@sun @aetios @mametsuko Indeed, I don't know why I feel compelled to post shit every time I see you post anything.

@sun @aetios @mametsuko My daughter lived in Akita and sent letters about how she hated the snow and the sound it made under her feet.

Let's see
"Nagano experiences a broad contrast ... the coldest period is winter, particularly during January, with temperatures fluctuating between -4.1°C (24.6°F) and 3.5°C (38.3°F). "
And for Arizona
"December ushers in winter in Flagstaff ... with average high temperatures fluctuating between 42.6°F (5.9°C) to 53.1°F (11.7°C) and lows reaching down to 24.8°F (-4°C)."
Oh wow, Japan wins by 0.1 degrees C.

@sun I unfollowed you a few times, as part of re-tuning my accounts. I have many and they all follow their own sets.

@sun I miss the feeling of 1995 Linux, when ssh-ed into vger and hit up Linus for talk(1) with a question.

@lain What if we overlay that map with a map of places where shopping carts are available and returned?

@sun That's how the biggest disaster of my career began (the biggest so far, of course).

@sun @verita84 @vriska Maybe. However, I remember well how the Starlink started. SpaceX opened an office in Seattle, and hired a bunch of retreads from Boeing and such. They made the project disastrously late, and they could not afford to be late, because the licenses issued by the government specified a certain number of satellites in orbit by a certain date. Musk came to fix the problem, and he did. He listened to the reports and fired the whole leadership. Everyone. Then he promoted promising underlings. He put the thing on track. It's a fact.
To be sure, first Starlinks were significantly de-scoped. They launched with no inter-satellite links, for example. So they worked like Globalstar. But they did work nonetheless. And that made the difference. The traditional management was unable to do what had to be done.
Many such cases. IMHO the victims of Musk's management ought to STFU.

@sun This is why I'll never do gamedev.

@sun Apropos that
There's a space company in San Francisco, which operates on the gamedev model, Planet. I suspect that gamedev execs founded it, although I didn't investigate. Maybe they just saw good ideas floating among the tech bros in Frisco bars.
Either way, every time they mass-fire people, the space media are very excited and take it as a sign that the company is cooked. It happened at least 3 times in my living memory. They just cannot fathom the idea of getting rid of perfectly good employees, considering how expensive and difficult it is to find qualified talent.
Now that I'm in space tech, I live in a constant fear that the execs realize one day that model of total exploitation brings results.
Coincidentally, my product is a critically late. We had a regroup, where the boss declared a crunch and longer hours (paid). But the boss's boss said: "I don't want us to become like SpaceX, where people work for a year and burn out." His message was that the crunch will be limited by the product schedule. I was thinking, what if they realize that SpaceX is the leading space company period.

@sun @ube Garden is a big difference. You are limited to containers in an apartment.
I'm not shittong on urban gardeners. I have an avocado in a container myself, not to mention strawberries and tomatoes. Persimmon is also viable. But apples are out of question. I also have a hickory, which I planted by mistake, because I mistook it for a pecan. ^_^
