Not OP but wanted to note that you're also likely to get different results based on the language you use (it'll respond differently to dialects of English, for example) and the RNG seed of the current session. These things are sti

People say the same about AoE 2 compared to 1, yet I enjoy 1 a ton (my partner and I regularly play it) and found 2 annoying and couldn't get into it. Might it not just be that some people like RA better than your favorite game? SC hav

The old book didn't say "... maliciously." though?

If the company name didn't matter and has rules that may not fit your product strategy, why don't people use a password generator for the name and then trade products as whatever brand they like?

Google Trends is about searches This is about published text . More like if Google Trends counted word occurrences on webpages. Or if Google Ngrams counted webpages instead of books People don't write much about non-newsworthy thing

Say that to Tempo! It's like hoover or ipad, a word people use in place of the real product name, and no matter which brand the product is actually made by (a no-brand piece of paper is still referred to as Tempo) It they're allow

As someone living in Germany, I would be very surprised if someone legit manages to bribe their way to skip a step somewhere. At an institutional level, perhaps it's more surprising if it never ever happens anywhere at all; but at an i

Huh, okay. For me there's everything from government updates to industry news to friends and acquaintances active on Mastodon. Meeting new people there as well. Maybe infosec and my friends are just all dorks

How can you know there's nobody worth following on Mastodon?

Where do you send emails from?

Things do tend to end up being a net positive or negative, though. Even if both aspects are present, it doesn't seem far-fetched that someone with hindsight in the future would conclude that it was overall a bad thing in the middle of

And tells you in an FAQ to go to a competitor if you want to send emails (personal or commercial does not matter). Various bugs in the ordering systems too. Domain names run smoothly (fast and cheap) once you got the payment systems dealt w

Just to throw it out there, surely we've ruled out ECC RAM gets away with worse modules because the checking bit will catch it? Because I actually tried to generate bit flips for a project once and we got nothing. Also a relatively hig

That'd be nice. The only server I can't host at home is basically just ferrying bytes to and fro, to have the right IP address for email deliverability. I'd buy DDR0.5 and a Pentium 2 if they'd offer it

Sure, do the math for both, considering also that the human will continue to run anyway and then see who should do the task to minimise worldsuck :P

Consider that you can do this as a working day because someone else is plowing the fields that grow your food, probably burning stored energy in fuels for the process We're sadly not that efficient. The 150kcal/6h=600kcal/day

I thought toasters took ~1.6 kW, just like any other resistive heating device (space heater, oil-filled radiator, microwave oven, oven oven, hairdryer, kettle, under-sink water heater: it's allways 1500-1850W!) except for the ones on s

Did OP get called to fix this bug and bill in half-hour increments for it? I was assuming the scenario where it's a hired developer doing their thing as part of their regular workday (they write "I noticed a glitch"), writing

Only the very cheapest phones still have eMMC. I bought a Pixel phone second hand last year and it shows the wear level of the storage somewhere in the settings. I forgot the number but it was so low, extrapolation got me to something crazy

There isn't, but part of Google's requirements for using the trademark "Android" is iirc shipping a locked bootloader. If you also want to provide your users with the Play Store (many people will perceive the device as u

I don't have time for an elaborate sourced answer but in short, yes, the efficiency gains of modern devices is almost negligible compared to the CO2e of producing a new device at current device lifespans. I can't remember if you w

'only'? A web developer did not cost 12*30=360$ an hour in 2015, and that's assuming that going "ugh, whatever. I'll just hide the problem with overflow:hidden instead of finding the underlying cause" takes him
