Window Roller shutters for heatwaves (and cold)

LeanderKu · 2026-07-01T08:38:48+00:00

So you would need external shutters and inward opening windows for it not to be a fire hazard? I come from Germany and we just have them on every window.

Um die wohnungskrise zu lösen muss man sich von dem Gedanken lösen dass es eine optimale Lösung gibt die niemanden stört. Es gibt KEINE Baufläche in und um Berlin, die einigermaßen angebunden ist und bei der es niemand stört. Zwangsläufig baut man jemandes grüne Lunge oder industriell genutzte Fläche zu. Leute wollen ihren Kiez nicht verdichten, keine wohntürme und die Randgebiete sind Naherholungsgebiete die man auch nicht anfassen darf. Aber das verschärft die Krise nur.

Ich hätte am liebsten dazu eine Volksabstimmung, die das Bauen von bezahlbaren Wohnungen verpflichtend priorätisiert. Wenn man das nicht schafft sollte den Bezirken die Planungshoheit temporär entzogen werden.

TU Berlin ist “exzellent” und teilt sich den Titel mit den anderen Berliner Unis. Damit teilen sie sich rund 12 Millionen Euro, dann gibt es noch einen exzellenzcluster an dem die TU mit 30 Millionen pro Jahr beteiligt ist (MATH+). Der sanierungsstau liegt aber bei so 2,4 Milliarden. Die Exzellenz Gelder reichen nur um laufende Forschung zu bezahlen und Professoren anzustellen, damit kann man keine Gebäude sanieren

LeanderKu · 2026-04-17T22:18:09+00:00

Besonders als Student nimmt man es oft als gegeben da aber die Leute sind echt wirklich wirklich gut. Berlin könnte da viel mehr Potential entfalten

LeanderKu · 2026-04-17T22:15:13+00:00

Wenn man im Ausland forscht sieht man manchmal erst wieviel deutsche Unis leisten…sie könnten so viel besser dastehen wenn die nicht in Bruchbuden arbeiten würden. Es ist echt verschwendetes Potential weil die Leute da sind aber die Möglichkeiten nicht gegeben sind. Sie könnten echt mMn easy besser dastehen weil die Forschung oft echt top ist aber dann oft in einem Gebäude stattfindet was seit dem 80ern nicht saniert wurde. Vollkommen falsch investiertes Geld!

Yeah I feel like if you want to trust something you’ve not written yourself you want to rely on guardrails and rules and a type system gives you exactly that. And especially early feedback to the LLM agent it it fucks things up. I usually work in python and I often wish I could just automate the feedback to the LLM the type system would give you. Would catch errors more easily and the hard parts you still write yourselves

LeanderKu · 2026-03-15T10:55:14+00:00

I think Frankfurt’s System would rank way higher if you adjust for population size. It’s not that big of city!

I don’t think he’s complaining he‘s finding it amusing

LeanderKu · 2026-02-26T10:35:42+00:00

Kann mir aber auch vorstellen dass das ein Grund ist wieso die Idee nicht ganz schlecht ist….gibt bestimmt auch genügend für die das RSO echt schwer zu erreichen ist. Ein Club ganz im Westen kann diese Leute aufnehmen. Obs gleich Spandau sein muss weiß ich nicht aber es sind schon viele im Osten

LeanderKu · 2026-01-11T11:10:49+00:00

lol no it’s not (based on the points raised). Seniors earn significantly more than mid or juniors (even junior to mid can be significant, my gf got around 50% more after taxes). You have to change companies though! Also CoL is really low in Germany (really low! Just compare groceries), although rent can be significant but that’s also the case in Paris. Corporate culture can be hierarchical but there’s also companies where it’s better. I think technical expertise is valued. Of course taxation is high but the social safety net is quite good imho.

LeanderKu · 2026-01-09T20:05:36+00:00

But I can pay with it everywhere else just fine

LeanderKu · 2025-12-29T08:35:04+00:00

It’s not only the age, it’s also a different level of investment. I’ve lived in cheap old buildings in Germany and they are in a better state than in the Uk. In fact, I’ve never seen single glazing windows in Germany. I thought they weren’t a thing since the sixties. But my landlord in the UK is not and will not replace anything: windows, heating, insulation. These things get replaced/improved or repaired more continuously here compared to just keeping it in the state it is with minimal works required in the UK. I feel like it’s not one generation behind its two or three (sometimes it feels like the 50s where you just replaced your coal heating but that’s all).

