I do not think the issue here is (1) to be fair to the employer, to take the employer's money (the money I earn while working is my money), (2) to find personal time or to (3) steal office hours. The problem is that the employer preten

The problem of the "pay back" is that the CO2 they emit is still in the air: the mill does not absorb CO2. In addition there are different ways to compute a "pay back": - you may compare the e-kWh production and the foss

Yes I agree, and it should be counted everywhere.

It is great we focus on renewable production and I feel it is what we should do at the stage we are. However there is often no word on the fossil consumption for producing, transporting and installing the huge wind machines. I guess that &q

Amazing! A computer made without microprocessor... or a processor made of TTL circuits. He has remade a system similar to the core of the great 1970's Xerox Alto / Xerox Star series :-) I never thought someone would remake a proce

If you are worried with all the cases, you can very easily display your code as a truth table with nearly no overhead in this way: myVar = (!cond1) && (!cond2) && (!cond3) ? myValue_0 : // case 0 0 0 blab

Never thought the ternary operator required high expertise for associativity/precedence reasons and could sentence me to "clever code"... Besides switch/case do not apply to a mix of true/false conditions but to the

Fully agree! Combinations of if/else can seriously damage readability and maintainability. I (all the time) face verbose code that pretend to be readable and that requires lots of attention just to find out you are setting a single var

You wrote: "Forcing producers to provide 5(?)-years updates will make prices rise"... I don't think so: it will oblige makers to standardize processes and software across phones... i.e. very basic specific drivers, then same

They mention: "the 'linear' idea of address space enshrined in Unix: Memory is assigned to the next free block of appropriate size (...) You end up with lots of little pools of memory." They probably refer to a 386+ way

The fossil oil is an issue, but massive use of batteries is another one. Besides liquid carburants have proven themselves. I just don't find proper explanation why there is no massive investment in carbon cycle carburants such as seaw

I specially like your last point, and you will make even more money if what you produce makes them smarter. It is all the point of IT: increase the human capacities (computation, data handling and understanding, productivity, communication.

I subscribe! Besides, the world could become a better place the day the wahhabism oil-funding fades and vanishes. With global warming, these are the two most serious threats coming out of our oil-dependent economy.
