Where I live, they still exist - with a van and a megaphone, they collect mostly old car batteries.

I have destroyed three MBP batteries by having the laptop plugged in to the wall 24/7. Luckily Apple always replaced them in warranty for free.

The popular article where I read about it referenced: [1] [2]. I guess it is a quite recent finding. But I am no biologist to judge.

Back in the day I had trouble playing 128 kbit/s MP3s in Winamp on PowerPC 603e 75 MHz (Mac Performa 5200), so no way it can work on 68030

Honestly I don't know why this should even be on HN. Disclaimer: I don't live in Prague.

I was able to unlink FB my account with help from customer support. I had to provide details about my payment. They then basically deleted my account and created a new one and copied the playlists. There were some issues with Discover Weekly and Daily Mix playlists, but they resolved after a couple of weeks. I guess the process could be smoother and more automated, but I am glad now don't use FB login anywhere.

Another reasons not mentioned : 1) builtin support for complex numbers 2) Fortran compiler usually generates faster code (due lack of pointers it can do more assumptions). But recently I see more and more physics code written in C++
