Your point is actually what makes remote work so much more effective. When you work in an office, you get used to things working by chance - people seeing what others are doing, talking about it on coffee breaks and so on. When everybody is working remotely, you quickly realize that those things that happened by chance were actually a lot more important than it might seem at first - and then you can do the dumb thing and go back to having it happen by chance, or you can change your processes to ensure that everyone who may have anything to say about what you’re doing, know that you’re doing it.

The one that really impressed me was the capital on Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. At one point I was walking on top of the walls surrounding it and looking around for a nice screenshot and I was just in awe of how great that city was.

Bolsonaro did absolutely nothing to fight corruption of any kind. All of his feuds with the Supreme Court had nothing to do with the other being corrupt. Much to the contrary, Bolsonaro actively worked to prevent corrupt government officials from being ousted.

Nah I’m sure there’s tech now to make it air tight even while fully open, so it’ll prevent anything from passing through while allowing anything to pass through.

It’s like when playing the lottery, if you say you’re picking all your numbers in a sequence, like 1,2,3,4,5 and 6. People will tell you’re crazy because sequences like that “never” happen. But the same is true for every other combination of numbers too. The sequence just makes it clearer how unlikely you are to ever pick the winning numbers.

Greentext knows its green stuff.

Top headline will be about some new word the young generation is using. The smaller pieces will say stuff like “are you morally opposed to murder? That may cost you your job! 12 out the 14 companies in America say they wouldn’t hire someone with antique puritane views”

And people would also track down and document what race people used to be before the change happened so that they could keep on hating too.

If I say “it’s here” she’ll run towards any window to bark.

It became mandatory for all new products in 2011, so a few years after that most people were used to it, though there’s many people still using adapters to this day.

Type N might not be the best but it was like a gift from heavens here in Brazil. We had no standard before it so most outlets would take one or two unsafe options; most houses would not ground their outlets, people would yank out the ground pin from plugs to make them fit; washing machines would often come with a completely different plug that some houses would just have a different outlet for, while others would use adapters. And so many other issues.

Nowadays you don’t even need to see what you’re doing because you can just stick your hand into outlets to feel where it is and insert the plug blindly without any risk.

This time the chicken got to the other “other side”

The kind you get from social media randos.

More like a tax on weight over roads

I’m not saying it’s good, I’m saying I expected it to be even worse.

I agree it’s pretty stupid to pay a tax just for owning something. Let’s change it so they pay it every time they use it. Much more fair.

Damn now how am I gonna live without “Change my cursor to Sims 4”?

Reading the paper, AI did a lot better than I would expect. It showed experienced devs working on a familiar code base got 19% slower. It’s telling that they thought they had been more productive, but the result was not that bad tbh.

I wish we had similar research for experienced devs on unfamiliar code bases, or for inexperienced devs, but those would probably be much harder to measure.

Wife has been binging Law and Order SVU recently and I noticed there’s a lot of episodes where they have abused children turn into abusive adults, with the explanation that it’s a natural response of the brain trying to get in a position where it will never be vulnerable again.

No idea if that theory has any merit, but if true I wonder if that can also happen in a larger scale, to an entire society instead of just to an individual.
