> Most web developers are working on very "boring" teams. They're producing workhorse products that serve the organisation needs. They aren't trying to innovate.

This analysis is bogus, it assumes innovation is defined by bleeding edge technology and tooling... specific technology or tooling does not define or even positively correlate with innovation of the project itself.

In fact I would go as far as saying it potentially has a negative correlation - bleeding edge tooling or technology can be especially distracting unless the difference is fundamentally relevant - when I pick the simplest most boring tool it's often because they are well understood, mature and minimize the time I spent focusing on them, unlike bleeding edge things that pull me away from the core problem or thing I am trying to "innovate". These are not mutually exclusive either, you might have some people working on putting together build pipelines who are very "noisy" about up and coming technologies that can simplify or improve their systems somehow... and completely separately some other people who write the code that goes through that pipeline and may or may not care about it's exact makeup, they also may or may not be "noisy" about the patterns or strategies they came up with to innovate in their problem areas.

While it is true there is a visible and invisible part of the world of development (not everyone blogs), the analogy completely breaks down when you try to infer things from that observed absence of information because people are not amorphous matter. People are the complete entropic opposite, they are highly animate high entropy matter exhibitting some of the most complex behavior known - Attempting to infer a single quality of one of their most complex and intentional behaviors from a lack of information is not going to work... even for dark matter we only dare to infer extremely generic things such as quantity.

I totally can imagine how in the future there are these archeologists among all those JavaScript devs working for them trying to understand that weird language that Chrome was once written in, still in use decades after the company that built it went away.

Countless attempts to improve anything in that ancient code base failed since by that point, every little quirk that browser exposed was depended on by some essential system running a power plant, hospital or internet core infrastructure.

So the archeologists rather try to find even more quirks that can be abused for performance.
Yes, fossil fuels are originally from organic life, which resulted directly or indirectly from photosynthesis.

Plants do their best to suck up all the CO2 in the atmosphere. Yet CO2 is being added to the atmosphere faster than photosynthesis can capture it. This is why CO2 levels are rising. Human activity contributes a lot to the addition of CO2 (and equivalent greenhouse gases) and plants can't keep up with us.

It's also fascinating how people view the moment they are living in as the most important of all time.

It's incredibly hard to argue against even with the tools of history on your side. We are psychological pre disposed at any point in time to consider that the present moment relative to that time is the utmost most important and urgent and also to view the past and future as less important. It's non stop urgency of the moment.

Imagine a historian in the future writing about the decade we are living in now and just writing a line "nothing much to note". We would feel insulted and hurt just considering this.

It probably makes use of the https://brid.gy gateway to display content from silos such as Twitter.

This is an intended usecase of the indieweb, see https://indieweb.org/backfeed

Implementing webmentions on your website is not hard. But if you don't want to selfhost your own webmention endpoint (or can't), take a look at webmention.io (that plays well with bridgy) to host your webmentions and expose a JSON API. This API allows you for example, when a building a page, to query the API for webmentions related to this piece of content so you can display those interactions nicely as on the original article linked.

My environmental studies prof did an experiment cycling and getting the bus to university on both the amounnt of money spent and energy consumed. He found that he would spend more if cycling than the bus fare on food to keep the same energy input equal.

People also generally cannot sustain eating less continually but obviously there's a health benefit from some changes.

The ecosystem approach to food energy and carbon brings some surprising convulsions too. For example wrapping and selling fruit in plastic bags is better than buying them loose. This doesn't make sense unless you think about the whole picture.

I suspect that the recent HN craze for indiscriminate feel good tree planting is also ecologically and sustainably suspect if looked at holistically.

A market system means that you get what you pay for. Poor people get crap healthcare while rich people get great healthcare - for as long as their money lasts. Unless you think that MRIs are going to become as cheap as paperclips, there's no market mechanism that will level the playing field in that respect.

You may respond that poor people would still be covered by Medicare. But your skepticism of the efficiency of the government should extend to its ability to reliably identify the people who need assistance. And if you are ok with the government paying for some people's healthcare, it seems to me that you've given up the main principle. Why not just have a public option open to anyone, and let "the market" compete with that? If the government is as useless as you say, insurance companies should have nothing to fear.

The problem with student loans in the US is arguably a lack of government regulation. In the UK, for example, there are very strict regulations on interest rates and the repayment schedule. Although student loan debt is still a drag on the younger generation, it doesn't bankrupt anyone.

With insurance you don't pay anything for getting your finger checked. That was the price without insurance (full bill including consultation would be probably 50€ or so).
You're right that a lot of people eat more than they should, and exercise less than they should. We aren't efficient in this regard.

