It sure makes children cry when we talk about quality. Thing is, who holds the truth with respect to quality and craftmanship? And how to identify the person which will improve quality ? Which path is best to follow ? I inherited a failed p

My scariest hike has been in Scotland. You would think that you cannot get lost on mountains without any tree, and yet I did. Thank god I was near the sea and I knew the road was in that direction. Google maps is absolutely useless once yo

I concur with this nice write up. Your job is now to get leadership's priorities done, identify what will achieve that goal and steer the team towards it. My advice would be to establish a good relationship with your stakeholders, unde

Is this really a trend ? It surely is helping a DIY enthusiast to perform a new task, but I doubt it will convert a non manual labour enclined person to do the task. Also these ready made DIY how-tos work for a certain country only and can

Translations of products are now clearly AI without proof reading. It's so bad you have to switch to english to understand what it is supposed to mean. Even big brands like Microsoft cannot translate properly. So yes, they save on tran

And you will then multiply the amount of wiring needed because everything departs from the main computer. It's much easier to run a communication wire and a 12V wire, and have a microcontroller control the sensor/motor

We make embedded devices, the higher end are running linux. But, they developped the linux devices as it was a desktop computer, the biggest latency hogs we have are multiprocess architecture over dbus, and event based UI which fetches live

Yep, it is definitely an engineer behind this, wanting to show off. My job now is to deal with the aftermath of failed design choices at my company. It only took a couple of guys to impose their deluded design, because noone stood up to cal

They are not really treating smokers heavily now, and they have a lower life expectancy. In the grand scheme of things, i bet smokers are net contributors to society as: They pay tobacco taxes their whole life and They die younger, so less

Where are they now allowed to smoke ? Outdoor was the last safe space as indoor is banned since a long time. They must quit smoking from today then? I just don't get how on one hand you can pass such brutal laws affecting so much peopl

I drove my first BYD car last week, a hybrid Seal. I was pleasantly surprised by the confort and power, it kept up with the Audis on das autobahn. Only downside was the suspension, not european enough i would say. However, software wise...

There was an article about the word enshitification, what you describe the real life example: you are paying a premium price for a product with a lowering quality every year that goes by. Fighting labelling fraud is the correct answer. If i

It's cultural, being a foreigner in Germany, you always get told to comply to rules. I couldn't care less about it and just shrug it off. Honestly, some cities are really hostile to pedestrians with barely any crossings. I don&#x2

Don't draw conclusions too fast. Airbus breakthrough was when it sold its A300 to eastern airlines. If I remember correctly it was a no strings attached deal where they could give them back.

You realize that 10 years ago, you would never write this down, and you would get downvoted by even implying that Airbus is better than Boeing. Reputation can be killed quite fast now, probably a side effect of social media
