'The bees are dying so we should all become beekeepers!' Another aspect, similar in origin: 'The bees are dying so we should plant flowers' which then gets misinterpreted and implemented as any flower, native or not,

It's not because one system is better than another, merely a relative relationship, that it's a good system overall. That depends on the criteria used. I think you know that, yet your comment reads a bit like 'hey there'

Given that the whole article is about free software, of which the writer should know it doesn't mean the same to everyone, makes one wonder why it's in a footnote instead of in the first sentence.

Chrome open with 100+ tabs Bit off topic, but I don't use Chrome so I wonder: do you mean 100+ visited i.e. active tabs, or are you counting all of them, or doesn't Chrome have a distinction between those cases like e.g. Firefox

Is it actually 2020? Yes, but if it's not even possible to get auto-rotate to function correctly most of the time (to the point it becomes funny, countless are the times I've seen people yell at their device because either it do

Habitat loss is a key factor, probably the key factor, but the reasearch around artifical night light and fireflies/glowworms goes way beyond 'recall more than they were kids' - not sure why you'd pick that as main argum

it does seem like insect populations massively fluctuate for entirely natural reasons Spot on, this is usually the real explanation for the typical 'I saw none'/'oh but I saw a bunch'/'I saw more than ev

Good question. There's quite a bunch of other parasitic plants (and more often then not they don't look like any other plants at all, also since most lack any green color), but even though this one does look kinda special the prop

reverse the damage we’ve done in the past 200 years From the little I know about it, this damage you talk about only means getting CO2 levels back to normal. Great, but by the time that becomes realistic (seems no sooner than 2050 since t

Downloading 10 gigabytes of SDK just to run the compiler is not fun. This is not very accurate. Just the compiler/linker (which doesn't need the SDK to build and run programs, i.e. equivalent of getting just gcc) is about 300mb

folder UNC paths cannot be understood by CMD.exe Does using Powershell instead of CMD solve this for you perhaps (I mean, it does wrt UNC, but I don't know what else you're doing with it)?

Next in line: iris scan at entry, followed by tracking you based on clothes/posture. If you don't agree: try to wear and act the same as everone else? More serious (even though I think my example isn't that far-fetched): I&

Yes those shifts are needed, but in some cities/countries (talking Europe here for example) that has been going on already. Resulting in more parking spaces including surveillance, and police caring about bike theft (data point: my fai

I get what you mean, but I remember at one point going through some kind of 'oh no, it's a large diff' or even 'do not do this because the diff will increase' phase. And I realized that's just not ok. There&#x2

who want ... and many deeply-nested complex class hierarchies Are there really people aiming for that, as a goal? Or is it rather just the result of large-scale software? And/or if it's really complex, then perhaps that's j

Also most LCD monitors do not update all pixels at once. So the topleft pixels effectively change about a frame earlier than the ones at the borrom right. Which puts some of the numbers there also into perspective.

Dance is a sort of trance, and requires alot of letting go I know what you mean, also when you talk about that certain tenderness, I have experienced that, and I can get that same thing out of sports like climbing/bmx/snowboardi

Fair enough, performance critical parts are indeed not always the most ideal place for asserts; our asserts also trigger a core dump though.

I found that a bit of an odd question, besides the point, but I might be missing something. Is any of the purposes or uses of Starlink actually related to something multi-planetary? From what I read on it they seem to be there solely for co

Used to do that, but now we leave them in.. It's not like bugs don't happen in release builds (worse, the most obscure ones were the ones which only happened in release builds) and while a dialog box saying clearly 'develop

This sounds a bit too negative to me; probably biased as I am because I have a Cafelat Robot manual machine, but still: making an espresso which is of the same rich taste and quality as a 5k+ machine with said manual machine is not really t

I do find it interesting the desire to harm/screw other people over and feel no remorse I'm not sure this is the driving force here, especially when your description sort of fits the worst psychopaths, and I can think of other

This has actually been researched and the science is pretty clear on this one: the placebo effect is very real and does work. As a matter of fact IIRC (sorry, can't find the paper) some experiments with the principle as you describe ha

Quite a lot of Ultimaker 3D printers in there, that wasn't the case a couple of years ago. And factory floors/production lines in general. Remains fascinating, and awkward.

Exactly, there's not much recent about them doing hardware, but if you don't know the history and only look at the past 10 (or so) years which is in some ways understandable, then indeed it could look like e.g. the Surface line is

The reason for it not being enabled by default is probably twofold: code size increase/performance decrease, and it's not a feature which is used often especially not for the majority of targets.
