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 miss…

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 …

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 …

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 t…

I presented the same idea[0] and some people had already built something similar. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=JaumeGreen#46718221 List of links: [NKoP]: https://mla…

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 n…

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 peo…

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 mor…

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 m…

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 su…

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 wa…

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 …

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 It has been replaced by basic CRUD using your platform of choice, but it's not as easy.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 o…

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 …

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 documenta…

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…

One of the projects that I have only in my mind space is an Iversonian language with more data structures and the tools to easily navigate an traverse them. Trees, graphs, ... the …

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 loc…

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…

But I'm sure there would be some people that given the following question would not be able to produce any code by themselves: "Let's implement a function to return us the Nth fibo…

A couple of years back I had a problem with a package that didn't reach me, and it was marked as delivered. The only point of contact that responded in any way was Twitter, the shi…

By the way, if the phrase is "X exists and all X are Y" then we wouldn't know if X really existed. We only would know that either X doesn't exists or, if it exists, not all X are Y…

In the solution they explain why they have to conclude that there should be at least one. Let me try again with a bit more explanation. 1. The liar stating something must mean that…

Spotify is quite frustrating sometimes. I live in Spain, so it suggests Spanish podcasts to me, even though I only listen to podcasts in English or Catalan. Music the same, I mostl…
