FWIW, my direct manager was indeed "transparent", as in, he wasn't managing us textbook-properly, but he definitely shielded us from upper management BS, while helping us out to achieve our goals and enable our engineering wo

This is one of the most amazing things I've read lately (apart from mRNA based vaccination itself). Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the elaborate answer. > If you're focusing on work, or just sitting around do you even register the things going on outside? I actually do, and took me a while to realize that not everyone experiences surroundings as I do

Which raises another question: - How bad can it be, if it stays undiagnosed?

Living in Europe, my perception (AKA: anecdotal / unscientific / non-measured) is that most of the ADHD-diagnosed people I know live in the US, while I only know one European person in my network who received similar diagnosis fro

Indeed takes up much less space. I see why it "stands" but it feels like even the smallest push from the back would tip it over?

The accusative case in guteN indeed comes from wishing it for the other (English is grammatically not expressive enough here). This is the same BTW in Hungarian. Even better, in HU we still have the form of "I wish (you) a good{Acc} mo

As a young Hungarian, I used to confuse the hell out of my American colleagues when I went to a "lengthy" (more than 10sec) explanation answering to "how are you?"s. It took my a while to realize why that was. Now it jus

Although I ~never used Apple products, a good ten-fifteen years ago I ran through a quite expensive "Apple Human Interface Design"[1] book. After that, whenever another "book" / blog series / etc came out about

In the ancient times (12y ago) I managed to build a reasonably complicated 10+ GUI view / 1k+ user WebApp using Java only. I used GWT[1] and Sencha's Ext-GWT, now called GXT[2] Depending on your needs, in 2021 I don't recomme

Neat. The main page advertises kapp with three features: "Lightweight", "Explicit", "Dependency-aware". I read quickly what these mean in kapp's context, and I realized it's more or less the same thre

FWIW this was part of my life pre-pandemic; remote work from Italy is amazing, especially if you willing to try mingling in the evenings on the piazzas, or even enjoy a short shot-like coffee after your mid-day siesta. But I mostly visited

I'd highlight another aspect of these lists. Although I don't find them too much useful either, it's good that there is _something_ which is "curated", so when I point a newbie to it, they can start looking around f

I found it interesting that they compare CD burning software and a music player. In 2017 I am not sure how relevant these software were... I myself haven't used CDs for around 10 years now. And apart from my love of ncmpp, I would also

Apart from the interesting conversation here, just to make sure... You are all aware of kubectl diff[1], right? I understand that sometimes you just want to diff two k8s objects, kubectl diff is not a tool for that. [1]: https://

Oh but that's what I do on our daily in the morning. Isn't that's why it's called a "stand-up"? Speaking seriously, we have a Mo-Wed-Fri 3PM 'virtual coffee break'. The team of ~15 is invited, but it&

Oh alright, that would make a difference then! So... I am not sure it does support it, TBH. I have a Bose QuietComfort 35 (II), and on linux I definitely have the low quality HSP+ mic (other thatn the quality, works well) and for listening

by kmarc 6y ago
I understand the quality issue, of course I also notice it. But how else would my mic work? If it stays on A2DP, then there is no Mic input, so I used to have to manually switch it to HSP. With the solution I linked above, this is not manua

Hmmm, maybe I don't get it. When I am using the headphones, and IF an application requests microphone, THEN I do want this switch to happen automatically. After the Microphone is not needed anymore, I want it to switch back to the HQ

by kmarc 6y ago
What this setting does, is that when an application requests the Microphone, then it automatically switches to HSP, and once the source is destroyed, it switches back to A2DP.

This. OTOH, the monster I'm currently implementing as a set of ci.sh-like scripts is already way too big. It all started as a couple `kubectl apply`, but now I wish it was an ansible playbook. Some other people on the same project abus
