This is not a convincing argument, but even if it were, carbon recapture is currently even more of a "rounding error" in the grand scheme of carbon emissions. Current carbon emissions are somewhere around 50 billion metric tons a

It's very strange seeing the option near the bottom of the page to donate a fraction of your revenue from Stripe Crypto to carbon recapture efforts. I agree with Stripe that, at this point, the solution to our climate problems must inc

I don't support these policies, but they are already well in place in the USA. They don't need Canada to perform a trial run. The US has has a long history with warrantless asset seizure, the most recent being the laws passed in t

I definitely think that was the case before iOS and macOS introduced system-wide dark mode. With the exception of a small number of people with very specific vision issues, I would say that those filing requests for dark mode were mostly po

To answer the question of who within an organization pushed to prioritize it: Users, lots of them. I've worked on few big apps and sites that needed to adopt dark mode, and even before browsers and operating systems implemented prefere

I actually like Python a lot. Although I'm no longer using it professionally, it's my first choice for personal projects. I'm also an advocate for using the right tool for the job, and in this case, Python may not have been t

I'm glad it's improved. I moved jobs a couple years ago, and since then, have only used Python for a few small personal projects. When I left, there were still some very rough edges around some very popular (and some not so popula

That was probably an inartful way of saying it on my part. Echoing what I said in another comment, I think the API for converting between bytes and str types is bad. .encode() and .decode() are bad names for what these functions do, and let

It's been quite a few years since we went through the conversion, and at this point, working in Python 3 is natural to me, so I may not be able to recall all the footguns. I can say a lot of the difficulty was due to libraries, both th

While I happily use Python 3 now, the transition was very difficult, and I was grumpy about it at the time. I work with code that uses a lot of files in a lot of different text encodings. Some are XML, some plain text, and some binary. Comi

You're right, and I forgot to factor that into my calculations, because, in my experience, that kind of wage theft is the norm. Employees have to proactively petition their employers for the top-off if they make less than minimum wage,

I can definitely see why what would be your interpretation of the end of the article, but I don't think that's what the author was trying to convey. Earlier on, under the "The first and biggest is wages" header, the auth

The question on the poll was which party the person considered themselves affiliated with, but not who they vote for. As other commenters noted, self-declared independents typically always vote for one party. If you look at the earlier ques

Given your use of the phrase "the plebes who are getting ripped off" in a comment, I suspect your sympathies aren't really with the unbanked and the lower classes, but I will nevertheless try to give an answer as if the quest

In addition to some of the answers already given, I can think of two reasons why a code-base deteriorates over time. The first is that best practices, even if unanimously agreed upon, don't always survive contact with the user. Users w

When I first read about Web3, I thought the exact same thing. The fact that there are fees to deploy and run dapps is right there in the design. And yes, it does seem like it's the intended design to have users pay the ether to do so.
