So jetbrains versions their software like this, I think it's because with semantic versioning the actual numbers are arbitrary. Making the numbers include some time information helps to identify how current it is, especially when it's actively developed by a private company (oss generally isn't guaranteed that)
Reading analogue and digital clocks are kinda a different skill and use different parts of the brain. That's not to say either is better, it's just different.
It needs something to direct air around the frame/bumper/crumple zone/whatever frunk space it has. Aerodynamics are very important for range.
I've always been curious about a very no frills car with basically nothing in the front so that aero could be maximized but I doubt that makes financial sense. Would probably look like baby's first F1 car lol
It's good to track the misinformation, but the people that need to understand this don't care. Even as their houses are flooded, burned down, etc., they won't care. To them, facts and science are the enemy, the only thing that matters is their fabrication of reality in their head.
They're including externalities in those costs, right?
