Let say it clearly, nature is not a lawn. In nature leaves don't need to be raked, this is the job of the earthworms and they bury leaves constantly. Controlled burns will kill the earthworm team and return mineral soil.

Forests just need to be granted by law a minimum amount of water to work. Second: We also need to put much more efforts to take care of the criminal activity, and third, we need to build better homes in the forests.

That is not surprising.

a) The downsides to smoking are far longer term and harder to feel daily

b) You're surrounded by smokers, you can literally smell them smoking just by walking down the street

c) Smoking is legal. You can just go buy a pack.

I am unsurprised that quitting smoking is harder for some people, given that. But in terms of withdrawal symptoms, that's where I think heroin is probably worse. But I also don't really know. So far someone linked a Google search and an irrelevant paper.
> Would I like an electric car? Probably, but the economics don’t work for us. 15 years ago I estimated gas would need to be above $5/gallon for years to justify the cost of a hybrid, let alone a full EV. We got close to that in the last year, but now fuel is back around $3.50 and once again the economics don’t work.

How much is electricity there?

A few months ago I did the math [1] for all US states and DC comparing a Chevy Bolt charged at home via a normal residential circuit at 8 A to a Kia Forte driven on the highway (39 mpg).

My result was that the Bolt would cost less per mile in electricity than a Forte would in gas if G/E > 9.4, where G is the cost of gas in dollars/gallon and E is the cost of electricity in dollars/kWh.

If gas is $3/gallon, the Bolt would win if electricity is less than $0.319/kWh. If gas gets down to $2/gallon, Bolt wins in places where electricity is less than $21.3/kWh.

Going the other way, here's a table of how low gas has to be for the Forte to win for a given cost of electricity:

E Max G for Forte to win
$0.15 $1.41
$0.20 $1.88
$0.25 $2.35
$0.30 $2.82
$0.35 $3.29
$0.40 $3.76

A few years ago, I had a work assignment that had me with full pit access to the Indy 500. I can't remember which tire manufacture had the deal, Firestone maybe??, but all cars ran on the same manufacture's tire. They were extremely friendly with sharing information, and it was with a bit of pride, but they told me that there hasn't been a wreck due to tire failures in a really long time. The tires have become that good. After every tire change, the pit crews take readings from the tires, and set them aside to be examined later.

Unfortunately for NASA, I think this really long time was after the designs of the shuttles. But you gotta think that some racing slicks on the shuttle would have been pure awesomeness

For Experian accounts, doing a password reset requires an SMS or phone call code.

Preventing such generator start failures is straightforward with industrial-grade fuel filters like MicFil.

These filters have a 0.5-micron filtration capability, making them a stalwart choice in generators and ships where failure is not an option.

Implementing a system that circulates the fuel/oil in the generator twice daily for a designated duration with a bypass pump to ensure cleanliness is straightforward. Issues with batteries, fuel, and water (via condensation) are the top culprits for generator start failures and should be addressed accordingly.

It is still a miracle to me why datacenters think they're special?

Not at all -- I've seen it happen many times. Higher management tries to blame somebody, that person shows a paper trail, and higher management shuts up. They can't do anything, there's nothing they can put in the employee's HR file.

People literally generate paper trails so that they can cover their ass. Many times after a particularly controversial meeting, I've immediately written out a summary of what was agreed upon and why, e-mailed it to everyone in attendance, and included the note to reply if anything is incorrect. Then when somebody's upset 4 months later and tries to blame you, you show them the e-mail and the lack of any disagreement.

Obviously at the end of the day, legally a company can fire you for mostly any reason at any time. But generally speaking in corporations, there are processes in place around penalizing employees that require documentable facts.

Of course I'm talking about places that have at least a couple hundred employees, with an HR department as such. (Smaller companies are much more at the whim of their founders, for good or bad.) But this bank certainly sounds large enough.
It's cheaper to just buy a used one with its support systems than it is to make one from zero.

