I find this usage of AI absolutely brilliant (and ethical): No editorial change or loss of information compared to human reporters, and it vastly improves the accessibility of the information. I think the "voice acting" alone is worth it if you find the visualization off-putting.

as someone who loved maths first but then do programming for a living, it's because solving puzzles is fun. I get the same dopamine hit whether it's a math problem, a coding task, or a video game level. but I think forcing yourself to like something is not the correct approach; you either like it naturally or you tolerate it for some other goals

how would you do that? once you board people on you can't kick them out; and who would you kick? the fattest ones? also, they need to rebalance with fuel if the plane is overweight. you can't do that with people on board. not to mention finding a scale able to handle a few tons...

SC requires a critical temperature, so the "cooling" part leading to the "producing" part is correct

It's not what the language is for. Go is really strong for greenfield server projects (and bad pretty much anywhere else)

can you explain? to me SOP is feature branch, work there, commit occasionally, then when it's good review, squash and merge (99% of the times done on remote). the history is clean with the ticket ID attached to the final merge commit (as the feature branch is treated as atomic)

this is not true in my experience. they are often 1 or 2 paygrades (literally) below engineers, controlled for ranks
