It's not entirely about what they're watching (though even what you are describing sounds awful), it's about what they're missing out on in that time. It's 2 hrs every day not communicating with another human being,

100%. Ignoring the fact that sometimes founders feel the need to put their stamp on everything, for startups and scaleups that haven't progressed to corporate slog, I think it's near impossible for even the best staff designer in

It’s a clear headed decision. Every euro of it needs to be spent on infrastructure. We can’t fix the shit weather but we can try to bring the country up to modern standards. IMO, fears of companies leaving are unfounded. We’re still the onl

I got mine (recently) for two reasons: 1- My desk was always covered in paper and I hated the mess. On this point, I am 110% satisfied. My desk is super clean. 2- I found it very hard to keep track of multiple projects, or discussions acros

Leeway: The "lee" is the area downwind of a vessel. A lee-shore is a shoreline that the wind blows on to, as opposed to a windward shore that the wind blows off. To give leeway is to allow enough room for a vessel to be blown off

A "hitch" knot is typically used to fasten around a fixed object. So you might use a hitch to tie the boat to the shore, or tie a line around a wooden (or these days aluminium or carbon fibre) boom. I'm not sure if it's

You should still do that. And you should read the paper and pick the bits you think might be useful and iterate on them. The cutting edge isn't like a knife, it's more like a rotating barrel of blades that take little chunks out o

Perhaps a transparent door, inside the main insulating door. So people could open the fridge and stare slack jawed without letting all the cold out. Condensation blocking the view would be an issue I suppose.

I have a folder of a dozen or so short stories that I like to write as a distraction when code gets too...rigid? It's a wonderful hobby that takes very little effort and becomes it's own reward. Never shared anything though.

Off-topic, but that paper is extremely well formatted and illustrated. It was a true pleasure to scan through.

Relevant story based on your example: During the early days of the covid lockdowns, before nursing home staff or residents were vaccinated, many staff quit en masse to work as covid test center staff. The hours were better. The job was less

I currently live in Dublin, I think you are exaggerating quite a bit. There are many reasons not to live in Dublin (poor housing quality / price, high cost of living, poor public transport, crime, etc) but the weather is absolutely not

I'm guessing here, but I assume a double buffer would solve this for many cases.

Clearly there are more parameters than accumulated practice time, but I'm really getting at the point that some people (most people?) probably could manage to reach many of those tricky shots given enough practice. But they don't
