Nope, not in the shade. But the truth "on the ground" in some places is different than what they say in the prognosis, which is why I have my own temperature sensors. I cross referenced with friends from other parts of the city wh

In direct sunlight for most of the day. Yeah, I can manage, I have 3 ACs and all blindfolds pulled down. It was rather nice inside, but going outside even for 10 minutes was a dizzying experience.

Yeah, facing the sun most of the day.

If I sell you a book on how to be succesful, and am not succesful, I have to fake success to get you to buy. So maybe I'll rent a sports car, overspend on my rent, go to holidays I can't afford, etc. because enough people might be

I've registered 47 on my temp sensor two days ago. This is in Eastern Europe.

I've had an experience where the interviewer tried to stop me from doing a DFS on a graph. Then they tried to tell me that's not how DFS is done. I am a pretty chill and curious guy, so I turned this into a discussion. At the end,

I'm in my mid 30s and I don't fear them. I dislike them. I don't want to be interrupted from whatever I am doing to answer a phone call that could have been a message. I don't care about your body language or the need fo

I have a little bit of equity in the company that I work for now. It's super small and early stage, and still between me and the product decision there exists a Designer that reports to a CTO that reports to a CEO. For everything that

My friend works outside of FAANG, in Europe, and the DevOps department is super chill.

This question is strange honestly... Because I have a career in software development and I really enjoy doing it? If I wouldn't be in this situation, maybe I would consider doing the switch based on what I've seen.

I go to the National Library of my backwards little country; some 2 - 3 times per week, when I know I won't have a lot of meetings and I want to focus on work. I go there, in the silence, find a nice place to sit down, plug my laptop,

There is a distinct competitive advantage to be able to express your thoughts in writing so that it can be digested async without your intervention. Most founders, managers and of course, leaf workers, don't have this ability. We rely

It's just impossible to get my point across to some people. What happens when a company gets too big and is split by the government? Do the CEO and the shareholders go request this?

This is very true! Which is why this is a fine balancing act on Taiwan, and not the simplistic 'hurr durr US interests can't allow that'. They need to carefully weight their options, and decide what is best for their nation u

Of course they do! And it would be totally fine to make an offer. But to purchase an entire strategic sector from a country would warrant some sort of government intervention, no? TSMC getting fully bought out and moved out of Taiwan, as co

It's quite peculiar to encounter such simplistic perspectives about the Taiwan situation on this platform. Makes me doubt this platform's main ideology as a whole. As a European, I confess my understanding of the issue is quite ru

I'm not buying free market capitalism with regards to strategic resources of another country. If 'we call that capitalism' is all it took, the US wouldn't need the military it has. Again, this feels like a simplistic vie

Perhaps there's an argument to be made about U.S. hegemony when such proposals concerning the strategic assets of another country are considered. What if we Europeans devised a plan to acquire all strategic manufacturing assets from th

I guess it also depends on the person. I get off on providing customer value by addressing business needs. I scratch the other itch late at night with unspeakable horrors that never see the light of day.

There is always a balance to strike between development and delivery. When creating a system with high potential failure costs, it's important to select a technology stack that minimizes common errors for developers. For most companies
