That's a great point, of course. More technology typically requires more energy, which doesn't just appear out of nowhere. Although newer technology tends to require less energy per unit of work/computation, in aggregate the

Great work! I really like the idea. It would be neat if you could make it so that during work hours, all tabs you open are self destructing tabs. I suppose a whitelist for sites like Stack Overflow would be needed to prevent tabs from sel

Looks like a fun project! How do you like working with Django? I used it for a small project earlier this year and was impressed with how quickly I was able to get it up and running. I've used Rails for years, but I found that the vari

I agree that it would be difficult for such a system to exist in a society of atomized individuals. Do you think there's also an upper bound on group size? It seems like the larger a country is, the harder it becomes to find consensus

Thanks for the insight! It sounds like I'll have to give Aurelia a try.

Good point. We've been through periods before where most of the jobs in a sector were replaced by automation, and overall we've been able to adapt and prosper. It's not just robots. It's been 6+ months since I've us

Maybe just the decline of capitalism as we know it? As others have pointed out, if people are still making things and providing services, and there are markets in which people exchanges those goods and services, that's still capitalism

I think you assessment of the article is fair. It's not the best piece I've read on this topic, but I found it interesting enough to share on HN. Do you think it's possible we'll get to the point where technology makes l

Do you think that technology has the potential to take the power away from politicians and companies and put it back in the hands of the people? I'm by no means a technological utopian. But it would be nice if we could develop to the p

As a developer who writes software that does work that replaces the work of people, I've often wondered if my work is somehow pushing us toward the end of capitalism. I've also wondered what that end of capitalism and post capital

Nice work, Mike. How do you like working in Aurelia? I've been doing a lot of work in React, and while I like it a lot, there's a lot of churn in the ecosystem, and I sometimes get a bit worn down by having to cobble applications

There are such programs, but their effectiveness and avilability varies widely depending on where you live. Where I live, we have Second Career Ontario[1]. When I was in college, several of my classmates were formerly highly paid tradespeop

The downside is that most of the stalls are serving dishes that depend on dishes from other stalls. So when the maker of 'left-pad-thai' tears down his stall without warning, everybody at the market starves for a while.

Well, if you ask some of my more hardcore conservative relatives, they'll say the CBC is so slanted to the left that it should have all of its funding revoked. Personally, I've voted Conservative, Liberal, and NDP in various elect

Makes sense. I suppose you could also execute "REPLACE FUNCTION" and redefine the inside a new migration each time you want to change it. The downside is that you end up with the whole function in new a migration every time you wa

The correct answer might be both . There's a really nice ASP.NET Core SPA Service plugin[1]. Basically, it handles integration between ASP.NET Core and Node/Webpack/React or Angular 2 so that when you run your application fr

It's worth noting that the developer who split from the Angular team to create Aurelia was also the developer of Durandal, which is quite a nice (and underrated) framework. Aurelia is a sort of the spiritual successor to Durandal.

To be fair, I think VB.NET got async and await at the same time C# did. Lambdas, too.
