What? With Epic you cannot just install the game on mac os. You need to install their Epic „store” that will try to run itself each time you start a computer and so on. Exactly the thing that people don’t want on iPhone.

Of course there is a biological claim. Intelligence is hereditary, so certain populations may have higher average IQs than the others. Also we can see that in nature - every dog owner will tell you that certain races of dogs are of higher a

I think it was closer to 15-20, but then you had a service pack update which was another 10. Edit: just checked in Google. Win95 was just 13 floppies. But you had MS Office and other software that was additional floppies to install.

At least with chat-gpt, it seems it could bring people out of their paranoid mindset. I tried to talk to it about conspiracies, deep state, denialism etc, and the bot kept telling me that those things are not real, explaining why, and so on

(rewritten previous comment with a help from gpt-3, so it’s more understandable) I work in climate tech and I think GPT-3 will be very helpful for us in researching new projects to tackle. I tested it on a few subjects that we're worki

I asked it to translate into Polish and it’s very decent. One small mistake only. In general it speaks my language fluently, although a bit quirkly and with some mistakes here and there. I would say on a level of a foreigner that has spent

It’s not old vs new. It seems you switched from building big established systems into a smaller, prototyping-driven project. There are two classic books on the subject from 1990s: „Extreme programming”, and „Pragmatic programmer”. Both touc

Is it tech debt or a lack of architecture? Badly designed architecture, or one designed too early, can be tech debt as well.

This produces the same amount of co2 as the regular hydrogen generated from fossil fuels.p, unless they lock it underground permamently.

The reason for this taxonomy is the same reason you use consts instead of plain numbers in computer code. You change the definition of “green” in just one place when someone invents a new loophole, or someone invents a new green method of o

That’s why you always set up layers of work with mturk, with other layers validating the first ones. Or give the same task to multiple workers and compare the results.

I had an LPG car in Poland, and winters were non-issue. Just had ti start it on regular fuel and switch to lpg after a minute or two - once the engine warmed up.

So what that 20% means in case of solar? Utilisation factor also doesn’t make sense - what matters is how many GWh you van get per dollar of installation, but you don’t measure this in %.

On top of that it’s way more difficult to install a hydrogen charging station than an ev-charging station. On the other hand, in Poland at least, natural gas charging stations managed to get enough traction - every gas station ofers LPG her

My GF works and Deloitte, and they are really, honestly, pushing fighting climate change agenda.

You are confusing efficiency with some other metrics. Solar is 20%, but there is no point comparing it to efficiency of gas or nuclear - it's apples to oranges.

What? No, no, no. iOS and Android were night and day compared to Symbian and the other operating systems of that era. Aside from the very basic games and super-simple apps, it was virtually impossible to write anything significant for non-A

As a developer from that era - developing for Symbian was absurdly difficult and awkward. Around 2007 we tried building an app that scanned barcodes in a store to show you comparison from online stores. Symbian's APIs for cameras were

It really depends on a place. I used public toilets in Europe without much issue.

I just checked, and since a year ago Apple uses pull tabs instead of glue - so the batteries are relatively easily replaceable. https://www.macrumors.com/2021/10/27/macbook-pro-battery-pul... As a side note t

What did you switch into? Apple has a record time of support for their devices. As for the battery glued in - again, what did you switch into, and how did it go? Aside from a few mishaps, Apple has the most long lasting laptops on the marke

Plants scrubbing co2 indoors are pure placebo. You would need to convert half of your apartament with a tropical jungle to offset what you breathe out. They look pretty, though.

Good math. Another way to ballpark this - the airport tank holds 500 liters of spirulina. Algae extract around 0.5kg co2 per 1000 liters ( https://mdpi-res.com/d_attachment/sustainability/sustainabil... ). So this

It's an issue with Windows, not ARM. On MacOS software works way better on ARM than it did on x86.
