  • It’s grim, but think about it like this. If you were in the gardening industry, wouldn’t it be good for business if your neighbor started a garden in their yard? Even if you weren’t directly in the gardening industry they may want to buy things like decorations to go out there. More time outside? Sun screen and bottled water are things you’ll need. Plastic bad for the environment? Get this new reusable water bottle that everyone is using!

    It’s similar with war. It’s not so much that it’s the killing specifically, but regardless, it’s a massive endeavor that needs lots of supplies. Think about all of the logistics involved in shipping someone overseas and maintaining them there. Even if companies do it for cheaper, they’re not going to do it at a loss. The same way we see companies getting excited to cash in on the AI craze, we’ll see companies excited to try and extract whatever possible value they can out of war.

    And honestly, same thing with genocide.






  • What’s the difference? I rarely use Python and every time I do I have to relearn which tools are the go to ones. In Java it’s a little simpler, we really just have Maven and Gradle. They have their own problems, sure, what tool doesn’t, but the thing that annoys me about python is the quantity of tools. There often isn’t a clear winner.

    Now, to be fair to python, a lot of the ones mentioned on this post are very specifically for data science use cases and not general purpose development.
