One should not confuse energy-efficiency with sustainability. Yes, pushing simpler frameworks to its limits is good, but it is not the main issue, nor it is enough given the exponential growth in demand that we have been witnessing.
- endorphine 2y agoCan you expand on that? What's the main issue?
- seb1204 2y agoI tend to disagree, in the same way that it is better to use higher efficiency class dishwasher or washing machines it is better to use code that achieves the same with less computing power. Saying that the increase in energy demand through reason x does not mean that efficiency efforts are in vain.
- userbinator 2y agoHE washers have been known to fail more quickly, are more complex and expensive to repair, and not do as good of a job as the machines they replaced, so I don't think that's a good analogy.
