Some context on my personal path followed by my considerations: I've been trying to keep a professional career with parallel academic activities. I.e., I did my masters and Doctorate while working. For both my dissertation and thesis I

I think there are a thousand nails and you hit one of the most outstanding ones in the head. GDP is as much a metric of wealth as it is of the speed with which we consume natural resources. If we account for externalities witha reasonable &

You'll excuse me when I say you sound like you have zero experience at reputable levels of academic "humanities". Humanities are not exact sciences for a single reason - they comprise too many variables for a primate brain to

I foresee maintainers automating the process of flagging _every_ pull request as spam for the event window, and communicating that decision to the actual community beforehand.

May I strongly suggest an alternative that just might scratch that itch? Try the Through the Ages game app in your Android (possibly Apple?) device. Matches last one hour with single player (or knowleadgeable multiplayers) and you still get

This is heavy. On the one hand I can hardly disagree with most of the points in the article. On the other, I'd like to have a more positive outlook in life than "corporatism is eating our souls". I might not have a glimpse of

I've said this time and time again: 'be your own bank' is a terrible design error, not a feature, for 99.99% of users. This guy is most likely somewhat technically literate, and this happened to him.
