But do you want to work on projects that you already expect to fail? Money isn't everything, seeing your work in action and how it improved the organization or the life of others is much more rewarding imo.

Number 1 annoyed me most when I was in consulting and was one of the main reasons I quit. You can always give recommendations but have no leverage whatsoever if all advise is ignored and the work you did for months just lands in some archiv

For me, socks did the trick. I never had cold feet but always felt colder than colleagues in the office. An additional layer of socks made me feel warm enough to agree with the others on a thermostat setting. Still amazes me how much of an

My neighbour has a air heat pump for a ~200m2 house with good insulation, but not a passive house. It's at the edge of his property so I regularly pass it. I'd say you need to be less than a meter away to hear it at all, and even

If you ventilate purely via windows, you'll need to always pay attention to avoid any mould. With a ventilation system hooked up to a heat exchanger, there's basically zero chance you'll ever experience mold.

I doubt the maintenance part. I lived in one and experienced more maintenance. You have the heat exchanger as an additional moving part which needs cleaning, new filters, etc. Also, you need a perfect seal between inside and outside. So any

Much higher than 90%. The one I had in the passive house I lived in was specified to 98% at most temperature ranges. I guess most of the time the temperature difference isn't that large anyway (<20C) so they will lose next to no hea

I lived in a PassivHouse in Germany. Didn't need to heat if it was more than 4C outside (less if more people were at home). I never experienced -40C, but at -20C it worked fine. Probably the only time all heating had to run to some deg

From experience I can say that it works. Simply by using different clothes (as you described, t-shirt vs multiple layers). The only people who really struggle with no heating homes are those who need colder temperatures to sleep. I had seve

But even a 20GB file? Streams are much more compressed, but I found files >20GB or so to be pretty much the same quality. Which doesn't really matter though, you can also find 40GB files of most movies, they should (if encoded well)

It's definitely weird not to see Amazon there. Facebook is much higher than I would've expected though. But it's also just a snapshot, maybe the longer-term average is very different from that.

In none of the companies I've worked, not completing any tasks would've worked. However, it does work to not do anything for three days and finish it all on the fourth. You can always say you got stuck on one problem while you wer

But you mean people who don't work and you see it in their output. What if someone works 5 hours per day but produces as much output as other team members? I understood that this is more OP's case.

Are you sure you notice? I don't think there's any way to tell how long a coding problem really took to solve, unless you're literally standing behind them the whole time. The same bug can sometimes be super fast to fix, some

First of all, I hope you'll be alright and end up with a job you like. But I think it's important to distinguish between cases where people hardly work but get praised for their output, and cases where the employer notices and tri

I like that point about mental health. Side projects can be great, speaking from experience. It's just a legal question, although in many countries (I can only speak for Europe), you won't get into much trouble if you stay out of

Not sure about the arguments regarding ethics. When I'm an employee, my contract is with the employer. They pay me, they evaluate me and their success is what determines my progress (in a good company). Sure, coworkers can suffer if I

Not saying that this is wrong, but he also had some dangerous theories on how to treat cancer. Just because he was good at many things doesn't mean we should see him as an expert in medicine or biology.

That's why I like going for a run or cycling at lunch time. It always helps me to process ideas. And doing it after work means I'll get that great idea in the evening when I don't want to work for the company anymore. I belie

by dx034 5y ago
I think passive processing is one, intuition is the other. You can solve a problem by thinking about it for hours or by once looking at it and immediately knowing a good solution. It's about experience, intelligence and probably many o

I've had the same experience. Not as extreme as you. The problem is, if your manager praises you for the output you generate with 1 hour of work daily, why invest more? It's not like they'd give you a bigger raise. Why not do

The awkward thing can be that you don't know if they're lazy or not competent. I've had coworkers that took days to accomplish what I was able to do in less than an hour. I always thought they were lazy (like me), but it turn

If you're a sysadmin for a large company or if you're a public person then I'd agree, but I believe for 99% of us, no one would spend the time to perform these attacks on stolen hardware. And even for large companies, they&#x

I live in a rather modern European apartment/condo and I don't think this would be true for my home at all. Sure, with the right tools you can get windows or doors open, but it will be very loud and not that easy. Windows are trip

From my experience (Europe), not that many users actually left it. Sure, many people constantly complain about privacy issues but only a few very tech-savy left for Signal. And even they cannot leave Whatsapp as it's the de-facto stand

Where's the advantage of instagram, whatsapp and Facebook belonging to one company? The only advantage on any side I can see is combining user data and behavior data to improve ad revenue. You could argue that features can make it easi

Often these decisions are much less evil. Some update in the future is likely to require work on the SSH functionality to keep it working and if not enough people use it, they might decide to kill that feature. Happened often enough that a

Maybe they only shipped some components they don't want to have assembled there or that are more expensive in the US. So theoretically they could've just shipped network equipment or storage servers (for block volumes) while other

It is, but these components also probably cost upwards of a million dollars and are very fragile. Esp with current shipping delays (not sure how the situation is on the route EU-US), I'm surprised they waited the extra few weeks to sav
