Similar signals over here.. We have some hard years ahead
<beneroth>
global recession will come
<mtsd>
Undoubtedly
<beneroth>
USA expects unemployment of 42% or more of their population
<beneroth>
US economy is primarily consumption driven...
<mtsd>
More people are losing their jobs here than during the crisis of the 1990's now
<beneroth>
tourism and big events have probably to close down for a few years
<beneroth>
at least (let's just hope we get a vaccine eventually. not guaranteed...)
<mtsd>
Many things are going to change. Some will even disappear
<beneroth>
news things are created, too
<beneroth>
the whole drama is horrible and so stupid, but there are a few positive aspects
<beneroth>
in best case we can keep the momentum and take some effective steps against climate change and the ongoing species mass extinction..
<Regenaxer>
true
<beneroth>
and I just hope we fix the pandemic preparations after this. in general, the likelihood of such events is rising because of the big human population, human/animal proximity and travel speed.
<beneroth>
this is not the big bad one the epidemiologists are warning about since 10+ years
<beneroth>
(yep it could be worse. schlimmer geht immer)
<Regenaxer>
I'm not so pessimistic about the future
<Regenaxer>
It is not like the financial crisis where economic models broke
<Regenaxer>
if a vaccine is found, economy functions again
* beneroth
mumbles something about economy being largely not a true science
<beneroth>
Regenaxer, the problem is, that is a big if
<beneroth>
the current outlook is good, but so it was in the early days of HIV research afaik
<Regenaxer>
Vaccine is a question of time
<beneroth>
probably. also the virus will probably mutate into less severe
<Regenaxer>
Exactly
<Regenaxer>
more like flu, so a vaccine is possible
<beneroth>
it is a complete different virus family
<Regenaxer>
In any case it is good for the climate!
<beneroth>
T
<beneroth>
so lets picolisp away and get some more simplicity and cleverness into software in general :)
<Regenaxer>
yep
<patrixl>
ahha yeah I was saying earlier, these supply chain issues will force people to look for solutions other than "throwing more hardware/cloud at it"..
<Regenaxer>
T, lightweight rules!
<patrixl>
yeah!
<patrixl>
(I say all that about cloud and hardware while my first picolisp contribution is an AWS thing.. haha)
<beneroth>
patrixl, you are working on the migration strategy, that is perfect ;-)
<patrixl>
true ;)
<patrixl>
plus picolisp running in AWS lambda still means using fewer cloud resources/hardware in the end
