Canada's maple syrup reserve hits 16-year low
In 2021 and 2023, warmer spring temperatures felt across the country resulted in a reduction in maple syrup production, which fell 21% in 2021 from the year prior.
This reduction, however, came on the heels of two consecutive record years of production, in 2020 and 2019.
Core principles of system design
Stateful applications often require additional mechanisms to capture progress and restart gracefully. Stateless applications can perform tasks without significant local dependencies by using shared storage or cached services. A stateless architecture enables your applications to scale up quickly with minimum boot dependencies. The applications can withstand hard restarts, have lower downtime, and provide better performance for end users.
The main target of writing this post is to familiarise with the procedure of writing a simple CmakeLists.Txt file, which is very simple to write.
History & Strategy of Renaissance Technologies
RenTec’s alchemic colossus has posted annual returns in the firm’s flagship Medallion Fund of 68% gross and 40% net over the past 34 years, while never once losing money.
But at The Verge, our longstanding rule is that we review what’s in the box, never the promise of future updates, and right now, it’s inexcusable that this stuff doesn’t work on a device that costs as much as the AI Pin does.

It works super well.
I highly recommend running this against your photo library.
Declaration of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith “Dignitas Infinita” on Human Dignity
Every individual possesses an inalienable and intrinsic dignity from the beginning of his or her existence as an irrevocable gift. However, the choice to express that dignity and manifest it to the full or to obscure it depends on each person’s free and responsible decision.
Getting into robotics as a software engineer
Something you’ll realize while working with mechanical engineers is that they look at the world differently. The world around you is malleable, to a much higher degree than you realize.
