At least in my faang office, there’s essentially zero ports to plug into. If you have a desktop, there’s a port, but that’s the exception. I’ve never seen anyone plug a laptop in.

They mostly don’t even give out desktops to devs these days, everything is in the cloud.
It’s mostly software engineers, and distributed across almost every team.
A lemming that has taken off is https://startrek.website/c/risa !
I love my stream of Star Trek shitpost.
“well actually” room temperature superconductors do exist, quite definitely! … But only at 100 gigapascals of pressure. https://uspex-team.org/static/file/Troyan2022_ufn227g_High-temperature superconductivity in hydrides.pdf
Still really cool, but not useful for engineering.
I agree that this paper needs to be replicated before we get excited.
It’s really a shame Stallman and many of the other free software pioneers are absolutely creeps to women.
Come to beehaw, we don’t have downvotes.
This is such a great story, thanks for posting it!
Fyi most filters aren’t going to do anything to calcium in the water. You’d need a special ion exchange filter.
But the calcium is not a health problem. I grew up with very calcium rich water (a well in suburban New Jersey, USA). We had to buy a new coffee maker every few years because it would just kill them, even if we washed it with vinegar regularly.
In the US, tap water is regulated to higher standards than bottled! In the rare cases where there is a problem with it, everyone gets notified, for example http://www.msdh.state.ms.us/msdhsite/_static/23,0,148.html.
NYC prides itself on having really good water, both for local food production, and just for taste. NYC did this by buying up land around its reservoirs further inland and building a large aqueduct system. The water isn’t even filtered!
That said, some locations have unpalatable water, such as towns near the ocean that get their water from nearby wells.
I love that I can easily correct and annotate bike lanes
