Why? Because the devastation would be unimaginable by preindustrial standards? I don't want it to happen either, but that's not a valid reason why it couldn't happen.

This is only true today because infrastructure is made ridiculously expensive by the same overlord-leaches that benefit from artificial scarcity of real-estate of those overpopulated cities which enslaves people and is driving the birthrate

How does this work with people having a single child? This might have been feasible in the past, with multiple children, but now, the woman becomes part of her husband's family or vice versa so(but I presume the former, since having a

Has the concentration of population in cities helped us in the past when things gotten quite rough?

You can only cheer if you know you can actually stop the population decline before it leads to a catastrophic disruption of the world wide civilization, right? Who and when will do it? Are we willing to take away women's rights if its

The reason humans have babies is sex is pleasurable and no birth control was available. Nobody cared 50% of children died before turning 5, nor that they got shit education, nor that women were oppressed. Our expectations and sensibilities

So the great news is as we become richer and richer, the economic incentive not to have children will be so great that we die out as a species? "Feminism" is many things to many people. To me it is like the abolition of slavery, m

Right, so actually a country with a population of 1 individual would benefit the most? Who knew that the technology game will be won by some loonie that declares his basement a sovereign country?

The environment will need us to solve the mess we created. No way a declining population would be able to, we need at least a stable population. The real crisis is the zombie crisis -- zombie empires and zombie societies that lost all tou

It depends on WHY the population is declining, isn't it? If it turns out it is the modern way of life/thinking, then that modern way of life/thinking is doomed, isn't it?

Occam's razor aside, why can't both theories be correct? That dark matter exists as well as a modified gravity thing.

>I warn you though, this is a controversial subject because of some of its possible implications. This is a really sad state of science we are living through.

There can be overlap and comorbidity too. As part of my BPD the psychiatrist gave me an ADHD test, 25% of people with BPD also have ADHD.

This rings so close to home for me too. I'm 36, I extremely rarely feel any envy(and when I feel it is about someone not "deserving" something because of something in that person) and I am very loose with my money. Because

Is that what stoics really taught or a modern misrepresentation, like "cynic"?

Just my own tin-foil observation: the prices of components in much demand tens to remain much higher than the original anounced price for years. Scalpers cannot account for that. Surely Nvidia is actually chatging premium prices as well

Isn't HIV a special case though? The reason we don't have an HIV vaccine is because HIV embedds itself in the DNA of some cells and some of those cells don't start producing virions right away, the immune system can't de

I don't think mRNA spreads from cell to cell, the mRNA enters a limited number of cells and those cells start producing certain proteins the mRNA tells them to.

1. I guess for smaller batches it is easier to develop the mRNA. Otherwise, we would have monoclonal antibodies and not a vaccine(the vaccine has other benefits, it trains the T-cells and the B cells remain dormant even after no abtibodies

RPITX is very poor at AM (3 power levels), but it is still awesome. Digging obscure forums I found it could do LSB and USB, which was an interesting find even for the creator. If you like cheap hack sdrs, you might also want to check https

I don't know why leaving a class package protected is such an eyebrow raising thing. Even code analysis tools flag it with a warning. Most classes shoud not be accessible outside their package. That would raise some questions with

Not really -- the IDE overview means it doesn't really matter if the codebase is 1X or 2X or 3X the amount of lines. Then, I just think, excluding some horrendous language and some corner cases, experienced programmers are limited by

Why can't the brain do the clensing while we are awake?

I keep hearing functional, functional, but all(not that much) the functional code I've seen is no better than your average @Service calling anothrt @Service calling anothrt @Service. Yeah, it looks a little better with less parenthe

When you have multiple teams pushing changes and a limited mumber or DB licenses and you want your CI pipeline to run faster, mocks are a very good compromise. DB bugs rarely happen if you don't change any DB stuff after a couple of
627.
by raducu 6y ago
Some things can be mocked quite successfuly -- like ORM stuff. You can also write an integration test for the mocked component, let the rest of the code blaze away with the mocked version, it is usually a very good compromise.

When you work with huge codebases, 80% of the time is spent reading/navigating code. The IDE hides the boilerplate, I really don't mind it.

by raducu 6y ago
Its not theat IDEs force you to generate code, its that IDEs are quick to hide code. I almost never read java files from start to finish, I just quickly navigate by methods/call hierarchy, in some side view, so its really easy for f

Java is quite good in its niche. Java is not a language where you quickly slap some duck tape code. Java is not a language where you use your minimalistic VIM-like editor, it is a great language for quick navigation, great search and ma
