Maybe it's getting confused by the expression "geschniegelt und gestriegelt", seeing both as geschniegelt and getting confused

However, I won't pay for the course as I'm only an IC with no realistic path to management. But maybe "transitioning from IC to management" is too small of a niche for this product: sounds like it would be good for managers that want to improve: "strategies for management from an ex-developer" or something like that
If my phone died today, I still have a company-given one that I never use. I'd just ask my org to give or sell it to me for personal use.

send_to_nsa(plain_msg)That's also why the author went on a queue: the call-center is not for the washing-machine company, it's an insurance-selling center that works with multiple companies.

Just ask them if that's actually the bottleneck and go for a walk outside, before sweating over anything else discussed in this post.
A tip for others that feel the same: if you've used Photoshop before and are used to its UI, try the free Photopea website. It's a Photoshop "clone" that works really well in web (I believe it's a solo dev doing it too). It's replaced Gimp for me lately.
Takes more time than reading the article, but the podcast has IMO a nice pace of leaving you curious and giving you info. It includes opinions from teachers, parents, etc.
"in the future, the fastest humans on the planet might be a quadrupedal runner at the 2048 Olympics, which may be achieved by shifting up to the rotary gallop and taking longer strides with wide sagittal trunk motion."
I certainly don't want to know (through disaster news) about the construction company that built the bridge I drive through everyday, not for another 15 years, not ever!
This kind of software simply should not fail, with such a massive install base on so many sensitive industries. We're better than that, the software industry is starting to mature and there are simple and widely-known procedures that could have been used to prevent it.
I have no idea how CrowdStrike stock has only dropped 10% to the values of 2 months ago. Actually, if the financial troubles you get into are only these, take back what I said, software should be failing a lot (why spend money on robustness when you don't lose money on bugs?)
Ousterhout's "A Philosophy of Software Design" goes along the same vein, not an essay but a short book.
Both of these agree on something that I really relate with: the main thing to keep in mind in a software project is complexity.
Managing complexity to reduce cognitive load on programmers is something I always have in mind, it works not only within a codebase, but also across codebases that talk to each other through APIs, and even across software teams when considering their boundaries and modes of communication.

I was expecting this would make Newman, Jerry and Kramer all neighbours of each other, but it only did it for Newman and Kramer.
I'm currently on season 3, started watching it because of Casey Muratori's (video game programmer, author of "Handmade Hero" educational streams) series of interviews with Jonas Kyratzes (video game designer, writer of "Talos Principle"), where they discuss the show: [0]
The distinguishing point about the show is that it features a coherent world, where some small detail happening in one episode can come back 6 episodes later. It's also coherent in between seasons, since it was pre-planned as a 5-season show spanning exactly 5 years on the Babylon 5 station.
Also, it features early computer animated 3D art made on Amiga computers. It hasn't aged that well but gets the job done.
Most programmers have experienced being so immersed in code that we don't notice time is passing, forgetting to eat or sleep.
It's similar with immersion in social media / food / whatever. We become lost in the activity and lose our sense of self.
I've recently heard of the concept of conscientiousness as a personality trait. People with low conscientiousness tend to procrastinate more, and it's tied to ADHD. Apparently it can be trained. I'm trying (though not really succeeding) to make pauses, take a deep breath and think about "what am I doing right now? What should I be doing instead?". Seems so basic, like I've regressed to being a child who has no self control...
They specifically say 'with Orchid, couples today have a new ability to stack the odds in their children’s favor'. But how? By sequencing DNA of prospective partners to find the perfect one?
This can create a future where people screen each other's DNA, and look for only the top-of-the-line genetic specimens. I guess it was going to happen anyway, but this scares me a lot, and at first glance I would support regulations opposing the sequencing of DNA for the purpose of improving your children.
We could be altering the natural selection process that, with its randomness and variation, led to our own evolution.
It may be thin, but it covers most people. Most crypto buyers use fiat exchanges. If those were ruled out, the monetary value of tokens would go down, and with it the mining incentives would lower. It wouldn't be the end of crypto, but it would alleviate many issues (energy, hardware shortage, etc).
PS: I don't think crypto is the only reason for GPU shortage (others being more demand from stay-at-home people, and general semiconductor shortages), but I believe it plays a part.
