We can cut emissions hugely by eliminating plastic crap, building technology and tools to last, living in vibrant medium density neighbourhoods with public transit and bicycles for all, building renewable energy sources, and eliminating meat.

I wake up in the morning, ride my bike to a job where I fix old technology and make a difference, then pick up groceries from local and sustainable businesses, get some exercise and sun in on my bike, and make a delicious vegan meal like roast potatoes. I’m happier, more active, healthier, and I feel like my life makes a difference. You, meanwhile, get to ride around in your metal box having to maintain constant focus or you could kill someone, getting no exercise, and presumably eating meat that hurts animals, wastes carbon, and kills you faster. Of course you need a vacation on a plane to make you happy; your life is miserable.

I wish I was as lucky as you

The Israeli government sure doesn’t. They know 100% that oppression leads to terrorism. They knew their actions would create Hamas, and they know that giving Palestinians equal rights would end the terrorist cause in an instant. When they say they condemn Hamas, they’re lying. They love Hamas.

Where’s the article? I can only see a headline and a picture

Population growth is not a cause of climate change worth paying attention to. Most of those extra two billion were born in poor countries, especially in Africa. These countries have a fraction of the per capita emissions of wealthy countries like America that are currently seeing or soon to see population decline. When we’re having a conversation about how to control total emissions, it’s orders of magnitude more efficient to focus on per capita emissions than on population. For one, we can reduce per capita emissions without getting into ethical issues regarding population control or economic issues like those caused by the one child policy in China.

IMO most “flashy” frameworks betray the principle of high cohesion. Importing a time library to handle timezones is a great idea. Importing a math library to calculate derivatives is common sense for good reason. But huge frameworks that change the entire way a language is written are ridiculous. I’m looking at you, Vue and Tailwind. I usually see these sorts of frameworks used by people who aren’t qualified programmers and who don’t know software architectures or best practices. In other words, the kinds of people who get promoted to management positions and tell us what frameworks to use.

(Typescript is awesome though)

It means giving a bare minimum of effort. Like when there’s an important meeting at work and you attend on the phone so you don’t have to get dressed or go anywhere. The term came about back when phones were low quality but still convenient, so phoning it in was easy, but frustrating to everyone else.

Or we teach all people to distrust authority and to remove bad leaders

You dick, stop reposting Ahdok’s memes

Stamets is stealing memes from Ahdok now? What a bastard

Animals are a social construct

This is why the infant mortality rate isn’t 100%

No, I’m not implying that, because that’s ridiculous.

Ah yes, the anti weird test. That’s how you get all of the autistic people and POCs out of the recruitment pool.

I think all three of the people replying to you are wrong. They all think you’re having trouble finding a project you want to work on. But I think you’re saying you struggle to understand how the logic of a program fits together into accomplishing anything.

I think you should follow one of these lessons to produce some example code, and then use the debugger to watch it function line by line.

Primary and secondary school math is mostly arithmetic and memorisation. It’s not until late high school and university when you get to do real math, which is a study of logic and proofs. If you were horrible at math in school, you might still have the makings of a great mathematician.

Nah, makes sense. I’ve got autism and I’m horrible at listening. If someone mumbles, or there’s background noise, or they’re far away, I have less ability to compensate than an NT. I have more difficulty holding a conversation in a club than anyone I’ve spoken to in a club.

Wow, thugs these days feed the poor? We have awesome thugs, go thugs!
