There's a lot of room for hope - I don't really care* global warming, and I'm getting solar on the house in five years because it's disturbingly cheap and will be driving an electric car because they're less maintenance.

There's going to be a lot of moving away from oil - because refining sludge from the ground and transporting is expensive compared to the competition.

Also... there's a heck of a lot of Nuclear Fusion research going on where I live. I wish them well!

*I do care, but it's in the abstract. I kinda like not living in an ice-age. Normally, the land where my house sits is under 1.5 miles of ice.
> they can sustain me like that but they can't sustain most of the population.

you got lucky. The skills you had was a right fit for the times.

What the gov't needs to do is to up-skill people so that they can provide for themselves. This will take a lot of effort, but i do believe that such investment is worth it. Rather than UBI, or any sort of welfare that encourages people to stop working.
just screw the world and all the fake "human rights" voices all over it, i'll break it to you in a simple way you stupid people out there, imagine you were living in your house which you call home because it was your father's land and house and grandfather's and grand grand father's for centuries, and then suddenly due to some political shit and some shitty word order, your house or "part" of your house was given as a gift to some entity or someone who claims that it's his house not yours, and they have the right to occupy it, you tried to push back but you were overpowered by that shit and his justice league, the rest of the story is known, so please stop accusing people of terrorism, if it is me i'll not stop killing and destroying the intruder untill he is completely wiped out from the planet.

Welp.
The original basis for pretty much all medical treatment was nonsense. Some people noticed some things worked, that got passed down and added to over time, somebody spotted patterns and built up an elaborate theory and then that got passed down as gospel.

The classic example is Hippocrates' theory of the Four Humours. Galen, world-renowned physiologist, elaborated on this by ascribing psychological temperaments to each Humour… To cut a long story short, he taught us that the Central Nervous System controlled the body, and was in turn controlled by the brain (or, at least, the voice was); and that cataracts can be removed with a needle; and that blood provides life-giving energy and nutrition to the body (specifically, heart-generated blood provides energy and liver-generated blood provides nutrition, and blood passes between the chambers of the heart via a blood-permeable interventricular septum); and that men have more teeth than women.

Medicine has moved on since then. If Chiropractors haven't, that's a good argument, but “Chiropractors used to be quacks” isn't a particularly strong argument that they are now.
Wages has roughly stagnated while inflation has driven up the price of goods for a long time in America, yet we didn't do anything to help those who had less and less buying power. They simply had to get another job, or if they couldn't, forgo good shelter and medicine. If you can't afford rent, you get thrown out on the street, that's just life.

Meanwhile, despite this downwards trend that's been shrinking the middle class in America, American industry has actually been booming the last ten years. America is richer than ever before, but it's workers are paid (due to inflation) less than they were.

So it's real hard to emphasize with the businesses who are seeing thinner margins because of higher labor costs.
"We" don't allow them. I take issue with lots of forms of quackery and faith based "let's pretend we're science" organizations. So I agree there are others practicing quackery besides chiropractors out there.
> A disabled lady thought saving some of her disability was the responsible thing to do, despite further impoverishing herself

???

So if I earn £100k/year, and I choose to save all of my income then I am impoverishing myself. Do you understand what saving is?

The UK has this terrible habit, like the US, where people are infinitely jealous of other people. Any benefit that someone else is getting, I want it. You get tax credits, I want them too (even though I am making £50k/year). The result of this situation was/is a "welfare" state that primarily gives money to those who don't need help.

Yes, if you have £18k in savings...you don't need help. Do you understand what being poor is? You are not poor if you have £18k in savings.

In the pandemic, it was utterly appalling to see middle-class people who earn substantial amounts of money complain about not being able to claim benefits. How greedy can you possibly get? And then the Tories bring out a huge wage subsidy scheme that lavishes support on the middle-class support, not five or so years after they tried to squeeze £100/week out of people dying of cancer or who literally cannot work to feed themselves. £4000/month to a middle-class person on hard times...no problem. £70/week to someone dying of cancer or someone is homeless...what a scrounger, unbelievable scrounging, greed.

