Agree on these 4 elements - but in reality it’s not always as clear. 1- just pretend to like him and be nice 2- be a good colleague, don’t put others down in public. They don’t need to be your friends. 3- this one is harder. Here its about

Its neither new nor unexpected. Our office (non tech) is mostly empty and I expect as well some floor to soon be consolidated. Yesterday (ok near Christmas) I was alone on a floor with about 180desks &screens ready to be used. In the ca

How do you move your pizza from the shovel to the stone/oven? Its so sticky.. I keep failing at this resulting in dirty oven or calzones… to the point that I am back at using backing paper and giving up in the stone.

I did this when I was in IT with a kids on its way - just because I was desperate. It was 2.5h one way and I did it 4x a week. In retrospect I should not have accepted to be treated like that. In short: I stayed 6months and applied every da

Just to add how difficult these off-label uses are beeing managed. Every content we provide (be it in a discussion, or a comment in one if our forums or as part of a symposia) needs to be checked for offlabel use. This is a nightmare and ev

How were you able to office an office and bought a house (close by?)? I am assuming your office is in a big city or near an airport and not directly where you live?

Just watched the documentary on netflix. It’s sad to me that it is very one-sided especially on the chemicals/pesticides. Farmers don’t use pesticides just for fun - it’s more of economic security to reduce risk - sometimes you are mo

Same here. I even have the chance to live about 10min from the grandparents of my kids and the rest of the family is reachable within an hour. I started enjoying small bike tours, hikes but also disconnecting from work while travelling with

Thanks for the hint. I was just about to buy an old compact camera for my daughter as she sees me taking pictures with my sony a7. Maybe you are right compact cameras are awful usability. What software did you use to lock it down? I have so

I agree on all points with my sony a7. Especially the Bluetooth connectivity was a great start but no updates and constantly dropping connections make it look laughable in 2022. I guess there is a perception that it is like hardware « once

Wow, great post. @OP I have the same fears and just survived layoffs but not years of money on the side. But I live in central europe with a more stable safety net. I do the exact same think as mentioned here, but on top of that I even go

I would love to do the same but just with my home-assistant page. So basically showing power consumption, temperature readouts etc. Should be doable I guess?

I would add to your list of problems: Decades of easy-money milk-the-cow style companies (Often CROs) with very outdated systems with folks sittings in cheap countries to do some data change requests and manual tests. Truely horrible and ou

I don’t like the try-and-hire approach, we have trial periods in europe for this. And even these don’t really give you as employee the free choice as finding a job takes time. If I commit to a job then I expect them employer to his part: Pe
