Absolutely agree! Also in that world, all engineers would be smart, given all the necessary information, all equipped with all expensive measurement tools, and be given enough time to do good work (and motivated to do that). After coming ba

Thanks a lot for your answer! I wonder whether you may be too hard on yourself, how much of this should be written off on the today's objective conditions, and not on subjective aging. I am over 50 and am genuinely interested in the di

And of course, a full source code and the cross-compiler. On a CD-ROM.

Well, one objective part I can see in these complaints, is that it seems to be hard to assemble a sufficiently big team of sufficiently qualified C++ developers, for what the project requires. C++ skills are scarce and expensive. This seem

I travel a fair bit and stay at the hotels here and there. I keep wondering, how long before hotels start sampling your personal belongings (toothbrush, comb etc) for gen data. Maybe that already happening? From there, how long before full

Not sure which type of "server" you meant when you said that, is that in the narrow sense of database server? Behaviors similar to the above are not that infrequent, are expected from many other servers-in-wide-sense: media decode

I don't think my definition above is all that flaved (I have several, all more or less imperfect). By that definition, any reason making people be engaged, is good for employer, good as cost cuts with no downsides can be. Note that thi

by minipci1321 8y ago
LOL. People engage for all sorts of reasons, aren't they? Some could be very lucid but have no choice. Is exploiting those better then exploiting gullible people?

by minipci1321 8y ago
Another definition of mine: employee engagement is the proportion of the total employee cost that can be cut before the productivity starts decreasing, over the total of these expenses. Ranges between 0% and 100%. "100% engaged" =

by minipci1321 8y ago
LOL. My take: proportion of the empoloyee's result that comes from their own initiative -- against that of their manager. Varies between 0 and 1. Blessed are the companies where the middle management has no initiatives for their teams.

One thing people don't usually mention alongside high cost of nursing homes, is that it seems to be pretty well bounded in time: see for example, https://www.geripal.org/2010/08/length-of-stay-in-nursing-ho...
