Blah, blah, blah... "software bloat = CPU cycles = energy consumption". Another boring blog post about the same old crap.
I really was hoping to see an article about the harsh chemicals, heavy metals and exotic compounds used in chip fabrication plants, and printed circuit board production. Not to mention the all the batteries attached to them.
...or maybe at least how we consume all these devices like candy, compared with statistics gathered on actual recycling practices employed by end users.
But no. Just another head-in-the-clouds post on Hacker News about software and conflated theories about chips from some blogger who probably hasn't ever even bothered to look at the assembly produced by a compiler (or even a disassembler).

Oh well.
