Why would they want to prevent that?

Sure, if that is important to you. You are welcome to make sacrifices elsewhere. We will need to make sure you make them though, probably by taxing your petrol through the roof.

Fun is a good thing to spend some of our CO2 emissions budget on. We need fun. A joyless society isn't worth saving.

Generated commit message could explain the why, if the code changes had comments explaining this sort of thing. Someone still needs to document why changes are being made, but at least you only need to do it once. And maybe GPT-3 can do a

Oh yes. Free CDs worldwide was incredibly cheap as a form of marketing, especially when you have the ability to source the cheapest bulk pressing and shipping deals world wide. As are vending machines, compared with the ludicrous prices cha

Whoops, yeah. I'd read the article and ignored the title. Possibly a good habit rather than bad!

Marketing money? For about the first decade I think the only marketing was shipping CDs for free to anyone who wanted them. A billboard or two might have been rented over the decades in highly targeted circumstances. There is approximately

The article doesn't say anything is fixed, which is always going to be subjective. It says rental prices are growing slower than other NZ cities, and prices in some areas has dropped. It theorizes that this is because of the changes to

War babies needed to grow up, study, and gain work experience before being in a senior enough position to approve construction of a brutalist tower. 70s seems about right to me. Once there were consumers for this type of architecture, suita

I worded that badly sorry. Only one project switched to Go (a rewrite), and a few new projects where Go from the start. There was still a lot of Python. We hired from Open Source communities (mailing lists, conferences, our own website), an

I too tend to agree with the sentiment. What isn't mentioned though is that is quite possible to run out of people to hire. Which mostly happened to us, where we had grown and everyone in the relatively small Python community who could

All existing air cooled laptops and desktops would benefit because they can keep the same performance and operate much quieter. A colleague's laptop was nicknamed the hoverbook, because it always felt and sounded like it was going to t

You can apparently cool better using this device than traditional fans and heatsinks. Per the video, the high velocity air hitting the cooling surface vertically at high speed is much more efficient at removing heat than low speed blowers,

The PCWorld video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGxTnGEAx3E ) discusses how a vapor chamber should be used between the heat source and the cooler to distribute heat evenly to the device. And that performance laptops are t

As the younger generations stop rolling their eyes at 'old people' and become 'old people' themselves, I think the problem will be corrected. Requiring smart phone apps is discriminatory, unsuitable for for many people d

Tastes vary. I think just about every movie I like I feel would have been better as a 3 part miniseries, or part of a multi-season series. I think a lot of movie makers feel the same way, struggling to cut things down to 2.5 hours and still

Just quickly comparing prices, wholesale chicken is $1.01 per kilogram in the USA and $1.31 per kilogram in Australia. Much better conditions in Australia and no antibiotic use for growth (need a vet to authorize use with a sick flock). 30%

Nothing is racist about inventing a fantasy race in a fantasy world. One of the reasons we have fantasy and science fiction is it allows us to discuss difficult real world topics in a setting that hopefully avoids the real world biases. I

Heat pumps do not generate heat (well, only as a side effect of moving parts). Heat pumps compress gas. By using a compressor, they cycle gas between a low pressure chamber and a high pressure chamber. The low pressure chamber is outside, a

Per the article: "Equium claims that the heat pump system is completely silent, despite the use of a speaker to generate the acoustic wave. The level of noise is reportedly lower than 30 dB – the equivalent of a whisper."
