Might want to give The Fountain a go then, sounds interesting. To me the movie Memento is special, both the plot itself but also the question, what if it happened to me.

Exactly, and the harder the problem, the greater the reward when it's finally solved. The problem solving process never ceases to amaze me, how a problem can go unsolved for months on end, and then suddenly all the dots can be connecte

That is a very generous interpretation of the EUs action in this matter. If the proposal regarding "pleasure" flights stands, then the EU is no better than UEFA or IOC. Is that really the message that the EU wants to send i wonder

A set of basic Git commands for everyday use is a good starting point and of course knowing a bit about the staging area and remote/upstream sources as well. But if you move into the enterprise with multiple releases in active developm

As someone about to move from Mercurial to Git i absolutely agree, even though Git has its quirks, you can always find some help for a specific problem. Refactoring was mentioned and i think a good Git branching strategy is vital in that re

It's a much better strategy for sure, as for AMD it seems that hard times are ahead if they can not move to 3nm after 5nm. It seems very likely that AMD has no other option than moving most of their products to Samsung 3nm. I hope that

Tesla has still not opened up their Supercharger network, they are the last major provider who has not done this. Apparently the terms offered by Tesla is unacceptable, it is hard to see the EU keep on accepting this state of affairs. It do

It's a mystery to me too. Texas actually seems to have the most reasonable handling of Covid this year, where you open up earlier rather than later. It would be fitting for Biden to admit this statement back in March was plain wrong, m

As in reality sets in and whatever policy there may be for Covid will have to go and restrictions removed. It's quite a novel idea to link vaccination percentage with reopening, I'm quite glad that a similar plan is not used where

I can see where your war analogy is going, but somehow it doesn't work that well. Where is the metaphor for the vaccine, which actually protects you from getting seriously I'll. And it's always an option to wear masks if you

At some point we have to accept that Corona doesn't go away and stop restricting people. The next mutation is always around the corner and arbitrarily restricting people's freedom like this is not helping. I hope politicians aroun

Absolutely, and here the reward for legalizing some drugs seems greater than the risk. I suppose Meth and Crack are not on the list of legalized drugs, which means that half of all drug offenses will not be affected. Still, halving drug off

Actually not that crazy an idea and the aspect that decriminalization makes interaction with criminals necessary, should be enough to skip this idea. So legalization seems to be the way forward, i do wonder what organized crime will do in r

The same problems exist when you merge between multiple release branches, there is an inherent resistance to refactoring as it interferes with merges. To me the solution is to migrate to trunk based development and hide new features behind

The slow, dragged out removal of ALL restrictions continue. With 72% having received the first dose of the vaccine, it would have been nice to see a complete removal of all restrictions. It would be interesting to see the thoughts behind th

I'd also like to see more info on this, Teams will consistently bring a quite powerful laptop to it's knees. Posting something to chat while in a meeting will take 5-10 seconds, i have never seen it work instantaneously.

That seems like a fair mix of workplace and personal stuff. As for a RSA token key fob or phone text for 2FA, i prefer the phone as it can also show upcoming meetings and mails. Though it's easier to forget the phone than your keys i&#

Very much agree, a phone should either be for personal use or work. With 2FA being more common in the workplace it just makes sense to have that on the work phone.

Perhaps it is, but keep in mind that the official count of infected is around 300.000, so 25% of that was detected by the app. If the number of infections that were not detected are double the 300.000, then we are fast approaching 10% of al

The danish version is called "Smittestop", which roughly translates to "Stop the infection". It has cost 4.3M euros and have detected 76.115 people, which amounts to 420 DKK or 56 euros per person. To me that sounds quit

On the topic of making good people want to stay around, i would add that having smarter people than myself in the team is a huge factor. I'm still not sure that achieving this by hiring consultants is a good idea, but it is better than

Not a fan, was expecting at least some coherent text about Engineering Managers, but instead get a long list of links, not much better than what I can find myself. At least the comments in this thread are useful and interesting.
