The slovak version of an article contains different photos, and a video [0].
Also, check out the interview with nosič from poland [1] - he mentioned working there 18 years. Surely, surviving this long means that certain techniques are needed ;) When asked about back pain: "My back hurts when I sit at the computer"
hopefully in both Slovakia and Vietnam these will be replaced by cargo drones, after all Vietnamese farmers are already using them extensively, I saw great use of them in videos of saving people during the floods
Nah thats also part of historical tradition (in Slovakia). Folks doing that could earn way more working regular jobs down in city (even say Poprad, closest one). Its their passion, hobby, and there is a lot of respect in community for them. Even normal hikers can take some smaller load up, its encouraged and appreciated. It doesn't have to be 2 full 50l alluminium barrels of beer or similar 120-150kg loads.
In alps for example all this is done by choppers these days, a tradition lost.
I'm sure some application will be found for cargo drones, but they're limited in range, flight time, weather conditions, etc compared to people carrying stuff.
you forget about fake sleeping being loaded with fake dopamine hits before sleep AND broken sleep schedules; and eating fake ultraprocessed food instead of wholefoods.
I think the ivory towers because managers mostly manage by how much of the plan can we ship. It is too radical to have developers take time from that to talk to customers which is a shame for the developer, customer and business.
But browsers (and browser technologies) have documented track of being fully backward compatible up to the beginnings of WWW, and it's not going to change.
Which actually is much much better than any other environment you can imagine - unless of course you use (and want to use) that one frozen in time 25 year old PC. And pray nothing breaks (y2k bugs and whatnot).
If the software is open source (and works offline) you can have it functional in 10 or 20 more years. And it will be "locally-installed software you own" you want.

That can however be undermined if web apps are poorly built and depend on quirks and behaviors specific to a particular engine (or in some cases, even particular versions of a particular engine) in order to function.
So I would say this benefit applies specifically to web apps that thoroughly apply KISS — that is, using only the most boring, solidified, widely supported APIs and favoring robustness over bells and whistles — and make a point of testing against all three major engines. Those apps will likely stand the test of time and run even under future new engines. On the other hand, the ones with severe shiny API syndrome that only ever get tested against the latest Chrome are probably much more brittle and more likely to be broken N years after abandonment.
"Fully backwards compatible" isn't really true, and even if it were, then you're stuck using browser-based software and its myriad of inherent downsides.
People (generally) use web-based apps that are good enough in spite of the web stack -- not because of it.
But you have to get the software somehow? Once you get it, it works offline. The same here I guess: once you download the source code/binaries into browser's cache (that can store things indefinitely) it's offline.
Those were driven up by scalpers during the crypto stuff. The manufacturers were still selling their cards for a reasonable amount, you just couldn't get one because scalpers and crypto farmers had bot armies gobbling up supplies.
The ram pricing is coming directly from manufacturers.
>Graphic cards prices normalized quite quickly after crypto boom
Eh, I don't think we were on the same planet then. Even post crypto pre-AI GPUs were far more expensive than they were before said crypto. We just got used to paying $1000 for a mid tier cards.
Too bad Pixel support for factory-broken screens sucks so my "well designed" Pixel has green vertical line in the middle of the screen. So detrimental to my sense of aesthetics.
