I don’t think I’ve ever experienced this while flying in the EU, and I’ve done my fair share of it, living here and all.

It’s pining for the fjords

Because the pandas are all staring at you.

AI-generated, perhaps?

Podcasts often dynamically generate ads at the point of download, making the SponsorBlock-approach unviable: since the media is expected to be variable-length you can’t store media positions that map to advertisement segments.

Healthcare is pretty rough, I’d be willing to bet that the grass actually is greener in this case.

Jon Schlinkert, I believe. Sindre has a lot of stuff as well, but has a better reputation afaik

It’s more likely that the military is behind this call. Thailand may be a monarchy but the monarch is not strictly speaking in charge as far as I know.

Imagine intentionally not accommodating your vegan or vegetarian friends. Absolutely deranged behaviour

While the rest of the world shifted left dudes went ahead and shifted right

Go is in a good position, yeah. JavaScript has prettier, which is nice. Java has google-java-format. Python has ruff, which is quite good. Kotlin has ktfmt, which I believe made a mistake with their standards by not following the standard formatting guidelines for the language, but whatever. Uniform and deterministic for the win.

Automatically enforced deterministic formatting is the best, there’s nothing that beats it. The productivity in just being able to format on save knowing that the code will be in the ideally formatted state, along with the anti-bikeshedding properties of this strategy, makes it unbeatable.

There’s not going to be one single number for this - you’re most likely looking at views/production costs or effect on retention/production costs.

Those things sound super great… but they’re of course all meant to keep you working around the clock, meeting deadlines.

This is not going to be universally true at all big tech-companies. There are places with perfectly reasonable WLB on top of huge salaries and fantastic perks.

These places are usually big enough that you’re going to see extremes on both ends within the same company - some departments with huge deadline pressure cultures, and some with highly relaxed work settings. It can be a bit of a gamble.

It’s true that it’s possible to ride all year, even in places with harsh winters.

It’s going to be decidedly less fun, though.

This was enough to tip the balance in favour of taking transit during the months of snow and slush here in Sweden, but I’m also spoiled for choice here. Now I’ve moved and have less of a ride to work, so I think I’m probably going to shoot for biking all year now.

Assuming:

• I don’t own any fitness equipment
• I’m at the very start of my fitness journey
• I am completely untrained

I would buy:

• A yoga mat
• A good pair of shoes

For exercise I would do calisthenics and walk/hike/run.

To upgrade the kit I would get:

• Workout clothes
• A bicycle
• A fitness tracker

Reasoning:

For building good overall fitness, you want a combination of strength and endurance exercise. Calisthenics and walking/hiking/running accomplish both for someone just starting out. Exercise clothes are good but arguably optional, as you can work out in regular clothes. Adding a bicycle for combined transportation and exercise later is good, and having a device to track everything is good for understanding progress and keeping motivation high.

Community heating

Isn’t this just district heating? That has been the norm for ages in urbanized areas here in Sweden. District cooling is starting to become built out as well, given that climate change is mandating it little by little.

I’ve started relying more on AI-powered tools like Perplexity for many of my search use-cases for this very fact - all results basically warrant a pre-filtering to be useful.

Yeah, they don’t care that senior talent left because that was the whole point.
