"Most" doctors are obviously not quacks.


Most quacks are obviously not doctors.


You only say this because you're not the one suffering the consequences


The consequence being additional underground public transport?


isn't this for cars? as in, private transport? and isn't it specifically for one brand of car?


From what I've seen, there are cars (telsa's) driving in a circle and you grab the next one available. Right now someone is driving it but at some point it's supposed to be autonomous. I think when the tunnel was first built you could drive your own car through it but as far as I'm aware they're not doing that anymore (I think it was just a publicity thing before the tunnels were close enough to completion to use).


Nothing has to give. Police did their work fine for centuries, they can continue doing it without mass surveillance.


But that's not a fair statement. Police did their work for centuries but it was nowhere near "fine" by modern standards and today there's a hundred ways more to commit crime


Are you aure that in those other times when it happenes it didn't end in catastrophe?


They just seem like facts to me. If the reader reacts with fear, that's because they interpreted those facts as things that induce fear.


Most people have an irrational fear of one or many things, that doesn’t mean those fears have to be entertained.

The media loves to instil fear to get clicks.


It is often easier to review commit-by-commit, provided of course that the developer made atomic commits that make sense on their own.


I feel like that requires a lot of coordination that I, in the midst of development, don't necessarily have. Taking my WIP and trying to build a story around it at each step requires a lot of additional effort, but I can see how that would be useful for the reviewer.

We can agree that we don't need those additional steps once the PR is merged, though, right?


I have literally never met a developer who does this (including myself). 99% of all PRs I have ever created or reviewed consist of a single commit that "does the thing" and N commits that fix issues with/debug failure modes of the initial commit.


Yeah, make it work. Commit. Build unit test. Commit. Fix bugs. Commit. Make pretty. Commit and raise a PR.


You never design a solution which needs multiple architectural components which _support_ the feature? I do, and would make little sense to merge them as separate PRs most of the time as that would mean sometimes tests written on the inappropriate level, also a lot more coordination and needs a lot more elaborate description then just explain how the set of components work in tandem to provide the user value.


How is compsumption a measure of good times? We are citizens, not consumers


I used consumption becasue the post used it. But take any other metric? Life expectancy?


Reading theae comments is just fucking depressing. How can you ask more of Tim Berners fucking Lee. FFS.

It's not his fault that most people use the web through the lens of a few tech oligopolies. The state of the web is not his fault.

This site used to recognize its heroes, not any more apparently.


He created the thing and made it free. I don't think we can ask more of him.
