A similar discussion from half a year ago on HN [0]. Everytime I see concerning articles like these on drastic impact of climate change, it is always followed by a discussion on how disheartening and worrisome it is.

However, what I would really like to see is a discussion on what we, as engineers or skilled professionals or converned citizens of the only liveable planet, do to make an impactful difference. I am sure a lot of us do our part by making little changes in our everyday life such as reducing consumption, choosing public transportation, being aware of the source of the goods we consume, so on and so forth. But there is very little hope that these small changes will get us where we need to be.

I found this [1] firm that aims to match you to organizations doing impactful work on a larger scale, in case it is interesting for anyone. Hoping to see more such resources or strategies.

I feel like being poor has lost a lot of its negative stigma.

These days I find myself casually letting people know that I'm poor in order to get more favorable treatment.

There are so many highly skilled poor people these days that there is not so much stigma around it. Being poor is basically a natural state for the vast majority of people in their 20s to 40s. My ex-colleagues often discuss how little money they have and how hard they struggle to find jobs. This is a totally normal conversation.
Yes, people can protest, nobody is arguing that.

But you can't block the highway, subway, or traffic and it has little to do with 'democracy'.

The only reason people are not cleared out sooner, is because politicians are afraid of ugly images - it's hard to physical move people with someone, somewhere getting hurt.

If there were an easy way to move people, they'd be moved.

People can picket all they want in front of Parliament or wherever, just not on the subway tracks.
87% sounds pretty good to me if it encourages a lot more people to get tested. I do wonder how many are avoiding a test because the know from others' reports that it's most uncomfortable. Think about the number of people who are afraid of simple medical procedures such as injections and apply that number to those who don't wish to get "brain scraped". It's a problem.

I know exactly what is reasonable to say in a business context. Comfortable walking that line - it is for business purposes and I'm never concerned by my own ability to make judgement calls.

But when talking to a recruiter? Ehhhhh. I am pretty sure I would break the precise terms... so I guess the real question is how vindictive is the holder of the NDA :)
The Government is very familiar with LSD, having used it for a wide variety of research over an extended period of time. LSD has proven exceedingly effective at behavior modification, and has already been put to use by the wrong hands. So, they know better than anyone as to how dangerous it is: https://www.amazon.com/Tom-ONeill-ebook/dp/B07K6J273Q

There are even stories of amazon selling fake books... Their way of acquiring themselves and of course intermingling goods makes the whole of amazon hard to trust.

In Europe a number of companies (most notably shoe company Birkenstock) are refusing to sell on amazon due to them mixing fake and real products and the producer gets the losses AND takes the commercial and reputational hit when things go wrong.

Yes, that is a valid point! From my experience the card creating process is also really valuable and forces you to distill the information down to something concrete.

But I totally get you, that for something like learning a language it would be nice to have some predefined decks.
What is a group? (Group of people, or some chemical compound, or some kind of corporate structure, protecting possibly illegal stuff going on in one of the groups?)

Why would one do well to remember to characterise any synthesis undertaken? To protect oneself against legal action by showing that the labs purpose was synthesising legal compounds?

If this economic downturn helps put extortionist companies like Yelp out of business, bring it. The companies that survive or resurrect will be better off without them.

That's the free market. When things are booming, pigfuckers like yelp are free to seek rent and extort. When things go bad, hopefully yelp and yelp-like things go down with everyone else.

I don't wish unemployment on anyone who actually works for a living. But the C-suite and investors of companies like Yelp can take a dive, as far as I'm concerned.

> I do. That's how housing works in Japan - you buy a house to live in, not to save money or invest

Something I don't understand: if there is real deflation, your buying power increases if you wait. In this case: wait a year, get a nicer house for the same price, or pay significantly less for the current house.
So even if you're not buying the house as an investment, waiting would improve your situation as a buyer. The more you wait, the better for you.

How do you ever get to actually buying a house in such circumstances?
The reasons why tobacco and alcohol are legal are mostly historical and they are basically the only exceptions.

The tech bubble in the west is bug, sure - but that's not the same as organisations with 100s of thousands of employees selling bodies as cheap as possible.

