  • It's not nitpicking, stuff like this is far more impactful than choosing between 5 lines vs 10 lines long methods, or whether the hasExtraCommissions "if" belongs inside or outside of calculateExtraCommissions. This kind of thing should immediately jump out at you as a red flag when you're reading code, it's not something to handwave away as a detail.

  • Why is it a void method? This only tells me that some state is mutated somewhere, but the effect is neither visible nor documented.

    I would expect a function called "calculate" to just return a number and not have any side effects.

  • So where do all the renters come from?

    https://www.yicaiglobal.com/news/a-quarter-of-china-city-dwellers-rent-survey-shows - same website that your wikipedia link lists as source

    But none of that is relevant to the article of this post. That article talks about money to complete unfinished projects. It's in the very first paragraph. There are people who took out loans to buy pre-construction apartments with plans to live there, who are now in trouble.

  • I can't believe I have to explain this. Anyway

    The comparison to Alex Jones and other conspiracy nutjobs was about how they don't care about any facts or context, and just like to string together random headlines into some doomsday narrative that supports their view.

    The phrase "tankie infowars" means basically that - same methods, just different target audience. So you would switch around who the good guys and bad guys are, but not much else.

  • You don't think coming to the conclusion "omg, this must be nuclear war preparations", instead of this just being a regular target, is conspiracy level thinking?

    It would fit right into Alex Jones's show. And it's the most upvoted comment here.

  • There used to be a "loophole", where if you changed to a different plan, it restarted the 7 day period during which you could cancel with no fee. Not sure if they ever changed that though.
