Here is a video produced by MillMILK, which is IMO one of the best Hong Kong YouTube channels. They documented how giant bamboo scaffoldings are built on the cliff. I have verified the auto translated Eng subtitles are pretty good.

The definition of value may includes many things beside money.
A nicely written review on Google Maps brings fulfillment to the writer, the subject (e.g. business) may find the review useful for improvement, other users may also make use of the review for their better plannings.
If you're against Google, or any other mega corps, consider contributing to Openstreetmap, WikiMedia Commons etc. I have a habit of uploading photos (restaurants, foods, shops, tourist attractions) to WikiMedia Commons, organise them in categories and then add them to Openstreetmap nodes as tags.
I found that my fdroid has not been updated to the latest release mentioned in this post (1.16). I opened it and pulled down to refresh, but it didn't show any available updates to fdroid. I opened the fdroid info page in the app, and at the bottom I saw 1.16.1 was available but 1.15.6 (the installed version at time) was labeled “suggested”, not sure what that meant. I selected 1.16.1 and it installed and ran smoothly anyway.
It's a common argument of computers getting powerful so we don't need to care that much for performance and/or efficiency regarding to cpu/memory/storage etc. In some limited cases the argument is valid but most of the time it's not.
First of all while maybe desktops and mobile phones are more powerful now, but we're getting more and more lower spec devices, like smart watches. Even when smart watches will be powerful enough one day, there will be eventually smaller computers, like smart contact lens, nano robots that run in blood vessels etc.
Secondly efficiency is still favourable for powerful computers. A small percentage of cost reduction can be big money save for large corps. A small percentage of energy save of all (or just a portion of) computers in the world can be a big win for the environment.
Lastly, we also run VMs and containers everywhere. Notice how we've already come up with all kind of ways to minimise VMs and containers size and footprint, in order to run more of them, to start them faster, and to transfer images quicker.
What I'm more interested in is the comparison between the cases of Go and Dart, which both are languages developed by Google.
Why Go is so much more successful (in the system programming domain) than Dart (in the web/mobile/desktop domains)? Many of the listed good choices (e.g. being developer-focused) can be (had been?) applied to Dart as well.
It's interesting how a map design can have an influence on social behaviour and city development.
> Beck’s design may have helped persuade city dwellers to make the leap to suburbs serviced by the Underground “by making them look closer to the center, and showing how easy it was to commute.”
Somewhat related, it reminded me some new residential buildings were intentionally incorrectly named with a hint of the nearby district. e.g. A building is located in district A, but was named as "B garden". It is because district B is an over-all better living area, so the flats can be priced higher.
The required build arg and env var names are already listed in the Earthfile as `ARG` and `RUN --secret ...`. So I think specifying it in the commandline is redundant.
Usually the verification is as simple as taking a look at the key owner's ID card (Social Security card) or driver license, or any similar legal doc, just to make sure the key owner name matches the real person.
I got my key signed with the same simple procedure. The only troublesome part was to find Debian devs to meet physically, because there were only 3 in where I live (Hong Kong), and only one of them had a valid key (others have expired or just lost keys). Two signatures are needed, so I needed one more. Luckily, I happened had to travel to the US for work, so I solved my problem.
There is a Linux distro that builds packages with newer instruction sets and compiler flags for performance reasons. It's Clear Linux: https://clearlinux.org/
