I think I got to the end of act 2, but there was some text I couldn't scroll through on a smartphone screen, so couldn't get past it. Will have to try again when it isn't 1am!

Am I right in thinking it didn't matter which star it locked onto, and it didn't need to know which star it was? Would it be a problem if it locked onto another celestial body (e.g. Venus)?

I started using poetry abiut 4 years ago and definitely hit a lot of bugs around that time, but it seems to have improved considerably. That said, my company has largely moved to uv as it does seem easier to use (particularly for devs coming from other languages).

Out of interest, how are you approaching this? Are you trying to "refactor" in specific areas, or is it somewhat more ad-lib? Do you have something in mind for the next "volume"?

You joke, but there are plenty of companies working on something similar to this, for example: https://www.sw.siemens.com/en-US/technology/generative-desig...

I haven't touched CAD for a couple of years, but I get the impression that (inevitably) the generative design hype significantly exceeds the current capability.

I'm no expert, but I'm fairly sure that UK GDPR applies, which is effectively the same as the EU version https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/data-protection-and-the...

"Years of abnormally low rainfall" - at what point does "abnormal" become normal?

Except when it's critical software in an aircraft, nuclear power plant, submarine, financial institution etc etc

Wow, a yard AND a driveway?

I think the idea here is that children need to have the opportunity to explore the wider world independently, not just a 50 metre circle around their home.

This seems to happen far too much. Nowadays usually causes me to give up on a site and go somewhere else. Feels like eliminating stuff like this should be low-hanging fruit UX-wise (albeit not especially exciting, I guess)

How is this an intense road? It looks pretty wide and clear of traffic with a few parked cars. If it can't handle this, it's got no chance in an average city in Western Europe.

Surely this is showing correlation, but not necessarily causation. There are probably many fields where improvements in X have happened, along with greater compute power. How much the improvement in X is attributable to greater computing power is surely very hard to quantify. Or am I missing something?

Interesting to see the ways in which even railways have technical debt!
