Of course we are not going to replace all planes, that's why I just said "replacing planes with trains AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE". High speed trains are better suited than planes for short flights (less than two hours); that's the reason the EU is banning short flights when high speed trains are available. And my experience is that those trains are more enjoyable, since you board them as you would board a bus (no security checkpoints or limitations here), they are less bumpy, never make you sick, are extremely punctual, and they always work (no suspended trains ever).
It's sad that the US seems unable to build high speed railways. Seems a perfect place for them.
You must be kidding. Every medium to big web application uses many external libraries. Why should they not?
If I were to tell a client that I am going to charge him 3 months of development, instead of adding a well know free small nicely working library, I would lost a client. Moreover, a library that has been tested and refined during years by thousands of developers is very likely to work much better than anything I can deliver in 3 months.
I try to avoid bloating my apps adding libraries mindlessly, but definitely there is a place for them. For example, if I have to display a complex interactive 3D element, I'm not making a 3D engine from scratch for it, unless I have strong reasons to do so.
If you have the budget and the time to never use any kind of libraries, be my guest. But don't even dream that the rest of us have that luxury, nor the inclination.

Why are you so hostile to using libraries? It is what everybody has been doing for rich text editing since rich text editing on the web became a thing. Reinventing the wheel never was a good engineering practice.
Battery technology has made huge advances in the last 20 years, and will make much more in the next 20. Battery powered drones are getting bigger and bigger. And clean electricity is getting cheaper each year, so unless the tendency is reversed, it will be dirt cheap sooner or later. Anyway, one of the main strategies for zero CO2 is replacing planes with trains as much as possible; most of flights can be avoided that way.
Yes, solving the concrete emissions may take a long time, but certainly not forever.
Recycling can minimize mining, processes can get better, and if emitting methane in the process end up being unavoidable, well, mines seem good places for carbon capture to me.
The carbon we exhale, well, never was the problem, and it never will be, as long we stop destroying forests.
My point is sequestration should be a cleaning strategy (in order to reduce the CO2 already in the atmosphere), and not a compensating strategy to avoid cutting emissions (because then the cleaning is going to take forever, or, more likely, never happen).
<Input> is for one line of plain text only, with no wrapping.
If you need multiline and line wrapping too, you should use <textarea>.
If plain text is not enough, there is contenteditable; but usually is a pain to manage, so if you can't avoid this requirement, you better use one of the many libraries for editing rich text.
Short term? Sure.
Long term? I can’t see why not. I mean, sooner or later transport will be 100% electric and the grid will not burn anything. Extracting minerals will never be really green, but neither will require burning something forever. And recycling is always getting more efficient. Manufacturing some things require emitting gases, but there is a lot of research underway to avoid it altogether.
Assuming current technical limitations are permanent is not a good way to predict the future. Even worse if those limitations are heavily researched in order to overcame them.
Given that ads barely earn money nowadays, I'm starting to think they are using this as a way to raise prices without losing low income subscribers.
And you don't even need to be a real singer:
Some of the contestants: Israel, Morocco, Australia.
Being European is cool, but not really a requirement.
If we want to really fix this mess, we need to apply the same criteria to the atmosphere as to any other polluted area. You first stop throwing shit at it, then clean it.
Net zero, even it wasn't a lie, means perpetuating the problem.
I don't think that is legal, at least in the EU.
But whatever. They can always pay the fine. Or apply it only to non-EU residents.
La mayoría de los alemanes no se enteraron de los campos de exterminio hasta que acabó la guerra.
La mayor parte de la gente con la que hablo que vivió el franquismo (que no la posguerra) me cuenta que del 90% de las cosas que hizo Franco no se enteraron hasta los 80 o más allá. Que lo único que les contaban era que salvó a España del comunismo y que inauguraba pantanos. Y que, por supuesto, nadie les explicó que era el comunismo. No vaya a ser que se volvieran comunistas.
Yo diría que haber vivido una dictadura sólo te habilita para hablar de cómo lo viviste tú y para de contar.
Por otra parte, el concepto de comunista se ha estirado tanto, sobre todo desde la derecha, que hasta Reagan va a ser comunista cualquier día de estos.
It was good in the 90s. But in the last 25 years it has been worse than not having an antivirus. At least with a virus you have a chance to delete it without having to format your drive.
Everyone with a brain knew this was going to happen sooner than later. They only doubt was when. Excellent news.

I really dig the tire spikes idea. Whoever implements it has my vote.
I have just watched the talk. English is sort of an acquired taste for me, to the point sometimes I have trouble understanding this kind of talks, but got yours fine, congrats. Funny reading in the automatic subs about a strange language with a randomly changing name: love, loves, lover, liver...
A nice and very informative perspective, kudos to you.
Tried TypeScript and Python and, frankly, it seems the worse of the two worlds to me.
The main gripe I have with Python is it doesn't force you to declare your variables. It was a terrible idea in old Basic, and still a terrible idea in Python. You are always a typo away of creating a new variable when you really are trying to change a value.
I find much more cumbersome TS typing than Java or C#; a great part of it is compatibility with JS forces weird kind of types to exist, some of the worst are DOM related (!). Java and C# have very simple and straightforward typing.
Besides, typing in Java and C# guarantees autocomplete and refactoring always work like a charm; but in Python and TS it is pure hit and miss (obviusly, a part of it is because you didn't especify a type; but many times it is because it hasn't found types for a library, or it got lost in your code). Java and C# were designed with this in mind; Python clearly not, and TS tries hard, but being JS compatible makes it impossible. They get much more mistakes at compile time, too, which saves a lot of time.
Never touched Lua, but after years of suffering the JS/TS dilema, I find nice the speed and creativity that carefree JS gives, and feel very constrained by TS. On the other hand, I enjoy C# strong typing, reflection and restrictions, mainly because it has really great IDEs that make autocomplete, hints and heavy refactoring a real joy. Which TypeScript promises too, but never fully delivers.
I fully understand your point. When you are a lone coder, having a very flexible and forgiving language is really nice. When you are in a big team, with a big code base, you need the restrictions, and powerful and absolutely reliable tools for refactoring and diagnosing bugs. Even more if you are expected to maintain that code for decades.
I really love the reflection capabilities of .NET. Seems like magic sometimes.
Who knows. Long term, they can try to devore Unity undercutting it, and once they are dead return to their old ways, or imitate them knowing they are not going to lose clients to them.
They getting bad in a month, a year or 2 years is more or less the same if you need 3 years to develop your game, anyway.
Lovr seems nice. I'd love (pardon the pun) to know how it works for you.
