I think the point of oil is more that it's portable than that it's great for burning in power plants, we already have renewables, coal and gas and only burn oil to fill any remaining deficit. Electric cars will kill oil more than

So you're saying that he stated some science, which you're not disputing, and then made an argument from those grounds that moved from science into politics, and you don't agree with the argument he made. That's not anti

More scientists have written in defense than opposition, and even the most hardened opposition concedes the validity of some of his sources.

It isn't the hill that engineers choose to fight their battle though, is it. The fact that this is the first time such a memo has been written vs the numbers of the internal Google poll demonstrate pretty well that there is a lot of si

OK then, but who draws the lines on what's extremism? Do you have to want to overthrow the government? What about just heavily reform it? What lines on immigration policy would put you under prosecution, Total ban? Muslim Ban? Point sy

I don't think that you can actually call increasing property prices a negative externality. It's a natural consequence of making that tourism more efficient. It's like someone invented a way to turn fruit into gold and you&#x

I'm not sure there's great evidence that zoning actually has positive outcomes, I remember reading long articles on how places with less zoning can often turn out better. American zoning has entrenched cars and made sterile neighb

Well I'm in your situation, and I disagree. Under the current socioeconomic system and pricing I'll likely never afford to own where I live, but things which make house pricing more efficient aren't the enemy. I'd kill s

I don't really like SQL either, it's hard to generate and doesn't support any abstractions, it might be an OK target format for some amazing query generator.

For me, I'd like online IDEs to be standard (and therefore equally good) and graph wikipedias for arguments (like Argumans but mainstream). I can see the advantages of both of these and imagine (and have seen people) build them so I as

I was really not sold by GraphQL, I'm totally down to not use REST as I think that's daft but GraphQL seems to be less powerful than SQL and only really useful if the thing you're querying really is a graph, and not lots of r

There's already Atom In Space but it's not complete I don't think. Not sure how hard/reliable it would be to run.

I had a similar experience, trying to learn clj/cljs before I know java, javascript or the web stack. I am a classic arrogant developer (I'll learn it all at once as I go) but in retrospect it was honestly a mistake. If I'd l

Except code and science are completely different and in the context of the reasons why you'd want to force publishing, there's almost no link. Coders aren't trying to prove truths about the world (generally), there is no logi

I've seen this, it wasn't super impressive, just a pretty sculpture with classical music playing and no recognisable connection between the music or sculpture and the bees when you're actually there. Kew Gardens is beautiful

For me, the best way to absorb knowledge is text. Video makes it much harder to skip parts (you can jump forwards but you can't quickly skim to make sure you have a vague idea what you're skipping. You can speed up and slow down v

I haven't read that many coding textbooks not specific to a language but the Joy of Clojure probably slapped me with the most ideas I'd never seen before. Not sure it made me a better developer in the short run, but I'd like

Another problem with this is that it stigmatises (and in the long term will prevent) those with no wealth and a high income. I think it's madness but a more fair trade would at least be to also publish everyone's existing wealth.

The entertainment industry is one of the worst possible places to look to try and define "same work". You can easily have two people sat next to eachother where the audience wouldn't care if one was replaced but would leave i

Which parts are you referring to as magic, the models? I use DRF and find the way it deals with defaults quite nice, your can use a model and it will generate fields or not, and specify or generate them yourself.

Different guy but I use tree tab which cures it because they naturally organise by topic and you canjust slam then into a nested bookmark folder or close en mass. I still end up with a lot but they're easier to browse and persist so it

Thanks for your response and that does seem like a nice compromise, but it's still not perfect to me. If the choice is <untyped>|<haskell>, it's better than just <haskell> but I'd love some <gradually typ

I was excited when I saw this too but it's pretty limited, from memory you can't do methods, functions have to be globally defined, that are more limitations that make it hard to use in any general way I think. Edit: no closures,
