@… Comments should describe intent or purpose. If a specific algorithm is used, it doesn't hurt if you name it or refer to it.
If code is meticulously crafted with a specific goal, such as performance, it might also be useful to mention. But good naming is definitively the most important part of good code.

In the weeks since ransomware hackers attacked Jaguar Land Rover in the UK, local businesses where the car maker's plants are have lost between 15% to 50% of their business.

Alex Tora knew his fish and chips shop in Solihull, England needed a boost after the pandemic, so he began offering a discount to workers from the Jaguar Land Rover factory down the road. It was a business masterstroke. Many of his customers now come from the company’s ranks, grabbing a quick lunch or picking up a “fish supper” on their way home.

Quantifying the Value of Seismic Structural Health Monitoring for post-earthquake recovery of electric power system in terms of resilience enhancement
Post-earthquake recovery of electric power networks (EPNs) is critical to community resilience. Traditional recovery processes often rely on prolonged and imprecise manual inspections for damage diagnosis, leading to suboptimal repair prioritization and extended service disruptions. Seismic Structural Health Monitoring (SSHM) offers the potential to expedite recovery by enabling more accurate and timely damage assessment. However, SSHM deployment incurs costs, and its system-level resilience be…

SPEC brings together repair volunteers and community members at Repair Cafés in Metro Vancouver to fix household items and divert waste.

Current Situation:
The Gifford Fire moderated today
but continues to burn in the rugged Garcia Wilderness,
advancing toward the Huasna Valley and the community of Pozo.
This steep, inaccessible terrain has no recorded fire history,

These efforts will continue tonight.

Principles for Environmental Justice in Technology: Toward a Regenerative Future
This paper introduces the Environmental Justice in Technology (EJIT) Principles, a framework to help reorient technological development toward social and ecological justice and collective flourishing. In response to prevailing models of technological innovation that prioritize speed, scale, and profit while neglecting systemic injustice, the EJIT principles offer an alternative: a set of guiding values that foreground interdependence, repair, and community self-determination. Drawing inspiratio…
