Too many people think that animals just exists in the current state for ever. When in reality it is a dynamic system that once changed cannot be brought back.</p>

<p>> It’s the story of two sides.. American artists and the religious right<p>That is such a simplification that is just a lie. The two sides are capital and the working class. Because their interests are opposite of each other. There are religious people that are very progressive. There are artists that are far-right. Why create artificial groupings when the economic reality and power dynamics are there for everybody to see.<p>"Culture wars" is always about keeping people distracted and hide the class war. I have more in common with a right-wing religious working class man that with any progressive billionaire.</p>

<p>> Most founders in these accelerators must be fairly young? Therefore, most of them have never developed real applications without tools like Lovable even if they're technical founders.<p>Why do investors put their money in companies create by people that have never developer even a real application?<p>50 years ago most people in the field were newbies because the field itself was totally new. So, all founders lacked experience as no-one had experience. Has not that changed? Aren't any software experts that can create new products anymore?</p>

And all that profits are now private instead of helping to fund the country.</p>

<p>> The “Social-Communicative” level barely changed in size. But nearly a quarter of the words in the 1953 list are gone, and 39% of the 2023 words are new. Humble, loyalty, fellowship, generous, polite, and companionship gave way to community, identity, organization, ethnic, gender, and narrative. ...It offers fewer words for the people directly around you, but more for belonging at a distance.<p>I would blame inequality on this one. In a more unequal world tribalization is a survival strategy and language follows.<p>When you see everybody else as your equals then focusing on describing that individual person, instead of their group, makes more sense.<p>Economic inequality affects deeply how we think about others.</p>

Most game developers will never create a 3d engine while 80s developer will do their, 2d engines, by themselves.<p>Assembly was created to be able to create any kind of applications. In the 50s that made sense, not in the 80s.</p>

<p>As someone living in Stockholm I find this very interesting. A football field, or a rose garden are very good public infrastructure, and I will never argue against them. But I love to go around Stockholm forests. Yes, these are not parks but forests with wildlife, hiking paths, and nature all around. That connection with nature cannot be replaced with any kind of facilities.<p>> A lake in the middle of a big city that you can simply get into is not a normal thing.<p>Stockholm is a big city (for European standards) in the middle of a lake. So, this is probably very difficult to emulate for other cities. Sadly around Sweden, trees that have been harvested for wood are replaced with low quality forest that do not meet biodiversity targets.<p>> I also feel like during the winter, even though the park looks amazing under snow or fog, there are not many things to do.<p>Parks are amazing and we should have more in our cities. I see people hiking and running in the forest all year round. Forests and nature are better than parks to bring a pace of mind and mindfulness that cannot be replaced by anything else. And they usually are free, so everybody can enjoy them independently of their economic situation. But each steps forward is a welcome step. And parks are also needed.</p>

<p>C++ was designed as an universal way of writing low level system code. It has some abstractions above C, but still allowing for all kinds of optimizations. (Think using a class vs a template, similar abstraction different impact).<p>To use C++ to code user programs is the actual mistake.<p>Think about assembly. Should assembly also be safe in all calls? That will make everything slower, and consume way more energy. Will you blame assembly if people used it to create a phone app and it had memory leaks? Or will you blame the developer for using assembly in the first place?<p>C++ is a tool designed for a range of purposes. There is a push to make it an universal language that makes everything well. But engineering is about making compromises.<p>For your use, C++ may be the wrong language. I do not disagree with you. But maybe you should be using another language instead. Or we should create a new language that fills the sweet spot that C++ covers, and then evolve C++ to be the safe language that you want. One way or another, it is a compromise.</p>
