I'd love to see studies as to which teaching methods work and which don't.
I deal with later stages of the same process: CS graduates learning how to work on a software project/ecosystem with millions of lines of code & hundreds of people.

(Oh, and if I remember correctly, home heating in Norway is generally electric already. Maybe also true in B.C.)
There should be a bunch of places new hydro power stations could be built to meet new demand from moving off fossil fuels, but not sure if there is political will for that today.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electr… says hydropower is 98% of electricity in Norway.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electr… says hydropower is 87% of electricity in British Columbia, and 59% for Canada. (There's a reason Canadians talk about paying the "hydro" bill.)

Hydro is great in mountainous rainy places like Norway or British Columbia. And some northern places also have plenty of wind. Agree nuclear is good for many of the rest, though.

Palo Alto has "private open space" (often balconies) and "common open space" requirements.
City council debated a few months ago if roof decks could count towards common open space; they now can, *unless* they're on the second floor, thanks to one persistent NIMBY councilmember.
Must yell "special build" before the dice leave the hands of the player rolling them (who then stops doing so). Otherwise it's too late!

Is Australia's lack of recessions the result of the definition of recession referring to decline in GDP rather than GDP/capita, combined with Australia's higher population growth rate (mostly from immigration)? How would it compare if we were looking at declines in GDP/capita?

But at least the airports are allowed to charge landing fees in a way that discourages congestion.

Many airlines use their internationally configured aircraft for domestic flying at some times of day. But it's hard to get only those if a significant part of your flying is domestic. That said, accurate memory might only cover the past year or so.
Firefox blocks rendering on stylesheets in the head, and also blocks script execution on them. Issues can result from things like <script defer> that runs at weird times, addons that run their own script at weird times, and perhaps some other bugs.
Curious what addons in use.
