I’m intrigued. I think I understand what you’re saying but I’ve never seen it framed like this.

Is there somewhere I can read more about this?

Solved problem? We've hardly even identified the actual problem.
As it it stands now farming is an open loop system and input supplies are becoming constrained and expensive. We have killed our soils and the dirt that is left behind requires external inputs to produce current crop numbers.
In addition to this, we grow a large portion of our food in the United States in areas with active droughts and impending water shortages.
Fortunately there are better ways to do things, I just don't know that we can change fast enough.
To address the greater point of your comment though, I agree.

This looks specifically for the [markdown link syntax](https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/#links). Lastly, it does require ripgrep and fzf to be installed.
This is the most relevant quote I could find on his website. I can guess that some may quibble over the "chemical" modifier in front of fertilizer, but I remember his book going more into discussing the reduction in fertilizer use, so I'd start there if you are curious.
> The misuse of chemical inputs (pesticides, chemical fertilizer and herbicides) is also detrimental to soil life. For this reason we do not use synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides, GMOs, and glyphosate. We are working hard to eliminate the use of herbicide. http://brownsranch.us/soil-health/
I'd love to see a paid email service from a company with an open source ethos.
On the bright side, Bloomington has other hidden gems (for now) that elicited similar feelings.

My math came out similarly to yours but I don’t think it’s unreasonable for there to be 150lbs of waste high cover crop biomass in a 6 square meter area.
Again he is rotating these cattle daily and never depleting the crops of any one area, giving them a chance to grow back by the time the cattle are rotated back through.
Another term you can search for to find visuals of what this sort of density looks like is mobgrazing.
How do you figure? Regenerative ag is still relatively new, and it’s practices are being honed. Idk what you define as rich but I’d venture to guess that Joel Salatin and Gabe Brown are extremely wealthy.

At least one practitioner of regenerative agriculture, Gabe Brown, uses super dense grazing and frequent movement of the cattle to actually restore his soil health.

If this sort of stuff interest you, I highly suggest his book, Dirt To Soil. It’s a light read with a lot of great information on regen ag.
I used to think similarly, but now I’m not so sure. Gabe Brown, the author of Dirt to Soil, changed my outlook on animals place in a healthy ecosystem.
On his farmland he puts about 700k lbs of cattle on 1acre of land at a time, rotating those cattle frequently across 40 acres. He claims this practice has been an integral part of his regenerative ag method.
I don’t know that this is the case, but I’d be surprised if this project didn’t have student involvement (aka cheap labor) that helped justify rolling their own.
I hadn’t heard of any New York buildings collapsing so I googled and found one building under construction that collapsed. There was at least one causality, but a much less compelling story overall.
I don’t find myself agreeing with your take that this is partisan media at play. This will likely turn out to be deadliest building collapse America has seen.
To expand on this further, there is active research and practices into sustainable farming practices that show diverse crop rotations along dense but short grazing across the land has the ability to rebuild top soil 10x than previously thought. Most importantly this top soil serves as a MASSIVE CARBON SINK.
Using this proven methods, we can leverage the world's farmland to sequester carbon while improving the health of our soil and the nurtition density of our food.
The catch is that we need the animals to restore soil health and presumably we need the business model of selling the meat to make this practice sustainable.

A month or so ago I wanted to brush up on golang and decided to solve this same problem for myself. This lead to the creation of ancli, a CLI program that scrapes a notes directory and turns tagged notes into cards, using some of the same markdown syntax flash code uses.
My goal with this project is to support spaced repetition, but I got side tracked and the SM2 algo still needs some work.
Both ancli and flashcode seem to be solving the same problem in slightly different ways, so I wanted to share.

Unfortunately the community definitely seems more geared towards fusion360. My gut reaction is that in general they don't value the open source aspect of freecad, but maybe it is just subpar for now.
Did you buy a 3d printer for this project? Don't have any source code available?
As for why work life balance is seen as something to be strived for, there might be several reasons.
Most workers here are thought workers, which means productivity is incredibly hard to measure. Along with this, the general consensus seems to be that we have limited number of hours of true productivity per day with this sort of work. (Idk if the science is there to back it up, but it is the consensus). So by this logic working 70 hour weeks has a cost.
Another reason is that an hour at work takes an hour from society as a whole. Another hour at work is an hour not being a husband, not raising kids, not spending money at bars with friends, not shopping (to the benfit of the economy) not cooking or other hobbies which develop well rounded citizens.
Also maybe to the larger point, why? Why give your life (50hpw+ consistently) to an employer if it's not needed and you don't love it? There is a whole world out there and you already give an majority size chunk of you life to work and sleep, what are you going to do with the rest?
It's not the perfect tool, but we are striving to make it better.
I am an Engineer over at Astronomer.io and we are working on making Airflow the best piece of software it can be. We offer both Enterprise and Cloud editions. We are solving exactly the problems you describe above.

In regards to the idempotency of workflows, so much of that comes down to how you develop your DAG files. Having read through both sets of the docs, they both pay lip service to idempotent workflows, but doing the heavy lifting of making your workflows idempotent is up to you.
