Is there q good book you’d recommend to learn about this topic? I know the basics of biology but never went too deep into the basics of plants fb I always wondered how they actually work. Kinda worried when I have to transplant something on how long they can stay without soil etc
This sounds like another device that will end up in a drawer, as an experiment it looks good but not sure what you are going to do on a 4" inch display that cannot idle at low milliwatts
Many people around me are doomscrolling even on family meetings. Any downtime people have it goes automatically to the phone.
More than a newsletter what it really takes to stop that behavior is to shutdown access to the device for a couple of weeks. But that takes a lot of willpower because of the addiction.
I just publish via blogger. In the past I have checked other options but I always spend more time looking for interesting ways to deploy content than writing content
If your city and place of living has a good public transport system that’s feasible. The reality in countries like Spain is that once you live somewhere outside of the center the public transportation essentially sucks.
That said this will only speed up electric vehicles but with these prices I don’t see how many people are gonna afford them.

Chunk 1
Unlike the day of the week and the date, %s and %z are independent, so I don't see the problem.
> Here, independent means orthogonal, so changing one doesn't change the other.
It doesn't mean there is a problem, it just means they are different.
For example, it is possible to write a date in UTC and then change it to local time.
But this time it's only %s.
Suppose I am in Japan and dealing with UTC time.
Let's say I'm in Japan and I'm dealing with UTC time.
The given time is in UTC, but I'll refer to it as +09:00.
2001-02-03T04:05:06 UTC (+0900)
Since this is not common
DateTime.parse('2001-02-03T04:05:06').new_offset('+0900')
This is not common, so the description would be something like
Now, this kind of description is not currently in ruby, but I feel that what is required for the '%s %z' thing is something different from what we have been dealing with, which from my point of view includes this kind of thing.
Chunk 2
Perhaps if you could elaborate a bit more on what a date is or something like that, it might make it more understandable.
When I say date, I am including such time.
I think of this date as a kind of name assigned on a time axis based on certain rules. In space, it is like a milestone.
There are actually more imperfect dates, which are also dates.
Sometimes they can be identified by context and other information, and sometimes they can't.
Chunk 3
If you think the time difference has special significance, you can describe it in local time.

I'm not sure what you mean.
Since %s seems incomplete to begin with, I don't know why you are so hung up on it.
If we replace %s with space, we can't place milestones with it, it just shows the distance, and we can't define the distance, can we?
Also, just for the record, I would like to confirm that what Mr. Tanaka is referring to as fixed time difference is not universal.
The given self-evident local time is also useful, and the time zone = time zone information, not time difference.
It contains more information than just time difference.
Isn't it important to have the actual time system and format we are referring to, such as daylight saving time?
In that sense as well, I feel uncomfortable with the trend of %s bias.
I understand your feelings. I had a very interesting project at my FAANG start, it was fun, required creative and learning new things.
With time I got assigned stuff that wasn’t challenging, and that hit me hard. And also locked in legacy code or big-Corp only way of doing things.
But you have to remember that you have a very good job. Most people would like to work there someday, and it opens many doors.
It’s yours to decide, but I would bet in an internal transfer. If nothing is interesting, starting exploring other options. But big Corp is always like this. The only difference is if you are lucky with your manager and/or project
The alternative is to shift to other services that almost no one uses or requires technical knowledge to setup or keep talking to your friends and family.