It's a bit different for a mortgage. You can't transfer a property with a properly recorded mortgage without approval of the lender. So in an inheritence situation, the person who inherits the house should contact the mortgage and get the terms.

My understanding is that timeshare expenses are like HOA expenses, it's not exactly a contract, it's an encumberence on the property. The owner of the property has duties, whether they want them or not, by virtue of being the owner, not because they agreed to the situation. (Of course, it would hopefully be made clear to you that it's a non-negotiable encumberence before you accept ownership)

> But the disclaimer of interests I'm familiar with mean estate law continues to operate as if you have already passed away - meaning the same dynamic would just land in the laps of your greater family.

There's kind of two options here; maybe someone in the greater family wants it, in which case, their pain. If nobody wants it, I think there's some default end for property with no known heirs, and if everyone disclaims it, that's where it goes.
My understanding was that the two domains are equivalent. The following sites seem to confirm my understanding. Are you sure it isn't you?

> The story of Icarus is the classic tale of hubris.

Ancient Greeks thought the sun was a chariot guided by the hand of Apollo. Meanwhile in real life, we've been to the moon and back in the Apollo program and that name was chosen deliberately.

Hubris is specifically extreme or excessive pride, or dangerous overconfidence — if you're genuinely better, for whatever reason, it's not hubris. Doesn't matter why, it could you use maths to prove your vehicle won't melt, or that you starting Dinosaur Island with just herbivores until you know more about the gene splicing tech and only then introduced one carnivore that can be all alone with nothing but a tire on a rope for company like some zoological gardens look like they do with tigers.

With AI? I think quite a lot of the development is absolutely hubris.

But if you want an effective example there, it's hubris to use Ancient Greek mythology as your example. Instead, use a modern reference from the real world — there are many modern military examples (the US has Bay of Pigs and Vietnam, WW2 had Pearl Harbour and Germany attempting Blitzkrieg on the USSR, and now Russia is repeating all of the USA's mistakes from Vietnam with their invasion of Ukraine) or you could have many companies with grand visions followed by collapsing valuations (X being only the most recent in major headlines, and nowhere near the most severe).
I mean, I agree as much in that OOP in its classical Alan Kay definition has little to nothing in common with what we currently call OOP.

Erlang definitely has more in common with Smalltalk and even Lisp in terms of its architecture and also the ability to modify it at runtime. At least in elixir, state and behaviour aren't intermingled as in Java-style OOP (which PHP, C# and Ruby do mostly)
My problem with GIMP is that there's too many ways to access controls and some controls only appear in certain menus. You've got the iconographic tool picker which has submenus on right-click for some tools. Then there's the classic menu ribbon at the top which has most things you expect. Then there's the right-click context menu inside the canvas that has a subset of all other menu items. And then you have inscrutable hotkeys. Some actions are reasonable, others are not. There's too many hotkey layers with modifier keys and some actions which should be on the same layer are not.

Then there's the escape key. Sometimes it does what you want, other times it just gives you an error ding with no other information.

The core problem with GIMP is that the interface is bad. No two ways about it, it's just bad. It needs a total redesign, but that would be unacceptable as it would alienate evryobe who has already learned it.

As an editing program, GIMP does everything you need and then some. It's fully featured and functional, just not usable.

That said, GIMP is still my only choice for photo editing. All the other options are worse in different and mostly worse ways.

Employer loyalty is culturally dead and one of the side effects is the hollowing out of trade training.

It’s one of the side effects of bad corporate leadership and layoff cycles — you can continually lay off your workers but the concequence is they will expect it and act accordingly.

We need better management culture. The downsides of the breakdown in employer / employee trust is profound and the impacts will be much longer lasting and deeper than people realize.

Let's set the record straight: It was proposed by Qualcomm, and only Qualcomm presented a case against C, which was quickly and thoroughly shot down by SiFive[0].

