I hate to say this, and I don't wish death on people, but lockdown was good for the planet. To be brutally honest, if a rogue CIA wanted to slow down CO2 emissions, that sort of virus was a good fit. I really wish humans would organize

I love C++, but compile time prevent me from enjoying it. I would gladly use a new version of C++ that breaks compatibility but solve this problem. This is the largest barrier for C++ right now.

I'm tired of capitalism. The less it's regulated, the more it opens the road to planned economy or tightly managed socialism. I'm glad I live in Europe. At least I can just retreat from this system with welfare and still eat

This is exactly why I want to live in a rural area again, in a city of less than 50k people. Once you hit 75k people or beyond, heat accumulate OVER DAYS AND NIGHTS, so you end up with "tropical nights" where temperatures do not b

Because trees need time to grow and take roots. It's possible to plant big trees but it requires heavy machinery as root are large. Usually there is not room in the soil (pipes etc), and asphalt/concrete prevent a tree to get wate

Wow. I already thought about cities needing to organize "cool shelters", but it might become a requirement. It seems there are no viable statistics for those kinds of death. I live on the hottest part of France and I already plann

Shouldn't moderators remove this? This is not /r/upliftingnews or /r/futurology. I know I'm being grumpy and highly skeptical, and that Y combinator is about innovation, but why not make a hackernews to compart

Maybe it could move to "banned by default" for anything that is sold to the public, and authorized for very very narrow and particular applications that have little risk to contact the environment, although it's hard to study

That sort of explains why I started going to irc to ask. But yes, interacting with pedantic or toxic people often makes things difficult, and I even met toxic people on IRC. Of course it's my job to do my research before I ask since I&

Overpass is not just "mining OSM data", overpass is quite an extremely efficient language and system plugged to a GIS database, that can be used to find a lot of things. Those things could be used by robbers or any other kind of p

Well, this was the easy version, since there were a lot of clues. I really think those tools should be banned, they're such an immense security problem. I know those can be useful, and I understand that information should be free, but

Logging chat is really really expensive in terms of hardware and CPU. I don't really understand why people would need to log chat, it doesn't really make sense to me. Chat is meant to be ephemeral, short lived, and not leave trace

I'm going to say it again: ai is the next crypto. Any good ai scientist knows that research on ai is not sufficient and spent yield interesting results, so probably very little to no innovation will come out. Meanwhile, the climate is

This is a business model problem, not a technical problem. Software can keep running without being actively maintained. What are you talking about? What a strange devil's advocate.

No surprise that it's not already implemented because we just throw more cheap hosting and bandwidth at this problem until it's fixed. The "premature optimization is the root of all evil" misquote really caused a lot of
