Well, for starters you need a reasonably long exposure time.

Isn't this the same as Elasticsearch searchable snapshots?

”Winter was short, this year”. “Spring came early”. It does not make sense to tie these concepts to a calendar. Summer is when you dare to dip your toes in the ocean. In winter we have a meter of ice. I generally place vacation weeks in July and august, because the weather is nice and other people are on vacation as well.

The statement that the seasons are wrong, does not make sense. To tie these names to a calendar, does not make sense.

This article/blog post [1] has been on HN several times before, but it is well worth a reminder.

There are no see cows mentioned in the Wikipedia article about Merovech [0]. I have no knowledge about this, but such a juicy databit should just jump at you, if it was true. Instead, a quite mundane etymology around ‘merovech’ is provided.

One of these articles are wrong :)

The link you gave does not seem to work :)

In 1995, World War III almost broke out after a rocket launch from the exact same location [1]. It was only a coincidence that stopped the Russians from doing retaliatory nuclear rocket launches. So, indeed, launching to the east is not a good idea from this latitude.

Else is a common name in my part of the world and capitalizing the word makes the connection more explicit.

Bear? It is more like a stray dog that keeps shitting on your living room carpet. You don’t need to hate the dog, you just keep it on the outside where it can run around and have a great time on it’s own.

Interesting. I came in contact with dynamic programming as a means to implement the Viterbi algorithm in an equalizer. This relates to calculating “cost” of routes through a trellis, where you accumulate partial results corresponding to alternative routes.
