This is a terrible take. It sounds like the author is projecting their inadequacies.

There are countless examples of people living off the grid, even for their entire lives.

I’ve lived off the grid. It’s hard, you’re always exhausted you’re constantly having to work to get food and fire. And if you’re in the wilderness, you have to do all that while trying not to injure yourself because help won’t come. This means “going around” obstacles instead of trying to negotiate them. Often, “going around” means additional miles, which means additional calories, which means additional work.

Perhaps they should have made a stronger point about the futility of millions of people doing it:

- First, millions of people wouldn’t want to do it. They want comfort. They want media and social media and consumerism.

- Resources are more scarce, because people must produce them.

- People are soft, used to the comforts that civilization provides them.

- People are untrained and often terrified of nature, that very thing they are an apart of.

Edit: it seems prudent to point out that normal people get their kicks by just going camping. If you are considering going to live in the woods, try starting with short, two-day camping trips and gradually increase the days so that you can take notes and improve your skills and equipment.

Prepping is hard. I've had the privledge of having access to enough land to theoretically grown enough food for me and my family. Howver, it isn't trivial. This year was a prolonged winter, which delayed planting. This summer was incredibly hot, which has been devasting on our crops. Also... the grashoppers this year have been insane, like nothing I've ever seen. If we were going at it alone, we might not be making it through the next winter. Haha.
Making plastic straws is not energy-intensive and the miniscule amount of electricity used can be trivially obtained from renewables.

> Perception is reality

Like most clichés, this is easy to say, but hard to apply. It is imprecise and does not capture its own limitations. These three words don't move us forward; we shouldn't fixate on them; we must move beyond them.

Reality exists without perception. It benefits us to clarify the difference. Here are some clearer statements that reflect current philosophical and scientific knowledge:

1. We only perceive a small, incomplete, distorted portion of reality.

2. Human perception is a flawed but useful error-corrected simulation designed to help us survive.

2. Perceptions and beliefs strongly influence individual behavior.

3. Behavior is constrained by reality (perceived or not, believed or not).

4. Over a sufficiently long time scale, individuals and groups who understand reality have a survival advantage.

5. Perceptions can deviate from reality for arbitrarily long time periods.
Ask HN: Best Languages from Refactoring Perspective
Java is an obvious candidate with IntelliJ support, but one can also argue from the opposite direction that, it is too verbose to refactor.

Or does Kotlin strike the right balance between verbosity and refactor-ability?

Perhaps Go/Rust hits the perfect middle ground for you?

Do share experiences with JS/TS/Dart as well if relevant.

Are there any views/opinions in the area, from personal experience, and also from theoretical angles?

> I've always thought of the JVM as magical technlogy--I'm certainly not alone in that view. But in trying to learn more about it, I was greatly frustrated by the difficulty of reading the code base.
As you likely know, the Hotspot JVM is open source. But reading the code is very difficult, in part because it grew organically and in part because of its unusual design, in which many actions are buried deep at the end of a long series of function calls involving unexpected classes and unusual methods, etc.

> This led me to thinking there would be value in a JVM written as a single cohesive codebase. And given that there is a 300+ page JVM specification and a reference implementation, I thought to myself, how long could this take? Two years later, and with help from two major contributors, we're still finding out! ;-)

> Eventually, we hope, it will be a fun/interesting experience for users to pop open their Go IDE and watch a Java program execute--which is why we're intent on making sure it's written in 100% go.

I wrote it as what I’ve observed in others more than myself but did use “I” for simplicity of authoring the examples.

But I do work in a fast paced quick turn around time environment, and a lot of people do this even instead of being transparent about deadlines and importance of urgency; they wonder what’s taking so long. It’s felt at the executive level and why the RTO thing is decided upon by those.

I honestly also think framing it as a trust issue as the zoom ceo did was weird. I don’t think that’s the right word, but I’m trying to analyze the meaning of someone else’s words like everyone here.
Wouldn't the Amish community be considered the "Amish grid". I think the point of the article is trying to make is that you still need some type of community and a chain of production of some sort, someone is the carpenter, another is the smith, etc.
I prefer to see it as regular signals designate the next segment as a segment where trains are allowed to wait. If you don't want trains to stop in that segment, don't put a regular signal in front of it.

And of course you don't want trains stopping on intersections, because they'll block everybody, so you always put chain signals in front of intersections.
It's also worth noting that evolutionary biology tends to lag behind technology quite a bit so while reduced birth rates might be desirable for society as a whole, individuals may still have a natural urge to want to have children. Balancing that societal need with individuals desires might be a bit tricky. We're sort of on the opposite side of that fence right now with birth rates, so it's certainly possible things could just naturally align. I suspect declining birth rates right now aren't entirely due to individual desired choice, however.

The issue is "water rights". In Western states, somebody owns that water already. The rain might fall on your house, but it normally flows into some creek/stream/river where the legal and moral rights to that water belong to someone else. Capturing that water is legally considered theft. In Colorado, for example, every bit of river water was allocated to someone before Colorado became a state.

One book that covers the history of water projects in the US is Cadillac Desert [0]. We have this cultural myth that all we need is a little more water to make the desert bloom. And as a country, we've wasted trillions of dollars diverting rivers for agricultural use. Agricultural users of water pay almost nothing for their water while using enormous amounts of taxpayer funding to do so. Utah and Arizona have recently had droughts where water consumption by private citizens was limited.

There are several crops that use enormous amounts of water, the one receiving attention is alfalfa. 82% of Utah's water is consumed by agriculture. The UT governor owns a farm that grows alfalfa for export. Instead of cutting back on his own farm's water consumption, he's been on radio & TV telling Utahns to pray for rain. Arizona has had some recent news stories about Saudi companies growing alfalfa in AZ and exporting the hay to Saudi Arabia. Alfalfa consumes so much water that growing it in Saudi Arabia is illegal. Amusingly, `alfalfa` is an Arabic word. The issue with AZ & UT is that there is plenty of taxpayer subsidized water to grow alfalfa for export while simultaneously rationing residential water consumption.

KidsAIStory: Generate illustrated children’s books with AI
Hello! Dad of a small kiddo here and creator of KidsAIStory.

I started using AI to generate bedtime stories on topics my child was interested in. It was a huge hit! Since I started doing this, my child has requested more and more AI stories. At the start, I was generating text only and reading it, but I thought it would be really cool to have AI draw the illustrations for the stories too. I put together a web app and the rest was history...

Sounds a bit just so? In my arguably not prepared home just in my sight line I see 4 different ways to improvise implements to open a can if I need to. Not counting the two manual can openers I have for just that task.

Can openers were invented way after cans were invented. People just used chisels.
