Can I use this for soldering?
Since they don't make it anymore and that filters are extremely pricey, it's probably not a good solution here

> Also what world do you live in where an invitation to somewhere from your friend group can be seen as disrespectful, intrusive, or rude? Talk about disconnect from reality.
You are funny and aggressive at the same time. Good job.
Don't twist my words. Its not invitation that is the problem, but spam of invitations from the group that doesn't take your opinion into account. Its harresement.
An invitation once a week is not harassment, unless some important details are omitted.

> But we have been here before. Predictions of this kind have been made ever since the emergence of the Internet
I don't think I live in the same world as the author. Ever since the emergence of the Internet, "stuff related to IT" has been using more and more energy.
It's like saying "5G won't use as much electricity as we are told! In fact 5G is more efficient than 4G". Yep, except that 5G enables us to use a lot more of it, and therefore we use more electricity.
It's called the rebound effect.
This is countered in the article.
"Yet throughout this period, the actual share of electricity use accounted for by the IT sector has hovered between 1 and 2 per cent, accounting for less than 1 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions."

They are surely not the only one to have make mistakes in their life.
It's literally a lesson from the Bible: "Let him who is without sin among you, cast the first stone at her."
I'm telling on myself too, yeah.

I used to think this was really important, but what's the use case here?
If I'm writing a document for human consumption then why would I expect the dates to be sortable by a naive string sorting algorithm?
On the other hand, if it's data for computer consumption then just skip the complicated serialisation completely and dump the Unix timestamp as a decimal. Any modern data format would include the ability to label that as a timestamp data type. If you really want to be able to "read" the data file then just include another column with a human-formatted timestamp, but I can't imagine why in 2025 I would be manually reading through a data file like some ancient mathematician using a printed table of logarithms.
> If I'm writing a document for human consumption then why would I expect the dates to be sortable by a naive string sorting algorithm?
If you're naming a document for human consumption, having the files sorted by date easily without relying on modification date (which is changed by fixing a typo/etc...) is pretty neat

> If you want people in e.g Bay Area to consider you at all, you'll have to offer them more than you'd need to get the attention of people in Warsaw. That's why remote salaries can still vary by location.
Then why not take what you'd offer to people in the Bay Area and also offer that to people in Warsaw? That's what the author is taking issue with.
EDIT: This was posed as a question for rhetorical purposes, it's obvious that businesses don't do this because they don't have to and it's cheaper not to. Parent said they didn't agree with the author's logic, but the author's statement about companies paying based on value wasn't attempting to make a logical assertion, it was a lament about ethics.
Because you don't have to: even a significantly lower salary than what would be good in the Bay Area would attract and retain people from Warsaw

Amazing until covid hits and everything is out of stock at t+ 5 minutes. Every major city is like 24 hours away from MAJOR riots if anything serious happens to the supply chain.
COVID happened though, and shortages of commodities were extremely temporary, with no dire consequences overall.
What was actually unavailable with dire consequences, like masks/etc... was not unavailable due to lean manufacturing, but simply because it was a new demand that did not exist at this scale before.
You're aware of how many more grams of food you need with legumes to have the same proteins as a tiny slice of meat?
Protein per 100g of meat (let's say beef): ~26g
Protein per 100g of soy beans: ~40g raw, ~30g cooked
PDCAAS for beef (Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score): 0.92
PDCAAS for soy: 0.91
Approximately no additional grams, if you pick the right legumes.

Don't be over-dramatic, the comment is downvoted to death and every response is against it.