I am British but Britain is a truly amazing place. In the US, everyone seems to think they are middle-class, even if they are in a two-person household earning $400k/year, they seem to resent being forced to pay for anything. The UK is heading this way quickly but from the other way: Blair introduced universal benefits, everyone has their hand out now, no matter how wealthy.

Also, the purpose of benefits is not to get someone out of poverty. It is to help people who need help. The system has been totally debauched by middle-class people who think it is their "leg up". It is not. Spending should be focused entirely upon people who cannot help themselves (for whatever reason).
This is true in America too.
> lying to themselves that what they provide is of great value to society simply because it is compensated well?

high compensation doesn't require that it is valuable to society - only that it's valuable to the person paying the compensation!

And whether the person paying (aka, an employer) is getting value for money is irrelevant. If they are not getting value for money, they will eventually bankrupt. The invisible hand and all that.

> easily support the needs ... with just a fraction of the workers we have

so you would usurp the labour of those fraction of workers, so that the rest can live off it, work-free? Why would those fraction of workers agree to such exploitation? What's in it for them?
Everyone claims to be "Science based", yet there is an element of faith that one's worldview is the only correct true worldview while other worldviews are "pseudoscience". It's almost is if fundamentalist religions, with priesthood, are claiming to be "Science based" as a way to have authority over the audience's critical thinking.

If you claim to be "Science based" you have to prove it with your actions. Words are not enough...Vitriolic rants only make you look like the kook...
This is an interesting paper in this regard:

Bastin et al, Understanding climate change from a global analysis of city analogues:

https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal...

"Even under an optimistic climate scenario (RCP 4.5), we found that 77% of future cities are very likely to experience a climate that is closer to that of another existing city than to its own current climate. In addition, 22% of cities will experience climate conditions that are not currently experienced by any existing major cities. "

"We notably predict that Madrid’s climate in 2050 will resemble Marrakech’s climate today, Stockholm will resemble Budapest, London to Barcelona, Moscow to Sofia, Seattle to San Francisco, Tokyo to Changsha."

The information might not be new, but the way it is presented is quite tangible, since many people have an understanding of today's conditions in different cities.

Not (A and B) seems obvious to me. If something is a good investment vehicle, it's going to be purchased by speculators. If speculators are competing over a finite resource, the price of the resource will rise above the current utility value of that resource. Speculators have more available capital than an ordinary/median person.

Housing is more affordable the lower its price. It's unreasonable to price housing below the cost to manufacture that housing. (I disagree with this assertion, but it's implied in the parent comment.)

Therefore, housing is most affordable when closest to the replacement cost.

If a house will never sell for greater than the replacement cost, then it is no longer a good investment. If speculators can push housing above the minimum cost, it is no longer maximally affordable. Therefore not (A and B).
Sounds like your work is worth more than you get paid for, then. You are only accepting to do it because you don't want to starve, i.e., it's a decision where one of the parties is under coercion.

A really free labor market would be one where your life is not at risk if you refuse the job offer (as with UBI). In that situation, how much money would convince someone to accept your job? That's the real value of your job.
I play a lot of hockey and in my younger more competitive years I took a very hard hit to my shoulder that severely dislocated my AC joint.

After seeing a couple doctors, they told me I had many months of recovery ahead, probably surgery to fix it. It made no sense to me, no one would touch this huge bump on my shoulder unless they went to cut me open, which would be significant healing time.

I went to a local myopractor on a recommendation, not quite a chiropractor, but along the same vein. They massaged my upper back and shoulder and set my shoulder in first visit, then scolded me for waiting so long to do it in the first place. They had me come back a few more times to monitor it and reset it if need be, and I was back on the ice in 4 weeks.

That was 20 years ago, I weekly see a myopractor now, and I credit them for keeping my adrenaline junky banged up 40 year old body together in good enough condition to keep doing the crazy stuff.
So I don't have the same intuition for desugaring `vec!` that I do for desugaring `for (auto&& blah : blarg)`, but in either case if you desugar it the problem becomes a lot more clear. The Rust borrow checker errors I'm sure become second nature just like the C++ template instantiation ones do, but that is faint praise. To get some inscrutable C++ template instantiation error you have to mess with templates, and that's for people who know what they're doing. In Rust it seems like the borrow checker isn't for pros, it's C++-template complexity that you need to get basic shit done.

