If I understand the target of your snark, Gnome shell on my machine uses 172MB of RAM, if I sum all other gnome-related stuff (gdm-wayland-session, gjs, gnome-session-service, etc), it's 200MB.

Hardly GB. You don't have to lie to make a point.

How would they pay for the infrastructure required to support all those users? I can't stand ads, but when I was younger, no way would I have paid for YT Premium (though to be fair, ads are much, much worse now).

What proportion of its revenue is from fashion?

Easy to have the best selling car when you sell very few models across your range. Other car companies "dilute" sales of individual models because they have multiple slightly different models targeting different price points in the same segment, for example globally Toyota sells the Highlander/4Runner/Crown Signia/Prado/Landcruiser SUVs, Corolla Cross/RAV4/bZ crossovers, Corolla/Prius/Camry/Crown/Mirai sedans/hatchbacks. Each of these cannibalizes each others sales, but in toto sell more than any single model Tesla sells for a single segment globally.

There has been a slump in EV demand in 1 country. Everywhere else, it's growing.

I'd very much like a crash in one tab not to kill other tabs. And having per tab sandboxing would be more secure, no?

Is there a straightforward way to have one-process-per tab in browsers without using significant amounts (O(n_tabs)) of memory?

It isn't affecting (and historically doesn't affect) the "different group" though. That's the point.

> Should every car owner personally optimize the CO₂ emissions of their car?

They can if they want to, maybe by buying a car with lower/zero emissions at the point of use?

Probably thinking that if it appears China is getting global dominance in energy production/energy storage/car manufacturing, the West would block imports out of political and economic expediency. Like the current US administration is doing.

How does this square with some companies just stopping sales to consumers altogether?

How are wind farms existing somewhere a "problem"?

> escaping scrutiny.

What more scrutiny can a language get than people writing large projects in it over time?

True, and they haven't dried it up. Given some starting amount of water, recirculating it through the system more efficiently will keep the "running out of water" problem at bay, right?

Use less water? Probably by recycling the water that is actually used. If las Vegas can survive in the desert, any city can. The problem is getting the money to apply the fixes required.

> How does a random programmer have "duty of care"?

Are there jobs that don't care if you don't take due care when writing code? I'd like me one of those.

I can't imagine browsing the web on my phone and tablet without Firefox mobile. That would honestly be the biggest loss once this CEO takes this nonsense to the logical end.

Humans have agency and accountability, duty of care, etc.

Most of the time, there is usually no "most meritorious", just something that is elsewhere on the "trade-off space" than the person speaking would like. I usually dismiss everybody who so snidely and arrogantly dismisses results of other people's work(e.g. the OP article), like there was some _obviously_ correct solution that the people who worked on the widely accepted solution were too stupid or malicious to choose. They could not possibly have had other priorities or doing their best to get something working acceptably in a complex ecosystem with no central control, no! They are just dumber than you (or just plain malicious).

In the short term (while you build your desalinators), and in local water-stressed regions, it very much is.

Then why do they ban accounts for using them? Is it some sort of honeypot?

I trust them more precisely because they are not wasting resources making slick start-upy marketing fluff that make it difficult to find the actual information I am looking for.

At least you can see the ground ahead of you, weight is not the only thing affecting safety.

If sitting in the back and cheating guarantees a good grade, that's a shit school, honestly. The school seems to know that people cheat, and how, but nothing is being done. Randomize seating, have a proctor stand in the back of the class, suspend/expel people who are caught cheating.

It should not be possible to connect to the production database from your local machine, especially if the tool you are using to write and run your code is configured by polite entreaties that can be ignored willy nilly.

What is the US doing differently that it is so expensive there?

So should we increase the "scare factor" on rail transport or reduce it on air transport?

It feels like this would be a very tricky problem, seeing as it seems most large planes have "it's much lighter when landing than taking off" as part of the design constraints, seeing as maximum takeoff weight > maximum landing weight for most airliners (generally speaking, I think). It's probably not insurmountable, but it seems unclear how we fix this when takeoff weight == landing weight for electric planes.

Every time I wade into X, I always see people asking "Grok is this true?" and I weep for humanity.

Is there any Blink browser that allows you to install uBlock origin?
