Just want to say thank you for your comments here. Impressive writing and argumentation.

i don't know enough to comment on the cost of "normal" living, but think about what happens in NYC the moment you get laid off or, even worse, get sick. I think at that point Paris starts becoming a lot more attractive if you're working class..

>Comparing between countries with massively different demographics is pointless. The US simply has far more criminality than other wealthy nations.

Yes, that is exactly related to the point OP was trying to make? Where does this crime come from? Maybe instead of useless, if not counter-productive mass incarceration, we should focus on rehabilitation and more importantly improving social injustices that are the causes of the higher crime rate sin the US.

i'm struggling to think of cases where it is safer to drive a car than to be carried by subway or bus

i don't think gp necessarily meant that everything always worked out well and that there never were disagreements. I might be very wrong but what i took away from it was that no matter how much of a plan / how strong a policy you make, you're going to need to make some compromises unless you want to become the sort of parents we had (generalizing greatly).

I'm still a ways off from needing this specific advice (child is 2 ½), but i feel like the that is exactly how i wish i had been treated as a kid. Not what i wanted back then, which was obviously to just do everything i wanted to do, but what, looking back, i believe would've been great. Thank you.

In germany as well, mainly in "Lustiges Taschenbuch" which still exists (new issues being released, still mainly translated from italian i believe).

When my family moved to the US when i was 10, i was shocked that no equivalent existed! And hugely disappointed by the US comic book culture because, although 10 year old me really liked the images, it felt impossible to know what was going on without access to all the volumes.

Reading through the comments, the oddest thing to me is that practically no one talked about the question of comfort. I live and come from northern europe, so like most people and households here we take off our shoes. I guess it's mainly because the weather is shit here half the year but a big part is also that it's just awesome to remove your shoes at home!

I really like ayu (mirage is my favorite as well) and pretty much use the colors everywhere except for syntax highlighting where I just can't switch away from monokai pro.

Same for me. I've been using monokai and, since it came out, monokai pro. Every year or so I look at what new themes are out there and try the popular ones for a bit but nothing hits that sweet spot of aesthetically pleasing and functional so well for me.

Oh man, I really liked that one too. I couldn't find it with a quick search, but iirc they added that scene in one of the later movies (although maybe not with Hammond).

This feels like the sort of article managers will read and then forward to their designers and say "see, this guy gets it" ...

Hi, thanks for putting this online! Can you put the moroccan salted lemons on github as well?

A couple of months ago I asked my wife to put on an a specific album in the car. I was surprised to find out she had just turned on the spotify artist shuffle. She then explained that this is how she listens to all music on spotify: search artist, press the big green button. This is very anecdotal, but since then i have been amazed to find out that a huge chunk of < 30y olds i have asked listen to music exactly this way.

I'm still not sure if those users use spotify this way because the ui is so bad or if the ui is molded towards those users...
