To be frank, the answer is that it does cause problems for users. I've read countless anecdotes at this point from both camps, some claiming that Arch never breaks and some saying that updates have broken their install. I personally tr

Even if you can somehow convince the major tooling to take that route, you're never going to convince every piece of software to follow suite. It's a problem that must be tackled, there's no side stepping it.

This matches my experience. I've got a Pixel 3A here which I've owned since July of 2020. I take good care of it, my previous phones have all lasted on the order of 6 years. This phone has its charging port failing where it will n

That's an interesting observation that I hadn't thought about before. Another interesting thing, to me anyway, is that for Starcraft 1 allowed for upgrades which improved the utility of your early game units. In other words your e

The rate of change matters, it's a crucial factor. Typically when the climate changes it's over the course of thousands of years. This in contrast is a rapid change. I'm also not sure what your point even is. "Climate ch

That is true to some extent, but I'd argue that there are diminishing returns on this. That is to say that ambitions would certainly be greater if we had more time, but I don't think it'd scale linearly. Another way to look a

They are very much tied together, though. Maximizing longevity is increasing the quality of the time we do have. More time available equals more time you are able to spend doing things you actually enjoy. I feel a great deal of pressure to

In the school I went to, 2 years was the expectation with graduation requirements being 240 WPM with 98% accuracy. How quickly you actually got there was very much dependent on the person. Some do it quicker than 2 years with little practic
