And what do you do with it?

Yes thank you for this clarification. Apologies for my being imprecise. Most of the reading I have done has been related to plants and the use of pesticides to intervene. https://w…

I 100% agree with you. You absolutely "can't resolve this kind of debate by simply saying "foreign bad" or "foreign good" Imagine we discover an alien planet with no predators. Sho…

"Someone in the field"? I'm sorry but an anonymous comment on good reads, should not hold the same weight as a book that references academic papers. In any case it isn't as black a…

I've referenced articles and books in my other comments, and you're calling it myth. Care to cite something that supports what you claim?

The book referenced actually provides numbers on this. Invasives out competing local species is a rarity according to the studies referenced in the book. Here is another perspectiv…

They are 100% doing it. A lot of really bright people work on the engines/compilers. The problem is telling individuals to focus on optimization. Let's use javascript as an example…

I'm sure this is really well intended, but the individualization of environmental guilt is a major problem. [0] Where I agree with the article is to use tools like lighthouse and w…

You don't need to go that far to see fragile splendor. The fragile splendor is here all around us. Svalbard is the canary in the coal mine.

Really great read. Long but worth it. This is a good critique of low-code/no-code in general. The root problem I see of "Unfortunately, when we frame the problem space that way, we…

Yes report the transactions real-time and make them available via publicly accessible api.

The US and Britain aren't saying no to a clean environment - BP, Chevron, and Exxon are.

Doesn't this further centralize something that's supposed to be decentralized?
