With the digital wellbeing app feature it is possible to set a timer of 0 minutes on all auto-installed and auto-reenabling apps to effectively disabling it for good.

Edit: the timer stays even after updates so the app is not enabled again

My first university course was a C programming course. The exam was a programming task to be carried over on paper.

I find myself using LLMs mostly to jump start into working and "saving" the energy that I need to start working on a new task. Whether the LLM produces something good or not, I am now in the middle of work.

It works best if I'm not already exhausted because a that point LLMs output just confuse me with a lot of text and code.

IVF in Italy is included in universal health care already, regardless of age.

If the government is going to pay for IVF for 40 years old women it would be cheaper if those women had eggs frozen at 20 because overall you would succeed with fewer embryo transfers.

Of course that's not the only policy needed, we need affordable house for families, schools, decent parental leave for both parents.

The "But Wait, We Need Filters Too" paragraph mentions "US" filter which is introduced only later on.

Having done IVF with my wife I think this is the most underrated fertility advice available today.

I don't understand why governments of countries with increasing average age and low birth rate don't pay for this for all women. This is one the best pro-family policies that can be implemented.

I found gemini 3 pro to be pretty good.

Overall understanding of the code, code generation capabilities and ability to explain are all pretty good.

It's worth mentioning debezium https://debezium.io/

It allows to publish all changes from the db to Kafka.

Mandatory quote from Brooklyn 99:

> Captain Holt: Well, this is a total waste of time. Sergeant Jeffords: Sure, but you can still have fun, even if you're wasting time. Captain Holt: That's absurd. Productivity is what makes things fun. That's why humans go to work. Sergeant Jeffords: It is?

The problem is not WeBuilt, issues usually arise with subcontracting.

Calabria is home of Ndrangheta https://www.interpol.int/en/Crimes/Organized-crime/Projects/...

Ndrangheta is a huge criminal organization with ties to politics and a lot of economic power and it is based in Calabria.

The current government actively proposed special antimafia rules for checking contractors and subcontractors for the bridge which, IMHO, reinforce the idea that it is a gift to mafia. Luckily the proposal was rejected by the president https://en.ilsole24ore.com/art/strait-bridge-no-derogation-a...

We already had issues with ndrangheta and infrastructures for example https://transparency.eu/the-eternally-unfinished-highway/ or https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gioia_Tauro

All of this only on one side of the bridge, on the other you have Sicily.

I think that there are reasonable doubts about mafia interference with the construction of the bridge.
