An Unfamiliar World
ecosophia.net — Last month’s post on the future of warfare in the deindustrial era mentioned in passing one of the most significant factors changing the world we know to one that most of us have never even imagined. That factor is demographics: in particular, the immense shift now under way from growth to contraction in human numbers worldwide. Nearly everyone alive today grew up hearing about the population boom; it requires a major shift in mental gears to adjust to the imminence of the population bust. UNFAMILIAR, 5

Zig-style generics are not well-suited for most languages
typesanitizer.com — Too long; didn’t read: Zig’s compilation scheme for generics
shares a lot of similarities with C++, and hence the pitfalls too.
Such a compilation scheme is not well-suited to all languages,

Zig-style generics are misguided.

How GoFundMe Perpetuates Myths of Merit and Deservingness
mit.edu — It all started when Hannah’s friend from church, Allison, posted a frantic note on Facebook that her young son Beckett had been hit and run over by a car while playing outside. (The names used in this article are pseudonyms to protect the individuals’ privacy.) Beckett was life-flighted to a nearby trauma center with multiple organ failure. Hannah kept checking in, asking what she could do, and after a few days she asked if anyone had offered to set up a GoFundMe. “No, no one’s even thought of that,” Allison replied. She was grateful for the help, exhausted by constantly providing updates and answering questions about Beckett’s status and of course worried about the medical bills. HOW, 16
