but you own those repos, and you own the tooling on them. if tooling sprawls in many repos, it can sprawl in sub areas of a mono-repo. it's interesting that it's less work to build a new source control system versus manage multi-repo and cross builds.
way back in the dark ages when I was in college I used the hell out of back files. we all did. Over the years the teachers had added more and more homework because the students using backfiles were answering more and more homework correctly. The teacher swore that home work should take about 3 hours a week. the smartest guy I knew did it once without backfiles, because the fraternties, the holders of the backfiles, were all at an off campus event. it took 17 hours. he just gave up and used the backfiles.
I don't think homework load has adjusted in some classes. it was hard to do the homework and learn honestly, it was just copying and finding previous answers. it actually detracted from the learning experience.
it would be nice to have something that could explain it to me, like a tutor. My mom paid for me to have a private tutor to get me through a compressed calc 3 summer class. Best I scored in a math class other than diffy-q.
so I think it's, like everything, on the student. but fuck the homework load at some places, it's not a good solution.
What city/country is that? Your must have the most silent trash trucks in the world if it's the trash can that makes the sound and not the vehicle and hydraulics themselves! Very curious if those are electric already then perhaps?
My fire/emt up in the mountains near seattle requires 48 hours a month and around another 8 hours a month training (which can be concurrent with shifts usually). But that also includes sleep if you're not called. As others have said, it's dependent.
The CE hours is really annoying and really unclear until you realize they're replacing a self attestation method with CBT automation and software. I had easily more hours of certs in one year than I needed for my bi-annual cert. Heck Hazmat ops or awareness covered half of the total hours.
It is annoying though. I'm pretty sure they're trying to make it easier but it's confusing. The real issue is that none of the old folks at my station care about keeping up the NREMT up as they don't even have one, and the career folks just care about state which is automatic as part of doing their jobs.
Just remember that for every CBT you do online, you also do a hour of practical sign off.
I would find it quite hard to stay in practice just doing the test, nothing beats the randomness of patient contacts.
I would guess marathons select for people trying to push themselves hard, in a short period of training time and for a relatively short period of time. I also wouldn't be surprised if marathon attendance skews upper 40s / low 50s, male, and recently got in shape. That's a bit different than sitting in the desert doing drugs. the risk there would be respiratory distress / fent od is my guess.
it's a lot easier to get someone out of an opioid od in the field than it is out of cardiac arrest, or at least the treatment protocol is.
AFAIU, the San Francisco peninsula (San Francisco + San Mateo counties) has one of the densest networks of ALPRs in the country. You can't drive more than a mile or two in the peninsula without passing an ALPR. And my educated guess is this is a response to the rise of property crimes, including car break-ins and theft, over the past 15 years, which became a huge political issue, locally and of course nationally. Those crimes began to drop precipitously after it became evident that criminals were being tracked and apprehended by the cameras, and I doubt it's a coincidence. IOW, at least in this region the cameras exit because of crime, and they're working.
That's not a defense of these wide ALPR networks, and certainly not a defense of how they're managed. But my point is that it's a thorny political issue because in many areas they actually work, at least to some significant degree. Whether or not they're worth the privacy cost, or whether or not alternatives would work sufficiently well, are fair questions, but precisely because they're fair and contentious questions means preventing their use won't be easy politically. Many of politicians and LEO officials pay lip service to privacy concerns, but behind the scenes they're wary of doing anything that would rollback the capabilities these systems provide.
