Wow. So Global Aviation puts as much carbon in the air every year from a fossil fuel source which we can't put back than the unique and terrible wildfires Canada had in 2023.
We sure need to fly less!

VW indicated they'd go back to physical buttons due to consumer and reviewer feedback. Not sure if that already happened but they seem to be listening.
To be honest, I didn't know by heart what we stated exactly. It says "Open source". When we ask we may well say "like a GitHub handle".
For people without much experience it can all be a bit daunting. They'll know about GitHub and it helps them identify what we're hoping to see. By now I expect links to open source work in a CV due to the nature of our company but it's not a requirement.
It's a balancing act in getting the right hints in a vacancy for people in the know and providing enough info for people who don't know yet.
GitHub wasn't all that bad years ago and it's easy seeing this find their way in HR forms and taking as long to be removed again. I certainly wouldn't shun entering a CodeBerg/GitLab/selfhosted url in a form where I should enter a GitHub handle.
Might it be that the chargers are mostly less known? The few times I wanted to have a charger on the road there were ample (fast) options on my way. Discoverable through various apps. This is within Europe, no idea about other places. Europe also has CCS for fast charging so no connector issue (adapter needed on Tesla but it works).
It used to be more of a challenge 10 years ago but even then is was feasible to reach destinations quite far. Detours were sometimes needed back then.
We also ask for a GitHub handle but when one supplies Codeberg or GitLab it's seen as very positive. Might not be the case for standard HR though.
Water also needs a substantial amount of energy to evaporate, hence it will sip some heat from the environment around it when it evaporates. Combined with the good thermal conductivity of steel, the bridge cools off.
You get a similar effect when walking out of a hot shower. The hot water evaporates and cools you down.
Belgian here. It's about money and racism. Flanders (north) makes more money and has a higher employment rate. The separatist movement aims to put Flanders' wealth first.
Foreigners are perceived to threaten our way of life and are perceived to cost money too. Vlaams Belang has been rather controversial in their statements earlier with a new young team creating some uproar. Both claim to benefit the Flemish citizen and will create better jobs with higher incomes.
Far left also gained ground so we are becoming more polarised.
I'm not a legal expert, but this talks about "inability to fulfill a contractual obligation" rather than the refusal to do so.
I assume the problem is slightly different and it is mainly a problem of not being able to go after the money (perhaps at reasonable cost) if the travelers have it?
Mercedes's stars have been on springs for decades indeed. You can easily push them over (but make sure you put it back nicely). I think Rolls Royce's Spirit of Ecstasy pops back into the hood but I don't know how that works on impact.
I'm not sure either, but I'm happy it exists!
I own a 1973 Citroen DS Pallas 23ie with semi automatic gearbox. Few of these survived so it should be on the road. Yet "burning dinosaurs" doesn't sit right with me. Who do you preserve a car experience for if it will ruin them anyhow. The engine was never the DS's forté so an electric engine couod make a lot of sense, especially if you can simulate the feel.
As for hooning around, I guess it could be fun. It's been pointless fun on a track before. It would still be pointless fun. Perhaps it will feel a bit more empty.
I write my notes in org-mode. It's supported in many editors in a basic form, letting you add code snippets etc in an unobtrusive way. Using a well thought out format helps you in the long run.
I use this in Emacs, through which it lets me refer to emails, execute code snippets, attach related files, fetch content on/from remote servers, send off the debug session as an html email, ... Support will depend on your editor but even as raw text it works.
I don't use something specific to make non-code repeatable as you suggest here, but you could embed a test language in an org code block.
The syntax is straight-forward and exports to multiple external formats exist (eg: html).
The semantic web and social linked data. We could have applications share data without depending on big tech, but rather based on application standards.
It can be used today and gains traction but I wouldn't mind it going faster. Especially the interoperable personal app space could use some love and attention.
