Even decades after reunification, the socioeconomic differences between areas that used to be East and West Germany are still very apparent.

I would agree with this. Ancedotally, at least for the first 6 months until the fall of 2020, my team and its management were completely accepting of sub-par WFH setups and attitudes. We couldn't really blame the guy whose two young

They likely do understand, but are just waiting for the extra federal unemployment benefits to end. The smart choice (from an employer's standpoint) would be to make it past September 6th without significantly increasing wages, then e

I've been in both kinds of organizations. Without fail, every place that was like "organization B" (separate development and cloud teams) had some under-the-table workaround. The worst I think I ever saw was _every single c

This has been known and grudgingly tolerated by every team I’ve been on that uses Docker. Occasionally someone will get sick of it and introduce something like docker-sync [1], essentially just to rsync a directory instead of using a volum

As a professional Elixir engineer who still hasn't embraced the whole LiveView thing, I'd emphasize that that particular aspect is entirely optional. You can write a traditional HTTP-only or templated HTML backend in Elixir with

I had no idea SQLite was so fluid with its column types - that's kind of alarming. I guess it's fine if you still have an ORM in between you and it, and this STRICT syntax is probably the most reasonable workaround, but it just s

I'm in the same situation in terms of tech debt against my personal infrastructure. I have plans to migrate my personal (currently Ubuntu) server to use Proxmox on top of selling the current machines & buying new non-Apple ones fo

I can't wait until /child-safety 404s or redirects to /safety and there's a wall of marketing blurb (possibly only in Chinese at first) that explains how 'national security' concerns are reported to the CCP. Th

I am an EMT and talk to a lot of nurses, PAs, and physicians in various circles. This wave is worse for a few reasons. - Healthcare staff have great animosity towards the unvaccinated patients. They aren't victims here, they did this

I don't know if it's necessarily the English language to blame here, but this reminds me of an experience I had while talking with one of the Chinese international students in college. He pronounced the first few syllables of the

There's a difference between "everybody jay-walks so the police always have an excuse to pick you up" and violent crimes that the community as a whole notices go unpunished by repeat offenders.

We have the same DA-refuses-to-prosecute issue here in Madison, WI - except the issue is car theft by teens. The DA is an elected position. Our chief of police resigned last year because the police would arrest them and they'd be let

The fan wouldn’t be exchanging fresh air, it would be drawing it up from the ground. Radon gas is a product of decaying uranium underground. It usually gets into homes due to the “stack effect” where heated indoor air rises (in winter) an

I like how the Wikipedia article about English Prime also _uses_ English Prime for the most part in its prose - not sure if the contributors or editors did that intentionally.

This is an interesting insight, but I don't think it's even close to telling the whole story of the pathophysiology of misophonia. The researchers seem to focus mainly on the mouth and throat sounds that bother many people. It&#x

For me, even the size of the desk is directly correlated with success. The dorms in college were frustrating because there was barely enough room on the surface to lay down a large textbook and notebook next to it. When I look at desks fo

At face value, this sounds ridiculous. When I buy any device, what I am looking for is "available over LAN" and "HTTP API documented". It's either entirely documented and lovely, like Hue and LIFX. Or difficult a

Laptop microphones are obviously problematic, but boom mics have their own issues. None of my coworkers know how to position the microphone properly, so whenever one of them talks it's riddled with plosive whooshes of air whenever the

The issue specifically with the service animal is tough. I think people who benefit from legitimate service animals are seriously harmed by the people who claim their pet is a service animal so they can bring it with them. Anyone can buy

Sure, this isn't meant to make it impossible to shoot yourself in the foot design-wise if you intermingle fonts. It's more of a layout concern. If I change the font in an app or website, it _always_ leads to tweaking all the fon

The problem seems to be that, should you want to change the font size or line height of text in a given font, it's currently difficult to get a consistent baseline and character size between different fonts. Having some default line h
