Static languages are good for beginners. Like training wheels for programmers.

If only there was some project that was a go webserver with a client that was like some sort of python/javascript hybrid…

Havent you heard? If you want www devs to use it you have to graft on some hideous typesystem along with jsx. Would be hilarious if someone read this and thought “you know I should add static types to python”

Management is about running meetings and making accurate schedules. Do you run some right now?

Im sure it wont be like a biblical plague, but the IPCC report that came out moments ago reiterated the 20 year to 1.5 C+ timeline. What matters is if a crop failure hits a nation with few friends and lots of nukes.

Thinking about this more… This depends on electric flight. You cant stop the refineries with uavs powered by their targets product. It may be that electric flight is the cornerstone to emission prevention.

What about high resolution satellite pollution maps and airstrikes? If the combustion engines or the refineries are not destroyed, they will be used. We could start slowly with only the dirtiest targets. Doing this now is less aggressive th

If that dude can program a UAV to be the responsible party I think that means he also created AI.

Yes, very excited to become a Chinese communist vassal state and follow the north korean model.

I mean once the boston dynamics stuff gets good enough… it will. To be frank, I want my Jetsons robot maid.

You missed the most important one. India. But yea I don’t see Oceania uniting anytime soon. What’s going to happen with the demographics in China?

Cool. It seems like a big step to go from that to where the game engine is a part of the www itself. I guess the point is that wont happen? The browser just becomes a way to download unreal/unity/… clients written in C++.

Great point. I think it depends on if the new execs view themselves as “creators” or “fixers”. Fixers can thrive in this situation.

I like the bit about building the best performing team at the expense of the individual. Seems like something you could say to let down a report in a 1 on 1. Im going to use that from now on, whenever it serves my purpose. Thanks!

Activision didn’t ruin Blizzard. Blizzard ruined themselves by giving up control of their destiny to another. Such things affect the way you think, to be not independent.

There is a wide spectrum between sending 3d models to web pages and The Matrix. There are 2 things going on here: 1) making gpu more accessible to the www 2) the headsets/glasses hardware. Everyone seems caught up on 2 when I think the

I mean all the farmable land will be up there in a few decades. Seems like a good investment.

Antiphilosophy works pretty well for the physicists.

Doubtful its for the same reasons as the original though. Maybe alcohol companies are seeing revenue decline? And just in case you were wondering the original reefer madness was about racism.

Sometimes I think the only reason platitudes like “bring your whole self to work” exist is just to weed out ppl who are dumb enough to fall for it. Never break the act if you wanna stay on top it seems.

It seems trivializing and like an existential crisis to have all of a humans being encoded in a computer. Once you have that, why even keep it running for all time as it is? Its just a version of software you could make changes to. We are p

I think there is one more step change theoretically possible in terms of energy output which is based on anti-quark collisions. We need to understand QCD better. Its hard to know when breakthroughs will happen. Maybe its already happened an

I feel like you linked me to something that proved my point. This seems like politics without evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. How much time has been spent moderating around this? Was it worth it? Anyways i hope rick and morty s

Nothing is scarce in space. There is limitless energy in the atom’s nucleus. We just dont have an effective power plant yet.

Who exactly is characterizing the workers with great ideas as rebellious, here? The real story is always parasitic toxic management. An idea’s existence is enough to threaten power structures.

When I built mazes for gene knockout mice, we did it for addiction/pain research. The mazes themselves are really cool. You get to program all these little doors and sequences. Come for the research, stay for the fun.

Imagine growing up in Germany and having your history be whitewashed so you barely know the atrocities your society committed... oh wait! I’m from California! We had our own genocide of the Natives that was sanctioned by the gold rush gover

Its not about mars. Its about the spaceships that get us there. The best thing for humanity is to live in spaceships. More important than mars will be a space shipyard in space that has a renewable environment with vertical farms inside it
