I'm somewhat surprised by this. I'm currently working out of a WeWork and not only was it hard to get an office there, but they are constantly expanding the location I'm in and just opened the fourth location in a 1.5km radius. Cost is also rather high for a very small office (supposed to be for 4 persons, but if with 3 people it feels very crowded). The business of renting office space en masse and renting it out in smaller, much more expensive parts seems rather lucrative to me.

I'm in Hamburg, Germany for reference.

Ideally, estimate the business values in local currency (and be able to defend those estimates).

> No, the main difference is in the quality of plugins, not in how many there are.

I don't think that is true. If you browse the vscode marketplace and search e.g. for python [1] you literally get hundreds of plugins. If you scroll down only a bit, you quickly end up at plugins that only have a few hundred to a few ten downloads. I highly doubt that the quality of those plugins is better than the plugins for (neo)vim.

For your Rust-Analyzer Plugin example: I can install Rust-Analyzer with Mason in a few seconds as well and then (if you have lsp-zero [3] installed) it also just works™.

But I agree, keeping a vim configuration up to date is akin to a hobby (which I by the way enjoy quite bit).

Question for the space nerds: how impressive is this?

Being Christian probably neither means that your favorite book is the bible nor that you would rather vote for somebody whose favorite book is the bible.

I looked for the best book on ants, but was disappointed it didn't offer anything.

I recently listened to the Acquired episode (a podcast) on LVMH [1] and would recommend it to anybody who knows hardly anything about LVMH (as I did before).

Military training regimes aren't made to get the most out of every individual, but to get everyone to an acceptable level.

Agreed. And with less drama this time around.

It wasn't, it was spun out before Enron.

EY also has a management consulting arm, not sure how successful they are though.

I agree with where you end up ("Now try buying a house with that average job. You can't, not even with years of work.") but I can't follow the complete reasoning?

Why would getting tenure be harder nowadays? If it really is, probably because there are more people getting a PhD in the first place (because more people are going to university in the first place).

But perhaps this is also somewhat of a tangent to your main point.

Can't confirm that, at least not in general. Worked along some accenture people for some time and most were a) very happy at their job b) more competent than the average tech worker.

I would suggest to look at something like Argo CD, Flux or Gitlab CI/CD's Kubernetes support instead.

You need to actively install software to report statistics on macports. See further down the linked FAQ.

Sorry, but I'm not willing to discuss if "the last 100 years were the norm" for climate-wise.

Have a look at this for some first ideas: https://www.noaa.gov/education/resource-collections/climate/...

(think more draughts, much more intense wildfire seasons, intense rain events, nature's rhythm which is depending on temperature being disturbed).

And I don't know if the "cure" will be worse, that's why for now, I'm only advocating for research into solar geoengineering. (But as the stratospheric release of sulphuric aerosols is also a natural occurring phenomena -- think volcanoes -- it is not something completely new we would be doing here.)

I believe (at least) research in solar geoengineering is urgently needed.

No, this is not a long-term replacement for bringing down carbon emissions (not least, because carbon also acidifies our oceans), but if you look at the horrible effects climate change is already causing now, imagine how a world will with average temperature raised by 1.5° or 2.0° Celsius.

True. Also sounds uncompetitive to me.

From the article:

"The regulator is investigating in particular rules that say merchants may not offer their goods and services at a lower price to customers who choose a cheaper payment method than PayPal."

That does sound rather uncompetitive.

At least for the German version, they notify the driver with 10s before they need to take over.

No, the previous leadership of Iran (the Shah) was installed by the US, which was then removed in the 1979 islamic revolution.

For speakers of languages that cannot be written in ASCII-only, the importance of the improved unicode handling really cannot be overstated, especially for people new to programming.

From the article:

> The Swedish Saab Gripen C/D [...] was designed from the outset for ease of maintenance, and can be refuelled, re-armed and given basic maintenance by teams of just six ground crew using two vehicles on small airbases or highways, even in the harsh conditions of the northern winter. Moreover, only one of each crew needs to be a highly trained maintainer; the rest can be conscripts or even troops.

If this is true and the Gripen can achieve performances similar to other western fighter jets, I'm really wondering why maintenance of other planes is so much more complicated and costly or why the Gripen is not selling much better than it currently is.

I was visiting a space technology fair quite recently, and I was quite surprised to see how many companies are betting on RISC-V in that space (pun intended).

On another note: does anyone have experience with a RISC-V board you can actually order right now?
