Amsterdam homeless can receive credit card donations [translated]
For me, it would need to not be rural or a suburb to provide what I desire out of life. I want to be near things. There is a life to urban communities that does not exist in rural or suburban places (and I grew up in both) that I don't think I would want to live without. Being in places where it's a half-mile walk to things I want to do is an unmitigated good for me and there is nothing a suburb or rural area can do to replace that.

Remote work from home, where you are ensconced in your isolation box, is gross, too; as a consultant, I have a home office and I spend most of my time out of it.

(Mind, I have considered buying something in a rural area--but that's effectively a retreat, not a home. Homes are a by-and-large a pipe dream for people who are under 30 right now unless they want crushing commutes or nothingvilles.)
I had asked a question[0] regarding books a few months ago which ended up in the following list[1].
From those so far I have read the following:

- Elon Musk: Inventing the Future - Ashlee Vance
Totally worth to get insight into the Elon. Kinda changes the superhero/good guy image everyone has but you end up with more respect for him whatsoever.

- Thinking fast and slow - Daniel Kahneman
Awesome book presenting modern psychology. You'll get insight into how humans work.

- Rework - Jason Fried, David Heinemeier Hansson
Nice, albeit small book regarding how the creators of rails manage their company. So very nice insight.

- The Hard Thing About Hard Things: Building a Business When There Are No Easy Answers - Ben Horowitz
I started reading this but it was too business centric for me so I stopped, however if you're a business owner it might be worth it.

- Vagabonding: An Uncommon Guide to the Art of Long-Term World Travel - Rolf Potts
This is a nice/into book if you're interested into digital nomading, long term travel in general.

- The Black Swan - Nassim Nicholas Taleb
This in my opinion is a superb book if you are interested in statistics/philosophy. He presents the chaotic structure of our world and why extreme events are more common than we think.Definitely suggested.

- The art of Learning - Josh Waitzkin
This is a book that presents the Author's (Chess and Tai Chi Chuan World champion) way of learning. Has some pretty useful insight.

You also had Mayor Ford not long ago, though. It's just that you still have a critical mass of first-generation immigrants from poor countries; as soon as that declines naturally (because of density ceilings), you will see more and more of the problems you see in Australia and US cropping up. Don't rest on your laurels, you are a young country.
With Bootstrap you can just pick the parts you need (so there is no practical 'overhead'), and most sites will at the very least need a responsive grid, and Bootstrap's (3's at least) is excellent. I don't know why you wouldn't want to use it, or something very similar from another framework.

Even with flexbox you'd still need to reimplement the 'different column behaviours at various breakpoints', which is non-trivial.

Also there's the whole other-devs-understanding-your-code scenario 'oh this is Bootstrap, I know this'. It gives you conventions BEYOND just what raw CSS gives you, e.g. the Sass variables it exposes.
Hello, I write the doc myself for the most part, since I believe the docs should be only written by persons that wrote the code they are documenting, or that fully understand it in the subtle parts. I happen to also love to write, so it's quite fun for me to do documentation, while I understand there are a seizable amount of programmers that don't like to write documentation a lot.

However to return to your original question of what is possible to do to help, issues verification/triage is a HUGE thing because the issues are of hugely mixed quality. Moreover Github does not help by making users not able to label the issues in order to make them into categories: only the collaborators can label issues.

Another problem I face is high quality QA, that is, a person that explores certain parts of Redis to understand where there is a quality problem and how it is possible to fix it.

Code reviews are also crucial. For a few months I had a contributor, Sun He, that prevented a number of bugs in Redis by reading each commit and by understanding non trivial bugs just reading the code. Impressive. Eventually he got a job after the university and now contributes only from time to time, but I'll be thankful forever ;-)

> Natural gas is considered sustainable in Europe

That is a misleading mischaracterization. The article refers exclusively to biogas, not fracked natural gas which is the basis of your claim of "cheaper, more plentiful and cleaner than gasoline".

