This extension will bring the total length of the 2Africa cable system to more than 45,000 kilometers, making it the longest subsea cable system ever deployed.
“Since most peering networks already maintain their PeeringDB records as a source of truth for other networks to consume, we see PeeringDB’s OAuth service as an opportunity to standardize a peering management authentication method.”
Submitit is a lightweight tool for submitting Python functions for computation within a Slurm cluster. It has simplified the task of scheduling an experiment on the cluster and collecting the results, logs, etc.
Many companies do provide a mobile, but then your choice is to carry 2 devices, or let your company control the only device you carry and use all day for personal communication. I chose the former but even that’s not ideal
I’m not sure why it took a pandemic to make this a real option for major tech companies. At my previous company, the bulk of my team was in NY and I would commute an hour plus each way to sit on endless video chats and conference calls with people in other time zones. But working from home was frowned upon...unless you were a contractor, in which case you had to work from home bc there weren’t enough desks.
There’s a distinction between learning to write well at length or often — and learning to write well enough for clear, concise communication. The former is not something everyone needs or values. The latter is one everyone should work on, especially now that we are all communicating via chat, email, comments, social posts, and other written methods. Effectively communicating your thought or opinion is a skill worth honing.
I’ve been seeing quite a lot of major conferences being cancelled and/or large companies deciding not to attend. In many cases they’ve waited as long as possible before officially cancelling to see if things improve. I would think you have the right to express your concerns and decide not to attend - if enough people do the same, the event may be postponed or cancelled.
What kid wouldn’t have killed for this? Would have saved lots of younger siblings from hours of “here, you find all the black 2x2 pieces while I build”
Some have screens at school (Chromebooks or iPads), but even then, their weekdays should largely be screen free - which means they’re getting these hours in nights and weekends.
Yep! You can’t send your kids out to play anymore because all their friends are home glued to phones or video game screens. A friend told her kids to go play outside and an hour later, found them sitting on the front step playing games on a handheld device.
I’d argue it has more to do with the fat/salt/fried factor than just the carbs.
Foods with a combo of fat, salt and certain textures make you both thirsty and more likely to crave more.
Sometimes that is the strategy: create something cool and hope to get purchased. Having worked at a company that was likely one of Slack’s “whales”, it is a bonus to have feature requests weighted more heavily, but if a tool doesn’t keep everyone else using it happy - you run the risk of some other tool becoming the shiny new thing.
Absolutely agree - these skyrocketing tuition fees should be causing a rise in trade schools and other (shorter, less expensive) paths to a career. Not everyone needs a 4-year or postgraduate degree to make a decent living.
For most publications, the newsstand sales are a minuscule amount of income - subscriptions are a bit more (and help them plan budgets), but ads is how they keep the lights on. But it’s harder and harder to do that bc no one wants to pay for quality reporting and fact checking when they can get rumors and opinions for free on any clickbait website that pays writers pennies and has fired their fact checkers and copy editors.
If you truly want quality journalism, pick the publications you don’t want to lose and subscribe - and know that the ads are what keep the cost low enough for the average person to get reliable news.
This seems like a good way to recognize the extra time put in to support OSS projects - and I like the thoughtfulness about not making it an incentive to spend even more hours working, by capping hours and keeping the bonus amount low.
In the article, the dr uploads the scan for confirmation. I agree the average person shouldn’t be trying to self diagnose from a scan, but anyone could upload a scan to a dr they couldn’t travel to.
I think the difference is in assessing a situation - is it always ok for all teens to drink? Or is it more about assessing whether to sometimes scare them a little by giving them a talking to and reminding them it’s not legal - and other times (if they endanger lives or get caught multiple times) enforcing the penalties as appropriate. Much like speeding or running a stop sign - sometime just getting pulled over is enough to remind you to slow down.
Agreed, I think in your 20s and 30s you’re generally driven to find your place in the world - career, marriage, parenting. By our 40s, most of us have found at least some of that, care less about the rest and are able to have a better perspective. Maybe not happier in the sense of elation, but more content, more aware of what you do have, and more ok with not being the superbeing you thought you needed to be to be happy.
