UV radiation is the disinfectant. Also the vast amount of air makes a dillution of germs and aerosols more likely which is great. With regards to sunlight exposure, sunbathing in the alps was a go-to tuberculosis treatment prior to having a

yeah, but also even before they were much more active in starting a project than interested in maintaining it.

The original author has a habit of abandoning software projects after a while. But I think they managed to get it into the pypa docs (python packaging 'authority'), and so I guess someone has brought it back.

Yeah, trouble is it always depends on the system for me. At home, pipenv seems to work most reliably, at work I had more success with poetry... Still, both poetry and pipenv work better for me than conda because they do have a lockfile mech

What Berlin got right is that they tried to get all of society into the same building. As in the well-off into the 1st floor (Belle Etage) the poor under the roof, but the idea was to have the doctor living in the same building as the plumb

well, its a well-informed meta-prior that when Gelman is involved, the model won't be absurd :-)

Why the need for the corporation? The foundation could hire employees, coordinate development, etc. right?

Well, our municipal waste collectors kind of cross-finance fees for collecting the non-recyclable waste with the profit they make from selling recyclables. If someone steals cardboard, the other collection fees go up.

Health claims surround milk substitutes, without the necessary evidence. Dr Jason Fung writes about an over emphasis on data gathered from experiments with mice that guide public health recommendations. I think that's an important poi

I would say in Germany that balance is a little different. Herbicides and pesticides in lawns and gardens aren't so widely used as in the US (agriculture of course different story). At the same time, light pollution by streetlights is

more of a Python person here, but in the python world its really similar. People feel like their service is too small / not a good fit for django and build Flask services. I like Flask, its really nice. But no 2 Flask services do look

Its a great article, unfortunately it barely mentions Lisp's function composition capabilities and thats a bit unfortunate because it makes I guess a nice case for differences in API design in Haskells standard library and Common Lisp&

I'm German so I live in a democracy with proportional representation and coalition governments. For the last years we had a coalition between labour and conservatives, with conservatives being the larger party. That setup was kind of t

> We can, can't we? "We" as in professional software developers. I always thought of this word-hyping of a management thing and a buzzword pool for non-techies. I know this influences our work, but that doesn't keep u

The whole AI/ML stuff has become so hyped up that its probably time to find another topic of interest in software engineering for me. Its a weird melange nowadays where frameworks and "academic credentials" are fused together

Thats a very valid comparison I think. (although I'd argue that git's success stems from not pinning down the workflow early on, like competing DVCS did).

I smoked occassionally at parties in college. Then there was this week where I was at 4 parties or so and the following week I caught myself feeling that cigarette craving. That's when I stopped smoking at parties. I felt how soon that

I use an 0.3 l (like 10-11 fl oz) glass bottle that works just as well for rinsing with water.

Depending on the region, "I don't drink beer" can sound a bit snobbish (as in "I only drink wine and champaign"). Other than that I've never heard anything bad when I ordered Apfelschorle (apple juice + carbona

Prevalence of Markdown is to a certain extent accidental. It is one of those many markup languages that are easy-enough to reimplement which helped with the spread and I think it was supported on Github early on. Asciidoc is much more compl

I was interested in programming, don't really know why but the thought fascinated me to be able to instruct a computer to do things you want it to do. So I had tinkered with QBasic and Pascal. A friend of mine went the C/C++ route
