Humans as a necessary evil to make a small Noah's ark of some of what's on earth_ That's a very positive view, thanks for sharing.

How much of that would be due to the fact that we increased productivity on essential goods which inevitably benefitted everyone to some extent? It may be very different when a large portion of the jobs being destroyed are mostly useless to

Yes, but at our current scale? At first glance it really seems that our simple economical metrics are a good way to have billions of humans living largely peacefully together – while ruining their environment of course.

Just add tracks, weld the cars together, remove the driving seats, replace the fancy NNs by vintage fuzzy logic and you're there!

I'd definitely consider myself as "quite slow" but I usually come up with significantly better solutions than the "quite fast" people. I found that remote working and communicating mostly by text really made the gam

Thanks for the detailed answer :) I am still very unable to ignore the things I can't control which is likely my main problem. I think the small house soon to be off grid part may be a very good way to take a step back... It's way

Yes, abstracting away that if people can conveniently park and use their car, they will use it for absolutely everything. That's why France is also champion of surburbia in Europe... We're are ruining our landscapes and cities wit

Petrol is renewable, just not at our scale. I'm not sure where all the materials we left on the surface will be in a couple million years however.

Once you've established that and, luckily, don't fall into the camp of the ones who don't give a damn and just profit. How do you cope? It's a very depressing thought that puts in perspective absolutely everything, inclu

Isn't it part of the question of whether life existed on Mars? If it did and got wiped out, it would mean that something else doesn't always flourish.

I wouldn't be so sure for Python. It's getting cluttered by the new additions, but what it's very good at is making very concise programs that, while brittle, can achieve a lot. Rust is mostly the opposite of that... I'v

I was enthusiastic about the name and it looks neat, but it doesn't seem like it's made to compete with SQLite for use cases on the "edge" of the network.

Don't misquote me... You can leave value behind, specially in technical fields, without drawing in office politics and corporate play.

In my experience, Lisbon really is the worst case scenario of gentrification and tourism gone absolutely wrong. A fair amount of Portuguese are profiting from it, but I can imagine how much of a burden it is for the ones who don't.

Other have asked, but I'd also be very interested in knowing more if you can share more details. I had to spent a non trivial amount of time convincing others to use SQLite instead of dumb files in similar situations, stories like you
