Don't supermarkets go through their produce really quickly so multi-day storage isn't what they're optimizing for?

People can absolutely get promoted for improving products, even if those products don't make the company money. The problem is more likely a lack of prioritization at the leadership level.

Why are randos allowed to bill you directly if you didn't sign a contract with them? Shouldn't anyone working at the hospital be under contract with that hospital? Why did the hospital share your personal information with those pe

The main downside is now you're making the bytecode an API which means all future changes need to be backwards compatible.

Except then there's no parallelism since you're only building one file. Ideally you'd split it into N files to take advantage of multiple cores, but then you have to decide how to split it...

This just sounds like an inefficiency in Google Docs. Native software can also be inefficient, even if it's written in C or asm, if the data structures or algorithms used can't handle certain types of data well. Just in this case,

Got more details about what you're referring to? For example, I know they have auto-subtitle stuff, but it's pretty ancient tech and I haven't seen it improve much since it was launched and it has still glaring shortcomings,

Did IDEs in 1995 actually support renaming variables? I thought that was a more modern thing like 2000s.

Well, test files shouldn't be affecting the actual production binary. But in practice that's not something that can be enforced for arbitrary projects without those projects having set something up specifically. For example, the p

How would that even work? Are distros expected to code their own alternative versions of open source libraries where they can't get the maintainers to send their IDs? Or what stops from forged IDs being used?

Internet suggests that it actually has to be ingested by the insects, not just have contact with their exoskeleton. So for example it doesn't work on bedbugs since they won't eat it.