Furthermore, it's naive to think India is the same as western countries - it's a huge country with it's own unique culture (cultures, really), history and languages. For many Indians, software development isn't seen as professional career path; a dev job is little more that a vehicle to becoming a manager. And being a manager, in charge of people, elevates your social standing, to a position of kudos and respect - that doesn't happen in the west.

> In Southeast Asia, where increasingly unpredictable monsoon rainfall and drought have made farming more difficult, the World Bank points to more than eight million people who have moved toward the Middle East, Europe and North America.

Citation needed: as far as I can tell the linked report (below, a giant 260 page, 64MB PDF) says nothing at all about Southeast Asia?

https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/bitstream/handle/10986/2...

The vast majority of Southeast Asia is very consistently wet and humid, which makes it an unlikely candidate to become unlivably hot. The sole major exporter of workers in the region is the Philippines, but that's mostly due to overpopulation encouraged by Catholic dogma, and there's "only" around 2M overseas workers. Where are the other 6M?

Personally, I think India is going to be largest challenge by far. It's soon the largest country in the world, it has massive water and pollution problems, and anybody who has experienced Delhi in May will agree that large parts of it are already virtually uninhabitably hot.
I competed against this team in this year’s CU New Venture Challenge. They got first, we (https://docforge.dev) got second.

They are doing some amazing work with this and SickStick.
Mess them up, kick them out.
The thing is front end dev is actually very different from back end dev. Having done a lot of both, I can say that they require very different skillsets and different knowledge, so it is quite normal that they're not done by the same people.

I've seen this argument many times, but as someone else who has done a lot of both, I've never really understood it. It's just programming, like any other software project. Sure, you might use different languages and each might have its own tool chain, but unless you're using radically different languages or tools in the two cases, those are probably superficial differences. Most experienced professional developers can probably work in several languages, and you pick up a new tool chain in days if you need to. But the fundamentals of programming are still much the same whatever you're building. Certainly different applications also have different knowledge and skills -- writing a business automation tool is likely to be quite a different experience to writing a control system for ABS in a car, say -- but for a typical web app, the front and back ends are usually going to overlap a lot in this respect.

As I mentioned in another comment, the huge exception to this is junior roles, because at that stage in someone's career they probably haven't gained much diversity of experience yet and you probably should start by focussing on one particular aspect. So if your project team consists of many relatively junior people and not so many seniors with broader experience, sure, you're going to put most people specifically on front-end or back-end, at least to start with.

Your opinion is valid but in this case because isolated societies developed independently, the “oldness” is somehow relative.

My opinion is that MP exceeded my expecations. So did Taj Majal. It’s just something in our personalities.
Global population is increasing at a rate of >1% per year. We crossed 6 billion in 1999 and 7 billion in 2011. We're now much closer to 8 billion than 7 billion too.

It is hard to imagine scenarios where this magnitude of growth ends well and wedging 'climate' into everything really is making people miss the real problem. The problem is human population growth - it seems quite likely that the future contains seas of blood and withering famines with or without climate change.

Handing out condoms and the pill will do more to help than curtailing fossil fuel usage (which realistically will just bring the suffering on faster). A world of 1 billion people would be a very comfortable world compared to what people put up with now - about a third of them could have a US-level lifestyle and the rest could put up with European standards of living.

This so much. It felt so weird that this person was talking about poverty and blogging/reading on the internet at the same time.

Few poor people in the third world would know what blogging even is, forget about even wasting precious resources like time, money for a smartphone and an internet connection just to read/write some ideas which few are ever going to read and you won’t be making anything out of.

This feels like being written by a person who knows that she’s writing for people who like to think about the idea of poverty living, but haven’t experienced it much first or even second-hand, only knowing about it from the news or glossy donation pamphlets.

It took a lot of HIV vaccine research to figure that out. Before that research, nobody knew. Of course now it is knows, when the people started, it wasn't clear what the problems will be.

Likewise, a lot of research is needed this time too. And the logistic needed to have the results usable is simply huge and everything needs time even if some steps are overlapped.

On that level, of still being far from having a ready solution, one can compare, on the level of the sameness of the virus it is of course now known that the viruses behave differently.
We broke a monolith to mini-services 3 years ago. We went from 3 deployments (dev, stg, prod) to over 200. I think we've gone a bit too far and will cut down a bit but could not be happier overall. The move allowed the business to massively scale.
You can most certainly find them if you want them and it's a fruit that is at least somewhat cultivated locally. Try peaches when they're really in season, which only seems to be a few weeks a year. I've had them right after picking from a farm in the Bay Area but I'm sure Georgia and other peach-growing areas have access to this as well. I don't know if I'll ever find peaches that give me the experience I had of biting into peaches as juicy and flavorful as those.

