Handrails example

This is one of neat example of using natural feature as a handrails as I have never thought of that. I had done orienteering recently and had gone through a few marsh before (I did get lost in the wood alone though and had to use my smart watch garmin to trace me back to my known point) and I should have used it as handrail.

Colonizing Space

Just when demographers are ringing alarm bells about overpopulation, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos says we need to populate our solar system. Mr Bezos was asked for his thoughts on humanity living in outer space in a thousand years’ time. He replied: “I would love to see, you know, a trillion humans living in the solar system. If we had a trillion humans, we would have at any given time 1,000 Mozarts and 1,000 Einsteins.…Space would be full of life and intelligence and energy.” He added that he wants to help “build heavy infrastructure that will be used by the space entrepreneurs of future generations…so that ingenuity and imagination can really be unleashed”.

Mr Bezos’ thoughts are echoed by fellow multi-billionaire Elon Musk, owner of X (formerly known as Twitter). In 2021, he said of the human race: “We don’t want to be one of those single-planet species; we want to be a multi-planet species.” Earlier this year, Mr Musk warned that: “Population collapse due to low birth rates is a much bigger risk to civilization than global warming…mark these words.” Mr Bezos conceives of people living in giant space stations. He said most inhabitants of these would visit Earth for vacations. He envisions our planet returning to its pristine environment, as factories would be built in space. He said they would exploit resources on the moon or on asteroids instead of using up Earth’s.

Gratitude

I am very grateful. Talking on the phone with a stranger and she helped me resolve an issue that I thought might be slim to none to get it resolved on time but she got it resolved today – I cannot express enough to her how I am very grateful for what she did today.

May be an image of text that says 'Do good deeds with an open, loving heart and expect nothing in return and you will never be disappointed.'

Is Hiring freeze already happening?

I used to get many inboxes in my professional LinkedIn account from fortune 500 companies’ recruitment department like Google, Meta (Facebook), especial Amazon. And just recently right after May or early June, I have zero inbox which I felt very strange and wonder if is hiring freeze really happening now? And Are we already getting into a recession?

Today I got a D.M. from my co-worker via Slack about running Chromium in CLI Linux. Chromium comes with a debugger which is really helpful for developer debugging javascript, jquery or any front end javascript libraries. My co-worker could not get it to run in Linux. I could not figure out what was the cause as it might have to involve me having to install it myself in my environment but I recalled that I wrote a blog about install chrome in Linux a while back here in my blog:

https://chanvicheka-ouk.com/install-chrome-oracle-linux-server-release-7-6/.

Google chrome also comes with a debugger so I just send the note in above blog post to my co-worker and it works. My co-worker is happy and so is me.

e.g. running chrome in cli linux from terminal point to url http://damnvulnerableiosapp.com/ and with its debugger where I can add breakpoints with or w/o condition.

/usr/bin/startx /usr/bin/google-chrome  --no-sandbox  http://damnvulnerableiosapp.com/ -- vt1

Apophis asteroid will not hit Earth for 100 years, Nasa says

NASA has been monitoring an asteroid called Apophis for 17 years. They discovered the 335-metre space rock in 2004 and put it on their list of most hazardous asteroids. They originally said it could kill over 10 million people if it hit Earth in 2029. However, their latest prediction is that Earth will be safe from it for the next 100 years. It will come within 20,000 miles of Earth on April 13, 2029, when it will be at its closest point to the planet. The scientists used radar to predict the asteroid’s orbit around the sun. The space rock is currently 10.6 million miles away from Earth.

Scientists have discovered stem cells that are vital in hair regeneration

Seven ways … to avoid hair loss | Men's hair | The Guardian

Scientists have discovered stem cells that are vital in hair regeneration process. They hope to adapt the stem cells to create a therapy for hair loss. Millions of people worldwide suffer from baldness. Baldness predominantly affects men and affects up to 85 per cent of men by the age of 50. The scientists are now embarking on clinical research and laboratory trials. They observed that hair growth was a cyclical process within the follicle. They used 220 combinations of chemicals to make the hair regrow naturally. The research could lead to hair follicle regeneration therapy in the near future, scientists say.

Denmark will build an artificial island 80km off its western coast in the North Sea

Denmark To Build World's First Energy Island In The North Sea

Denmark will build an artificial island 80km off its western coast in the North Sea. The island will be the size of 18 football fields and cost around $34 billion to build. It will produce enough electricity to power three million homes and help make Denmark carbon neutral. Denmark is Europe’s largest oil-producing country and will end its reliance on fossil fuels within three decades. It is expected to be in operation by 2033 and will help reduce CO2 emissions.
