I use Google remote desktop with my mother. It's not perfect but it's adequate.

Luckily for us China based companies are pushing the price down and bringing it to those who can afford a decent hardware. Which might not be everyone, but enough people to make it matter. The day AI goes good enough to work in place of a p

So like a Lisp, APL, or Smalltalk program image, but with SQL as the driving force. Everything old is new again. And I don't mean it in a disparaging way. There's lots of "old" ideas that are simply great ideas that did

Pictures do not do justice, and in my opinion the most photographed part (moon covering the sun) is not the most interesting one. How the light changes, the corona when it's total darkness, and the light coming back again. All this is

Except for some drastic cases I've not seen people taking more than 2/3 single days a year. In most places in Europe the first sick days are not comped, so any missed day is a missed paid day. When social security comes into play

TL;DR If you want to be a nitpicker and choose overly precise verbs almost no one is a maker. I will not be looking for books, and probably "made" is a bit too informal to be used in any kind of "formal" conversation, an

You know Gaudí? He was a great architect, and made great constructions visited by millions, like Casa Batlló, Casa Milà, or la Sagrada Familia. To be fair he didn't place a single stone, and la Sagrada Familia was finished long after h

Maybe. Maybe education should be about focusing you in a field, at least the higher you go. But you can focusing on the field learning about how to operate there, of just getting the skills needed to work. When I was at university (and the

The problem is not remembering other people, it's contacting them. One always has a thousand excuses to not do the right thing. By gamifying it, and setting reminders, it gives a nudge in the right direction. It's not different to

Engineering Manager can be a social role with some tech aspects. You attend meetings, negotiate deadlines, evaluate people, navigate project minefields, take decisions or force people to take them,... and the technical aspects are quite min

You can set some reasonably high expectation, not as a target but as an aspiration. Case in point, once when I was asked it I was "I read in an study that one gets happier with more salary up until 85K€, so my aim is to go towards that

Nice. I had the same idea and now I see it done without lifting a finger. I could not make it work to watch a session from my vscode in steamos (it could be misconfiguration from my part), so I don't know if you can alter the speed of

I was explicitly trying to avoid making a personal judgment over the matter on the posts. I do have a negative opinion about it, but that was not of importance. I don't know for sure how people considered slavery 200 years ago, I haven

Not "slavery was right 200 years ago" but "slavery wasn't considered as immoral as today 200 years ago". Very different stake.

One of my list of dream projects that I might never have time to do, and so feel free to "steal" the idea, would be a eink notepad in where you could code in APL or similar. APL was born as a mathematical notation, pertaining to t

200 years ago slavery was more extended and accepted than today. 50 years ago paedophilia, rape, and other kinds of sex related abuses where more accepted than today. 30 years ago erotic content was more accepted in Europe than today, and v

I miss MSAccess, but for the modern age. It has been replaced by basic CRUD using your platform of choice, but it's not as easy. That would be similar to your solution, so either one would work. I think that there might be some similar

Spreadsheets are the killer apps. Since I became pointy haired sheets and documents are the fuel of most what I do. Even things like Jira we use them only for the bare minimum and we refer to sheets to see how things are going. Not that I t

What I dislike of RFCs is that some are accepted, but still referred as RFC, for no apparent reason. I specially dislike when some people try to do the same with internal documentation and still call "RFC 2029 Project Lifecycle" w

FYI naming it Catalan Spanish would be akin to naming Welsh as Welsh English. Catalan and Spanish (also known as Castilian) are two different languages, like French and Italian. So it's normal that you didn't understand much, as e

I love in Spain and in my zone I didn't have Internet access until after 22:00, and it was sloppy at best. 0:49 and light came back, and woke us for a moment. So yeah, you need local first POS applications.

It's the other way around. Python notebooks fall short compared to this because they don't have the same kind of interactivity with the data as GT has. A single tool in the toolkit is already equivalent to notebooks, at least from
