Eye roll. The UN are pointing out that the AI hype is literally burning the planet. Just because they have Google Analytics on their site doesn't mean they are participating in the destruction. This is like calling out environmentalist

But you’re not carrying around your own water treatment mechanism either (unless you’re out hiking). It is relatively easy to install air purifiers or UVC lights in offices, schools, grocery stores, etc. The problem is that people don’t c

Europe is not a country or a single place. In central Spain, where 40 ºC is more likely, you'll find more air conditioning than in the UK, where people think that 25 ºC is hot.

It’s possible to verify age without disclosing identity. The German national ID (smartcard) allows this, but I’m not aware of any online service making use of the feature. I suppose it’s used offline by cigarette vending machines though.

The RAM/SSD price spikes are not shrinkflation, but the article gives examples of shrinkflation happening due to it: * Google's upcoming folding phone is going to have less RAM than the current model. * Motorola has both increased

It depends on how much caffeine is in your cup. Rather than measuring the size of a cup, I would go by the amount of coffee, as in the weight of the beans, used to brew it. The actual amount of caffeine is not as easy to measure, and even f

Manual dependency injection is fine, but it doesn't scale. Especially when you start refactoring things and dependencies need to be moved around. The other issue is dynamic configuration. How do you handle replacing certain dependencie

Banks are slowly moving away from their old COBOL systems. It's about cost as much as it's about catching up with the neo-bank competition. The main thing that makes this difficult is that in most cases the new system is supposed
