Yeah, we just have two ear canals. Stereo is basically all your brain will get.

I've seen it argued that the best way to create lightweight software is to give devs old hardware to develop on.

Which, yeah, I can see that. The problem is that as a dev, you might have some generic best practices in your head while coding, but beyond that, you don't really concern yourself with performance until it becomes an issue. And on new hardware, you won't notice the slowness until it's already pretty bad for those on older hardware.

But then, as the others said, there's little incentive to actually give devs old hardware. In particular, it costs a lot of money to have your devs waiting for compilation on older hardware...

Then those indigenous people need to figure out their morals. Chances are, they are embedded in a context where this is a lot easier, because they don't have factory farming. They are part of the food network and take only as much as nature can recover.

You want me to be the arbiter of all morals? Well, there's my take. Indigenous people hunting are not the problem. Other parts of the hivemind might have a different view on that, though, and I'm not gonna apologize for their take.

They just dumped them there in the 60s and 70s before there was regulation...


Edit:
Here's two links, if you want to read up on it:

It should be said, though, that this really is just a general rule. Some frameworks and programming languages are definitely less efficient than others without providing more versatility.

Yeah, the complaint isn't so much that we should be talking about rape all the time, but rather that we should stop shaming consensual sex.

Not knowing what I'm looking at, this is a rather confusing post. I'm guessing these are not just off-color potato chips, since those do tend to be round...

Well, I hope you are happy with the answers you already got, because my answer is that I personally don't care to keep these items, so I don't have much of an opinion on it. 😎

That's kind of the point I was trying to make up there, that I don't have to be the arbiter of all morals, just my own morals...

But if you want to keep such trinkets and you feel like you've informed yourself enough to know that no harm is done to these animals, and that makes you decide that it is moral, I will gladly accept your decision.
If I learn that it does harm in some way, I would let you know, though. Not to attack you, but because I would assume that you want to do no evil. And that you don't subscribe to the ~~horseshit~~ belief that your own ignorance of evil makes it moral.

I feel like I really need to drive home that veganism is when you care, but you're also lazy. I don't want to have to inform myself about every supply chain for my food and every possible moral effect that my actions might have. So, I just nope the fuck out of a large chunk of that by not dealing with animal-sourced products.

Like, yeah, if a bird drops a feather in front of you, the supply chain is quite obvious and I would hope you don't set off a trend of enough people wanting feathers in their homes for there to emerge an industry.

So, it's almost certainly fine. But if I myself don't actually want a feather, you can bet your ass that I will gladly stop thinking right then and there.

If these were not just random examples and rather genuine questions, then I would try to help you reason through it, but ultimately the decision is yours...

I guess, they might not be talking about individuals, but rather humanity as a whole. So, if a person rapes someone and this becomes publicly known, they will generally be shamed more than a woman having consensual sex (even though some rapists also get to be president, I guess).

But across the board, we have insults that every kid knows, which equate to "woman having (consensual) sex bad", as well as gossip of the like, and even men being shamed for going out with a woman who has sex.
Compared to that, rape is rarely talked about...

Waterfox. It started out as a 64-bit build of Firefox for Windows, back when Mozilla didn't offer that yet. These days, I believe, it just offers a few different defaults...
