I disagree, and would argue that both are about equally frequent. For example, my phone shows °C in the weather widget, while the weather app only uses °. That does not change the fact that the actual unit is °C, and that would not change even if the whole world switched away from °F, and your original comment about the display having °C implying that °F still exists is therefore incorrect.

No, even if you only had one unit for a physical quantity, you would still need to specify that unit to know which physical quantity you are describing. E.g. “That object over there is 15” vs “That object over there is 15 kg”.

The symbol for temperature, measured in Celsius, is “°C”. It’s atomic and can’t be separated, since that would result in °, which represents the angle of something, not the temperature, and C, which is the symbol for Coulomb, which measures electric charge.

Isn’t it also partly that as processing power increased, you could do more sophisticated compression/decompression in real time compared to previously, allowing these more complex compression algorithms to actually be viable?

I.e. they actually knew how to do it before, they just didn’t have the power to implement it

Now I imagine them just writing an incoherent string of words. “Tomato car house fireman oven duck garden rice…”

What happens on the next iteration when i = 2,147,483,647 for each of our loops?

Not quite the same, there’s a subtle but significant difference

Probably is. If they gave you a little too much anesthesia so you didn’t wake up, you would probably drift off the same, and then just not wake up.

for(int i = 1; i > 0; i++)

Regarding the initial drama, the timeline is as follows:

• GN exposes LTT’s sloppy-at-best practices: https://youtu.be/FGW3TPytTjc
• Linus responds emotionally in forum thread: https://linustechtips.com/topic/1526180-gamers-nexus-alleges-lmg-has-insufficient-ethics-and-integrity/?do=findComment&comment=16078641
• GN responds to Linus’ response: https://youtu.be/X3byz3txpso
• LTT responds more thoughtfully: https://youtu.be/0cTpTMl8kFY

I will not try to summarize these different events, since that risks not covering all of the finer details in the issue.

Then there is also some very recent issue that has been raised about a former employee at LTT that allegedly has been the victim of sexual abuse, and very harsh working conditions, but I’m not fully read up on that yet.

I remember hearing about a study that claimed that backing into parking spaces could have you hundreds of dollars per year, since doing the reversing while the engine is hot uses less gas.

I think it’s fair to say that those in their late teens now are the first generation raised online. Sure, previous generations where raised alongside the internet, but the current generation is raised with a much larger presence of the internet.
