> I've no kids, yet (maybe never).

IMO this is short term thinking. What happens to the planet when you are gone? If all the like minded individuals who cared about the climate opt to not have kids, then those who inherit the earth will keep polluting.

IMO it is good that the React team was open into investigating different paradigms. It's a good thing and you rarely see this with other big projects.
Re:Is GitHub Copilot a blessing, or a curse? on Tuesday July 20, 2021 @05:29AM (#27891618)
It is way more nuanced than that. For example if you never redistribute your work that was a fork from GPL code, then GPL states it's ok to never give back the source.

You are likely using the wrong license then.

> In that regard, humanism is essentially nothing else than treating all humans as a single tribe, and it is an extension of the same trend and practice; we know that dissolving the smaller tribes in order the larger tribe stronger works and is possible as we have done that before; though, often the unification was facilitated and driven by external threats.

Sure, but it always comes at the expense of "smaller" tribes. Either in the form of losing their language and culture, or their economic independence. Even within countries you get tribalism in many forms, whether it be accents/dialects or their morality that varies state to state. So making people to conform to a single ideology [in public] only works with tyranny. Of course secretly they resent it.

> So how we perceive morality is something we can learn, and we can pass onto generations, basically recreating the concept of evolution through culture, at a much faster pace.

That does not really work since nothing would stop people from changing their minds years later, especially when it feeds into the human instinct of tribalism. See WW1, WW2, how the nazi party rose, etc.

> We've evolved, and still evolving.

Only if those with non-tribalistic tendencies outbreed the rest of the population.

Re:Are we cut out for universal morality? on Monday May 31, 2021 @08:20PM (#27349518)
There is actually tribalism in the form of economic equality. Rich people only hang out with rich people. Poor only with the poor, etc.

What does a rich person need to do to be segregated from society? Simply go to a expensive restaurant or country club.

Can't wait till it is feature complete and CRA and Nextjs embrace it.

Don't think it works like that. Nothing is stopping other viruses from infecting you while you are infected.

This was Steve Job's personal vendetta actually, he exchanged quite a bit of emails with bloggers/journalist asking why R18+ stuff wasn't allowed on the app store.

He was very much anti-porn.

Well it's more that these sorts of library _can_ live on its own and not be coupled to a core business. Not to mention that in the article they talk about how other open source libraries had some pitfalls.

Medicine is still better paid and better paid universally. Silicon valley is really the outlier here, most of Europe and the world programmers don't get paid that much in comparison.

Re:Humans were drinking milk before they could digest it on Tuesday February 16, 2021 @09:42PM (#26162020)
I think humans in general can eat raw meat. It just doesn't give as much calories compared to cooked meat, plus more chance of diseases which would've been sorted out by the heat if it was cooked.
The iPhone stock camera app also scans QR codes btw, guess most people just don't know since it isn't advertised heavily

Yes, however if Servo was stopped early on due to no "ROI" (like it is the case today). Then those very good improvements would have not been made.
