Same question could be asked in the aftermath of an incident. The argumentation is not so straightforward if looked upon in detail. Of course the question is if the reactors could have been „saved“ earlier on, but those decisions were made

If the hangnail causes a sepsis, it’s fatal in short time albeit the risk might have been low. But what if the skin is dry and weak? The German reactors were running on low maintenance because of the shutdown, anticipated for last December.

I am not aware of Qt being the problem here, having built large Qt apps that run stable (coding in C++ only). I guess it is rather an issue with the Python to Qt interface.

I canceled the signup progress with a bank because of a similar reason. Then I asked for deletion of my data. The customer service agreed and said that it will be deleted. However, they are still sending me newsletters. How should I trust t

The 'newer' iPhone 8+ probably won't provide a new battery either. So the change is worthwhile, still.

Which is similar to correcting subpar human results: Rather than meticulously correcting the works of a subpar programmer it is much more efficient to let a proficient developer produce the code. Or even better, engage a 10x developer.

Yes, this is why I turn off search in Spotlight (also for privacy). For window management, please consider using the Rectangle app or some other keyboard window manager. Otherwise, I believe its possible to long press on the maximize button

In my part of Europe, the lane changing car is in fault, and the cars behind (expect the first of them). I don't know where it would be allowed to stop in the middle of a highway lane for no apparent reason, especially after a lane cha

I prefer using TeXstudio as a TeX editor. Naturally, I thought that TeXmacs is the pendant in Emacs. Up to this point it did not occur to me that TeXmacs is _not_ using TeX at all. I guess that I am not alone with that thought. Does it use

For reading at night it is a delight to invert colors. Sadly on macOS 11+, Apple changed some color management so it became unusable together with the f.lux app because the warm colors become cold/blueish instead. Unfortunately, dark m

`Plant' can also mean `factory', which makes the term luckily more factual given the highly manufactured origin of `plant-based' material.

I consider it quite important how well people synchronize. It is much more fun to work with like-minded people where you can have good private talks as well because you’re sharing many values.

Paying students for classroom attendance is standard for military universities. You may try to speak to professors there. I heard it yields quite a difference in performance of average students.

Funny enough, the generated text is literally “for” them (like a fan’s song) and not “by” them. Does it still work if you replace the word “for” with “by”?

So why is the page flipping animation missing in iOS16? My blind guess: due to the rewrite of the iBooks app in Swift, they did not find a swift way to take over the performance critical code in Objective C for the page flipping animation.

The basic pattern is that new investor homes can't even be rented. The investor rather chooses to keep it in pristine condition and sell it later at a much higher price. At least in big German cities, this is what I heard.

On the creator side, it is not so easy. If I think that someone is interested in my knowledge or product, I will write a book or produce it. But it only comes available until it lands in some shelf where it can be found. Hence, this is a pu
