Someone responded with a quite compelling example of sensationalized news that touched racism, but then deleted their post. Most notable was that first the story emphasised races of some perpetrators harassing a black girl. But then later when the story turned out not to be true the NYT published a rectification in which race was not mentioned at all.

I can see how that works to slant the readers view of the world. I'll be careful of this, though there is little overly sensationalized news in my feed.
To add to that, even if we can technically support a lot more people with the sustainable resources we have, which I personally doubt, getting close to our max capacity means we will have zero wiggle room when things go wrong. With climate change accelerating and guaranteed to cause drastic changes to our environment, a lot of things will go wrong at the same time.

The analogy I like is your income/spending ratio. Yes, you can technically spend 100% of your income, or even >100% with debt. But if you choose to live like that, then when you get laid off, or get sick/disabled, or divorced, or forced to start caring for a relative, or have your house burn down, then all of a sudden what's already a major emergency is exacerbated by financial issues.

Decreasing our population now is like increasing our savings rate. We know difficult times are coming. Fewer people will only help us navigate the transition more humanely and equitably. Not only is this true from a macro/global scale, but also a micro/family scale where it's obvious that having more kids than you can afford or have time to raise is its own kind of cruelty.

Anyway, if you're choosing to have kids, one is enough. The real winners adopt.
shrug Was just pointing out that you don't need the .proto files on hand to interact with a gRPC service if you use the above approach.
The typical situation where this happens in a chem lab (where I learned about this stuff) is having glass tubing immersed in a dewar as a vapor trap for a vacuum pump. In normal operation, the tubing has near-vacuum inside, and the liquid nitrogen condenses any volatiles that might get into the vacuum system.

But if you open the vacuum system to the air and leave it immersed in the dewar, then you can condense a considerable amount of oxygen in the bottom of the vapor trap... which is already covered in whatever organic gunk you were trapping in the first place.

I post this not because I think people keeping a thermos of liquid N2 in their garage need to worry about it, but because it's such a nonobvious way to blow yourself up with what is in all other respects a docile substance.

Rural WA outside Seattle 50mi you can get gig fiber for $60/mo http://www.ifiber.tv/internet/mason-county there are allot of other similar municipalities (eastern WA/parts of TN) with similar deals. Just don’t let the telcos become a monopoly and this is what you get.
You are thinking very short term and in a very narrow range of conditions around our current economic situation.

We have never seen economic conditions remotely close to what we would see if the population were actually shrinking.
A lot of those people alone in care homes have children. They just don't care. You can never know what the future holds so make reasonable plans but above all just enjoy your life and make yourself useful while you can. You have a therapist so you're not really selling the whole child lifestyle to me.
Thank goodness! I hope this is true. Please let it be true, that the population will decrease in the example countries and elsewhere.

Seems to be about the only thing, that can protect us from further overpopulating the planet with more humans. Even better, if it is caused by more education and more similar or equal opportunity for women.
We should start celebrating women, who choose not to get children or at least not more than 1 child as climate saviors too.
It not exotic at all, plenty of languages outside C++ family branch use [] for type parameters.

In fact, I think D is the only one using () as well.
How to Disappear Completely – The Great Vanishing Act
Probably one of the best TNG episodes.
The built-in types map, chan, array, and slice take type parameters, and they are usually sufficient for doing whatever you need to do.

It's incredibly great that, generally speaking, if I'm looking at Go code, the only kind of hashtable there can possibly be is the Go map data structure. The only kind of blocking queue there can possibly be is the Go chan data structure.

You will never see a LinkedTreeDeque or whatever other bizarre concoction someone might come up with. And people don't feel obligated to make every API an iterator of some kind.

Go makes being generics architecture astronautics impossible, and I really love that about it. Perhaps that makes me basic, but I am basic and happy.

FWIW, the information in this article is out of date.

