If that system existed in America, what would it take to keep it as clean and as safe? (Edit: I visited Japan and loved the train system)

And regular cell-division will include this episome the way it does the regular chromosomes?

Saw all the CSPAN videos for the hearings on the January 6 2021 attack on the US Capitol, listened to Trump's call with Brad Raffensperger, and The Trump Tapes with Bob Woodward, and Liz Cheney's Oath and Honor.

Driving aggressively occasionally causes others to slam on the brakes to avoid accidents, which creates standing waves also known as traffic jams. So speeding at least slows everyone else down.

If you have any questions, lemme know. I've been collecting questions and seeing if I can tie them all back to a particular idea. It's nice when things fit together like that

A professor once gave me a demo of a printer that could erase its own work and print a new image on the same regular printer paper.

In between the two prints he let me mark the page however I wanted so I could be sure it was the same physical page coming back out.

He admitted there was no market for such a thing but it was cool to see anyways. This was in the mid 1990s

One step closer to AI robots that can subsist by eating. :)

> it's totally accepted to leave your car engine running at all times

There is a smaller system that can consume diesel slowly and keep your fuel from freezing -- one doesn't have to run the entire engine!

If you want to hear about how bad air traffic control is in the United States, you can listen/read here https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/05/podcasts/the-daily/plane-...

There was a time recently when only 3 out of the 300+ air traffic control centers in the U.S. were fully staffed. All the rest were short-handed. Not sure how it stands today

One thing I've done in the past is put comment "tours" in the code so you can follow with your IDE's search. Each comment has the name of the specific tour, a number, and the tour guide's blurb. This lets the visitor follow a nice sequence, across different files if necessary... Sort of like the inverse of literate programming

I'm all for using comments, but you have to be on a team that's on board with them. I've joined more than one team that adopted the "the code should be its own documentation bruh" attitude, as if comments get in the way such that your IDE can't just collapse them all if you don't want to see them. In that case, I'm usually forced to give up. Lesson learned – always ask for the engineering team's stance on comments when interviewing!
