could you add some context for why you think it's poor?

Could you explain which antipatterns you're referring to?

This would be a godsend to if it works in a non-clinical setting!

I always wake up after 3-5 hours of sleep, and I usually can't get back to sleep during the night. According to Fitbit sleep monitoring even in those few hours, I don't get much deep sleep. Needless to say I am very fatigued during the day. If it wasn't for sleep medication I would be a complete wreck.

Actually I think the vibe coding process does make you think about the requirements. When the LLM writes some code, and you run it, you see what's missing. Maybe this only works well for simple systems, not complex ones.

On my Kobo Libra 2 I never noticed a difference.

Getting the footnotes right is going to be really tricky. Sometimes I couldn't even read the superscript numbering on the original scans. And that was after zooming in to the max.

Reliably identifying the superscript locations should be enough since they are in the same order as the footnotes.

It's a little early for feature requests... but I would love to see an EPUB edition! It shouldn't be too hard once done with the hard work of getting the data structured structured.

My Dad was a university professor in mathematics. He loved his field! But the math department he worked in was taken over by someone who loved playing politics and maintaining power by playing favorites. My Dad refused to kiss the ring, and paid the price for that in his career advancement. He had tenure so it was never as bad as what happened to Marshal Brain.

Now we have n == 2, this could be a pattern. Of course it's a similar situation outside of academia too.

My problem is that I wake up in the middle of the night after 3-4 hours. Vaping one puff of indica cannabis puts me back to sleep until the morning. And even if I don't go back to sleep right away I'm feeling so good that I don't mind.

Apparently it's genetic. My genome has 100% correlation with genetic variants associated with insomnia.

When the battery is full where does the power produced by the panels go?

I'm not an expert; but I don't see solar as being an option for cargo ships.

Using wind power on the other hand seems like a better fit in this case.

Yes and it will take decades to replace the millions of fuel burning fuel machines that exist. I have a 5 year old gasoline car that I don't drive much. From an EROI (Energy Return on Investment) perspective I wouldn't be helping by replacing it with an EV any time soon.

I was interested in the Android positions mentioned above; but I didn't see them on the website. Have they been removed? Or should I apply to the Senior or Staff SW engineer positions?
