New comment by cocoacat in "Should We Decouple Technology from Everyday Life?"

I feel the same way. When my apartment got new locks, we could only unlock the doors with our phone. I refused to download the app, so I had to wait outside until someone could let me in. On a similar note I refused to keep a web browser on my phone because I would use it to constantly check the news or other sites. Every once in a while I had to scan a QR code, but I just quickly downloaded a browser then deleted it. Unfortunately with the new iPhone update you are required to have a browser on your phone. Now I must rely on self-control alone!

New comment by cocoacat in "How plants communicate with each other when in danger"

cocoacat — Sat, 21 Oct 2023 22:55:30 +0000

A book from an environmentalist author that explores similar themes is "Finding the Mother Tree" by Suzanne Simard. I think about the interconnectedness of plants frequently when I walk in the woods now.

New comment by cocoacat in "Strong static typing, a hill I'm willing to die on"

cocoacat — Wed, 04 Oct 2023 18:26:06 +0000

But in my experience I have also experienced the opposite. I have seen people casually reuse variables by reassigning them to a new type or developing a single function that returns different types. With dynamically typed languages it sometimes feels like you can take messy shortcuts because they let you.
