The ignorant part is claiming we have workable alternatives to AC. Now you one-up your previous statement by claiming people thrive(d) in these temperatures. Even if you had mistak…

I believe Japan does it, for instance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Housing_in_Japan "An unusual feature of Japanese housing is that houses are presumed to have a limited lifespan…

This is the kind of ignorant comment we thankfully see less and less. You can no longer shift your activities when the weather reaches 35C (95f) every day for weeks without noticea…

Lovely blend of analogue and digital elements. I am not into cars and I will certainly not pay for a luxury car anytime soon, so not the most relevant opinion. Still, when I buy a …

I've always had excellent model building functionality for abstractions and got the "physics" of a subject rather quickly, be it economics, biology, certain mathematical subjects a…

Sometimes interests intersect.

I'm in the opposite camp. Programming has never been fun to me, and LLMs are a godsend to deal with all the parts I don't care for. LLMs have accelerated my learning speed and prod…

Could you elaborate on the differences in the healthcare systems?

Not sure why you are downvoted. Social market economy is the self-description in Germany, it's what you learn in school and how German politicians name the system. The goal of soci…

To be honest, I do understand some people preferring pastures in front of their home. But we can't have nice things if individuals are capable of blocking projects for that. Person…

To add to this, I know person a farmer who wanted to use part of his farmland for solar panels. The project failed. Reasons: lack of power grid connection, no one wanted to takeove…

I made no argument, merely tried to explain why he is viewed favourably by some. I could have left out the second and last paragraph, that was more about me showing that I didn’t a…

He has been well received among left-green voters, civil servants and alike. He communicated without the usual empty political phrases, that alone brought him sympathies. He also m…

Every time I've looked into the arguments for this being a genocide, I saw, at best, a description of urban warfare. Maybe I am wrong. If anyone is still reading this thread, could…

That is an insane comment.

Coming from the other side of this argument: In my degree, rote memorization was required for a surprising amount of courses. It required students, me included, to memorize huge qu…

An anecdote to add to this: Me and most of my peers in college had the choice between two courses. Course A was interesting, yet vastly more challenging and therefore time consumin…

In my mind, this generalizes to the same problem with other non-stochastic (deterministic) operations like logical conclusions (A => B) . I have a running bet with friend that huma…

What about the additional costs for delivery and online platforms? Both only apply for delivery and are quite significant. Takeouts should reduce costs, but delivery has significan…

Did similar movements had a measurable impact? Asking because I have the impression that boycott movements are ineffective, but I never verified that.

Replace European with Cosmopolitan values. There are no unified European values, as the states of Europe are quite diverse. But there is significant cultural homogeneity for a subs…

I've never known these kinds of systems exist. Love it. Like a common interface or index. Something like this should be implemented everywhere.

Same question for HTML. In my mind, HTML is a markup language. Maybe I am unaware of more advanced features that fall into the programming language category.

Not OP, but not really. I do not hate it, but enjoyment is not something I get out of coding. It has gotten better over the years, as I have become a better programmer. Liking what…
