The guy was working 80 hour weeks, and got fired overnight by having a Youtube channel on tech and tech interview tips. It's amazing how these companies think they can literally buy you and own you, like a slave. Not only they expect y

The Angular CLI has support for both code splitting and live reload out of the box. ng build creates the main bundle plus the lazy-loaded bundles, and ng serve spins up a development server with live reload ready to go. The Angular CLI also

Nothing like that has happened in the Angular ecosystem, the API is stable for 3 years, and a pleasure to work with. I think this obsession with functions and the functional paradigm is counterproductive in the React ecosystem. Sometimes, t

Exactly, many times these famous authors advocate for practices that make sense for building compilers and frameworks or libraries, but that make little sense for building applications. Building applications is very different, because an ap

The thing is, we don't need to learn Bazel either. We will just keep running the command "ng build", and internally the CLI will be using Bazel instead of Webpack, but that is transparent for us users. We only see the CLI com

I think today the Javascript ecosystem looks much better than 3 years ago, at the peak of Javascript fatigue. What we had actually was tooling fatigue, and not language features fatigue. Today, with CLI tools like the Angular CLI, we have a

Norway provides 1 billion, the soy market alone is 27 billion, not much of an incentive. A lot more countries would have to provide a lot more money for this to work.

I'm not excusing Brasil (I don't come from there), my main point was that it's just not Brasil's "fault" for not taking care of the forest, a lot of countries have a ton of responsibility: China and the west fo

It's a complex issue, Brasil is doing what the US and Europe did 150 years ago: burning down the forest and taking advantage of natural resources until a large percentage of the country is covered by agricultural fields. We did so why

You know well that there are a lot more crops other than soy being planted, it's obviously much more complicated than that. Do you have any doubt that a lot of the products produced directly or indirectly as a result of the deforestati

Is that even actually possible, carbon-neutral beef? I mean the deforestation implied for producing the crops that yield cattle feed, plus the methane emissions produced by the animal during it's lifetime, not to mention the water cons
227.
by vfc1 7y ago
I'm saying that global demand for cheap meat (lead by both China and the west) is the actual cause for the ongoing deforestation, as the forest is being cleared to produce cattle feed. And this is something hardly mentioned in the news
228.
by vfc1 7y ago
One thing's for sure, the forest is being taken down to produce cattle feed, with the final goal to produce cheap meat. The biggest consumers are the West and China, so following the money I think those are the main responsible because

Answered above in another comment, AFIK the Amazon is being torn down mostly for cattle feed crops, soy and others. A lot of the soy is exported all over the world, to china due to the trade wars with the US, to western countries which need

by vfc1 7y ago
The main responsibility of the Amazon fires lies in the west. The Amazon is on fire in order for Brasil to be able to provide cheap meat for western countries. This comes under two main forms, one is to make room for soy crops, used mostly

It's hard to believe that. The cancer rates in wildlife have been increasing for a reason, and it can only be explained by pollution in general (not micro-plastics in particular). The problem is not the microplastics themselves, but th

Two things can be true, the rainforest cutdown needs to be quickly stopped with urgent measures, AND countries like the US and the West in general need to change their meat consumption behavior. It's not one or the other, both are need

Two things can be true at the same time. Clearly, both countries should change their behavior. I think what is happening in Basil is mostly due to the West fault, due to demand for cheap meat. The Amazonian forest is mostly being tore down
