    @0 @twee @cjd Oh good, then it's something else I'm accidentally dragging in. Maybe this is salvable without too much effort and without having to use a proper web server. :-)

    @kensanata @22 Fantastic writing. And for someone who has lived here on and off for a decade, it's great to recapture that fascination for the wonders of our city that he conveys so well.

    The MTR *is* a fiefdom unto itself and it was shocking to see the pictures of police firing teargas inside.

    @0 @cjd @twee I have been paid for software for over 20 years, some of it JS on the backend, and I agree with some of the criticism.

    Luckily ES5 contains some workarounds for the worst quirks that came out of the original 10-day design spurt. There is not yet a workaround for Express carrying 400+ MiB of transitive dependencies.

    @0 @cjd Many professional programmers ascribe JS a very narrow role.

    The reasons listed by @twee , fair or not, are certainly among the reasons programmers may have for doing so, or for not wanting a full Turing language in their browser.

    @twee @cjd had JS not been a thing, it is conceivable that we would have been running Java applets all over the place. That was Sun's wish and hope for the web, Netscape just outdid them.

    We would have activated applets for each page just as much as we today activate JS for each page.

    Anyway, so here I am, searching for the phrase "the most dystopian shit" on Twitter.

    I closed the tab now. I'm fine, don't worry.

    @mono @dielan @moonman Most of any group being "very happy" about anything is a pretty bright spot on any sociological graph. Really makes me wonder how distorted self-reported happiness is.

    Still, even self-reported values are somewhat comparable to themselves.

    2) There are probably a whole bunch of factors, some correlated with number of previous partners, some negatively correlated. That would create some kind of polynomial curve that might look any way it likes.

    @lains @neauoire @xj9 I'm sorry, I got a bit carried away and was more aggressive and wall-of-text-y than I should have, which didn't create a good conversation.

    My point was that I see a more or less straight line from barter to paper money, each step being a distinct improvement on the previous.

    It would seem that Brock corresponds to Dent's.

    Dent's folded a few decades after the Opium Wars. They were too slow to escape a bank run on a failing bank. Jardine's had a faster steamer and emptied their accounts hours before anyone else got the news.

    From 1997:

    http://www.tsquare.tv/film/Guardian01.html

    > a host of mainland and Hong Kong dignitaries attended a gala premiere of The Opium War, a Ben Hur-style epic heartily endorsed by the Chinese Communist Party.

    [ . . . ]

    > Chris Patten, Britain's 28th and last colonial governor, and elected politicians critical of Beijing, were not invited.

    > The taipan of Jardine, the trading conglomerate whose founder established what is today Hong Kong's biggest private employer on the back of drug trafficking, was absent too. But Jardine's great rival, Swire, secured a seat at the Hong Kong Convention Centre.

    > "We had nothing to do with opium. So I can come here with a clear conscience," said David Gledhill, a former director of Swire. "It is those rascally Dents and Jardines who did that."

    TIL that Swire apparently was never involved in the Opium trade. They say so themselves, China seems to confirm that narrative, and most importantly of all, Swire appeared in Hong Kong three decades after the Opium Wars.

    It seems the rivalry between houses Struan and Brock in Tai-Pan and Noble House can't be about Jardine's and Swire, as I have until now assumed.

    Irregular reminder: I don't post much here. This account is just a liaison account, to get another view of the Fediverse, and occasionally help cajole a wayward post into libranet.de that couldn't find its way in there by itself.

    My main is over at @clacke .
