> less efficient as it gets to zero fahrenheit Here in NJ there aren't any days like that any more. Its like heat pumps wouldn't be great in the old days but in today's new climate they're great.

I'm curious how many corporates allow WSL2. I've worked for two since it was released and neither permitted it. I guess virus scanning is too hard?

Its fascinating that the pill can also change the type of male women are attracted to. Given it is so ubiquitous it can completely change society and evolution. (Of course the falling birthrate is hugely changing society as well)

With working from home getting popular, even fewer people want to be a teacher. 5 days a week starting at 8am. Not going to happen.

I am both American and EU citizen. Yes US is more car dependent but its the same everywhere. My mother can't drive and lives rurally, she rarely gets to visit her relatives unless someone drives her. > Imagine if medieval peasants h

I'd love to know if long term earnings are affected. I know a bunch of people who can't drive and it really seems to restrict what you can do in life.

Probably more relevant is how many over 40 give up coding because they're bored and/or employers dont want them any more. (I'm over 50 and finding it much harder to get piad compared to when I was younger despite kids moved o

Be aware of the Maximizer vs Stisficer tradeoff. You're like me - you want to explore every option to make sure you take the best path. Often it isn't worth it - just choose a popular route that does basically what you want. http

My favorite hack back in MFC days was a combo box which I stored the pointer address in the text (to the right after a lot of spaces so was hidden). When a user chooses an item, parse the pointer and de-reference it back to an object.

The growth I was talking about was more about the few billion people that have been dragged out of poverty and can now afford cars, AC, flying. I think that will out-emit anything the developed world does in going green.

You can't blame the provider. Eg if you were the only hotel in town without the fee and your rate is higher than everyone else you'll likely be empty. I'm sure most hotels are only too happy if everyone is banned and the play
