A bit of a biased source don't you think? The website was created by chevron to serve as chevron propaganda, it would not surprise me to find tons of articles defending their point of view, they don't even try to hide it, the head

Our government is short sighted so even if you all chipped something, our current president would rather have it burned to the ground to allow illegal mining, wood cutters and cattle raising on the burned ground. http://www.amazo

Yes, this and a few other things, just now (as of half an hour ago) the president authorized the armed forces to help with the fires, and it just happened because there's a lot of pressure, internal and from outside, but the actual pre

Power plants are much more efficient in converting fuel to energy than the combustion engines in vehicles, so, even if we use fossil fuel to generate the power that electric vehicles need, we will be in a better spot than the one we are rig

It's an idea so dumb that you need to pay for a software that the only reason to exist is for you to pay your taxes, Brazil gets a lot of things wrong, but at least our government provides a software available for every platform (windo

I'm 33, switched to emacs the end of the last year, still find the way that vim edit files better, but the ecosystem around emacs has a ton of niceties, so for me the solution was to install evil-mode and configure it to work as close

Had the same experience, spacemacs has nice defaults and it's gorgeous, but the lag bothered me so much that I was using vim a lot of time to get things to work. Changed to a clean configuration and built it slowly, everytime I hit an

Ignoring the terrible taste of your argument for the sake of keeping it civil... Do you really think that everyone should simply bend to the externalities that you generate? You really think that you could drop toxic waste on a river that g
