   While there is still a market for artisanal furniture, dishes and clothes most people buy mass-produced dishes, clothes and furniture. I wonder if software creation will be in a similar place. There still might be a small market for handmad

   I don't think it's horrible , but I really do wish they would copy TypeScript here. Let me do this: const x: String | Int Instead of enum MyEnum { case string(String) case int(Int) } There&#x

    If ICE agents were actually in danger or subject to "vigilante justice", the administration would be CROWING about it SO LOUDLY we'd never hear the end of it. They're spending their entire working days searching for evid

    Not sure about the point of your comment. Ok, doing work generates heat. But if the primary goal is to generate light, not heat, then incandescent bulbs are terrible at their job.

    Maybe your analogy holds if driving and walking took the same amount of time. Plus "planning, implementing, validating, and reviewing" would be a bit like walking anyway in your analogy.

    Yes, EVs generate more tire and road dust. My car needed new tires after ~32,000 miles.. (52,000 km) which I think is about half the life of an ICE car?

    What if it's a hot summer night? :) My point was about efficiency of the generation. You want the light, you don't necessarily want the heat. Save heating for the (efficient) heat pump.

    Maybe if they used their brakes all the time, but they don't. (Regen braking uses no brakes). That's why EVs, while heaver, require fewer brake pad replacements than ICE cars.

    I seem to remember this happening to me, and I finally called them and they said something about a waiting period for new accounts? It might help to try calling their tech support for this as painful as that is.

    Yes, that's what I meant. Was just curious how the market for gas has changed (or not) in NO given that.
