Shouldn't it be the Congress that creates or voids the laws and not a court? If a law was standing for 150 years them whatever the law I feel it should be changed by the electable lawmakers, not by "council of elders".

My experience is totally to the contrary. That American software is overpromoted crap - see you there Salesforce.

I have an (admittedly) older BMW. It just works. At first I thought that the cruise control lever is worse than buttons on the weel. After spending a lot of time in the car - no it isn't, it's much better.

DI yes. All the crap under the name of "Clean" Architecture - no.

> Does the vast majority of people do more than one thing on their computer at a time?

Absolutely. Just looking at my wife, an office worker. Even when not working with whichever of 5 huge Excel files she has open, she is talking on Teams while working in a permanently open Outlook. Add a variety of internal sites which she constantly peruses. She just cannot have each single application taking the whole screen at a time.

that's a crazy take, consequences of a person being bumped off the plane is dramatically higher for the person than for the airline

You have to keep wondering if plan9 is so great, why nobody uses it really. Is it a conspiracy, or is it that plan9 is not that great after all?

probably same as with POST, that is not at all

There probably isn't a single example. But "quantity is a quality in itself". Classes sort of evolve when you need to manage dozens or hundreds of those associative arrays and don't want to keep in your head exactly what keys are in a given array. And when you have a dozen of arrays and a hundred of functions, which functions go with each array.

In itself every element is easy, but together they are hard.

the second and third photos aren't too bad actually, but first one could indeed have Blade Runners around...

That Paris thing is certainly bad, but it looks rather like a backside, which often are not pretty. From the other side the buildings look nicer: https://www.google.com/maps/@48.8230784,2.3662426,3a,75y,136...

Tolouse is not pretty - one of the Corbusier's or Corbusier-inspired crimes, but at least it does not have the scale.

That said even a tall and long building doesn't have to be dramatically bad https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falowiec#/media/File:GDANSK,_F...

I can only say I've been to a few cities here and there and nowhere did I feel as overwhelmed by the scale as in Moscow. Many of the cities remained not that high, London or Paris do not have such buildings in their city centers.

MDM in Warsaw is fine - at least from outside, no idea how comfortable it is inside. But it is a regular city built for humans.

BTW I find the centres of some US cities with their very dense skyscrapers and always shadowed streets as much bad and distopian.