Or, try apples in a place that actually grows a large amount and diversity of apples. In season, you can walk into some grocery stores and find 20+ varieties that all actually taste unique.

Fertility rates are already plummeting across the planet, and most developed countries already need a steady influx of migrants just to keep their populations steady. The issue is that a baby born today will live for 70-ish years, so there's a large "hump" of overpopulation to deal with before world population growth goes into reverse around 2100.

I'm the author.

I'm disabled and the primary provider for my family of three, which includes two disabled sons. I absolutely didn't want to be poor. I'm still poor and I hate every minute of it. I wish desperately that I had more money and I am doing all in my power to resolve my problems and this has been true for years.

"First world problem" or not, being homeless in a first world country is still a very real problem. Among other things, people who are homeless die at much younger ages on average than people who are housed.

People who experience homelessness have an average life expectancy of around 50 years of age, almost 20 years lower than housed populations.

https://nationalhomeless.org/category/mortality/

So homelessness is literally killing people. I do what I can to provide useful information, both for those on the street/at risk of homelessness and for those interested in finding effective solutions. My knowledge comes from first-hand experience -- having spent nearly six years homeless -- as well as formal education on the topic of homelessness.

For the record, I'm a woman. So I'm a "ma'am," not a "sir," if you want to know the correct term with which to express your contempt while pretending to be respectful.

The article though is not advocating to live in poverty, but rather to live with just the right amount of FU Money to be able to make free choices. After this threshold the perspective if one is rich of poor becomes one of mindset and not so much based on the superficial metric of one's net worth.
But you do have a choice not to touch them. As it stands now, everyone is forced to touch the screens. So, it is an improvement.
That much cooked white rice is a very high glycemic load. I'd rather get my diabetes from candy, thanks.

I think you missed a subtle point though: Cooking takes time and energy, which you should not value at $0, unless you really enjoy cooking, in which case you probably don't eat at McDonald's a lot.
That "hump going into reverse" theory is predicated on there being no large-scale disaster (war, famine, etc...).

The way things are going, that predicate is rather unlikely.
"Full stack" is "Full of shit", no exceptions.

One can not excercise all of the "full stack" competencies daily or even weekly. Without that they wither.

So anyone claiming they're "full stack" competent in any arbitrary field are lying, period.

That is all there is any need to know about "full stack".
If I was a restaurant starting up I’d just buy my first 20 reviews. Tell customers they get a free appetizer if they leave a review on Yelp (any review, any stars).

Sucks that’s the world we live in but it’s so obviously true and it’s the best investment a new restaurant can make.
I think communication overhead works against this, because it is a very big overhead for programming.

If one or two people can build a feature all the way through, getting help and advice from the experts in each area as necessary, then you can save a lot of time and are more likely to end up with a coherent design.

Also, how can you know what a good backend design looks like if you have no experience of consuming it on the front end?

I think if you're a web developer you should really build a web site all the way through at least once, even if you later forget the details about a lot of those stages.
Also, the 1st party support and integration is something that makes me go back. For example, being able to create a new note directly from the control center on iOS. And paired with faceID it’s seamless even when doing it from a locked screen.

Although it sucks that other developers do not get to offer their shortcuts.
Thank you. Yes, that's the point.
Deployment architecture does not define monolithic.

The empirical example is that, say, Shopify and Basecamp both described their applications as monolithic.

However, there's a more comprehensive demonstration, in that we can't define "box" without contradiction. When you consider the many shells of virtualisation we use, the fact that any web application is by definition accessed over a network (and therefore distributed), and the internal architecture of a modern server, which is practically a distributed federation, or even the coordination between threads in a single process, it leads inevitably to contradiction (if you're careful) or just a messy quagmire of conflicting definitions.

The final nail in this dichotomous coffin is that the converse is also untrue, since any microservice-based application can be deployed on one box. Whichever way you look through the scope, deployment model turns out orthogonal to the taxonomy of software architecture.
