Uh.. Ah... "Said"
Si algún día pasas por España, avisa antes, para que huya al extranjero.
Dejar claro a todos tus vecinos que en cuanto acabes con Ucrania igual les haces lo mismo a ellos no es la mejor forma de motivarles a apreciar más tu lengua y tu cultura.
Que los rusos se quejen de ser víctimas de un agresivo nacionalismo de carácter chovinista indica que hace mucho que no se miran en el espejo. O que tienen una cara de cemento armado.
At my office we are remoting 4 days a week. The rationale of forcing us to go to the office the one day is it makes us a better team. Guess which day is the one we talk less to each other. The office looks like a cemetery, all the people looking at their screens, barely moving.
I find the same issue with that kind of libraries. You take something that seems standard and easy, find a nice library for it, and it never does exactly as you want/need, unless you are willing to write more code to coerce it than you would have to write first place.
I try to avoid using big UI frameworks; they make easy the easy things, but harder the hard ones, so they are the opposite of what I want. They end feeling like a straitjacket.
The libraries I find really useful are the ones that give very specialized functionality that would be crazy to implement by myself (e.g. 3D engines) or are really flexible (jQuery in its time, Vue, React...). I want freedom and being more capable, not more limitations.
Visto que el gobierno chino se hace llamar comunista y:
- Su sistema político es igualmente una dictadura de partido único, que en China se está perfeccionando de tal forma que ya hubiera querido Franco tener algo así.
- Su sistema económico es ya un capitalismo de amiguetes de Xi de manual, con una explotación laboral rampante que ríete de lo de Franco.
Yo diría que Franco era más socialista que Xi.
Lo que demuestra, claro, que China tiene de comunista lo que los cerdos de Rebelión en la Granja de obreros.
Pobrecicos especuladores, que como lo crypto ya no tira, se han tenido que dedicar a especular con la vivienda y encima hay gente quejándose de que los tengan vacíos. Pero qué se han creído. Que son especuladores, no caseros. Faltaría más.
In your hateful neighbor wallet.
Funny. in Spanish, "kikiriki" is the onomatopoeia of the sound a rooster makes at dawn.
Peanut is "cacahuete".
Around here everybody used masks when it was mandatory. Nowadays, they seem to have become allergic to masks. I understand government here: they are frightened people are not going to obey them if they try to bring them back.
It is a bit of a lame excuse, but, really, what kind of power has any government to control any disease if people chooses to ignore them? Or anything else?
In fact, the pandemic has been much worse in countries where people distrust their own government. When the people chooses to ignore public health measures, people die.
I think they are waiting until it gets really scary, so people will not have to be convinced of the need (or it gets better, and there is no need). The same lame strategy as always, because nobody has learned anything.
Adding a big library only to get something as trivial as a resizable panel makes as much sense as buying a car to cross the road. Adding a small one is like buying a skate.
I mostly renounced to bags for groceries a long time ago, using a backpack or a shopping cart for most of it. I keep them only for the unavoidable, like fish or meats, for example.
About performative sacrifices, I think we all agree here. That's why the emphasis on net zero worries some of us: because many people is using that concept as a excuse to make performative sacrifices only, or even less.
NFT and crypto are a sort of pyramidal scheme with a gigantic carbon footprint. Your argument is like comparing a pebble to Mount Everest. Moreover, even ignoring environmental issues, NFTs are indistinguishable of a massive scam, so they are despicable any way you take it. There is no way NFTs can move us forward; they are a form of parasitism, and nothing else. The sooner they die, the better.
Buen vídeo; mi interpretación personal viene a ser la misma.
La verdad es que es una película que me genera ambivalencia. El problema es que intenta hasta tal punto contentar a todo el mundo que realmente es un test de Rorchach: pienses lo que pienses del feminismo, lo más probable es que encuentres una interpretación de la película que se ajuste bastante a tu punto de vista, hasta el punto de que la película entera se puede interpretar también como que las feministas son una banda de locas que quieren convertir el mundo en un matriarcado de descerebradas en el que los hombres queden reducidos a menos que mascotas. Es aquella gilipollez de "ni machismo ni feminismo, igualdad". Con lo que no me acaba de cuadrar como peli con mensaje.
Tampoco nos vamos a engañar: al igual que la película de Lego o la de Mario, se trata de un vehículo comercial para vender juguetes. Bastante que en los 3 casos nos han dado una película bien hecha, divertida, y que da para darle alguna vuelta a la cabeza.
Preocupante, eso sí, que las dos películas más taquilleras de este año sean, en el fondo, dos anuncios de juguetes. Uuuy.
There may be a cultural divide here: I mostly work for government funded projects, to the point I have never had to put an ad on one of my projects. Our clients frequently to require using some libraries, some in-house developed, some third-party.
About libraries, I try use them only when the cost-benefit ratio is very clear.
For example, I avoid premade UI component toolkits, because in practice they are a bit of a scam: they are helpful at first, but in the long run they may be a terrible burden.
Pity my main client is starting to enforce one of them (a third party paid one, if you can believe it), as a (probably misguided) way to enforce consistent UX.
Really, really hate when people reduces everything to all or nothing. Nothing gets done.
The nearer we get to zero carbon, the easier will be to get net zero, will not? Even if we fail, it is a worthy goal.
Moreover, all that is required for net zero will be needed if we want to clean the atmosphere, too.
So trying to get zero carbon and net zero are not mutually exclusive, they are complementary, in fact.
The point that started this thread is net zero should not by any means used as a excuse to not reduce emissions as much as possible. Mainly because people is already cheating with that. Also, because carbon capture is going to be much more expensive and damaging than reducing emissions, in the long run. If we are going to create huge carbon sinks to clean the air, that is going to be hard, the less we need, the better.
True, right-of-way is not nearly as strong in Europe, fortunately, or we couldn't get most of our ways done.
I agree none of this is easy, but big problems are meant to be solved. That's the way a society gets forward.
I agree a coast to coast high speed railway seems unlikely. But a Boston to Miami, for example, doesn't seem so hard. 500 km can take easily 2 hours for this kind of train, so I imagine Boston-NY would take even less than that.
High speed railways are always built from scratch. They have to, since they need to be much, much more straight than the traditional ones to avoid derailing. They are very expensive to build and requiere to expropriate a lot, so they are built by governments, at least around here. They started being luxury trains for passengers only, but nowadays there are low cost trains and freights too.
