The whole acceptance of cultural differences is important, but within reasonable limits. Discrimination of any type should not be tolerated.
Another one that always bugs me is: Middle Eastern guy marries a young lady. BAD! (And it is). Indian dude living in California in the 21st century marries a lady that was chosen by his mother and her parents to be his wife (she had little say in it): That's a cultural thing and we accept it...
Why?
During the pandemic, when we were all forced to work from home, one of my coworkers would incessantly bitch and moan about how he missed being back at the office.
He is the kind of person who pulls all sorts of bullshit out of his ass and starts treating it as if it's true. At some point he started going around saying that "productivity when WFH is ok but everybody is complaining that they can't make plans for future projects without face to face time". When our director got curious and asked him where he had heard about this, he changed the topic.
Basically this is a person who doesn't want to do anything and makes a career out of going around and pretending to be working and calling meetings when they're not needed. For this kind of person, WFH is deadly as it clearly shows that their "skills" are not needed for the company's success.
It's a bit more complicated than that, unfortunately.
What happens when Microsoft adds something to their web building tools that forces all visitors to websites using these tools to use IE? Or when your bank (or even worse, utilities) start requiring Windows and IE?
Odd consideration, but... I use 16Gb of ram and I have zero swap space and I've never seen a freeze in the three years this system has been assembled.
You won't see big problems until you use most of the ram, then you're toast. Also Linux (if that's what you're using) prefers to have more cache at the expense of swapping out pages. There's a lot of rarely used code on many apps that can be safely swapped out to get you more cache.
I love how JD Powell has a stupid award for everything (and they don't mean anything, they're just a stupid marketing company.)
Want to have a best truck award but don't have the best truck? Well, we can sell you a "Best Truck under 4 tons" award. Don't have the best truck under 4 tons either? We have a "Best truck under 4 tons under $45k" for you...
And it just keeps getting more ridiculous.
People like their oversized vehicles, price/mileage/etc be damned
They can always put some stickers on fuel pumps and bitch about Biden and blame him for their bad decisions.
If your batteries voltage doesn't match the voltage of your LED you need a voltage regulator anyway. All you need is to design it in such a way that it will always provide something close to the right voltage (at the expense of run time when fewer batteries are available).
IIRC the Logitech wireless mice work that way too. They can take one or two batteries. Use two for long life or only one if you prefer a lighter mouse.
