If CO2 is a byproduct of another process, then I'd make a guess it is fairly cheap. The flaw here is that CO2 and H2 are both products of steam reforming using methane... Which is to say, the cheaper version might just come from using natural gas. Hydrogen has to be sourced from some energy consuming process, and that too is often from the methane steam reformation. So it's certainly possible, but yet again is ready to become yet another "green" product made from fossil fuel. Doesn't have to be, but I can be.

Edit: to correct a discrepancy, the article mentioned hydrogen, but if the hydrgon comes from water used in the process then some of the issues of providing H2 is less big. But either way I expect this to be energy costly. Nevertheless, a lab made product is still something that doesn't need large areas of land to produce.

Easily achievable if you only take calls in working hours. Then all working hours will have more than average calls per hour for a day.

I disabled my adblock for Twitter to see a update about game server maintenance. It showed me random posts, nothing from this year. Literally unusable site when you can't even see the latest tweets. Had to have other people tell me maintenance was extended...

Assuming digital button here.

Like how a lot of sites, link to Facebook, insta, X, etc at the bottom of their web page. Just the fact it was an option meant something.

I made do with my IDE, even after getting a developer job. Outside shenanigans involving a committed password, and the occasional empty commit to trigger a build job on GitHub without requiring a new review to be approved, I still don't use the commandline a lot.

But it's true, if you managed to commit and push, you are OK. Even the IDE will make fixing most merges simple.

Our company did a thing like this, focusing on the manager and above. They got password and authenticator codes out of them and admin access to the slack...

Good method to have users learn about critical thinking.

Brushing off safety in a single small paragraph sure makes me feel like its not trying to make a serious argument. Sure a handyman likes the simplicity and freedom, but considering this:

In 2019, a Microsoft security engineer reported that 70% of all security vulnerabilities were caused by memory safety issues.[7] 

From Wikipedia, it's pretty clear memory security is a pretty substantial topic in the programming world. Brushing that off because you do not care makes for a bad argument.

I remember it being used at the "roast me" sub so the person verified they were actually the person in the image asking to be roasted.

I'm just a noob when it comes to low level languages, having only been in C# and python. But I took a course on C++ and encountered something that didn't seem right. And I asked and got the "that's undefined behavior". And that didn't quite sit tight with me. We don't know what will happen? It'll probably crash? Or worse? How can one not know how a programming language will perform? I felt it was wrong.

Now, it's quite some time since that happened, and I understand why it's undefined. But I still do not think it should be allowed by default. C and C++ both are "free to do as you want" languages, but I don't think a language should let you do something that's undefined especially if you aren't aware you're doing it. Everyone makes mistakes, even stupid ones. If we can make a place where undefined behavior simply won't happen, why not go there? If you need some special tricks, you can always drop the guard where you need it. I guess I'm just reiterating the article here though. But that's the point for me, if something can enforce "defined behavior" by default then I'd want that.

Can't possibly be any of those reconnaissance tours held the days before. /s

All of them are OK, except mkv is less a file type and more a container. What should be specified is the code for video, which for most things I'd say AV1, but high res movies might not be the most suitable. Throw in opus for the audio track, and you can use mkv, but might as well use webm anyways since it's more clear what's behind it. (though can still be other things)

I'd also add that jxl should be the standard for lossy images. Better than jpg. And you want something other than png for massive images because that quickly gets costly in terms of size due to png being lossless.

Getting out quicker is always good.

But the main reason, there isn't much traffic where you are backing in. But backing out sure as hell will have both passing cars and people assume you see them perfectly well. I also have no depth perception so the ass of my car is like a big unknown. So backing into a spot is easy because I can just use the side mirror to line up my position relative to there cars. Only issue is how far back I can go. Now I got a camera back there, and everything is much easier.
