It's also a strawman argument.

The alternative could instead be a system with open standards that many vendors implement, and only relying on standardized behavior.

This works to some extent with for example SQL or C, where you can migrate from one DB or compiler to another with limited effort.

From what I've head: these models are very accurate in estimating the mean global temperature difference even for long periods of time.

While the global trend is clear, they cannot estimate local developments very accurately - these are subject to chaos, and local changes. Note that the authors do not try to predict any local effects.

It's a hashcash:

Proof of work is trivially parallelizable, and 2^(5*4)=1048576 options are super easy to go through for spammers.

This has irked me as well. Is there an acceptable way to make this less verbose?

A crate with a derive macro for example?

I regularly type in passwords in front of several people who could watch the input on screen.

This should never be the default.

A program that does not halt is not an algorithm. If you want to create a sorting algorithm, it has to halt, i.e. not run forever.

I'd like to read this article but the GDPR consent collector is broken in so many ways.

What does it mean to select an advertiser? Why doesn't select all work? If techcrunch can display the page to me at first why do I have to give consent still?

"Even the TLBs in the recent Intel Skylake processor architecture, cover only 9% of a 256 GB memory."

Isn't that sort of a lot since the TLB is per context anyways?
