Engineering can indeed be useful to increase re- and upcycling in the future. But given that recycling rate is at the moment for most materials miniscule, and our economic system can only work with global exponential growth, it alone can&#x

Indeed this is not an engineering problem. The most frustrating part of this all is that we are still mostly only talking about climate change, when our ecological disaster is that we have simultaneously crossed or are soon crossing most pl

With naming what IMO matters more than choosing one name, is choosing a name that is consistent with other similar names in the codebase. A new developer will learn your project's specific convention in a few minutes, but will be comp

Hmm, I don't interpret that to be a statement about the growth of the user base or revenue, but about not adding new features to the product?

Clearly a VC-funded startup is worse than a bootstrapped one, but IMO whether or not a company is a startup or not comes down to if they want exponential growth or not. It doesn't say that they do on the website but I nowadays assume t

Being open source does not mean they aren't commercial. IMO using a .org as their only domain is flat out misleading: the honest way is to have only the source code and community in the .org and the commercial offering in a .com.

Company information can in fact be found on the website, but I hate it that they use a .org website when they're clearly just yet another startup.

Pg looking at the top 100 people and giving his essay the heading "How People Get Rich Now", makes for a very distorted definition of "rich". How many hundreds of millions or billions does it take to be rich in his eyes?

Personally pushing the edit, compile, run cycle time as low as possible has always been the reason I have stayed away from dev VMs. For 99% of computer uses a VM is fast enough but unfortunately for many programming tasks, it is not.

This exactly is the much more important second point Hickel is making. Even if growing GDP does mean tiny scraps of wealth are left to lower the number of the extremely poor[1], it's nowhere near resource efficient enough to be feasibl

I understand that academics are just humans, and can lose their temper like the rest of us. However what I find very troubling is that the main point that Hickel raised in the blog post[1] – GDP data has the particular potentially crucial

If you look at the below thread by Hickel, Roser is very uncivil (for an academic), childish and misdirecting. He also does not answer Allen's criticism. Hickel on the other hand remains very composed and courteous. Roser also keeps co
