Why not write him and ask? He stopped teaching because of a drop in demand. He clearly loves teaching. If you have a team to educate and a budget to pay him for his time and expertise, he might be willing to run a class for your team.

In practice, one would use energy recovery ventilation to exchange air with outside rather than a CO2 scrubber (not clear if you actually meant a scrubber). The place to look is existing codes for ventilation. Exempli gratia: https:/

This is the most important point: it seems like AI tool use undermines one's ability to use the AI tool.

Once upon a time. The modern cheating student does the following: - Quick cell phone photograph of the page, phone placed in lap - OCR + AI = answer - Glance down, copy - Repeat For a more surreptitious variant, use the front-facing camera

The technical ability for the student to cheat in the present day is unprecedented. For exams in most subjects, the cellular phone is held in the lap. The student needs only briefly expose the exam page to the camera of the phone: immediat

Living now in Germany :) I ring a very nice bell and can "mute" the bell (touching it with my hand to stop the ring just after thumbing the striker), so when ringing for information rather than hazard, it's a short quick ring

Bicycle bells are mostly for warning pedestrians when approaching from behind and passing on shared-use trails. I ride on shared infrastructure and cannot afford to build new infrastructure when my town will not. Not warning a pedestrian wh

Understanding that it's not a perfect metaphor... plenty of vim users seem happy to switch to helix. Took me about two weeks and I'm not looking back :)

A source control tool such as git or mercurial will solve this. Any collaborator who uses vi should have no issues with a git/hg workflow for managing changes.

I am not convinced of the wonderfulness, because the study implies that AI does not improve task completion time but does reduce programmer's comprehension when using a new library.

TLDR from the paper ( https://arxiv.org/pdf/2601.20245 ) >We find that AI use impairs conceptual understanding, code reading, and debugging abilities, without delivering significant efficiency gains on average.

Agree about the possibility of infra nightmare, especially in the "SVN era" -- but in 2026, it's pretty straightforward to run a gitlab instance (takes about an hour to set up, most of which is DNS and TLS stuff, ime) for a c

Agreed: information-dense isn't bad at all. It's a reason for peer review, though: people other than peers in the field have a much harder time reviewing an article for legitimacy, because they lack the context. I also don'

Yes, there are often strong reasons to have peers as gatekeepers. Scientific writing is extremely information-dense. Consider a niche technical task that you work on -- now consider summarizing a day's worth of work in one or two se

Yes, this is true. Realistically, a "charging station" for a ship this size would have a large pierside structure to transform/regulate, and a very large cable array that would probably be moved to the ship via a crane. The
