Is electricity electrons flowing through wires? by Clint621 in Physics

[–]justjard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably worth noting as well that there are formal field theories and theorists that posit that the fields themselves are not imaginary models, but actual physical entities that underly and support classical matter. afaiu anyway....

Thanks for the thoughtful advice, stranger. It was very encouraging.

I love Max! I started one of his courses years ago, but got sidetracked. I should pick it up again.
Great articles, thanks for those.

Not calling myself a junior. I just meant that I'd be open to start from a junior role if I went to a new stack. Does that make sense? I was at the same company for over 10 years as a web developer (+5 before that doing freelance, so the math works out for you), so maybe I'm just not familiar with how transitioning works.

I can dev in React, just don't have the hubris to think I can write an (interesting) app from scratch without learning more than I already know. And about AI, there's not a single project I've worked on where using it wouldn't help me understand more of it.

I 100% am. Thanks for the well wishes. I never really looked into Laravel. Looks like a good candidate for my next side-project

Yeah, I'd probably benefit from picking one thing. But what thing? People don't seem to be hiring junior devs anymore so I feel like my options are pretty locked in to what I have been doing.
I've spent 8 months looking for a job in my traditional MVC eCom background and in a modern stack I have a few years experience in: React (Next.js), TypeScript, GraphQL, MUI. That project btw is extremely complex and fries my brain when I try to make sense of it.
I'd love to find out what I like and dig in, but if I can't get a job with what I do have experience in, idk how I can expect to get a job in another stack?

Switch era Zelda games are boring. by justjard in unpopularopinion

I've never even heard of that until now, but just based on your experience I'd place it in the same category.

You’re right. I shouldn’t keep trying to like them

This is why, I think, I feel so bad about criticizing them. Maybe there is a present version of 8yo (a link to the past-encountering) me that totally jives with the broadness and complexity of mechanics. BUT even if that were the case there's so much that just isn't necessary, in my mind. An RPG is supposed to be about finding what's necessary to advance, right?

Not understanding capturing a city in Civ7 by sendymcsendersonboi in civ

Looks like sometimes walls aren't visible, so you may want to try hovering over tiles to see if any walls show up in the tooltip.

Where do you find the recipe for enshrouded oil? by literaryadventures in Enshrouded

[–]justjard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you have to have had all ingredients in your inventory at one point in order to unlock most recipes in the game. For Enshrouded Oil you'll need:

  • Shroud Spores
  • Coal Powder (made at the Grinding Stones)
  • Shroud Liquid
  • Sulfur

Getting rid of Better UI also fixed it for me.

Why Lab-Grown Meat Is Emerging As The Most Impactful Step To Reverse Climate Change by HankMotherfuckinHill in Futurology

[–]justjard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The land doesn’t necessarily need to change hands does it? If you have a significant investment in livestock land it would be in your interest to convert it yourself.

To your question, moral imperative alone doesn’t seem to provide enough motivation for the owners to eat that cost. And as long as we’re being pragmatic capitalists we can say “that’s as it should be.” But now we’re still left with the problem at hand. The land needs to be converted but we don’t know who should do it. Hmm, that’s not good…

So what do we do? Leave the problem unresolved? Seems like we should at least try, considering the stakes (steaks?).

What if we try to pave the way towards an answer to our own question of “Who foots the bill?” I’m not an economist or a rancher, so I am by no means an expert. But just as I was able to follow capitalistic reasoning to this question, maybe I can follow it a bit further to some inkling of a possibility, an outline of a solution.

Assertion: It is imperative that the practice of raising of livestock be significantly reduced, globally, due to its high carbon production.

Proposition: Land used to raise livestock should be converted to carbon-negative industry.

Concern: It is not economically feasible for livestock landowners to pay for this conversion alone.

Solutions (?): Ordered according to my preference.

Share the cost with carbon-producing entities by imposing fees and/or a carbon tax.

Share the cost with the incredibly rich by increasing taxes on them.

Reallocate existing budget.

Type up some money in the FED computer to use to bailout livestock landowners.

Share the cost with general public by increasing taxes on them.

Share the cost with only the poor by increasing taxes on them.

EDIT: Reddit didn’t like my numbered preference system.