C++ is actually a pretty gradually-typed language, and I'm in general a fan of gradual typing. I don't mind that some people prefer BDSM-style typing, but IMHO that goes with GC e.g. Haskell a lot better than it does with trying to print something out or copy it or whatever.
[1] shows pretty convincingly that probability of a dearth due to violence or war has not changed during the last 2000 years.

In a dynamic system anyone who says they know the consequences with a high degree of certitude is blowing smoke.

Oddly the most reasonable course of action is to always paint the worst possible future but it will presumably spur people to greater action. If it turns out to be incorrect there's no harm is there? It's not like we can overreact to climate change.

Summary of the blog post:

- Programming and writing are similar

- In writing you have rules (natural language grammar), in coding you also have rules (formal language grammar)

- In writing you build big things from small things. Small things must be nice. Big things must also be nice. Small things must align with big things. Like coding.

- If you don't write you're lazy. If you don't code you're lazy. Very similar.

- BUT actually writing and programming are completely different because in one you work for years on a single piece which cannot be changed after it's released, so you torture yourself to make sure it's as perfect as it can be without going insane -- and if you give up at any point along the journey then all of your efforts are basically wasted, WHILE in programming you have objective criteria by which you can judge if something is good enough, release working but imperfect parts of the final product along the way, modify things as you see fit at any point, and even if you decide to stop along the way -- it's fine because your progress is incremental
Assuming they've actually made an offer, I agree that it sounds like something they're firm on and, probably, while they might indeed be willing to hire you, they're perfectly fine with their fallbacks.

> A better realisation would have been that one tool isn't going to integrate everything in your business from developing software to dealing with customers billing.

The trend (e.g., ERP and BMS) is definitely toward that in a much deeper way than broad use of JIRA alone represents. The “better realization” is probably more subtle, and involves more respect for the line workers in defining how their work is done and what the requirements are for the components of a broad enterprise-wide automation system that they interact with are, and balancing that with the information preferences at higher levels so that the latter are satisfied (and maybe compromised in some ways) in a way which preserves the ability of the line workers to deliver business value.

But, in either case, not having that realization is management issue, not a tool vendor issue.

Global warming is not binary. We still get to choose the degree of chaos.

The last-ditch effort of carbon capture is still a possibility. And a lot of work in preparation remains as well. The more resilient we can become the less suffering there will be. And some of these things are not even complicated, such as large monocultures being much more susceptible to crop failures for example.

Well, in some sense you could also follow the labour organizations. Look, if you're a poor migrant who just got a hold of a job, would you love the idea of ten others standing in line for that same job, ensuring that you can't ever ask for a raise? No. If you were a rational human being, you'd start voting for the populist anti-migrant parties in your country of residence, like many immigrants are these days. This is proven by the wages in immigration heavy professions, that have been all but standing still for decades now.

Some people even call this effect reverse colonialism. It's when you're not allowed to earn money off colonialism anymore, so you simply invite the impoverished people for similar jobs in your own country instead. What's worse is that many Labour Party equivalents across the West have even been welcoming this change, since they hoped it would make more people vote for them. But now most of them see that this stance has backfired badly for them. Hence many of them are now experiencing the lowest approval ratings in decades, as many now view them as the direct cause for many of the problems Western countries are now experiencing.
I don't think it is.

I belong to a group that has several connections in countries all around Europe due to frequent traveling to dance events. Most of these people post on Facebook in their own language and attend local events.

Outside of this bubble, things are very different. The majority of people never move from where they are born, speak poor English and never travel.

While the people with international connections are surely a relevant amount, and even adding expats that keep contact with friends and family, it's the group with not international connections that I would define as "widespread" and "normal".
They would never do that. Eyeballs for ads are all that matter. Their service is based on quantity, not quality.

There aren't any financial and governmental systems sustaining you, it's you offering what the market wants and can't get enough of. It may be luck in your case, it was calculated choice in my case; most people would be able to make the choice if they really cared to (and sure, let's offer welfare to those who couldn't possibly make this choice). Help other people get in your position or donate your money, but don't force others to sponsor people's resignation.
