Readit NewsWar is a symptom of various causes, like over-population, changing geographical conditions, and just plain old greed. It is not a root cause. If humans had no bloodthirst we would still wage war, so long as we had a will to survive (something which would be difficult to take out of a lifeform).
The actual article only asserts that military innovation is a predictor for social complexity, which is pretty different from saying that "war makes society complex".
> “Nobody likes this ugly idea because obviously warfare is a horrible thing, and we don’t like to think it can have any positive effects.”
The implicit assumption being that a more complex society _is_ a good thing, which is not clear to me.

Where in Denver is this? Am local here and most of the city is dismal for biking safely with kids
They did this in a few places in caphill during covid, 16th and 11th being big examples. The cars have since been allowed back on those roads, though. Someone went tearing down 11th in their jeep at easily 50mph the other day, made me really really miss those days.
The functional requirement here is to take some HTML, parse it and emit slack flavoured markdown.
Involving WASM / Rust / cross compiling stuff and fucking around with a build tool chain should not even be being discussed anywhere as a solution for this. I mean it's fine as a toy but the problem is that half the industry doesn't have any idea what's a good idea and what isn't from an engineering perspective when it comes to solving problems and this will be taken as gospel on how to solve the thing.
What we have here is a Rube Goldberg machine, not a cleanly solved engineering problem.

And what _we_ have here is unfounded indignation over a perfectly fine way to solve a problem. People have been using linked libraries to re-use code across languages since forever, it's fine. This solution isn't very different, it just makes shipping easier.
As a parting comment, "sound software architecture" is not a decided upon principle which can be empirically determined, and if it was we'd all be out of a job.