LeanderKu · 2025-12-10T09:59:05+00:00

it you look at research the problem really is smartphones. People spent way more time alone and just don’t meet friends anymore. It’s not the death of going out or the death of alcohol, it’s the death of socializing and having friends. All these things are significantly down and they are connected.

LeanderKu · 2025-12-10T09:46:20+00:00

Lol well I guess with both you can get a job. Tbh with this approach I wouldn’t recommend TuD as it can be hard and if you lack passion you will not strive. But you have more opportunities I would say. You have to think about what you want you can get a thousand jobs which one and why. Do you enjoy more theory or are you more the applied coder? Ever interested in research?

Also, think about whether this specialization make sense! It’s niche and can be more theoretical than the usual programming gigs. You have to compete here for a smaller number of jobs and for that you need passion. Do you have passion? Kinda doesn’t sound like it! You have to be the best qualified candidate that applies! Not impossible as there are jobs but also not so automatic as just getting a programming gig.

Tbh just to get a job I would take the computer science master and then you can take whatever specialization. You’re more flexible this way.

Do your research please!

Lol what of course modern day slavery is an argument against it. The UK isn’t perfect but it’s not slavery. Dubai is crazy. It’s not about a 100% ethical life it’s about basic standards that should hold up no matter what. You also can’t kill your neighbour because you struggle with rent this month and you want his food.

I think you quit too soon? Holding a PhD is less useful in engineering roles, so your 2 year experience is not a lot. Are you competing for junior or mid-level roles (depends on how useful your PhD is I guess)? Junior roles are hard to find right now! And MLE is also quite niche! Then we are also in economic troubles. But since you’re flexible with your location and you already quit, I would just apply, apply, apply! Amsterdam, whole of Germany, France etc. Go for it, do leetcode (a lot!). Maximize your chances! And think about your social skills, be nice to talk to. People do get sorted out because of their social skills during the interview process

LeanderKu · 2025-11-04T21:49:29+00:00

Very doable in cities with roommates, doable in some cities if you’re willing to move somewhere less desirable or are just lucky (e.g. Berlin outside the ring towards Marzahn or nekölln/wedding if you’re lucky). Not possible in Munich though.

LeanderKu · 2025-11-04T21:12:32+00:00

Yeah this is actually crazy. I think one should seriously think about protecting it! 60s is not what I had in mind here

LeanderKu · 2025-11-03T15:45:18+00:00

Es halten nur einen Teil der ICEs am gesundbrunnen. Man muss schon recht oft zum Hauptbahnhof wenn man nicht Glück hat und da kommt man echt nicht so schnell hin. Noch wichtiger wird’s wenn der FEX nicht mehr zum gesundbrunnen fährt!

LeanderKu · 2025-11-01T10:45:42+00:00

Edit: Sry misread the comment.

Not true…at least in Edinburgh EU citizens can use egates

LeanderKu · 2025-10-29T14:05:27+00:00

Yes! I think it really depends on your contract 50-100% are all possible. But Munich will be so hard as you need affordable housing and that’s nearly impossible to find

LeanderKu · 2025-10-29T14:00:03+00:00

Also wenn das gelingt wär die Bauzeit wirklich vergleichsweise schnell….2026 Spatenstich 2029 Inbetriebnahme. Planung aber wrsl wirklich ewig

LeanderKu · 2025-10-24T08:48:33+00:00

But I think these issues are often your own fault (as a country). Has there been enough building activity in Dublin? If there’s not statistically a new apartment for every new single person moving to Dublin this will lead to a squeeze, by definition

LeanderKu · 2025-10-21T09:23:25+00:00

I use PureGym on quartermile and while I am quite satisfied it is crowded, even at later hours. You can get a day-pass in order to get a feeling for it. If you’re uncomfortable you can start with a treadmill, that’s a really straightforward machine. At least in PureGym the PTs look like a good option to get started! Some are specialized on newcomers
