Yeah, that's always the thing. Sometimes it is good to have a strict guideline/structure to prevent a mess but that itself can be the source if the mess. As it n way to complicated with many unnecessary abstraction layers while a simple direct call to a function would also be good enough.
I used to like clean architecture. I implemented it in some large monolith applications but later on changed it. What stayed is the seperation of things by giving a dependency to a module/struct/class/object (via a constructor). The object does not need to know what has been passed to it, only that it can for example store something. The storing of something can be saving it to an SQL database, to a file, print it to console, etc. So basically inversion of control.
And the basic breakup between the domain logic/business logic and the things that does the heavy lifting like a database handler, API handlers, etc.
I see portable ACs with a single hose as single room ACs. The room with the AC is cooling and pulling air from the rest of the house. That air is being replaced by outside air in those rooms.
But yeah, passive cooling is always good to do. Even with the best AC.
I have added a second hose to my portable single hose AC. Just a hose that is "hanging" against the input part of the AC so if there is negative pressure, the air will get sucked in directly into the AC.
OK, fair point. I was a bit naive. I was looking at it from an European standpoint. The nights are cool here and the houses are all made of bricks and very thick insulation. In those circumstances it is possible to trap the temperature. In my house the inside temperature is currently 22C/71F and outside 34C/93F. No AC needed.
I guess it is a reference to champagne. If wine does not come from the region "Champagne" it is not allowed to be called Champagne but just white wine. Even if it tastes just the same.
I have been trying in the past to do this myself but I stopped for the following reasons:
what happens if your internet connection is lost while someone sends you an email? It probably will not reach your mailbox. If you host it on a private internet connection, it might drop now and then (ISP updates your modem at night, you need to turn off the electricity, etc)
its complicated.
mail is crucial for me. It needs to be 100% reliable.
I ended up buying a domain name and hooking it up to a premium email service (fastmail, but there are plenty others).
If not chrome, what is a good browser to use nowadays? I like Firefox but the last year I keep bumping in to websites that don't work so we'll on Firefox. Mostly web apps.
So then what is left?
I'm not a US teacher but Europe. University. A lot of teachers work in the field part time and part time teacher. We need to have a regulated outcome for our students. How we teach is up to the teacher. If I see that students can just get an A by using AI, then I'm not doing my job. So yeah, I'm not only expected to change how I teach, I'm required.
Regulate? Who is talking about regulating? I'm talking about teaching and the way we grade students. As a teacher myself I know that a lot of students (and people in the workforce) use AI. AI itself is just a tool. You can set it to full auto but that only leads to you being not needed anymore. What I teach my students is to use it responsible and that the AI is being used so it adds value to you. And not let it replace you.
In my opinion the AI is better at some tasks than humans are. Some tasks the human is better. Make yourself useful in the spot that AI is underperforming.
Edit: like some other comment was saying, "you can't chatgpt through a whole semester". And if you could, you are on the road of being replaced. If you can't, congratulations. You learn something the machine can't do.
Shouldn't the education system change then? If it is easy to get an A with a machine, should we then not focus on learning something that can't be done by a machine. I mean, it has value to know things and know what to do insituations where AI is not available.
Its one of those walled gardens with a broken car and an upside down shopping cart in it.

Don't be fooled by the headline. Look at the long term trend. It is still high. Just a bump. Its the same price as July 2025.

So many people just turn on the AC without doing anything on preventing heat in the first place. Things you can do before the AC needs to help:

I find it weird how so many companies are targeting for layoffs instead of expanding the company. You get an accelerator..

Thanks! Good tips. I will save this comment for later reference.
Yeah exactly! Any recommendations?
I just bought 2x 8gb ddr3 for €25 so I can play games from 10+ years ago.
It always blows my mind how much water there is in the sea.

I did not know this. That really sucks.
And then it turns out that it was himself last month.
