I was a tour guide in Oxford while I was doing my PhD there. This was always my favourite story to tell. It's a part of history that is simultaneously so foreign and yet so relatable today.

That's exactly what I did. I also switched to a new browser, email provider, and search engine. Haven't looked back since :)

Yeah, if my coworkers aren't in the office, then going to the office is just remote work with a commute. Obviously forcing people that want to work remotely to come in isn't great either though. That's why I'm hoping tha

Not at all. When looking for my current job, having some in-person time was one of my top criteria. I was initially trying to find something 100% on-site, but that proved pretty hard to find. I'm currently doing in-office 2 days per we

No, you can use a quest 2 to play HL: Alyx on your PC via Oculus Link or Air Link. In that case, all the rendering is happening on your PC, and the quest is just a display. The Quest 2 can't run HL: Alyx itself.

Tempted to give this a try instead of feedly, but I can't find anywhere that they say (a) how much premium costs, or (b) what the restrictions on the free plan are. All I can see is on the Sign Up page, there's a drop-down that sa

This is very place-dependent. In california where everybody is driving to work, you're probably right. But in many European cities where people would take public transport to work, and instead are heating entire homes all day instead o

For me it's mostly about ease of collaboration. I love hashing out math/design problems on a whiteboard. Even with good tools there's nothing that allows the same sort of natural, dynamic conversation. Meetings turn into a se

Yeah that's true. In my case, though, my social life is almost back to normal, and I find working in cafes incredibly uncomfortable and distracting. It's definitely been better since I've been able to get out and see friends,

I'm the opposite. I used to think working from home would be great, and that the office was fairly irrelevant given all my work was on a computer anyway. Six months in, the main thing that this experience has taught me is that I never

Fair. I also find the collaboration tools clunky and annoying to use. When judging it as a whole, I find it worse than judging individual components. For example, sheets on its own is a decent tool; sheets as part of the suite is dragged do

G-Suite Google Slides makes me want to cry every time I have to use it. Google Docs isn't much better. They're poor web versions of office software from the 90s. Google drive is a disaster of product. Uploading and finding files a

True, it wasn't done to solve the problem of the engine placement. It solved an entirely different problem. But it does show that the changing the landing gear whilst maintaining type commonality wasn't impossible.

Not really - they definitely could have extended the landing gear of the 737, as evidenced by the fact that they did exactly that for the 737 MAX 10. To handle the extra length they added telescoping landing gear that are about 10 inches lo

Not in economy. They're putting 9 across in the 787, which was designed for 8 across. Same as most airlines, but wouldn't call it comfy.

I've never flown business class, but I'm from Australia and currently studying in the UK. When flying home, I generally try to find a 2-stop flight, which gives 3 7-ish hour flights, instead of the 14-15 hour leg on a one-stop.

Currently, the stopover is in Dubai, not Bangkok (on Qantas anyway).

Reframing the debate can be useful - I actually agree with him wanting to use the term 'piecework subcontractor economy' rather than 'sharing economy' for example. That is replacing one term with certain connotations wit
