In Europe, I live in an apartment with an garage in the basement with EV chargers. Not sure why you you think it's an US-centric view.
Naming comments can be very useful in code that gets read by a lot of people. It can make the process of understanding the code much quicker. On the other hand, if it's less important code or the renaming is not clearly…
It's possible to dual-boot. My favorite method is to have a device with a SD-card slot and have android on the eMMC but PostmarketOS on the SD-card. Currently only do that on one of my older devices, would love to do it…
With one quite significant issue IMO If there's an old question the most upvoted answer will be at the top. Better solutions are often available if the previous answer was 10 years ago, but they will be buried. Solution…
I do wonder how branch prediction actually works in the CPU, predicting which branch to take also seems like it should be expensive, but I guess something clever is going on. I've also found G_LIKELY and G_UNLIKELY in…

A lot of things are happening, this company is just doing a little part of it and that's alright. China have ambitious plans to carbon neutral by 2050 and the US had plans to... ok maybe the US is a bit stuck for the…

While Sweden has free health care, it does not completely include dental care. It's free until you turn 20, after that you pay out of your own pocket. This is to incentivize people to take care of their teeth, instead…
I only personally know one person who had been an active member in Extinction Rebellion and I think it's a bit more nuanced than that. It seems like they all agree that the amount of growth we have today is…