Yet when a human exercises, they breathe more, and produce more CO2. There is an internal carbon cycle that must be maintained. If any person exercises more without changing their diet, their rate of 'carbon accumulation' (to be kind) will decrease. For someone like myself who isn't in the habit of accumulating carbon - a long-term impact of riding to work will be that I will lose weight [0]. As a carbon-based life form, if I don't change this to be non-negative, I'm clearly down a path of self-destruction, and will need to increase my food intake eventually.

I have just received an environmental report for a property I am hoping to buy, which flagged up increased risk of subsidence. This is due to clay in the soil - which expands/contracts depending on temperature and water content.

This is very common in south of the UK, and usually doesn't have too much risk involved (especially if the foundations were built under soil considerations) but I wonder what impact this might have in the close future, with temperatures soaring and so many old buildings/homes over 100 years old.

Climate change will impact on things that don’t even cross our minds.
Yeah, recently due to an illness I lost all of my appetite. Initially, it was actually quote amusing - I went from being casually hungry and snacking every now and then to just.....not needing food. Like, I could have a piece of toast and then not eat anything for the rest of the day and I would feel absolutely fine. After few weeks though I lost a lot of weight and it went from being amusing to being a major pain in the ass, because actually forcing yourself to eat when you're not hungry is extremely difficult. It's not that I have any physical difficulty with eating, it's just that I would have a couple bites and I feel my body telling me "you're full, you don't need more", and I know that's a lie and I have to eat to actually get better. I'm a lot better than when it first started, but yeah, the first two-three weeks were just amusing with how little food we can actually consume and how little effect it had on my daily life.

I'm the opposite. I don't like lawns, not just for the looks but mainly because as far as biodiversity goes a trimmed lawn is almost dead. So I converted the lawns which came with the house into meadows. Nature thrives, and as far as maintainance goes it is also beneficial: depending on conditions I'm mowing twice or ideally just once a year. Even with a scythe it takes less time than standard lanw maintainance.

Yes in a vacuum and out of context, those are vastly different words with different meanings. That's how the original commentator is trying to fool you who stop at that without considering the actual implications.

For this context in reality "unlikely" and "impossible" are the same thing, barely a distinction definitely without a difference. It makes absolutely no concrete difference. But you ignored this point of my comment.

The biological food chain is perfectly carbon neutral, whether you eat meat or not.

But, as I wrote in my previous comment, the industrial production chain may not be, and in fact isn't.

In any case, this is a red herring because that makes no difference when comparing means of personal transportation: Whether I walk or ride an electric scooter I will have to eat very close to the same, close enough to be a rounding error.
Ahh yes, in the UK there was one called X-stream (and another called ic24) for a while which did exactly the same thing with an ad banner in exchange for a toll-free number. I think it was only free at weekends, and you’d have to retry hundreds of times to get through once word got out, only to end up with a crappy connection so slow you could barely use it. Still, it was free!

No, I'm saying that this is irrelevant when comparing means of personal transportation...

The fact remain that the biological food chain is carbon neutral. As I already said, and as you also mentionend, it is the industrial production chain that is not.
> Allowing a system like this to be implemented under the guise of 'full transparency' is like a political trojan horse. All it takes is a loss of priority in that objective by the same or subsequent administration

It does not coincide with elevation (see an elevation map of Europe: https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/figures/elevation-ma...). Finland, the Baltics, Netherlands, Denmark, England, South of Sweden, North of France and Germany are pretty low. Italy, Greece and Turkey are all higher elevated and they are wetter than normal.
> But cancer is not a living organism and rather parts of the living organism gone wrong.

This is much like saying that criminals are not living organisms, just parts of a society that have gone wrong.

The headline is a meaningless tautology.

In a "perfectly normal" year half of soil would be drier than normal, half would be wetter than normal, and none would be exactly normal.

The most reasonable way to interpret the headline would be to say soil is slightly wetter than normal, which is obviously not the intended message.
> Just... yawn. Think bigger.

More specifically: Think subjectively, think what's relevant to your current context...

Most important, is to lose the "everything is a nail attitude" and instead find the solution that fits best for your current problem. It's very difficult to make unbiased well balanced decisions to use a solution when starting from the solutions perspective. It's better to start with the problem first and stop focusing too much on tools, methods, patterns etc. i.e be invested in your problem not some solution, you don't owe them anything.

None of these ideas e.g CSS-in-JS are absolutely good or bad, they can be good in one context and bad in another, however very often the distribution is such that they are bad to generally apply - programming patterns being the worst and most often abused case of things that should not be generally applied and which are.

It's ok to talk about new ideas, it's not ok to forcefully apply the latest idea to everything you touch like it's your new religion.
