No we didn't. But you inadvertently inserted the reason for that: doors and dogs are both locally access only.
We are on the Internet. People are being assholes all the time. A person that intentionally slams a door in the face of some other person can be handled locally, if someone intentionally kicks dogs it can be handled locally.
In a distributed open source project over an international network this type of management doesn't work.
So one can kick people from mailing lists etc., but that have traditionally been a problem in itself: someone kicked out can point out that there are no rules of how they should behave. Ad hoc rules have caused schisms in projects in the past so why not write a set of rules that all can either agree with or not agree with?
Those that don't agree but still follow them - fine, those that don't agree and don't want to work on the project anymore - fine, those that don't agree and don't follow the rules - well now we can point out why you got kicked. Those that agree or agree in general are likely to follow the rules.
If referring to a person with their preferred pronoun is such a problem for you I think you are the real problem. Why is it a problem for you? Why is that the example you choose? Why is that the example almost everyone complaining about the code of conduct phenomena use?
I do have problem with the need of these things in the first place and also with some specific ones, there are at least 2 project I will not touch due to their CoC. But that isn't based on having to refer to someone as "it" (which would be fucking weird but so what).
This line of thinking is oversimplified: one can't just add a lot of stuff and expect everything to scale.
The interconnect between cores in a low power design with a few cores is different in a "manycore"* design designed for intermediary to reasonably high power (say 40-90W). To reduce the communication latency one will burn more power however Apple may try to keep a simple design and use NUMA type techniques to reduce longer latency communications in software.
Memory controllers would consume more, the GPU would probably be scaled significantly and thus consume more power. Just having a larger die means more power consumed (leakage and other effects).
Not saying an Apple processor couldn't provide a very good bang for the (power) buck compared to Intel processors but it isn't easy to compare a low power design with a higher power design.
Because they may learn something? Because having an entangled near light speed channel would be very useful? Because they have some time left until vacation time and have to do something?
I couldn't understand anybody that wouldn't want to do that experiment given the equipment...
Yes Occam's razor is often misunderstood and misused. It's only an (on the surface) obvious rule that one should check the easy explanations first.
Many people that should know better take it as meaning one of the easy explanations _is_ the answer instead of one of the easy explanations being very likely to be right. That can introduce biases in the process.
The blurb is a lie. He sold the software. That is defined as software piracy - a copyright violation.
So if you want to complain about the general state of copyright laws - do that. If you want to propose mob rule above laws - do that. If you want this specific case be handled differently in copyright law - do that.
But don't lie and paint someone that knowingly, willingly pirated software for financial gain as a hero.
Lenovo actually listened to their users and went back to a saner design. Apple instead just say the user is stupid and that their contraption is superior.
Not that a dynamic touchscreen area can't make sense but it isn't a good _replacement_ for normal f-keys for those of use that actually use them. Why not have both? Well I know the answer from Apple: it wouldn't look elegant.
I also like nipples but don't have your aversion against (good) touchpads, unless running certain business models from other companies that's what's available sadly.
Or do you mean they double click their touchpad? If so I can understand the problem. Tapping is silent, clicking isn't.
Lenovo and Apple removing the F-keys for some contraption that is mostly useless? Lenovo removing touchpad buttons to look more modern? Changing keyboard layout just because?
You have obviously never opened a 15" laptop. There are some designs with some free space - often a model with an optional 2.5" HDD. But even then the variant without the HDD will often have a larger battery.
But sure if you search for the cheapest design you can find and go for the lowest specifications yes there may be some free space. Even then it will mostly _not_ be empty space.
You think Intel only had two teams? The P4 had incredibly skilled people working on it but the project started with some assumptions that turned out wrong in the end. Out of order execution could be improved and it could be made deeper/wider without excessive power draw. Process improvements didn't make a true speed-demon the best performing design.
No BSOD and no crash here since forever. Last problem: graphics driver, second to last problem: graphics driver. Don't remember when that happened, 6 or 8 years ago perhaps?
Graphics drivers still partially crash from time to time but killing the program (game) and then restarting it works fine without rebooting.
Oh, there is one other hardware related problem: since a BIOS update (well, UEFI...) there are some power management problems. Solved by changing some Windows settings so that it uses traditional hibernation, a few seconds slower boot but it works. The problem is the hardware manufacturer that don't think new BIOS updates are worth it for a computer that's more than a year old.

Because sex vacations are the leading cause of infection? Really...
1) Either physically impossible or theoretically possible but actually impossible. With our current knowledge that is.
2) ?
3) Nothing makes that impossible.
4) Nothing makes that impossible. Many types of cancer have >90% survivability with near 100% survivability when detected in early stages.
5) Genetically inferior?
Better than those wild claims of anonymous shit posters.
Most people with AIDS doesn't fuck men in the ass.
Either you are an idiot, a troll or someone incapable of reading simple text. What I wrote that was:
VMware ESXi isn't part of the Microsoft ecology.
It isn't based on Microsoft software.
Which means it have nothing to do with Microsoft _WHICH_WAS_THE_FREAKING_POINT_. It was a _CORRECTION_ of the post I responded to.
Suppose I shouldn't complain. Someone moderated me troll for the same post. Correcting an idiot poster by stating facts is now a troll...

In other words you got nothing.
Citation needed. People have been talking about Apple switching to ARM for at least 5 years.
VMware ESXi isn't part of the Microsoft ecology. It isn't based on Microsoft software.
I hope you learned your lesson - keep your mouth shut when adults are talking.
Simulators?

There's plenty of that crap going on.

As it turns out, people that design laptops actually think about these things.
Well, sometimes not. Style sells even if it isn't logical :/
You have obviously never opened a 15" laptop. There are some designs with some free space - often a model with an optional 2.5" HDD. But even then the variant without the HDD will often have a larger battery.
But sure if you search for the cheapest design you can find and go for the lowest specifications yes there may be some free space. Even then it will mostly _not_ be empty space.
You want a matte screen laptop? Two options: go professional or go gaming.
Do they still use halon? Thought it was reserved for military and critical civilian uses only.
You think Intel only had two teams? The P4 had incredibly skilled people working on it but the project started with some assumptions that turned out wrong in the end. Out of order execution could be improved and it could be made deeper/wider without excessive power draw. Process improvements didn't make a true speed-demon the best performing design.
382%? And you talk about facts?