And it's not even sustainable if we were to purposefully scale its production (it still emits CO2), which is why the article prefers the lesser term "renewable".
"The Silent Deep: The Royal Navy Submarine Service Since 1945" - I was worried that this would be rather dry, but I found it rather engrossing - from the accounts of the various espionage escapades during the Cold War, to the political machinations around the creation of the nuclear fleet (with a surprisingly large input from Hyman Rickover, who was quite a character) to a contemporary account of the "Perisher" command course. Imagine being on an incredibly stressful training course where if you fail you are immediately removed from the environment and not allowed to work in that area ever again!

> Has anyone crossed from one language to the other...?

Yes, I've been doing Clojure for maybe four years, and picked up Elixir over the course of 2016. Frankly, I think I'll be preferring Elixir over Clojure for most tasks from now on.

The concurrency/parallelism story in Elixir/Erlang is just so much better than Clojure, or honestly anything else. (I'm talking about OTP and Supervisors here, but even the bare Process system is nicer than working with Clojure's CSP implementation)

Plus, because Erlang is also a functional language there isn't any Functional/OOP friction when interfacing with the native VM or with Erlang libraries. It's turtles all the way down, which I really appreciate after many times getting stuck in the mire of Java/OOP that lurks beneath the surface of Clojure.

Oh, and Phoenix blows any of the Clojure web systems out of water. It's awesome.

While I can not from the top of my head think of all that many actual books, I would recommend considering a couple of tv series: From the to Earth the Moon [1] and Moon Machines [2]. The former is based on a book [3], but I have not read it.

There is a lot of information available on the American space programs all over the internet, but if you would like to read about their Soviet counterparts, give Rockets and People [4] a go.

Finally, to get an idea of what it is like to live in outer space nowadays, Chris Hadfield's autobiography An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth [5] is a good read.

Trump can't do anything to change libel law, at least not to his benefit as president.

First of all, libel is a creature of state law. There's no federal libel claim AFAIK, and arguably defamation is one of the few areas that Congress would find difficult to legislate without running afoul of the limits of federal powers.

Second, well-established constitutional law sets an extremely high bar for a politician or other public figure to prove defamation--they have to show malicious intent. This bar is so high that any lawyer could get it thrown out of court with minimal cost and time. While Trump the private citizen had some success with nuisance suits, he'd have little success as president. Indeed, I wouldn't be surprised if state bars investigated any lawyer who tried to file a series of such nuisance claims.

And if somebody was maliciously defaming Trump, we shouldn't have many qualms about them being held accountable. They'd only be committing the same sins Trump has and will continue to commit; sins which disrupt our capability to carry out reasonable political discourse. If Trump managed to win such a case, he'd only be encouraging the floodgates to suits against himself and people like him. Given the reality of his ascendency, I think that's something I could live with.

The military is fine until you're sent to Afghanistan and you're assigned to missions where you end up killing people. They're dead, and you're messed up for a long, long time. Happened to a couple friends of mine. One of them is de facto permanently disabled (though refuses help from the system itself), bounces from one job to the next, spends every waking moment high, because of the things he did over there.

As for the rest, asking someone to live cheap until they're 65, as a way to compensate for systemic malfunction, ehh...nope, let's get political and fix the system.

I always thought that the 'Roaring 20s' were caused by 'unsustainable debt issuance'. You seem to not connect the two... can you elaborate?
Here's my perspective.

(I am writing in a snarky way to convey a message)

1. If you're using recruiters, you're already losing. Especially if those are recruiting agencies that "hide" the name of the companies.

The cold emails are just ridiculously hideous.

2. Use as little hyped up words as you possibly can. You might change the world, but everyone else is saying the same thing and people are getting sensitive about it.

3. Impact - Emphasize what is the impact of the role. Why do you need my skills, Not just an engineer skills, why do you need me. If you don't need me I don't care what you need, post on LinkedIn for all I care.

4. The mail needs to come from the CTO with as many details as possible about the company. Not how much money you raised and from which VCs, everybody raised money and everybody as VCs behind them. I could care less. What are the technical challenges, what's the roadmap, what challenges are you facing that you need me to solve and help with.

5. Compensation - "Competitive salary" means nothing. I don't think it's relevant to me at all. You need to be specific about the compensation levels. If you wanna give a range, that's also fine. If your range stops at X and I am making X+50%, I know we are too far apart, we could save each other the trouble.

