Ha. I typically stash and checkout the other branch or commit a wip that I’ll undo when I’m back and checkout the other branch.

I boarded an ÖBB train with a ticket sold to me by ÖBB and a partial refund for the delay from ÖBB.

I avoid the EC trains here in Switzerland that are coming from Germany exactly for that reason: late, crowded, broken. They just suck. The return trip when leaving from CH going to DE is usually ok (at least for the commuter part that I nee

ÖBB night trains vary greatly in quality. I had the displeasure of taking the Zürich Budapest night train and back. It was absolutely terrible. Broken cars from the 90s, beds so short you can’t fully lie in them, defective toilets, blinds t

> Won't this just apply to any career? To some extent, yes. I think SE is a little special in the sense that our job is very taxing mentally but we get very little respect for it. We are considered and managed like assembly line wor

I feel the same way, been in that occupation for over a decade now, have worked with over a dozen companies in that timeframe (consulting or full time)… I have never experienced a sane environment where a psychopath isn’t in charge. I sin

You can buy a UV pen and draw patterns on the windows. You won’t see them but birds will.

My partner has a very white bicycle helmet and bugs are often flying into it for the same reason I think. Mines darker and it almost never happens other than the occasional and expected collision.

A phone won’t match of course but it comes surprisingly close for “scanning” documents and sending them to your insurer or whoever wants them. It’s able to remove noise, crop to the page edges, and deskew the whole image.

I live in a very HCOL country, companies abroad can’t match local market pay.

100%. I have a 5–10 years old business HP laserjet and it just works. It’ll happily take third party consumables that cost around 25$ for 5k pages. It’s firewalled off the internet just in case. I paid 30$ for it on the classifieds. HP’s co

I love rails. Hardly anyone is using it in my country, and the companies that do are looking for absolute wizards. Because I can’t find jobs using it, I do t get enough experience and lose out to said wizards (after the jobs stay open for

I worked at a large-ish company like that recently, that is stuck in the past. On the surface, they’re “Agile(tm)” because they have sprints and retros. But at the level above middle managers, it’s all huge word documents, Gantt charts, for

I see the pragmatism of this, but can’t reconcile the cognitive dissonance. I personally hate when quality is a nice to have rather than a first class citizen because it results in so much more misery, stress, burnout, micromanagement that

Obviously some professions like teaching, medicine, and a few others are different because they actually benefit society. As opposed to middle managers in a megacorp only working hard to make anonymous shareholders richer. When that guy is

300k is a lot to be fair. And if that’s not enough it’s something like 20$ a year. It’s the only way I found to block ads (except in YouTube) on the iPhone.

You don’t have to login either iirc. If you don’t want to use old Reddit, there is an option to open in the browser anyway. At least for me on iOS + Firefox.

Lucky you. I know companies and universities trash a lot of repairable or even perfectly good gear, but mere mortals can’t ever access it and so it’s “recycled” (whatever that means in practice) Would love a connection if you or anyone el

Would love to do that too, Swiss companies and universities are so wasteful it’s incredible what goes in the dumpster. It doesn’t even seem like universities try to sell their discarded equipment, they just dump it out of access to the publ

If anything, bicycles are very rarely (in some places, never) favoured over cars in urban planning/design.

Was looking into this a few motnsh ago, but a conversion kit for an ICE car was around 10–20k + labor (or tools if you’re DIYing it)… that’s pretty steep.

I thought most of what’s for sale in a typical supermarket now in Europe or America is more or less on consignment anyway, and manufacturers sign complex agreements with store brands regarding shelf placement, height, length, and price. How

I’ve never had any issues with jellyfin. Maybe your use case is outside of what it’s for, but for watching series and movies it worked with everything I could throw at it for me.
