I thought this but opposite of Avatar, good writing/acting and low budget

I read it like that comment have been directed at the article, implying 'know your rights' to be '…and do not resist'

No, AC that can run backward is much less widespread, because it's more expensive

Problem is heat pumps don't seem to be very widespread, so this is more theoretical point, imo

From the link:

Here, the Ubuntu developers roll out in-house universe security patches (additional backports of new patches against historical versions of the packages), which was previously not available

I'm not sure every package should be considered supported in LTS, so this not being available by default looks ok for me

Ah, yeah, there was, that's not how most of the time went, though

I don't know, we need a medievalist here

Yeah, I thought life was hard but sustainable mostly, turns out one was always at risk of extinction:

Medieval villagers were often living on the edge of subsistence. Agricultural surpluses were skimmed by the church and the feudal lords. Bad harvests, banditry, warfare and disease might decimate a village community at any time. For this very reason, the demography of many European villages remained relatively stable between the twelfth and the eighteenth century.

Yeah, when the same API endpoint sometimes return a string for an error, sometimes an object, and sometimes an array, JSON doesn't help much in parsing the mess

At least they don't corrupt the memory like 101-pedes

My favourite ones are compiler optimisations based on impossibility of Undefined Behaviour, like this one: https://stackoverflow.com/a/78751225/1122720
