Remember that there are more flights during the day than during the night. When you posted this it was late afternoon in Europe, noon on the East Coast US and early morning on the West Coast. And of course it was night in Asia.


I would file this under blogspam, given the length of the article, the atrocious oversimplifying, highly compressed map and the number of ads.

If you are interested in the geology of Scotland, there are excellent books available, including "Land of Mountain and Flood: The Geology and Landforms of Scotland". I am sure good books about the Appalachians and the Atlas are available, too.


I did something similar many years ago. I was amazed that Fortran was not more discussed as an option to write performant code within a Python / numpy codebase.

At the time everyone seems to default to using C instead. But Fortran is so much easier! It even has slicing notations for arrays and the code looked so much like Numpy as you say.


The headline should have been ...especially in English Class.

Even in the 90s most people got book summaries to get through the curriculums. I would say, the highest performing language students and teachers pets at school did exactly that.

School unfortunately is largely about reciting of the teachers knowledge, so there is no need to read the source and think for yourself.


Same for me. My Pixel magically fixed scrambled words (and was very fast doing it). iOS is terrible, even without described bug.

I am now much faster typing with the speech-to-text feature. Maybe that is what they are pushing. Maybe Apple wants to remove the keyboard and it is slowly increasing the friction so people use it less and less? Similarly how Chrome degrades browser performance until it gets restarted to force an update.


Do you have any proof about Chrome? It gets slower nonetheless.


If that is true, then the data impacted was likely account data, as we also got the email and yet we are only just starting the integration work, and we dont have events in there yet.


This is not an issue for the Government though. They can change the laws. That takes time and due process of course. But thats what the German government is doing [0]

Adding an example would be useful to see how it renders.

Obviously a cool side-project. but I dont understand why anyone would want automate CV generation for "production use".

CVs are personal, and get updated once a year or so. Each life is different, each CV is different. So it does not easily scale across people.

As someone who is reviewing CVs, I review CVs from two aspects:

1. does the person have the skills I need, and 2. can the person communicate and do they have professional pride

Its much easier to get 1 & 2 across if you craft your CV. Think about what message you want to get across and work very hard to get that message across on one page. Expand with more detail in pages 2 and following.

As a hiring manager I am filtering roughly in this order:

1. has core skills I need, if yes, then 2. has used core skills I need in enough projects to likely meet our bar, if yes, then 3. are the relevant projects close enough to what we are building?

Later in the interview process, interviewers will look at the CV more closely to prepare for the interview.

Anyway, if anything I would only start with automating from page 2 and beyond.


Thanks, adding an example output is a good idea.

I use it to customize my resume for each application, and this is an easy way for me to customize my 'source' then output files to share. Most folks I know do the same thing.

I've hired, but I'm no expert in hiring. Everyone does it differently, but I think this tool outputs ATS-friendly files, which is where most resumes go first these days.


wow your post gave me a bit of perspective. The distribution might really matter here.

Are those ~400-800 kg of aluminum oxide in cosmic dust each day uniformly distributed, and if not how big are those clouds of aluminum oxide that the earth is travelling through? Those 30kg from the satellites are going to be extremely concentrated and therefore take longer to "soak up".


Yeah, I didn't think much of it at first but you pointing out that the 400-800kg is likely spread widely (if not evenly) across much of the earth's surface while the 30kg is landing in one spot, is an interesting point.

I wonder how much aluminum oxide we get though from disintegrating meteors and other impacts every day. Quick search suggests 50-100t of mass from meteors on average each day - similar total to the dust. Those might be more concentrated and analagous to the starlink satellites.


I need this combined with eye tracking so that I can switch the focus to what I am looking at. If it was a macOS app, I would definitely pay for it. Especially if it was a one-off fee of $50 or something like that.


Can you expand on what you're thinking here? It sounds like a window switcher that followed my eyes would be pretty disorienting.


It does not need to constantly change focus to what I am looking at, but when I press alt+tab / cmd +tab etc, I want the first window to be switched to to be the window I am looking at at the moment.


Irix made panes active on mouse over. Which was at times very helpful and other times widely distracting.
