feels like it is in tech. any gains in hardware or algorithm advance, immediately get consumed by increase in data retention and software bloat.

Startup scene in Europe is where? Berlin, Amsterdam, London, where else?

no I understand that part, it just seems that at least today, there is a relation between a dynamic tech industry and high military spending. There's some historical evidence too (gps, internet, ...). Europe has a really stagnant tech

architecture parlante was a terrible influence on architecture. buildings became to conceived as sculptures. fine for mausoleums perhaps, which are useless anyway, but horribly contrived for anything else.

maybe I misunderstand, but iirc i had to compile C# first into a separate dll.

Great article, has much wisdom. If you're contributing to a large code base, you need to be knee deep. It's against your developer instinct, but it's constant pruning and polishing. It is the only way.

ah thanks, I think I get it now. "heritable annuity" is the perpetual interest. "until repayment" threw me off. 75/1200 = 6.25% though. Where does the 2.5% interest rate quoted in the article come from?

hooks was the beginning of the end imho. it replaced nicely encapsulated OO, with unmaintainable functional cruft. runtime footprint of react has vastly increased, and code has gotten harder to debug.

they're not my fellow city dwellers. they've turned their back on city life, live 15-30miles away, rarely if ever visit. it's just an administrative, historical quirk that they have a claim on the city and local politics. oth