During the discussion, it became apparent that Qualcomm was only having issues because they tried to swap the frontend of the ARM core they got from Nuvia with the minimal amount of effort.

> [...] On looking through the literature, we notice that several previous studies undertook the analysis of the optical force in the time domain, but at a certain point always shifted their focus to the time average force [67–69] or, alternatively, use numerical approaches to find the force in the time domain [44,70–75]. To the best of our knowledge, only a few publications conducted analytical studies of the optical force evolution. Very recent paper employs the signal theory to derive the imaginary part of the Maxwell stress tensor, which is responsible for the oscillating optical force and torque [76]. The optical force is studied under two-wave excitation acting on a half-space [40] and on cylinders [77], and a systematic analytical study of the time evolution of the optical force has not yet been reported.

Actually you should avoid splitting software into microservices by default until you really need it. It's easy to catch the moment - you will see that movement of some project part into microservice will help you to close many points and issues.

So:
1) Read classic books about monolith software.
2) Read decent books about microservices approach.

One of the challenges in the trades is that a fully trained worker can pretty easily leave an employer and start working freelance -- even become a competitor for the same customers as his/her former employer, and especially when there's high demand.

This scenario happened to my father-in-law. He spent the better part of a year training a guy for free (not sure if he paid the guy), expecting that he'd continue to work with him for the foreseeable future. Instead, the guy left immediately after he'd finish training and became a competitor in the same local market. It felt like the year of training had been utterly counterproductive for my father-in-law, economically speaking.

The longstanding expectation in the trades (at least in the US) is that training/apprenticeships ought to be free or even paid, even when it calls for a major time investment on the part of the instructor. Perhaps that practice needs an update.

Nice idea but I question the correctness of the data. Looking at Arabic-English names, I see Damian, Daniel and Tobias! These are definitely not Arabic names, but there has been a recent trend among Arabs living in Europe to take on European names, but that pretty much extends to every other English name! It doesn’t mean these have now become valid Arabic names.

Going through electrician’s certification right now. In Germany. It’s cheaper for me to do certification than pay another company to install new compartment for electricity meters in my old house. Apparently there are 55000 electricians in Germany and yet one must wait 2 months to get stupid fuses replaced. The politics are all in in heat pumps with electric vehicles as well as smart grinds. Looks like that I will not be afraid of layoffs in the future, self employed electrician has not much different lifestyle than salaried engineer.
There were three studies of a few hundred people max, and all three recruited participants from the alumni of a private university in the American northeast (possibly a different one, possibly the same one --- who knows?). From this we get an article that claims to know truths about all men and women, everywhere on earth.
There’s a case right now:

Multi million Euro fraud, perpetrated for 10+ years in an organized fashion by husband and wife and some helpers from Saxony. Victims were (and are) senior citizens.

The German public broadcast MDR had several stories on them. Yet they don’t even dare to show the office building on which the perpetrators work. Much less their private house, or faces or names.

The press is more afraid of being sued by the perpetrators than the perpetrators are afraid of being prosecuted.

Firstly, regarding drug testing: It's worth considering a more modern approach to this issue. In a world where many regions are relaxing their laws and attitudes towards substances like marijuana, sticking to strict drug testing policies might be excluding a significant portion of the workforce that is otherwise skilled and capable. If the concern is about workplace safety and performance, it might be more effective to focus on testing only when there's reasonable suspicion of impairment at work. This approach respects the privacy of employees and what they do in their free time, as long as it doesn't impact their work performance.

Secondly, about the salary structure: It seems counterintuitive to pay higher bonuses to those nearing retirement instead of offering more attractive starting salaries to new hires. In a market where there's a clear demand and shortage of skilled labor, offering competitive or even premium starting salaries could be a more effective strategy. This not only attracts more candidates but also sends a message that the company values and invests in its new employees. It could be more beneficial in the long term to invest in attracting fresh talent and training them, rather than relying on an aging workforce.
