Really depends on the work you do and your personality. For me being in the office makes it difficult to concentrate due to conversations going on around me. It’s great for information gathering, but as soon as I need to do some deep thinking, it becomes a lot more challenging. Plus it’s a lot less comfortable and I have to deal with the commute, taking up some of my energy before I even get into the office
Ah, I’m a claw. I don’t think I’ve ever encountered a fingertipper.
I remember once upon a time holding a friend’s razer mouse and it just felt wrong to me. I later found out about different grip types and that was essential in picking the right mouse.
I’m so envious that you have it as a job and a hobby. When I started coding I’d hoped I’d be one of those people that just whips up stuff in their free time for fun, but after finishing work I just find myself not wanting to code 😔
I think the rule of thumb is to at a minimum double whatever the recipe asks for
I have a piece of shit Samsung TV that needs replacing. When an app crashes I found holding down the standby button for like 20 seconds and then turn it back on seems to kill the apps on the TV so I can reload them.
No idea if it’s a legit fix; but if not the placebo effect makes me feel better. Maybe other TVs could work the same way?
Unfortunately there is a pyramid scheme in place filled with fools that think they can become that one and are willing to fight against those “beneath” them.
Thank you for taking the risk. I’ll be chilling it from now on.
I really enjoy this chocolate, my only complaints are:
I’ve given up with the pleasantries. I realised having worked in IT for many years, when approaching a machine to fix it, it would start working out of fear of what I might do. I’m hoping the AI’s ancestors will have passed on the knowledge of my existence and the AI will do my bidding out of fear.
I often reference the IT crowd when a colleague is having issues… “Have you tried switching it off and on again”
90% of the time it works, eyes roll, and we all have a laugh
My life changed after getting a Lumie light about 8 years ago I think? I haven’t woken up to a noise alarm since.
I didn’t, but should I ever feel the need to try it I have already watched the tutorial video.
My school did something similar. It recommended I become a fish monger.
Outriders was such a disappointment. It had a good amount of marketing put into it, was clearly meant to be a gaas, but fell flat on its face pretty quickly and even released a DLC content update very shortly after release, and was then abandoned.
But so many other good games on that list!
The Way of Kings (Stormlight Archive) - Brandon Sanderson
When I first bought it, I got through about 3 chapters and then shelved it. A couple of years later I was looking for something to read, I saw this book being praised and remembered I had a copy. I ended up getting hooked and sucked into the cosmere.
You’re right, DNA wouldn’t make someone a pianist. But natural talent is considered a set of abilities people are born with that enables them to achieve success. It could provide the person with the right kind of hands, dexterity, hearing, and aptitude for learning piano to be a better pianist than someone without those things. That is what could be considered “natural talent.”
There is merit in practice, but natural talent is very real. One person could spend years practicing something that someone else picks up and surpasses that person in a year.
Back when I was managing a team, we had a new guy that I was on-boarding. I’d run the. Through all standard procedures and then get them to shadow others in the team, then swap so they are being shadowed and guided.
One day I told him to pair with someone in the team for an afternoon. At the end of the day I took him into the training room and asked him how things had gone. He had a big smirk on his face and said “I know why you had me shadow R”, and with a returning smile I said “and why was that?”, “because you wanted me to see how not to do the job.”
The new guy had hit the nail on the head, the person he was shadowing was a huge under performer and was due to go on a performance improvement plan after repeated attempts to give guidance. Anyway I didn’t confirm that is why I did it, but I’m glad that the new guy had come away thinking that, it showed that the training up to that point had been working.