For example, as the article picks on PHP, PHP now uses the Mersenne Twister for regular rand(), and gives access to a CSPRNG through random_int() and random_bytes(). By "now" here I mean as of five years ago.

It's still important for developers to understand the "P" in PRNG, but at least we have less possible foot-shooting by default in PHP now. (Evergreen statement!)

Why should I have the personal responsibility to "fix" my county? Just because I happened to be born there? Seems like a weird take; I don't think location of birth imparts any sort of personal responsibility towards the location.

I was able to leave my own country because I didn't like it, why shouldn't other people have this opportunity? Just because someone else does something bad in their country? Meh. Most people I know aren't "fleeing"; they just want to live somewhere else for a while. Most come back as their family etc. is here and they're usually better off with the experience.

Rich people all over the world spend money on rich person's things. That's a very small minority though, and most people are just regular middle-class people (or worse) with middle-class income and jobs.

My Indonesian girlfriend will have a significantly harder time moving to Europe than I have moving to Indonesia for no other reason than her location of birth, even though she has a university degree and arguably a better job than I do.

> A shrinking, aging population would fix this problem. The demand for labor will go up, the supply will go down.

An ageing population likely consumes less. The demand for goods will go down and the demand for labor will likely remain constant for a shrinking workforce. Asset prices will crash if future demand does not keep up with current valuations. This is not just bad for the investor class, this is bad for anyone who relies on the modern banking and financial systems.

Well, truth is, you need to code something "mainstream" to make it even worth it. (read as: have at least like 2 people watching or even just visit your channel once, not including yourself ...) Program some "Unity game prototype", some Java or JavaScript web dev, frontend or backend, put in buzzwords like Postgres and NodeJS and what else is relevant to people right now. You know, Twitch has a specific target audience after all. No one is gonna come for some bootloader programming on a STM32F0 (no vector table offset register after all!) or integration of a secure element from NXP including some crypto basics about ECC because people simply don't care there.

There was a twitch-like platform for live coding once, but obviously it flopped.
I'm looking forward to seeing these types of libraries improve with generics. It's notably more work to use these data structures, even if they are used rarely.

>If the birth rate remains at 2.1 you can have as many miscarriages as you want, and the population will still increase.

2.1 children per woman is the REPLACEMENT rate, meaning this is what it would take for the population size to remain roughly the same. One kid to replace her, one kid to replace a random dude (not necessarily the father!), and .1 kids to make up for the kids that die before they reach adulthood.

This does not mean that every woman needs to have children. it means that the total number of children divided by the total amount of women needs to be 2.1 for the population to remain stable

For most countries, visiting with a tourist visa means that it’s illegal to work while inside the country. The intent is to prevent you from entering the local job market, so most countries will turn a blind eye to tourists who don’t completely cut themselves off from their employer back home.

The actual laws haven’t been updated to officially allow that, though, so you’re operating in a legal grey area; especially if you have some non-vacation days in-country. This makes it unambiguously legal to take an extended vacation where you support yourself by continuing to work remotely.

I don't like those kind of projects because they sort of try to bank on the global warming problem with inventions and new things, except this doesn't work, because CO2 is just too hard to eliminate.

It's the penultimate problem of industrialized capitalism: "we have a problem and we need to MAKE something new to solve this". But the problem was always the excess of industry in the first place. The solution is simple: slow down consumption everywhere and optimize the use of carbon, but it's completely against the spirit of industrial capitalism. That's why global warming can only be solved with political solutions.

I believe that in the future, violence will occur to stop co2 emissions by force, while the wealthy will be able to shelter themselves away from hot places. Global warming is EXACTLY the problem of libertarian ideology. It completely dismisses the commons. Global warming is the perfect example of what happens when we accept "survival of the fittest" and social darwinism. I'm worried that rich people are okay with global warming because they are able to justify it with Malthusian arguments.
C) We will develop anti-aging treatments due to increased funding of SENS and similar projects. Combine that with a universal basic income and robots and you get a much better picture of the future.

