Thank you Christian Clason for giving us nvim-treesitter! And always remember, for each idiot insulting you there are thousands of happy, silent users.

The current AI-induced shortages aside, the times have never been better in my opinion. There is overwhelming choice; ordinary consumers can access anything from Raspberry PIs all the way up to enterprise servers and AI accelerators. The situation was very different in the 1990s when I built my first PC.

Consider handling extreme cases gracefully with a "it is not recommended to go running/cycling outside in these conditions". Otherwise I get

It will be -37°C, clear, windy so you should wear:

Hat

Long sleeves

Jacket

Gloves

Leggings

brrrrr....

My ranking of measures from most effective to least effective:

1) Do everything you can to minimize workload of weak fingers (pinky & ring fingers). Just flipping control and caps lock is often not enough.

2) Split keyboard; halves roughly shoulder-width apart. Optimize for straight wrists both at rest and "in action". This usually results in zero tilting or slightly negative tilting.

3) Concave designs.

4) Tenting.

A simple snapshot assessment and some scoring of an individual's (entire, self-reported!) social life is too simplistic. The measurements would have to be performed throughout the life of each participant with sufficiently high frequency.

1) These devices do not only massage. Depending on the settings they can force incredibly powerful contractions with muscle ache the next day. This feels like a real workout.

2) Because you do not have to think about the movement it is relatively well-suited to desk work. I can easily code during the sessions (which usually take 30-50 minutes).

3) Downside is that attaching the electrodes can take 5-10 minutes.

I came to like it and will continue using it after recovery - while working!

Of course this is no substitute for actual exercise with voluntary movements.Get up, do some push-ups, pull-ups and throw in squat jumps or similar high intensity stuff to get the heart pumping!

There are laws regulating layoffs due to operating conditions (Kuendigungsschutzgesetz). But these laws do not allow the government to intervene directly in company affairs - that would be communism! If a company wants to restructure "for internal reasons" (rationalizations are specifically mentioned) it is allowed to do so. This includes offshoring, moving workload to contractors, or simply getting rid of a department.

However: many of the large companies (eg. SAP, BASF, carmakers,...) have collective labor agreements. These agreements often exclude layoffs due to operational conditions within a certain period. Under very special circumstances layoffs are still possible in such arrangements, but the companies have to prove their economic hardship and the layoffs often end with a sort of golden handshake. If they happen at all :)

However, mandatory power recording could become quite valuable over the long run. The peloton should be large enough to allow data scientists to detect the abnormalities (unless all the teams reach an agreement to cheat consistently ;)). Once a history is built over a decade or longer, "unphysiological" power output could be detected quite easily.
