I am looking forward to a tool to summarize a 10 page long Terms of Service into a list of points about what I really need to beware of. Same for legal contracts.
I consider maintainability and readability related, but two different things. I'd expect maintainable code to be readable. However, I've encountered code bases that were easy to read, but hard to maintain. I mean that the code was hard to change after new requirements came up.
So when writing some code, a programmer needs to have some good understanding on how the business requirements might evolve, and design the code with that in mind, so the next programmer can not only easily read the code, but also change it in face of new requirements.
The problem is that predicting how a business might evolve is pretty much impossible. It might make more sense to architect for ease of change in general rather than ease of change into a specific direction. To do that (aside from the advice in the article), I like to imagine a scale where static/hardcoded/build-time architecture is on the left end, and dynamic runtime-manageable architecture on the right. To avoid over-engineering, the trick is to always lean as much as possible towards the left side of the scale. Only introduce runtime complexity when absolutely needed.
The failure mode of flying nuclear waste is much, much worse than just leaving it in the ground. It's relatively safe in the ground; the concerns are unfounded.
> Nuclear energy without subsidies is not sustainable at all.
FYI, oil & gas industry receives a lot of subsidies (just google it). On top of that, nuclear is extremely regulated compared to oil & gas. For instance, we have to capture and store nuclear waste. That's not the case for oil & gas CO2 waste.
You definitely need proper diet to put on weight, and lift heavy weights. I was always skinny pretty much all my life, and I was able to gain 5-10 pounds of lean mass during last year (mostly summer).
Because of Covid, I had to move outdoors, and discovered calisthenics. That changed everything. I feel so much more motivated to work out now. During the summer I used to go to Stanley Park (Vancouver) and stayed there working out for hours listening music/podcast. And here is the thing: you need to find some sort of exercise that you like to do, or you will stop doing it. Regarding gaining lean muscle, the general advice is to reach muscle exhaustion when doing the reps. I found that to be the key, not so much rep count (even though I follow the traditional 6-12 rep count). Anyway, you should find a lot of advice on the web.
And of course, the diet, which has been the most challenging for me. I have a hard time eating a lot of healthy calories. It's just too much food :P! I read some recommendations on drinking a lot of milk, but I guess we all have have a limit of lactose we can handle [citation needed], and it did not go well.
Anyway, I am trying to make it into a habit/hobby, studying my body and my mind, trying to find what works for me. Hope it helps.
I wonder if the issue is that Americans are "Amusing Themselves to Death" [1]. Tristan Harris read this excerpt at the very end of his interview with Joe Rogan.
Have we considered not tying school funding to property tax? What if all the property tax was (sort of) evenly distributed among schools? Similar to Canada [1] (and I bet other countries).
Interesting ... weighting yourself could be optional. And if you are below some mark/average, you'd receive a discount voucher for future flight.
As a result, this airliner would be attracting lighter/leaner customers, which would save fuel costs.
