absent productivity increases, population growth is just there to maintain the welfare state for retirees, it's a perpetuum mobile. apart from that, i dont even know what the benefits of a growing population would be. switzerland is tr

i put off children because it takes longer to establish a foothold. not because i loved to travel or eat out necessarily, or felt i needed to prioritize hedonistic activities over building a family. but, during that time of getting my degre

the AI companies make way way too much revenue to be f*cked, and people are hooked and they have not tested limits of their pricing power yet.

i feel like starlink could be huge, why not the default internet connection for everybody. similar to how people abandoned landlines for cell phones.

Anecdotally it's true imho. accrual of benefits, sbc and wage-indexing, ... job hopping puts you at the ground floor of each, and salary jumps have narrowed.

that seems like a reductive truth in the other direction, i'd even say it's largely false. the wealth explosion in the high middle ages and significant rise in standard of living was fully accompanied by (and maybe precisely becau

i agree it's overestimated, and it's not "as bad" as many believe it to be. but it is worse. i get the lightbulb stolen from my garage light every month. that sort of petty crime is non-existent when you live in a nice s

i live in the midwest and the core of the city is dirt cheap. people don't want to live here because of the crime and vagrancy. it's a foul atmosphere. i do live here with my children, and it's just because we grew up in simi

named arguments are hacking object literals to provide additional readability. it's ok, but not for all code paths, they have a true overhead. problem is that these things start to become idee fixes in teams (all funcs should have name

the default parsers all load the entire thing in mem, which is not good. so you need a stream-based parser, which nobody does an effort to write/use for json. especially since geojson is a web format, and people just default to json.pa

i find it saddening to read things like this, it could have been written in the 20s, the 50s. there are no bulwarks, the world is more bland every day, and each time another rationalization on the way down. yet again another author fishing

you dont need to have a conversation with your plumber. be polite, say something inane about the weather, listen to their advice on plumbing, that's it. no tradesperson is aching to have a conversation with the resident nuclear physici

nice first-principal analysis, but little connection to material reality, you're looking back at a mere 1-2 years. it is outsourcing dev labor that has killed the domestic market. engineering roles have been moving overseas now (latin
