'll see examples in hooks. I don't even understand the reason why class-based is "legacy". Why are hooks inherently better? Code-reuse is a factoring concern, not a paradigm

Shame. Simple class-based React-components are joy to work with. Flat code layout, simple life-cycle, no new semantics to learn ("rules of hook"), no crufty mem-allocation. I firmly believe that FP-seepage into web programming is

The reverse is true too though. A lot of people love to complain. Small examlle, A ton of workplaces, if you have small talk, people will yammer on how busy they are (they're not).same with anything else. when you look in your heart, y

Thanks for chiming in. When smart becomes a catch-all term, it feels a little tautological, but makes sense to me in that context.

by trgn 3y ago
Why do smart people need to be rewarded more? What's so special about being smart, that this is the main axis of merit? You never hear the same said about, say, being strong, healthy, patient, cold blooded (maybe this one), ... It&#x27

The criticism is valid, but also a little lame. The author takes on a ridiculing tone, painting Curtis as having big ideas but being too naive and infantile to actually develop them, a 16 year old raging at the shadowy elites, it's the

This is very common in regional newspapers, especially online. Even for "real" stories. "This local team is advancing to ..." Garbage.

It really is not. That's a made up defense. The people who devalue mcmansions largely do so because these houses are the material legacy this country is leaving, and it's objectively shit. They are an irresponsible way to build an
