carno··on Health Effects of Coffee
I love the flavor of black coffee. TBH I enjoy the flavor and the ritual of coffee making much much more than the caffeine kick (which is nice too). I'd actually drink more than one coffee cup a day if it weren't for the side effects.

No, decaf is a sin.

Article is disingenuous as fuck. Glad to see so many good comments here.
carno··on Climate Change is real and you can prevent it. Be the change
Thanks, I hate this handwaving going around. People simply don't want to compromise their lifestyle.

The China emits 29% of the global CO2 emissions, a country of 1.4 billion people where most of our goods are manufactured.

The US emits almost 15%, half of china, with less than a fourth of the population were most of the goods are imported. This lifestyle is not sustainable.

Ofc, but what better way to make the masses conscious than making them part of it. Also, why do you need the government to limit you before you do something?

- Do you need the government to start issuing flight hour quotas before you start flying less? - Do you need the government to ban short flights before you start using alternative transport methods more? - Do you need the government to impose a high meat tax before you start consuming less?

You can do both, you can start doing your part AND push for political action. Saying "this is meaningless" is just a justification to not do anything yourself and put the blame on someone else. An excuse for inactivity.

carno··on Is it still ok to have kids in face of climate change?
Not sure I get your point. I don't think it's weird at all. Because:

- That happens to every country - One in three top US professors educated overseas https://www.timeshighereducation.com/news/one-in-three-top-u... - Most of their classmates will be foreign students too https://www.insidehighered.com/quicktakes/2017/10/11/foreign...

Thank you, it seems like everyone is interpreting it like humanity should stop existing.

The point is to slow down the population growth, by not having kids, and improve a bit the predicted future for those who do end up having kids.

carno··on Is it still ok to have kids in face of climate change?
So the key is giving more kids those opportunities. Not just some kids.
carno··on Is it still ok to have kids in face of climate change?
Exactly? Education happens in school, college, friends, community and, partially, at home.

The concept that "my kids" are better than other people kids because they are like me is extremely silly on many levels. They might not share your ideals and even if they do, it promotes a single line of thinking.

No

Are you implying kids of "smart, educated, motivated person" will contribute more than kids of people who don't fall into your arbitrary definition?

This was a great read. The step by step along with the videos make this super engaging even if this not my area of expertise.
carno··on Retro-Gaming Enthusiasts Are Getting It All Wrong
So a whole page to say "these screenshots should be 4:3 instead of 16:9"?

This has to be the most millennial article ever written. Self centered and full of bad advices.

"[...] was the most abundant animal to be found 145 million years ago, in what is now the Aysén region of Patagonia."

I read that as it was the most abundant animal found in the region.

I prefer divvy over spectacles.

carno··on Ask HN: RubyMotion or Swift?
You guys are right, forgot that RM compiles to objc. Then it might work!

Even then, when making a game you want to stand on the shoulders of a good development community, go with the biggest community for iOS. So far it seems to be Unity.

carno··on Ask HN: RubyMotion or Swift?
Don't go with Ruby for game development. Much less with RubyMotion.

I love Ruby, I have made games with Ruby using Gosu and it simply wouldn't work on a mobile device. The GC will kill you app and create random frame drops.

Playstation Mobile http://www.playstation.com/psm/index_e.html

No devkit, just download the SDK and run on your PC. It's free to try and costs $100 year to deploy to devices and actually self publish your game.
