johntelleron What to expect from your framework

I was interviewed for a job a few days back and I was told that these heavy JavaScript libraries are the future of the web. I'm still confused.

Either my country is just behind or what you read on hackernews is not reflective of the real world.

johntelleron Can video games change people’s minds about the climate crisis?

Because the disaster we're heading into is backed by laws of physics that have been proven again and again over centuries. It's not possible to come up with arguments to "push back" against it. If you think it is, you simply lack the level of required scientific education to understand what is going on.

johntelleron Germany locks down unvaccinated people, as leaders plan to make shots compulsory

I'd be more open to getting vaccinated when I see people actively making use of hand sanitizers in stores. When people learn to cover their whole faces with their masks. When they learn to keep distance. Vaccinated people who are old, sick or born with bad luck in the genetic lottery are still at risk. Vaccination doesn't mean people can go back to doing whatever they want. The vaccination itself can be a risk to certain individuals too. It's ludicrous to expect everyone to get the shot for the rest of their lives and call that situation a success because "at least everyone is vaccinated".

If you want to force vaccination, start with the people that have a history of covid infection. Why piss the people off that have been actively avoiding to come into contact with the virus and carrying it around?
