1) Hybrid, I design hardware so I typically have to go in to use equipment about once every week or two. A bit surprise is how little I need to be in the office. 2) I'm about a 30 minute walk/10 minute drive from the office 3) Wor

I would suspect that finding out how many employees throughout the hierarchy have been there for a long time may be a good way to find a good company. The company I work for got acquired a couple years ago by a much older and larger company

I would more picture a system where you install standardized wall panels on the load bearing structure with a DIN rail like system. You buy panels that are some standard width (say 16 inches) and come in standardized heights (e.g. 2ft, 4ft,

Linux desktop lacks UI and UX consistency. A GTK and a Qt application look and operate completely differently, and even within those there is no consistency. Windows certainly isn't perfect in this regard either, but it is much rarer t

My advice is that recipes are best used as inspiration. Rather focus on learning how to build flavour (Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat by Samin Nosrat is a good reference on this), and then have a solid reference cookbook and/or website to refer

The main problem I had with BotW is that it doesn't have proper dungeons, it just isn't a Legend of Zelda game to me if it doesn't have dungeons. The divine beasts are the closest thing to it, but having them as optional and

I clicked on the article expecting to make the joke that alt-Berlin looks a lot like Vancouver since they did a lot of the shooting here. I was out at the university when they were filming the first season and they had done the main mall up

If you take up a larger part of the sensor, then the distance between any two details must be larger so the areas that their light covers over the sensor don't overlap. If they overlap, you have no clue where the information is coming

Tiny fans aren't necessarily whiny, but the quiet fans generally don't push a ton of air. My RPi4 has a Noctua 40mm x 20mm fan that is inaudible from more than a couple feet away. Sure, it would be fairly easy to design a die cast

I mean, if the company is copying your product already, why would they go to the effort of coming up with new marketing? Amazon has no incentive to actually go after counterfeit goods, they get paid either way, so any team that would invest

Unfortunately this is the reality of manufacturing easily copied goods. Since it is so difficult to sue a vendor to stop selling your product in China, someone will just copy your design and start selling it for less than you can. Even if y

I learned on software like PaintShop Pro and Photoshop, so I find GIMP to be incredibly frustrating software. I use it at work for editing and cropping photos since I don't have access to Adobe's suite and I'm fairly quick at

For the most part people talk about calc in the following way: Calc 1 is differential calculus (and maybe basic integrals), Calc 2 is integral calculus, and Calc 3 is multivariate calculus (plus potentially vector calc). Differential equati

Ugh, Gmail is actually terrible for corporate emails due to the long threads and numerous attachments I end up with. I'm so happy that I can use GSSMO to use Outlook for my email because despite all of Outlook's flaws, it is at le

I use an iPad for taking video calls at work. Since they made the change a few weeks ago, it takes me 5 seconds every time I go to open Google Calendar for my meetings to find the icon on my dock. Half the time I end up clicking on the icon

Nope, because in the corporate world you need to collaborate or allow others who likely don't know LaTeX to work with the documents you write.

Personally, I always found that LyX kinda defeated the purpose of writing documents in LaTeX. The focus is supposed to be on the content rather than how it looks. This does sort of require that you have a good handle on all the commands you

The only way $1M makes sense is if you are describing the entire project cost for a fairly basic electronics product including tooling, salaries, marketing, compliance, manufacturing fixturing, etc. What I would consider "firing up a m

There are a surprising number of people out there that still save their office documents in the old formats for whatever reason they have convinced themselves of. Just a couple weeks ago I had a coworker that sent me a manual for a piece of

I'm in full agreement with you. However, it is hard for management to change how the company operates in such a massive way when the shareholders have been nothing but happy with the company's performance. Google have to have left

I use Tomato because it seems to have the best support for the Netgear routers I've owned. Not much has changed in the way that I use it, other than the GUI has been updated. Fresh Tomato is the only fork that gets updated anymore, and

How handy, that should be plenty of logins to install Fresh Tomato on the router.

Consider that SolidWorks is software used to design products where your tooling for a project can easily top $100k. Spending a small fraction of that on the software that actually allows you to design the product makes it seem relatively ch

I like your description of the 3 things you want to evaluate. It is pretty similar to what I try to evaluate. The first two are part of a quiz we give candidates, it has a couple basic questions on it that simply require them to logically t

This is the big thing for me. I already pay more than is reasonable for a 550 sq.ft. apartment which obviously doesn't have a separate office. To get a 2 bedroom place I would have to double my rent to get a place that is even close to

The thing that gets me is that a university is a place for learning and exploration of the world. If everyone at a university is afraid of getting reprimanded for what at most was a misunderstanding, then where exactly can we expect to tack

I wouldn't say never. But it really comes down to how a business views their product. If they view it as a hardware product that is supported by some software, then it will be shit. If they view it as a whole end-to-end solution where
