Obviously I can't speak for everyone, but the few folks I know in Copenhagen do WFH as hybrid - none of them are fully remote, coming into an easily commutable office 2-3 days a week or some variation of this.

As it's an actual requirement to publish the salary for an H1B employee as part of LCA disclosures, the data is collated every year, it's no secret what anyone on an H1B earns (if you are on an H1B you can often find your own indi

I think the biggest issue for many is using it in a car? As far as I know, the watch will not pair like a phone does for calls using the typical bluetooth standards that work just fine across all conventional cellphones. Not being able to f

The used ILC market is insanely good over the past few years, I'd strongly argue most interchangeable lens cameras passed the "good enough" point for most types of photography circa 2013. This has meant there is basically a d

I wasn't aware these existed either. I suspect the answer is incredibly boring: most CD players simply wont seek to an index, pressing skip track will just skip to the next track ignoring any indexes present.

You can sort of "heel and toe" with the space and b keys, while shifting down. Use the same finger for both keys for added realism.

Doom process managers where a thing for a while too, 20 years ago. Using the BFG on a crowded room of processes usually resulted in a system crash. Hunting down a stuck program and shooting it in E1M1 was pretty neat though. Your comment re

Generally speaking outside of constitutional questions, most legislatures cannot bind their successors. So yes, new laws can be written most of the time in most places.

I mostly agree, but even this leaves you exposed to new bugs found in SSH in the future etc if on an unpatched/forgotten server. I still think its best (and really, really easy now with tools like tailscale) to simply never expose the

I've never been sure what to make of that paper. It was published by Microsoft shortly after Microsoft's big deal with OpenAI and reads a lot like a marketing piece to me. Many of the observations didn't reproduce the same wa

On most cars you simply fill till it starts leaking out of the fill hole - like changing oil, it normally doesn't require a precision fill, just close enough. 1. The drain hole is below the fill hole - open drain hole and empty using g

You should have a much harder time believing a Pi 5 draws 25w in this comparison. 6w from a small form factor N4000 Intel system is perfectly achievable.

Expandable VRAM on GPUs has been tried before - the industry just hates it. It's like Apple devices - want more internal storage? Buy a new computer so we can have the fat margins. The original REV A iMac in late 90s had slotted memory
