The advice to ignore competitors and focus on customer feedback is great when you're small and a solo Dev. As the company grows and you can dedicate other resources, you can start monitoring and selectively copying competitors. I'd still say that internal iteration is a better path though.
Fasting doesn't give you the ability to break rules of biology.
Those companies aren't putting out GHG for fun. They're manufacturing products every single person on the planet is consuming. Those companies, while they could play a huge role in taking leadership, aren't the problem.
Every single person reading the article let is the problem. You can't externalize this responsibility. You have to take responsibility for yourself and if possible, influence others yourself. This doesn't have to be advocacy, you can go out and start a lower-emissions competitor, or donate to carbon sequestering/scrubbing initiatives.
I read about this recently and found it fascinating - specifically related to tree height, but alludes to other implications.
Gutenberg has been changing constantly. When it's "released" it should only be released as a final version to developers, meaning they're no longer changing it, before being released to the public.
I've known a few people who've developed Gutenberg compatible plugins, only to have it break 2 weeks later when an "update" arrived. "Update" meaning "it's been redone entirely different".
It's been noted elsewhere here - use the official "classic editor". Gutenberg offers ZERO benefits. It's simply a different way of accomplising the same tasks.
This is however much less than the repairs and maintenance on a house. Replacing a roof? Furnace? Lawn work? Have fun.
Plus having concierge to receive packages for you is fantastic.
1. You don't need a car, carshares like Zipcar work great, which saves $1000/month ($200/month parking, $200/month insurance, $300/month gas, $300/month lease/maintenance)
2. Stress level and commutes - walking is a pleasure (especially with the PATH in the winter), while driving is stressful and harmful to your health. The 1-2 he you save daily with commutes/driving is life that you get back.
3. Opportunity cost - you can do 2-3 free meetups/events per week to meet new people and network. The interchange of ideas and connections is priceless
4. You don't need a house. A house is a luxury and so is having kids.
You can still find 1br units for $1500-$2000/month. Condos are for sale in the city for $400,000.
It's not that living in Toronto is expensive. It's people's misconception that owning a house and having children are basics, when they're actually luxuries. My response to not being able to afford living in the city while spending on other luxuries is usually too bad. Figure out your priorities and make sacrifices.
Concrete construction lasts centuries. And if torn down, can be crushed and after separated from rebar, re-used as aggregate in another project.
If you're in regular shape at 50 or 60, this is tiring but absolutely doable for a few days or weeks. I'd even argue that it's healthy to physically push yourself.
But someone else noted that these temp workers aren't expected to hit the same output.
When I was _forced_ into the windows 10 update, it went through the process and appeared to finish but didn't put my desktop back. No problem I figured, they put it somewhere.
So I did a file search, found the desktop in a folder, moved it back to the desktop.
A day later it self-restarted and _completed the update_, replacing the desktop with the now empty desktop folder.
I went to the Microsoft store to get them to do a file recovery and they had the _gall_ to tell me it would be $250 plus 7 days and they wouldn't guarantee recovery.
I moved to Mac this year after being exclusively on Windows since '98.
I hope Microsoft dies andisgraceful death.
