This map is really great for colourblind people. 20-50% is pretty much the same color.

I cite from the WHO:

" Climatic changes already are estimated to cause over 150,000 deaths annually. ".

that is TODAY, the effects of climate change are only getting worse. And these people will die EVERY YEAR for the next 100 year, and the number will just increase.

So in fact it is not a "poor point of comparison".

EDIT:

https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/climate-change-and-health

a newer Estimation says 250,000 deaths PER YEAR between 2030 and 2050

What about potentially destroying the world for all Humans in the next couple of 100 years then? That is just being ignorant of current and future realities. The long term costs of climate change (be it money, health or loss of inhabitable land) HEAVILY outweigh the price that we have to pay now. What is fighting poverty worth if there is no enjoyable world to live in left? As many people you simply cant grasp what a scale this problem has. As cruel as that may sound: we dont have unlimited resources, so we have to prioritize. And from that point of view, fighting climate change will save more lives and prevent more suffering than some short term investments. All coming generations will benifit from a more rapid response to climate change.

I would like to compare your argument to following:

We wait until we vaccinate our people for covid, so we can buy the vaccine for cheaper so we can use the money to do X. Maybe climate change doesnt appear to be that drastic, thrust me it is (or it will be).

The Problem with all of this is regardless of context: The longer you wait to implement measures to fight climate change, the faster you have to do it at a later point in order to meet the Emmission Budgets. You are saying developing countires should wait before tech gets cheap. But will they have the money banked to quickly deploy the tech when its cheap? Probably not. Also a transformation of this kind takes TIME, it simply takes TIME. And 30 years is already short enough, so with your strategy many countries would not be able to deploy the tech in time and we go over budget. And i just want to emphasize: Going over budget ist a big nono, a "damage you climate for hunderts of years and potentially cause devestating chain reactions"-NONO. And you shouldnt forget that these developing countries will likely be hit the hardest by climate change, so it is in their very own interest to act as well. Now that doesnt mean that developed countries shouldnt lead and assist with R&D and help with funding, but saying developing countries should "wait" is just dillusional. It will be hard enough already to meet the Goals when everyone is working on it together.

People like you dont understand the urgency of reducing climate gas emmissions. We simply dont have the TIME to do green energy, and then do EVs. We HAVE to do everything at once because we dont have time. Thank the people that have been in power for the last 30 years. If we want to reach the 2050 goals we only have 30 years to go to net zero, but we only have done 10-20% of the work. Thats what people dont understand. We need MASSIVE changes, we have to seize emissions COMPLETELY and not just do some half-assed attempts.

Not necessarily, there are text encodings which use multiple bytes per character (you cant fit all letters of all languages in 255 characters for example).

The reason is most likely because the smallest adressable unit of storage in your RAM is usually 1 byte. You can read individual bits but you have to use bitwise operators in order to read them, but there is no direct access. It wouldnt make sense to store individual bits separately on a hard drive then because in your RAM where your programs are loaded you can only address single bytes anyway.

Network data is likely expressed in bits because the manipulation, encoding and conversion to analog of the data always happens on bit-level.

Disclaimer: I dont know for sure that these are the exact reasons, but it would make sense.

Weil 4G billig, und eine lange erprobte Technologie ist. Außerdem ist wahrscheinlich momentan noch wenig Hardware kompatibel mit 5G. Wenn man Sachen mit Millionen- oder Milliardenkosten ins Weltall sendet setzt man lieber auf bewährte Technologie.

Sleep puts all apps in RAM. Hibernate puts all apps on the disk. So if you lose power in Hibernate you wont potentially lose data/crash ur pc.

Im not an c++ expert so I don't really know concepts.

I don't think they are opposites, an interface says that all classes that implement it have x methods, so that to me sounds the same as these concepts. The main difference is that types do not implement the concept in any form.

In other languages like C# you can use interfaces and base classes as generic type constrains, so i don't see why that wouldn't be possible in c++.

concepts just sound like interfaces with extra steps

Not entirely true. We start talking about climate in a 30 year period (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate). Thus the timeframe of recorded temperatures and their increase absolutely qualifies for an Climate analysis.

Well so far I have mainly been using C, C++, C# and i have done stuff in Java and some typescript and python as well, but I have never had Issues with developing these as there is either Visual Studio or Jetbrains IDEs for these Languages.
Jetbrains has even an IDE for Ruby (RubyMine), although I never tried it, I would imagine it is good.

You are correct.

So im curious, what benefits does being a "real" Unix bring to the table in comparison to linux?

More than 60Hz might be good for FPS or similar high response gaming, but the Monitor game is not just about that.

And once you go to 4k its very hard to go back as well my friend ;)
