Off topic: Is the grammar off here? Shouldn't it be "by Claude" instead of "with Claude"?

Unless I read this wrong, it sounds like the author is after a calendar background template that they can write over on their tablet (or ReMarkable/etc) device.

This blog post lists problems but offers no solutions.

Yes, complain all you want about what companies SHOULDN'T do. But then what do you feel is a better approach?

From my experience, you ask 4 software engineers what a proper interview should look like and you'll get 4 different answers.

The importance of an SRS system like Anki cannot be overstated. However I can see how this might be a burden to some when it comes to entering in your own sentences.

For this, I highly recommend making use of your OS's dictation (speech to text) feature. You get to practice speaking _and_ enter sentences much quicker.

Can someone explain what the deal was with selling slaves to Ireland? It makes it seem like Ireland was some wealthy nation buying slaves.

Yes, but on the other hand seeing an article about how "European rivers (were) restored" also let us know that the charities we donate to actually do make a significant impact.

Typo in title. It's Inequality, not Unequality.

"The critical temperature beyond which photosynthetic machinery in tropical trees begins to fail averages approximately 46.7 °C"

I know the tropics are hot, but the idea of accepting ~45c as "average" sounds insane.
