I switched almost completely to non- and low-alcohol beers. These days there's so much good stuff to choose from. For example, Mikkeller brews some fantastic beers in the 0.2-0.3% range (Henry and His Science is my current firm favou

Perhaps composing the BEST response isn't the right tradeoff vs being available for your friends and not leaving them hanging? A person I'm close to does this (takes days/weeks to respond to anything). Important as they are

I think this mixes up two things: (1) segmentor-integrator dichotomy and (2) flexible working patterns. For example, I am an extreme segmentor (two laptops and two phones, both of which are either off or put away in silent mode when I'

I saw something similar in Tokyo. It was at a telco office. A bell would ring (at 1pm IIRC) and an entire skyscraper's worth of office workers would get up and try to get to street level. Every day. I was visiting a Western company

I can't speak for other developed countries but here in the UK it is very much company- and industry-dependent. At my first 4-5 jobs (mostly in the finance sector), everyone ate at their desks. At my current employer (FAANG), no one

35h workweek is absolutely great, but I personally wouldn't fancy a two-hour lunch break. Would _much_ rather take a shorter lunch and get out of the office earlier. (Just highlighting that different people have different preferences.

I could be wrong, but it seems that there's no great shortage of companies offering 4+ weeks of PTO per year in the US. Or are you expecting more vacation than that? (Or are perhaps otherwise constrained as to the choice of employers

Sorry to hear that you were affected by the fork defect. I hope there were no lasting effects from the injuries. I got Cannondale's recall email as I was flying to Kenya, with my CAADX, for a cycling trip. Was a bit nervous riding th

I think that quality issues are part software and part internet connectivity. We use an internal version of Google Meet and it works fantastically well (and during the pandemic has acquired a ton of useful new features). Internet quality a

I think there's considerable overlap between classes of bugs that could be caught by static type checking and those that could be caught by unit tests. That said, I view the two as complementary and use both extensively. One particula
