General rule of thumb for 1080p video streaming = 8 Mbps 720p is half the size, so it should be half that rate = 4 Mbps. I have no doubt that modern image compression algorithms can bring that down a bit further without too much impact on q

In the same boat. 15 minute walk to work. I miss having coworkers around, but I also understand that their commutes are much worse in many cases. I still prefer the office, even without the coworkers, because I don't want to turn my ho

From my perspective: there are some things you fundamentally can't measure. One of the teams I manage is technical support (B2B SaaS). Support's core functionality in an organization is to prevent churn. If a customer reaches out

A co-worker who was laid off recently reached out to see if I had any room on my team. It broke my heart to say that we're not hiring for the foreseeable future either. I liked him a lot and thought he did good work, and otherwise I&#x

I'd heard of something like that at a city government level around 2009 when cash was tight. A friend of mine had a 4 day week every other week. I think they called it a mandatory furlough in that case

I've also found some relief with breathing techniques for Crohn's flare ups. Other than that, I can only take acetaminophen (which does next to nothing) and not eat for a couple days while I wait it out.

This article hits on some very good points. I'd like to add another from the perspective of the hiring manager, now that I've had a few years experience in that role. It's been my experience that people generally produce thei