6. Interview - If the interview requires more than a single day, I don't care. If it requires whiteboard, I don't care, If it requires multiple processes and screens, I don't care.

It's all about managing friction. Just like acquiring a customer on Google or Facebook. If the process has too much friction, I don't want to go through it. I just don't. I'm happy where I am and it's not worth my trouble.

All of these may sound elitist, I get that. I really do. But if you want really senior engineers the targeting is different than people that just finished bootcamp or have 2-3 years of experience.

In the 1800s after even after Napoleon there were sporadic uprisings scattered through Europe and around the world, especially in the 1830s and 40s. The Franco-Prussina war was a prelude to WWI. Brits fought Russians, Turks fought Russians, Spain had multiple civil wars, Germans fought each other constantly. Even the US had a civil war. And the seeds for 1914's WWI did not suddenly appear in the 14 years of the 20th century before it.

>...is not even remotely in the league of anything in the past. Not even close...

I wish this were the case. And while Brexit is only one referendum, possibly recoverable, the Front National, AfD, PVV and Trump use rhetoric that is completely indistinguishable for Eastern and Southern European fascism of the 1920s. Some of it is verbatim quotes translated. And the economic policies of these parties will only worsen the economic well being of the electorate angering them further.

We can keep making optimistic guesses about the next score years but there is also more realistic outcome:

We do not in fact live in a magic time at the end of history. The post WWII (relative) peace is not remotely an inevitable state of affairs. It is an incredibly delicate thing maintained by moderate democratic global nurturing. Inept leaders set on dissolving alliances and treaties combined with aggressive rhetoric and random hostilities executed solely to excite a demagogue's support base could break that peace in any of a dozen powder kegs world wide faster than the bullet that killed prince Ferdinand. Indeed, if NATO weakens enough, as many on the far-right wish, and Putin starts loosing popularity, god help the Baltic states.

In a bizarre recent trend, people are starting to call anyone without college education 'unskilled'. A decent toolroom machinist required more training and did more mentally challenging work than many office workers with 'soft' college degrees.

These are indeed the kind of jobs that were lost to automation. Truly unskilled labor was replaced not by robots but by cheaper unskilled labor of other people.
Still, the EFF is spooked about Trump becoming President; and I consider them knowledgeable and logical lawyers for the most part.

"That's... pretty good evidence." No it is not. It is extremely weak evidence. Written by people who clearly had alternative motives.

"This was written down for us by a guy who was in the room when it happened." It is extremely unlikely the author was in the room that day.

Again, why did Stephen not even attempt to convince the Sanhedrin? "flashing neon sign" ... apparently it was not back in those days, let alone today. Imagine if early christians had such good evidence, how much faster and more broadly would it have spread if the Sanhedrin would adopt Jesus his views. Muhammad would have been devout christian.

"[..] That is, your presupposition is determining how you view the evidence."

That is true. But it is called the null hypothesis. Innocent until proven guilty. It is the number one "invention" that launched humanity into modernity. But that should not be misunderstood as not giving alternative hypothesis an honest look.

But the claim of something supernatural is quite a strong one, it should come with an equally strong signal before it becomes credible. As things stand today, the conclusion is, god is unlikely and unprovable. Moreover, belief in invisible unknowable things does not do the world any favors.

For the bible or christianity to exist, we do not need a supernatural explanation, it falls well within normal human behaviour.

Both France and Germany are net electricity exporters on an annual basis.

But when France sends surplus nuclear electricity to its neighbors that's supposed to be a plus for nuclear technology. When Germany sends surplus renewable electricity to its neighbors that's supposed to be a minus for renewable technology. Both nuclear and renewable generation are rigid in their own ways; neither is as flexible as gas powered generation, but of course neither has the substantial fuel costs or emissions of gas powered generation either.
Its not just automation. There have been many more applications of optimization to reducing operating margins. At my company, there was, for example, a project aimed at identifying the optimal service intervals for heavy mining equipment. As a result of this work, it was possible to substantially reduce the amount of preventative maintenance that was being done on the machinery. It was found that not all of the preventive maintenance was cost effective.
