Reddit: As the rest of Europe slowly dies out, France abounds with babies. Why?

"because most of our modern societies function pretty much like a
pyramid scheme and relies on growth; think about social security for
instance, but even purely commercial ventures requires a continual
growth... on the long term we are screwed, unless we find a truly
sustainable economic model."

Slashdot: No More Coding From Scratch?

"In the science fiction novel, 'A Deepness in the Sky,' Vernor Vinge
described a future where software is created by 'programmer archaeologists'
who search archives for existing pieces of code, contextualize them, and
combine them into new applications. So much complexity and automation
has been built into code that it is simply infeasible to build from scratch.

While this seems like the ultimate code reuse fantasy (or nightmare), we
think it's starting to happen with the availability of Open Source software.
We have observed a number of projects where software development is
driven by the identification, selection, and combination of working software
systems. More often than not, these constituent parts are Open Source
software systems and typically not designed to be used as components.
These parts are then made to interoperate through wrappers and glue
code. We think this trend is a harbinger of things to come.

What do you think? How prevalent is this approach to new software development?
What do software developers think about their projects being used in such
a way?"

Rundgren: Songs will cost about a dollar."

edge.org - A Short Course In Thinking About Thinking

"The correlation between what the change that actually happened in their ta-
stes and the change that they predicted was absolutely zero.

It turns out—this I think is now generally accepted—that people are not good
at affective forecasting. We have no problem predicting whether we'll enjoy
the soup we're going to have now if it's a familiar soup, but we are not good
if it's an unfamiliar experience, or a frequently repeated familiar experience."

r - TIL that the idea for Interstellar came from a physicist and
a film producer who knew each other from a blind date set up
by Carl Sagan


"Just before his retirement, Thorne and film producer Lynda Obst, whom
he'd known since Carl Sagan set them up on a blind date three decades
earlier, were playing around with an idea for a movie that would involve
the mysterious properties of black holes and wormholes."

techcrunch - Apple's AI if by Air

"Pairing the AirPods is incredibly easy, thanks to the W1 chip. The method
is so easy in fact that Apple does not use the word pairing anywhere in its
instruction manual - using the word 'connect' instead. It's marketing, but it's
also a fair differentiation between the baroque drama that is most Bluetooth
pairing sessions and the process of connecting AirPods."
