children are pack animals ... as a kid the neighborhood was full of children and all of us had freedom to walk or when older ride our bikes anywhere always in a herd ... this is still the case in that tiny one red light village ... challenge is due to globalization most of the factories within driving distance have shuttered so working age adults have moved to where the jobs are leaving that village dominated by grandparents ... same freedom exists yet without the density of kids
years ago in Japan daylight and nighttime were each given 12 hours and clocks were made to adhere to this ... throughout the year as summer days grew longer and nighttime shorter their clocks adjusted to make an hour longer or shorter self adjusting
take your abandon laptop which still runs and install Ubuntu on it ... you will see how easy linux is today ... there is no justification for microsoft windows in 2026
I've had haggis in the UK and it's absolutely delicious. interesting thing is if you go to an Arab butcher shop in Brussels they have essentially the same thing. they don't call it haggis but it's the same ingredients so the plot thickens as to the history, I think it's a universal treat
after+30 years writing code in a dozen languages building systems from scratch I love vibe coding ... it's drinking from a fire hose ... in two months I vibe coded a container orchestration system which I call my kubernetes replacement project all in go with a controller deciding which VM to deploy containers onto, agents on each host polling etcd for requests created by the controller ... it's simple understandable maintainable extendable ... also vibe coded go cdk to deploy AWS RDS clusters, API gateway, handful of golang lambda functions, valkey elasticache and a full feature data service library which handles transactions and save points, cache ... I love building systems ... sure I could write all this from scratch by hand and I have but vibe coding quickly exposes me to the broad architecture decisions earlier giving me options to experiment on various alternatives ... google gemini in antigravity rocks and yes I've tried them all ... new devs should not be vibe coding for the first 5 years or more but I lucked into having decades of doing it by hand
