Rising of the sea levels is problematic for nearly all coastal areas of the world. Another problematic result is more extreme weather scenarios. There are many more, but let's start there.
They're just notoriously bad at admitting being wrong. Just look at how many keyboard iterations it took to get back to the old working keyboards.
For me personally think this could work, not having an esc button was a deal breaker for me but this might just convince me to finally upgrade my old mbp retina
My limited experience notarizing a hello world react electron app took 10 to 15 minutes. Not that much but a large increase from the 1 minute build time before
He specifically acted against bad information and what he was supposed to do, which required bravery and critical thinking to avoid catastrophe. It was also potentially risking very bad consequences for himself, as his superiors easily could have put him in prison, disappeared him, or otherwise punished his life - even just out of spite - for what he did. He says it was a good thing that he was working that shift and he is right. The odds are extremely high that anybody else would make that phone call up the chain of command, and from there the odds of a nuclear response escalate rapidly.
The danger of nuclear war is that there is no time to double check from other stations.
Imagine, your radars see the incoming, by which time they’re already a third of the way.
The SSNN are somewhere, close, about to launch. Those are close, so little time to react.
Short range missiles in Germany are 5 minutes away from wiping your allies.
In the meantime you have to pass this memo along, silo doors have to be opened, missiles warmed up, etc.
Today it’s much more dangerous. Nukes are hundreds, not thousands of mi. away from Moscow, so Moscow has 5 minutes head up before it’s hit. We’re unlikely to have a Petrov double guess a radar full of clouds. Any bug in the Russians radar software that looks like clouds, and poof!
I would argue that intelligence (as is muscle mass for example) is dependent on the need, and hence, training for it. If your life is simple and repetitive, why focus on getting smarter as it will probably make you bored more easily.
Similarly, if you do physical work all day your muscles are bound to adapt.
You've obviously never tried an apple laptop. Over the years nearly all of the components of my 2012 mbp retina have been replaced several times. The only things that are still original are the ssd and the bottom plate. Motherboard issues within a year, weak hinges, battery failing within 2 years, power cables failing every 9 months.
In all my years of using laptops (15 years before I got the apple) I've never had a failing power cable, until I tried Apple cables.
Glad to hear that there are people not plagued with the issues I've had. Perhaps I've been very unlucky but even though I've loved using the laptop, the amount of hardware issues I've had made me want to go back to my thinkpads before.
Not saying thinkpads are perfect, but at least they mostly favor quality over design.
I personally love Python where whitespace matters a lot too. But I regularly find myself fighting with the whitespace in yaml for some reason.
To me yaml (especially with templating) seems like a very contrived way of avoiding having to program, while still effectively programming. I much prefer json, or if more intelligence is required, actual javascript objects.
The only big downside of json where yaml does shine is the support for comments within your files.
