The ugly thing about eugenics is that someone has an artificial ideal of how people should be and then tries to enforce that. If something just happens without interference (a process), that's basically just evolution.

There is no eugenics angle in Idiocracy. Nobody tries to achieve some "genetic ideal" by manipulating people.

Singapore seems very oppressive and medieval when it comes to punishment of crimes. I wouldn't want to live there.

Indeed rural areas are not as well covered [1], but in cities it doesn't matter if you live in an old building. As long as your street has fiber (most do by now), when you switch to a fiber connection from your ISP, contractors will co

Something like this (if you leave off the numbers) captures it pretty well IMO. One clock hand which symbolically points at the position of the sun. https://www.botta-design.de/en/products/uno-single-hand-24-h...

But you don't have to add a docstring. Cases like this are worse than no docstring at all, because it wastes the reader's time. If you add one, at least make the effort to provide some useful information. For example which is mo

I don't know much about CPU internals, but this sounds like bullshit to me. A NOP is still an instruction that uses a cycle - why should that cool the CPU down? The CPU frequency should get reduced to lower the power consumption and he

I agree with you, except for the blame part. Of course people act accordingly to the system they're in. If they expect punishment for an action, or not, changes their behaviour. By defining what's punishable, we can change the cou

You probably know this, but shooting in color and then converting to b/w afterwards gives you more artistic options than letting the camera do the b/w conversion.

Then at least let the company that makes your niche software know that you want a Linux version of it, even if you don't use Linux (yet). We need to solve this chicken / egg problem. Nobody wants to use Windows, they want to use s

With all these commandline and registry hacks to make macOS and Windows bearable, why not use Linux? You will also have to use the commandline if you want total customizability, but at least the OS doesn't actively fight you.
