I guess you can have heated lens just like you have heated mirrors (I'm living in Brazil so I don't have this problem). I like to use darker film in side windows, but it makes hard…

Right after finishing Electronics vocational school I spent the next year working as an intern at Unicamp (Campinas University in Brazil). The job was at the computer lab of the Sc…

It is a catch 22: unless you are spending at least half your time prospecting new clients it is hard to keep a steady income, but it is hard to invest that much time in the commerc…

It may come as a surprise, but neurotypical people also show stereotypical movements (stereotypy is the term used formally in scientific literature for this behavior). There is a n…

I'm OK with GMO products, what I hate is: * GMO that don't produce viable seeds so I have to buy seeds from you every season. * GMO that only works with some other supply available…

Python is kind of a strange beast - definitely imperative but with some FP-ish features: functions first-class citizenship, list comprehensions, generator functions/expressions (an…

Have you tried Python's SQLAlchemy, the ORM parent posts are praising? The `sqlalchemy.sql` module is awesome and pretty much maps 1:1 to raw SQL. Composing SQL expressions using t…

The space elevator itself would be something outrageously expensive and dangerous to build - but there will always be people willing to take the challenge.

I just finished reading the "Mars Trilogy" by Kim Stanley Robson where there is a tension between the "red" and "green" parties (first group want to keep Mars pristine, the other w…

The moon has ideal conditions for solar energy harvesting: no atmosphere, no weather... Since Project Apollo in the 1970s it is known that all the materials needed for manufacturin…

Leaving moon's gravity well may be cheaper than getting to space from earth but it is far from free. With a space elevator in the moon you can use raw material from the moon to ass…

In Brazil there is a concept called Business Entity Disregarding (Desconsideração da Personalidade Jurídica) that can get both ways: make partners liable for company debts or compa…

As I understood, once you hire someone in France the labor code makes it virtually impossible to terminate the contract. In Brazil employers have to pay a fine if they fire a worke…

Interesting, so in France you can't fire someone but can legally make his life miserable through constant relocation? Brutal...

Interesting, in Brazil all the companies in the chain are liable in a labor-related law suit. Before the 2017 Labor Reform[1], frivolous law suits by former employees were a billio…

You can flag it for reopening (but you need at least 3k rep IINM).

If you run a terminal multiplexer like byobu you may want to run it only for the ssh connection, not for every sub-shell (otherwise you may get a warning about running a multiplexe…

If you are on 3.7 you can add this import: from __future__ import annotations And then forward references don't need to be strings. I wonder if this could fix the generated page.

I think transcription (even if not perfect) helps a lot when English is not your first language and you are still training your ear. Remember not everybody processes audio the same…

It is like JavaScript: I don't hate JS itself, I hate spaghetti-code people write with it (but I do hate automatic type casting). I don't hate C, I hate dangling pointers and buffe…

Sound reasons but there is nothing preventing you to adopt this pattern with Jinja. :-) I'm glad that Jinja2 templates are now first-class citizens in Django as I care about perfor…

It is a design decision from a time where the general belief was that template designers played in a lower league compared to "real" software developers. It is 2019 and personally …
