I wouldn't be so tough on the online certificates. The key value I get out of Coursera is an unbeatable "time to knowledge" and some proof it was me who attended the course through the id verification. Compare that to tradit

Claude.md is an input to claude code which requires a monthly plan subscription north of 15€ / month. Same applies to Gemini.md, unless you are ok that they use your prompts for training Gemini. The python script works with a pay per u

I'd say in 80% of the cases a pure, static html include is not enough. In a menu include, you want to disable the link to the currently shown page or show a page specific breadcrumb. In a footer include, you may want a dynamic "la

Many alleged benefits of basic income can be explained by flaws in the study design. No I will not quit my 40h if the 1200€ are paid out for three years only. But i will use the money to hire cleaning ladies or baby sitters -> more spare

You could study various subsidy regimes during the COVID-19 pandemic to answer this question. Some regimes subsidized resouces like energy, whereas other regimes provided something like an universal basic income (ubi) to small businesses&#x

IMHO the crisis is fueled by the fact that more people want to enjoy the beauty of barcelona short-term (tourists) AND long term (digital nomads moving and working from there). Short term stayers "pay" with increasing hotel&ai

I can offer another "why?" How many animals attack a wasp's nest? Almost zero, except other wasps in a territory war? How many animals attack a beehive? Humans, bears, apes,.. pretty any big enough mammal that can climb. So b

One big trigger for burnout is if you cannot answer the question "why do I work?" any more. One of the big whys was that working hard allows you to buy a house/appartment which allows you to maintain your standard of living

Disabling guest checkout would have been my weapon of choice or at least requiring the user to enter an email address to so that they are notified when the product becomes available.

Been there. hedger/ledger look tempting, but if you follow the approach of the OP, you need to build your own toolchain around it so that it recompiles your journals on each rule change. I've found it easier to use a spreadsheet.

What does MtCellEdit set apart from the standard spreadsheet program apart from its lightweightness? Any special features?

That's exactly my problem. Assigning the purchase of a new computer mouse to the "Expenses:ITEquipment" account? Easy if you purchased the mouse at your local computer store and used your debit card. Just define a text patter

Funny you bring up logistics and (data) ontologies. I'm a PM at a logistics software company and I'd say the lack of proper ontologies and standardized data exchange formats is the biggest effort driver for integrating 3rd party c

My trick is to make the objects "stand out". Black headphones, smartphones, keys etc are easily overlooked in work bag pockets or when placed on other dark surfaces. I've greatly improved the "retrieval interval" of

We probably wouldn't know anything about Kafka's Works if his agent Max Brod had adhered to Kafka's instructions to destroy all his notebooks and manuscripts upon death.

You can steer attrition by so many parameters - compensation, (non) promotion, change in benefit plans. And again, a "non-regrettable" termination can also apply when the employee quit.

> "Non-regrettable" attrition means either that the person was fired or laid off. No. Every leaver is classified as a regrettable/non-regrettable case - this was a part of my last exit interview when I quit the job."n

Have a slightly different view. In times of high interest rates, you are rewarded for profitability, not for growth. When interest rates are low, your company needs to grow or it will be outgrown by its competitors and becomes a takeover t

The problem with AsciiDoc is that its only maintained implementation AsciiDoctor is written in Ruby, which is a nice server programming language, but not the most logical choice for a multi-platform desktop documentation tool. Sure, there i

The big problem with Markdown is that it is horribly underspecified. Everything beyond basic text formatting and hyperlinks behaves differently in each markdown dialect (e.g. tables). What is the benefit of bolting additional use cases like

Aldi pays top salaries, but also expects top performance. An adage goes that they pay you 1.3x the salary of a normal store employee, but expect the performance of 3 employees;-) They were know for doing cashier drills in the pre-barcode ag

One word of warning about the cozy R&D department of a product org: you may suffer from the boiling frog syndrome. Little attrition and long-time continuity means everybody stays in their seat and there a few true career opportunities b

Also think about the negative case - which people should not sit on the same table because they don't get along too well or will start a neverending dialogue?

Sounds good in theory, but what if your company decides to reduce investments in the spreadsheet product and instead transfer the product team into a much faster growing product segment, e.g. SAP integrations? Then the perfectly qualified P

That may only work if the target group of your product are developers, then it's not a suprise they have a clear understanding what's valuable to them. If your product targets customers outside of the IT department, it's a wh
