In the last decade I’ve gone from buying almost everything from Amazon to going out of my way to not order anything at all from them.

I do have children. Children with their own wills and drives, that don't all originates from us. They aren't in any way unique in that way. So you don't know anything about Greta, and has instead this made up story of her tha

This is what I meant with that you know nothing about her. Her parents didn't push her into the media spotlight. I'm certain some Youtube channel has told you otherwise, but the facts are that she herself was the driving force beh

You know clearly absolutely nothing about Greta Thunberg.

The majority can only afford healthcare while they are healthy. Being insured doesn’t protect you from bankruptcy when you get sick.

I always set an alarm for 25 minutes. If I sleep longer I’m going to be groggy for the rest of the day.

I think we are damaged by school. The teacher was always there to make sure we followed instructions correctly, rarely to provider guidance for our benefit.

I don't think your caches would help very much if all media were sent uncompressed. Everything is already compressed, so you might not think about it much, but I'd say that it is at least as important as caching.

Reddit is many small communities, but all in one convenient place.

And the loyalty to the platform itself low. There are other ones, and Reddit should remember the great Digg Exodus.

Some manages to migrate or adapt. Many won’t. Either because there’s nowhere to migrate to, or because there’s no path there available. In the end, we will lose a lot of biodiversity.

Certainly. What I was trying to say was that the notion of terraforming Mars as an escape when we screwed up here is absurd.

The time scale for new species adapted to a completely new climate is many millions of years, not a few thousands. What we destroy today won’t be replaced while humans as a species as we know it today even exists. It will always be many ord

I kind of agree with your general point. I just wish the default was something a bit less painful.

It is becoming mainstream. Not by pure functional languages taking over, but by developers adopting a functional style and by better and better support for functional programming in mainstream languages.

by Ma8ee 4y ago
Functional doesn’t like state . That’s the whole point. Functions that can be run in isolation with well defined input is much easier to debug.

It was a long time since the discussion was coal version nuclear. Today it is sun and wind and different storage solutions versus nuclear. Nuclear is losing due to slow building times and being too expensive. The nuclear industry is unhappy

I’ve had a bicycle as my main mode of transportation for years in a 1M people city.

Why do you think so?

They always increase the price after a year, and I go through the cancelling forms in their website until they offer me the lower price again. I guess that they know how little I actually use the subscription, so it’s no point in trying to

They have made it easier. It used to be that you had to call, but now you can do it on the web.

The moment you want to lend a friend a copy they are more expensive.

I pay something like €5 to The Guardian and $2 to NYT (which I read very occasionally) every months. And then another €15 to a Swedish newspaper. That is very cheap to support independent journalism.

It's not that hard to filter content by source. Reputable news sources and authors will not publish AI-generated content (without grave risks to their reputation). And most of the abundant background noise have never provided much valu

The problem is that the historical context of a decision often becomes a defence of the status quo, even when most people understand it is bad.

No, the opposite. People who care use swear words. Corporations neither care or allow swear words.

Yes, projects were the contributors care about their projects. Corporations rarely allow swear words in their code bases.
