I've seen it recently - a guy in extended family who is hardcore introvert to the point of being very annoying in family settings (yet leads a small team of devs) wanted a promotion and eventually got it. He got overly stressed from al

Not maybe, movies are simply shot in different ways, people expect different things. Nothing in this world is static. Now its perfectly fine to dislike 'modern' approach, but in digital era that has absolutely nothing to do with s

Most of Iran/Pakistan will become unlivable outside during summer (maybe it will shock you most most world doesn't have AC even if its 50C outside). Same could easily go for whole Sahel. We can continue around the globe and name l

In Europe, we mostly didn't have a winter this year around the Alps. It snowed 3x as much in November (and thank god for that), but has been spring temperatures (up to +10C in the mountain valleys) most of january and february and almo

Came to say exactly this... you want to get kids productive and head in good direction, so you name the tool for that as outright the worst possible thing they can eat. Because if you say 'lets do a bit of sugar now' kids will not

OpenAI at this point must be literally #1 target for every single big spying agency in whole world. As we saw previously it doesn't matter much if you are top notch ai researcher, if 1-2 millions of your potential personal wealth are i

Indeed I haven't noticed any blip in functionality, but then again I don't ever do FB (or other external service) login. Absolutely no reason to do so, long term drawbacks are too serious to be lazy about this.

That sounds lovely, us folks already in the industry for some time have then nothing to worry about. Our hard earned seniority won't be matched by this approach anytime soon, not even caught up. Not that seniority is generally much in

Even if I wouldn't be hating Musk for his position re actual freedom and his apparent respect for murderous dictators, these moves would solidly cement Tesla as a company I wouldn't buy a car from. Stupid, arrogant moves nobody as

You have no actual idea what were consequences on your self-image, only a very close person who has seen whole transition, can be critical thinker and brutally honest with you can at least potentially tell some balanced evaluation. Ie judgi

No it doesn't. Concrete floor and structural walls, rest is some form of bricks, typical European modern building (Switzerland), absolutely good enough wifi signal in all rooms, on 2 storeys, no repeater or anyhow enhancing the reach.

Man, just a polite friendly advice, whatever message you are trying to convey would be 10x more efficient if you cut word count to maybe 10%. Few want to read small novels in discussions.

No it isn't, not in any big multinationals, not unless you have some extremely specific agreement with management. More acceptable is say 7:30 - 16:30, and is still often seen as slacking by folks who stay till 6-7pm. Of course if you

Not sure where you buy from but good quality plastic windows have definitely more than 15 years durability. Ie ours are 20 and no sign of weakening isolation. We have cca proper winters (maybe not this year) and thermal+humidity sensors in

Yes, it often takes 1 'rotten apple' to drag down discussion into nasty stupid personal fights. Kudos to him in how well he manages that, not sure if he sleeps or takes actual vacations without internet.

I literally saw this at my first work 20 years ago. You generate most by script and just add those few odd public holidays manually, much easier to have a person spend 5 mins once every year rather than some smart script with 20 not-so-well
