This is what you should always do when you know on which computers you will run the program, like I do when writing programs for my own computers.
If you are a software vendor, or even just a contributor to some open-source program, you must make some compromise between program performance and its ability to run without modifications on an as large number of computers as possible.
Therefore you must either avoid any features available only in newer computers, or you must have some kind of processor capability detection at run time, followed by the selection of appropriate program variants.
You might not afford to prepare enough program variants, so it is likely that you would still choose to not support the most recent computers.
Could it be the plastics, or maybe the pollution in the air, or maybe the pfas in the water, or maybe the pesticides in the food, or maybe the vaping, or maybe the sedentary lifestyle, or maybe the hundreds of nuclear weapons exploded all over the earth, or maybe it’s the degradation of the ozone layer due to chemicals used in manufacturing.
> without population growth there will be no economic growth
This is not true. Productivity is the mediator between a constant population and economic growth. (The world economy has grown much faster than its population over the last 100 years. And the U.S. still out produces the more-populous India.)
I assume that's meant sarcastically, but it does sum up the capitalist mindset. It's taken along with the understanding that it's fine if all the new economic output ends up in the hands of the 1%.
It's one of the richest food cultures in the world. If you've never tried sichuan peppercorn on mapo tofu, or pickled mustard greens on noodle dishes, I think you're in for a real treat.
In terms of fresh meat and vegetables, it's pretty much all grown/produced in Australia. Anything canned / dried is often imported though. Things like rice or coffee beans you technically can buy Australian grown but you'd have to go out of your way to find it.
