Good? Giving the tiniest little shit about nature and not wiping out the entire biosphere to build super low density housing over everything is the least we can do.
Not good. There is a spectrum of choices between not having enough reservoirs and power generation on one end and paving over the entire country on the other. I would trade having bats confused at night in order to have more housing within 2 miles of a major city.
Why not have more housing in the city? There's lots of space in the UK town I come from that is very poorly utilized. As for power generation, solar panels can coexist with quite a lot of wildlife.
I might agree, if high-density housing in England wasn't coupled with laughable rights for the owners of flats/apartments. The current leasehold system needs to be replaced, but I doubt anything will change even with the new government.
Burying plastics results in leaching phthalates, estrogen mimics and assorted other crap into the ground, and groundwater, in the near term, not the far future.
It's strange that the article makes no mention of the absolute abundance of pornography/porn addiction? I thought it was a fairly well established link.
Nobody is telling you to bury them in your backyard, modern landfills take all this and much more into account.
Now of course an average 3rd world country doesn't have any of that, but if you would actually travel there you would see plastics everywhere, in the sea, on random land, in the mountains, in the rivers etc. While still leaking what you wrote but way more directly.
Not saying it is perfect, but modern landfills are sealed on the bottom.
> Modern landfills are completely sealed to reduce contamination of the nearby groundwater. First, the ground is lined with clay. A thin layer of flexible plastic is placed on top of the clay layer. That allows the collection of leachate, the liquid that passes through the landfill and may draw out toxins from the trash. The leachate is collected though a drainage system that passes this contaminated water through pipes to a pool where it can be treated to remove the toxins before being released back into the environment.
Every time I have to do any major work with CSVs, I re-lament this exact thing.
I think the only way this could ever become more widespread is to fix all the open source tooling so that it's eventually just supported everywhere - then keep evangelizing for... ~30 yrs.
Probably you should also register a new mime type and extension and make it a new thing - don't overload .CSV any further - but make the same tooling support it.
If time could be turned back, a good idea would be to make CSV mean CSV. Not semicolon separated values, not any other thing separated values, but only comma separated values. To not overload the name in the first place.
And I would rename the format to SSV and make semicolon the separator. Comma is a terrible choice, because it's used as the decimal separator in many countries around the world.
GitLabs pricing is hilariously, insanely, astronomically high. I'd love to move our org off BitBucket the GitLab, but it's just absolutely not possible, given their pricing.
It would probably be much cheaper to buy a Framework without RAM and then install 96GB yourself anyway, even if they did offer a 96GB option. It looks like they charge roughly the same amount for 2x32GB as it costs to buy 2x48GB DDR5 SODIMMs at retail.
