  • 3 Reasons Gen Z Is Getting Fired From The Workplace — A Psychologist Explains

    Jump

  • Mate, I'm not sure you're making a convincing argument for remote cooperation here. When OP said sometimes, that is clearly the majority of cases in your book but I do read that differently.

    Be kind and think of the other people in the conversation. If you want remote to work then act in a way that shows it does work.

    Either case, best of luck in pushing for remote work! Cheers

  • 3 Reasons Gen Z Is Getting Fired From The Workplace — A Psychologist Explains

    Jump

  • I grew up online and there are people I've never met in person whom I can work with no problem. I have never had the need to see someone in person for work myself, but the click isn't there for everyone.

    I dislike generational thinking and this argument seems to play on those lines; I have seen some people working better remote and some working better partially in person regardless of their generation or background. Younger people are more fluent in working remotely but not everyone wants that full-time and sometimes it doesn't work out too well either. Often working in the office is the worst so let's make/keep remote the default.

    My personal opinion is that we should do everything online which can be online and that people who need to work in person should do their best to cater for working online. It helps with climate and can help work/life balance.

    Any form of communication gap is a shared gap. Both sides have to cater to make the conversation work. If OP needs face-to-face then that must be taken into account. If you want that conversation to happen you'd better care for their needs as much as they'll care for yours. OP may have extensive experience in working with people and may have seen this need on their own end and likely on the other end too. Perhaps even only on the other end. On the spectrum of cooperation I'm sure there will be cases where it helps and perhaps even be necessary. I believe it's a small subset of situations.

    By all means, try to stay constructive and learn from others. Whatever they have learned in the past likely applies to our new ways in another form. I would like it if we could keep improving remote.

  • What Would It Take To Recreate Bell Labs?

    Jump

  • I don't think Xerox invented the computer mouse. It was first drawn out by Douglass Engelbart and presented to the public in the 1968 presentation "Augmenting the Human Intellect" (you can watch it on the present day, it was recorded).

    It was my understanding (which I did not verify) that this was picked up by Xerox and others and that windowing systems evolved from there on with Xerox leading towards Desktop Publishing.

    I'm looking forward to play with this.

  • No, I came into this for mechanical prints 7 years or so ago. I would expect there to be dedicated Blender fora where you can ask.

    The slicer (such as Cura) will be fine. Your printer will likely come with some default settings which will be sufficient to get started.

    Blender is the sculpting tool you will master. Cura is the oven. Baking is important, but the general art is in the mastery of the pottery tools.

    Assuming this is all new, it is not a small thing to learn. Some are faster than others but becoming proficient may take months if it's a side gig. It is really fun though. Blender will also allow you to make gorgeous renderings if you'd want but I would stay out of that if you really want to print things as it's another deep and super interesting topic.

    Good luck!

  • I have chosen all the different things in 3D printing than what you need. This is big picture.

    Most 3d prints are not food safe, but I guess that's no big deal for decorative cakes. It is possible to make food safe prints.

    A resin printer will give smoother results for what I've seen but it is more messy with respect to material handling. This is probably what you should do in your case if you know you can handle less safe materials and ventilate correctly.

    The most common 3D printers deposit molten plastic. These are less messy but will yield less details. You can endlessly tweak and modify them.

    For modeling cartoon characters I would learn Blender.

    From Blender export to Cura for slicing into layers and commands the printer understand. Others exist, I doubt Cura does resin printers.

  • Short-haul can hopefully be handled by improved battery tech. Long-haul would need even lighter batteries so it's less likely to work or will take longer.

  • Canada's Record-breaking 2023 Wildfires Released Nearly 4 Times More Carbon than Global Aviation

  • Wow. So Global Aviation puts as much carbon in the air every year from a fossil fuel source which we can't put back than the unique and terrible wildfires Canada had in 2023.

    We sure need to fly less!

  • What's holding you back from trying Codeberg?

    Jump

  • To be honest, I didn't know by heart what we stated exactly. It says "Open source". When we ask we may well say "like a GitHub handle".

    For people without much experience it can all be a bit daunting. They'll know about GitHub and it helps them identify what we're hoping to see. By now I expect links to open source work in a CV due to the nature of our company but it's not a requirement.

    It's a balancing act in getting the right hints in a vacancy for people in the know and providing enough info for people who don't know yet.

    GitHub wasn't all that bad years ago and it's easy seeing this find their way in HR forms and taking as long to be removed again. I certainly wouldn't shun entering a CodeBerg/GitLab/selfhosted url in a form where I should enter a GitHub handle.

  • You're Being Lied To. The EV Market Hasn't 'Stalled'

    Jump

  • Might it be that the chargers are mostly less known? The few times I wanted to have a charger on the road there were ample (fast) options on my way. Discoverable through various apps. This is within Europe, no idea about other places. Europe also has CCS for fast charging so no connector issue (adapter needed on Tesla but it works).

    It used to be more of a challenge 10 years ago but even then is was feasible to reach destinations quite far. Detours were sometimes needed back then.

  • What's holding you back from trying Codeberg?

    Jump

  • We also ask for a GitHub handle but when one supplies Codeberg or GitLab it's seen as very positive. Might not be the case for standard HR though.

  • New York bridge gets stuck open after getting too hot

    Jump

  • Water also needs a substantial amount of energy to evaporate, hence it will sip some heat from the environment around it when it evaporates. Combined with the good thermal conductivity of steel, the bridge cools off.

    You get a similar effect when walking out of a hot shower. The hot water evaporates and cools you down.

  • Belgium shifts right — but not far right

    Jump

  • Belgian here. It's about money and racism. Flanders (north) makes more money and has a higher employment rate. The separatist movement aims to put Flanders' wealth first.

    Foreigners are perceived to threaten our way of life and are perceived to cost money too. Vlaams Belang has been rather controversial in their statements earlier with a new young team creating some uproar. Both claim to benefit the Flemish citizen and will create better jobs with higher incomes.

    Far left also gained ground so we are becoming more polarised.

  • Spanish town bans penis suits and sex dolls from stag and hen dos

  • I'm not a legal expert, but this talks about "inability to fulfill a contractual obligation" rather than the refusal to do so.

    I assume the problem is slightly different and it is mainly a problem of not being able to go after the money (perhaps at reasonable cost) if the travelers have it?

  • Kubernetetes is crazy complex when comparing to docker-compose. It is built to solve scaling problems us self-hosters don't have.

    First learn a few docker commands, set some environment variables, mount some volumes, publish a port. Then learn docker-compose.

    Tutorials are plenty, if those from docker.com still exist they're likely still sufficient.
