And then everyone disagrees what counts as luxury in software.

Hey, me too! I do touch typing with home row and tried using mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX Brown switches, but eventually switched to scissor switches. I like them for the same reasons as you.

I get your point that plastics are relatively inert and may not cause noticeable harm (depending on quantity?), but I think it'd be wise to be cautious. See for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic#Bisphen

Many negative health effects have been associated with microplastics and related chemicals. Not sure if there's yet anything causative, but I think it's probably a matter of time and there's lots of research to be done. I&#x2

Some users might enable these kind of features with their attention, but I don't think users actually want these features and any kind of "voting" is likely unintentional. It's manipulation. The fault lies mainly with th

Or just find a shared memory/moment not available on the internet when in doubt. I don't think people will be that eager to remember another passphrase.

Is constant juggling of multiple agents productive? I haven't seen the allure (except maybe with 2 agents sometimes). I guess it depends on what kind of tasks one is doing and I can imagine it working if doing large, long-running tasks

It's crazy. There have been news articles here where people have lost their whole account balance in one go and bank says they can't even do anything after the transfer is made. How is that different from Bitcoin then? People that

But the outcome as a whole isn't the same. Maybe the same areas get invaded, maybe not. Denmark is also part of NATO. But it isn't the same to just give something up without a fight even if same areas get eventually invaded.

This shows how hard it is to create a generalized and simple rule regarding programming. Context is everything and a lot is relative and subjective. Tips like "don't try to write smart code" are often repeated but useless (no

Maybe it's a language thing. Architects saying they built something sounds a bit off to me. In my native language, and in everyday language, I don't think people would use "built" like that. I don't know how archite

Yeah, I haven't had issues with SD cards in a long time. Many years ago (maybe 10), I think they weren't quite as good and I probably skimped too much when buying a card. RPi 1 also had power regulation issues. Now I only use high

I've thought about it, but I'm not too worried. I wash containers before use and there's not a lot of sun or heat indoors. My regular pots are actually ceramic or stone. They look and feel better than plastic, but I also want

I've also tried a few different ways to grow plants indoors and I'd like to share my experiences for anyone interested. I like to grow indoors since I can do it year round and the environment is clean, stable and there are no anim

Sounds easier (for everybody) to just use comments.

Confusing code is one thing, but projects with more complex requirements or edge cases benefit from additional comments and documentation. Not everything is easily inferred from code or can be easily found in a large codebase. You can also

There are daemons (not installed by default) that monitor memory usage and can increase swap size or kill processes accordingly (you can ofc also configure OOM killer).

It is pretty paradoxical and got me thinking. I don't know how to measure the value of my vote. I feel like the immediate value is less than the effort, but on the other hand, I don't think it's so simple. As you said, if no

Maybe they have savings. They might also be eligible for some kind of allowance/benefits for some time and therefore are not immediately losing money.

I saw a conversation like that but, like here, I didn't always understand what they meant with "end result". Was it only the app GUI and they don't care about the code at all, or do they still care about the code quality

Ah, I see. Though, it's still useful that the relevant range isn't 0-100 but can go below zero since it's a significant change in weather conditions when we're below freezing point, but I get your point. In the end, it&#

> Same with pounds, for example. A pound is 16 ounces, which can be divided 4 times without involving any fractions. Try that with metric. Not sure if you're actually serious... 1 kg is 1000 g, dividing with 4 gets you 250 g, no fra
