Maybe they're asking what your argument against buying a second set of arms is, rather than suggesting it as a solution?

Again: I bought a max spec model when it was released. I didn't wait years to buy the max spec model of a previous generation or something. I'm well aware CPUs got better and whatever arguments people want to make. None of this ch

You can stop doing the right thing without doing the wrong thing.

Sure, but the 11" MBA I bought was max specs at the time it was released and the point is: it didn't last long.

I guess, but that kinda means I would've needed to improve my 11" MBA's longevity by buying another, more recent, 11" MBA though. :)

I loved mine but I'd be lying if I said it gave me three years of acceptable performance. Sure, I can blame Chrome and JS, but ultimately, the core 2 duo and 8GB RAM did not keep up very long.

$50 a moth? How about just a lightbulb and an open window?

Could it just be the comment is too old? IIRC, comments that are over ~24h old can no longer be downvoted.

Off topic but this was the entire joke behind a South Park episode.

I was going to ask if you were making a joke or just too tired to spell mnemonic correctly, but they would've been pneumatic, not pneumonic. Edit: oh, boo, you fixed it.

I've somewhat recently found out that I enjoy hand grinding beans and having the resulting coffee quite a bit. There's something about the sound, the smell, and the feeling once the last bean is ground, that just works for me. May

I never understood why grape flavored things taste the way they do until I (accidentally) bought Concord grapes. That said, "delicious" is definitely a matter of opinion.

Okay? Lots of European cheeses still use animal rennet, including several well known AOC (or PDO in English, I guess) ones with recognizable names. I can check Wikipedia all I want but that doesn't make several of the cheeses I like to

Lots of cheese is curdled using rennet, which can come from stomachs of killed calves.

I agree that they're well aware. I once got stopped at self checkout because I put two vegetables (peppers, IIRC) of different types in the same bag and weighed them together. They were the same price so it's not like I was trying

My iPhone 16 Pro's screen got scratched/cracked within weeks of me getting it when none of my other iPhones (5 of them from the 3GS until the 13 mini) ever had any screen issues. It's hard to not feel like the durability is d

If they have sufficient camera coverage to achieve similar tracking of a vehicle within a certain area, I'd say it becomes a distinction without a difference (which I'm guessing is along GP's point).

Me? Not many, but I also happened to work in adjacent roles that had me more informed than the average engineer. People whose communities are affected? I think it'd be reasonable for them to expect more for it to be worth it.

When I was at (then) Facebook, this was mostly the case, but we also ran data centers with a hundred thousands of servers off a dozen local techs. Facebook (and Google as well, IIRC) prided themselves on how few people they needed to run th

This is a neat concept. I'm enjoying it. Thanks for putting it out there.

I've never tasted it but from what I remember from high school chemistry class, it certainly smelled close enough to other alcohols, so I assume it would taste close enough as well. TBH, I also had to do my own bit of googling because

Probably because a- people can tell, and b- you sell more to already drunk people, so getting them drunk sooner is better. So maybe the answer is water down the shots of your obviously drunk customers.
