My guess is that you are talking about Slovakia here.
My weak Slovak makes it hard for me to research facts, so I tend to rely on my wife; but I understand that unfortunately the parkland is not "left on its own".
The state fells a lot of timber in the parks. They use the borers as an excuse, but cut down more than they need to control them.
There's yet another sad story for forests among the negative externalities from the transition from socialism. There were and still are large areas of land divided up and owned by general public, which has a legacy today, see [1].
One opportunist where I live went and bought as many of these as he could, often cheaply off old people and made bank by letting people come and fell the forest on them. You can see it all around here - big swathes of bare earth cut through forested hills/mountains with no regard to sustainability. It really upsets me.
Yepp, that's the place. I actually come from the region just below the mountains, so see it anytime I go back home. Not nice at all.
Yes some crooks were/are using this to cut more (healthy) trees, ie having permit for 10 but cutting down 100 trees. Then there are large parts of still standing forest which completely died out due to overpopulation of tree eating bugs (which happened due to dead wood not being removed). Most of this happening in highly protected park.
Law enforcement is pretty bad back home (read - cops are often beyond useless and corrupt), with general public viewing such thievery as semi-acceptable. One of many reasons I moved out, no matter how nice the nice parts are, the bad ones are plenty and sour the whole experience.
Also did this in cryptography + coding theory class back in university days.
Our final exam had a practical code breaking test where we had a bunch of utilities and had to crack 3 different cyphers. I've always recounted it fondly.
Definitely agree on the sweetness factor. It is also the same with Vinea, which others have mentioned here. I am not a soft-drink person really, but it is more refreshing by virtue of not having such a sweet syrupy vibe.
My kids like Vinea and I feel better about giving it to them now and then, than I would with Coke, which to me is mouth-puckeringly sweet.
I liken Kofola to a mix between sarsaparilla and cola.
A while back I moved to Arch with Xmonad, dmenu, tmux etc, but for about a year now, my workstation has been the same tools on top of Ubuntu Server. I have an Ansible playbook that I can apply to a fresh install and have almost my whole working environment ready to go - just a few things I haven't got around to including/automating.
The great thing about running this kind of setup is that you need a deeper understanding of Linux to do all the things that you would otherwise rely on a fully-fledged DE to do for you. For me, this has translated into greater fluency on servers, because my daily driver more closely resembles one.
My setup is Ubuntu Budgie and i3 for hardcore sessions, but I also have been using Ansible even for configuring my desktop with great success. It's really convenient when getting new hardware or doing a reinstall.
Barbell hip thrust and bulgarian split squats, if you really want to work those glutes. Squats and deadlifts are great, but always try to include some bilateral work (eg bulgarian split squats and lunges) and exercises to focus on specific muscle groups (eg hip thrusts).
Generally the advice is to strengthen your lower abs and glutes, whilst stretching your psoas and hamstrings. But I still have very pronounced APT whilst having very strong glutes and decently strong abs, which tells me that I still have a lot of stretching to do.
What do you mean by computer nerd neck? I do shrugs, which hits the traps, but I find my neck is a bit thicker too.
Front squats isolate the quads more - I prefer to do back squats, then isolate smaller groups with quad extensions and hamstring curls; the latter being good for the glutes too.
Stretch your chest muscles, do face pulls. Do rows and deadlifts. If your posture is really bad, don't train (strengthen) chest until you've improved things a bit and have done plenty of stretching.
Then use postural reminding aids (don't use a brace unless a physio tells you to), I put a small massage ball behind each shoulder blade and the chair when i'm working, if they fall I know i've slouched.
I went from people openly telling me I needed to fix my posture, to being credited with great posture in about 4-6 months. My posture actually still needs work, because I have pretty noticeable anterior pelvic tilt, but the forward-neck issues are mostly gone.
I wish I knew about this when I wrote Scala (albeit briefly). It's one of those "ill posed problems" when debugging - what is the implicit from a third party library that is not in scope that makes this work?
There is also the Canonical Distribution of Kubernetes (CDK).
If you want to try a stripped down version on your local machine, kubernetes-core can be installed into LXD containers via conjure-up with a click of the fingers - nice for playing around.
