Caos y turnos infinitos en la lucha contra el fuego en Castilla y León: “El operativo ha colapsado y están improvisando” Bomberos y trabajadores de extinción de incendios denuncian jornadas de 15 y 16 horas sin descanso, problemas organizativos y falta de cuadrillas como consecuencia de un modelo en el que los funcionar...

Shame on you #JCYL regarding the the forest management, specially related to #wildfires. They made cuts and this is the consequence… tremendous losses, economical, natural and in people lives.

The #airquality situation is not really good either.

The current situation is even worse and we have woken up like this… my working desk full of #ashes this morning.

When we arrived on Sunday there were several wildfires declared and active in El #Bierzo and around creating several smoke columns. Sadly the situation worsened yesterday… Specially related to the #Yeres wildfire that it seems has gone over Las #Medulas already.

The wildfire situation in #spain, specially in the northwest is not really good. #wildfires #forestry #cliamatechange

Os puedo asegurar que yo no voy a ver ciertos contenidos simplemente por lo machaconamente que se nos han metido por las narices.

#rtveplay #rtve #España #tvOS #appleTV

propios. Entiendo que RTVE quiera promocionar sus propios contenidos, pero no puedo entenderlo que quiera hacerlo cada 5' minutos, especialmente entre el público infantil. El ratio puede ser hasta de 7'30" a la hora. Por no decir que muchos se repiten y repiten hasta la nausea.

Acabo de poner una queja en a @rtvecom.bsky.social en el defensor de la audiencia. Básicamente por el nivel de anuncios en la plataforma online cuando se están viendo algunos contenidos infantiles de corta duración (~5-10') en los cuales entre capitulo y capitulo se inserta anuncios sobre contenidos

There is also a lot of people that are accusing them of a #scam. I don't think they are scam or anything else. It's a legitimate project that seems that is failing. Scaling something like that is not easy and it has a high probability of failing.

They are blaming the US political climate, but it's also true that if you are not able to meet your own targets (for whatever reason) the picture doesn't look good at all.

I'm starting to hate so much the culture of "only phone" apps…. what is that? it's the culture of quick and dirty stuff. I don't like.

#Python is driving me nuts with it's inability to differentiate between:
- `NaN`
- `NA`
- `NULL`
They are quite different and for me have different uses in the data stack and even can be key in some context. It's not the same that an operation or a table have a NULL than to have a NA… #datascience

Seems that the air is unhealthy around here. #Ponferrada #Bierzo I guess the cold humid air doesn't allow the smoke of heating system to rise. Perhaps a more #sustainable heating system, #districtHeating could be put in place (40 years ago) #Spain

I'm at my mom's and my kid started to do #BreakDance with #JulioIglesias. If this is the #XmasMagic they are talking about… I don't want it.

But seriously… you should not be obsessed about work and on a day like this you should be doing something else, like having a stroll, watch a movie or have a beer with friends, and of course have lunch with family.

LinkedIn is a pro social network and you don't post there about present and your time off, in general. I enter to contact someone about the SwissAir incident since i thought it was traveling in that line and I wanted to know if he was ok.
