1) People rejecting the argument that cost is the reason for falling birth rates have some fundamental misunderstanding of economics I want to address. How is the argument valid if we are richer today in GDP terms than in the past? Let me explain why.

@chase_kania @KyivIndependent Fair or not, it would still be the perfectly rational thing to do. In the end it would save us money. A war that drags on will cost enormous sums of money for the whole world economy. We should not be holding back on weapon deliveries.

Researchers had had it with #Fortran and was willing to take a 3x performance hit going with a nice productive language like #JuliaLang . To their surprise, they did not get a performance hit, but a 3x performance BOOST! Julia rocks!

Second myth about #Germany is that the embrace of #wind and #solar power caused a big increase in coal usage. No, the overall picture over the last 20 years is a significant reduction in coal usage. Growth in wind power has been substantial.

@jonwithno_h @mattyglesias How come I encounter so many right-wingers and conservatives on it then? Also plenty of libertarians and classic liberals. I think the American republican party has normalized so much far-right thinking that everybody look crazy leftist in relation to them.

@StonewallArthur @mouthy_mom_ I am not an older woman but I think this is relevant. It isn’t good for either gender. It lowers respect for both men and women. And all this talk of lonely you men. Well that is because women are with older men. It is all connected.

@iheartorangeman @ElijahSchaffer You can drill a well in a more automated fashion. Look at this video from 1.38. We also have similar system for mobile rigs in Norway. But I noticed when living in the US that they automate less there. More manual work.

@Right2BeReal @Sethrogen @SenTedCruz It is not entirely unreasonable since Ted Cruz enabled a political leader, Donald Trump, with many clear fascist tendencies. Cruz has been aiding an abetting a man with clear autocratic tendencies, which tried to upend a democratic election.

Getting some perspective on how crazy fast renewable energy is growing. #solarpower in particular improves at a pace similar to other semi conductors. Thus solar power improve at similar rate to how computers have improved. Hydropower and nuclear is more like cars and houses.

@Noahpinion It is what my late Norwegian grandfather told me about introduction of social democracy in Norway. For him the most important thing was the working man not having to hold out his hat to get handouts and pity. Instead we got universal often automatic rights, not means tested.

Build systems in C/C++ generally suck. Even if you want to stick with #cpp or #clang learning #ZigLang just to get a superior, faster and easy to use build system for existing projects may be worth it. It solves cross compilation and dependencies well

As the popularity of zig cc, more developers may realize Zig is not only a programming language, but also a toolchain to help maintaining C/C++/Zig project. Today I want to discuss one vital part of...

@shi_huang5 @BareNatMatt Sounds like you are the one being political rather than scientific. You cannot judge something as superior simply because it is more complex. You think the most complex car, phone or computer is automatically the superior one? You are trying to find excuses for a political agenda

Why I have found @godot engine as one of the best tools I have ever tried for rapidly developing applications with complex user interfaces, and some reflections on why game engines editors are becoming such good #GUI tools. #programming #RAD .

What Makes Godot Engine Great for Advance GUI Applications

I have been trying out the Godot Game Engine lately, and I have been mightily impressed with what I see.

@1984_Nyt @SenSanders London is one of the most diverse multi cultural cities in the world. Yet fatal police shootings is a rarity there. You are about 100x more likely to be shot in a police encounter in small town USA, than in London. Gun laws and police training is more important.

@differentdoktor @ElijahSchaffer If I use a hammer or a nail gun to get a nail into a wooden board then I achieve the same thing. Am I doing the same thing? Seems like a philosophical question. Point here is that you can substitute muscle power with better training, skills and equipment. Work smarter...

@DrAshleyCureton @OpenAcademics Even if that had been your job this was impolite. A polite person would ask first if you worked there. Not that it makes any sense to ask you unless you where having a uniform or carried equipment that suggested your job was related to cleaning.

@vikushavas I don’t think you can draw that conclusion if you have only lived in American cities. You are still in the same culture, in cities built on similar principles. It would be much different to go to Barcelona, Amsterdam, Tokyo, Singapore, Buenos Aires.