Edit: we are also not taking into account artificial gestation methods that may be developed in the next 100 years. In 2120 it may seem as barbaric as child labor and other 19th century atrocities to actually have a woman carry through a pregnancy, not to say that religious fundamentalists will want to continue the practice.

These projections do not account for increase in life expectancy. India is projected to peak at 1.7 b, if you consider Indian subcontinent as an entity, it puts the population of South Asia at 2.25 b. Not a good sight when coupled with unreliable climate, water scarcity, unlivable summer temperatures and no direct opportunities which means corruption may lead to feudalism of the yore.

> "It's not going to be viable to have 50+ sats over all metro areas at once" ... "requiring literally millions of satellites"

That doesn't sound right. A satellite doesn't have to be directly overhead to be reachable. The coverage map below suggests that each satellite can cover a region 800-1000km in diameter, so with a fully deployed constellation of 12,000 to 42,000 satellites, there should easily be 50+ sats visible from any metro area. Perhaps even more than that.

Hawaii Information Consortium (I guess it's now, NIC Hawaii, https://nichawaii.egov.com/), which is a subsidiary of NIC.

HIC was a great company to work for, as was NIC from the limited interactions I had with the larger corporate powers that be. Most websites/services were provided for free to the state / state agencies, instead relying on small fees per transaction on some of the stuff we did, to fund the work that didn't have transactions (I forget the amount, but we're talking something like 50c per transaction).

Being free was a key incentive to getting various agencies to come on-line.

Loppen, music venue, survives corona by crowdfunding
Loppen a music venue in freetown Christiania, Denmark, was facing closing down after 45 years as effect of corona.

Loppen started a fundraiser on gofundme and got about half its goal in a week: 45'000$.

Culture venues around the world is fighting for survival these times and i think we should all think about how "remote" we want our future to be.

Music venues, theaters etc are not gonna survive times where the idea of an audience is outlawed by social-distancing laws (for the benefit of all).

If you want to be able to go to concerts in a near future you need to step up and support your local venues. Music as live-art form has been challenged the last many years and getting on a stage as a "new name" is harder than ever. If we do not step up and support our venues, then we will face a future where only the biggest venues survive, and thereby the biggest bands. Watching concerts on a computerscreen is not gonna replace the live experience so please find your local venue and consider supporting it!

> having children is supported (see Europe...

I politely disagree, the childcare support and social services you have in Europe are not an incentive in anyway, for the large majority of countries here, they are a mitigation at best.

The majority of young europeans in fertile age, continue to struggle with housing costs (high rents high down payments) and salaries not in line with COL until far too late in their careers, if not indefinitely. Those two are the major drivers for 'post-poning' having children in IMHO.
justicezyx isn't saying Google would turn down a Chinese company's business. justicezyx is saying a Chinese company cannot become popular among US consumers. I don't exactly agree with that argument, but we should at least understand what the argument is.
This is a bit like hearing a successful startup founder speak about the joys of success. It’s absolutely correct, but it’s also just one data point.

Keep in mind, most of the lonely old people you see have children. And I’m not sure it’s a good, caring thing to tell childless people that they will be lonely in old age, because it need not be true.
Yes, that is one of my favorite quotes. The key point is " would have long been against the law".

I think it's a bit more complex than that, houses decay over time and need replacing and upkeep. If we want sufficient housing in 50 years we need to maintain the upkeep as well, which will probably only be done according to "supply and demand", so there may still be a shortage just because many houses won't be maintained sufficiently.

In quite a few cities you already see quite a lot of housing just left derelict even though there's a housing shortage.

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if a larger part of the then-old people will want to keep living in the city, as that's where they've been living their entire lives (which differs a bit from today's old population).

I don't know ... it's really hard to predict these things. It could very well be the case that you're right, but personally I wouldn't really bet on population decline significantly reducing the pressure on the housing situation. It seems more of an economical/policy issue to me than a population issue.
