On a similar note, I have friends who watches TV Series and Movies before they come out to create/review the subtitles. Sounds like fun job but gets boring really fast.
Malodextrin is used in energy gels. There was a article about ultra athletes having higher incidence of colorectal cancer. Hopefully more research comes out.
Most companies want to see outcomes quickly. They will always go for tried and tested solutions. Why would they risk building something on their own?
There will be a threshold where companies are too small and the software is too expensive to buy, so they will go for something small that they build themselves. At scale, it will get harder and harder to maintain the solution themselves and they'd rather spend time focussing on their core business than to maintaining their in-house software.
My mac of 13 years is running fine..except I am unable to update the OS because Apple has set limitations on the upgrading OS with old hardware. I will probably end up buying a new mac until I can see a good Linux ecosystem.
A friend who is also in the same situation is however going to Surface Pros. He swears its on par with Mac on hardware.
Interesting that it actually guessed as the neighbouring country. I live close to the border but have never interacted with the people across. Wonder if there might be similarities in tone and inflection.
1. The roster is set weekly. You need at least 4-5 engineers so that you get rostered not more than once per month. Anything more than that and you will get your engineers burned out.
2. There is always a primary and secondary. Secondary gets called up in cases when primary cannot be reached.
3. You are expected to triage the issues that comes during your on-call roster but not expected to work on long term fixes. that is something you have to bring to the team discussion and allocate. No one wants to do too much off maintenance work.
4. Your top priorities to work on should be issues that come up repeatedly and burn your productivity. This could take upto a year. Once things settle down, your engineers should be free enough to work in things that they are interested in.
5. For any cross team collaboration that takes more than a day, the manager should be the point of contact so that your engineers don't get shoulder tapped and get pulled away from things that they are working on.
The low heart rate pattern is not exclusive to skiers. They are seen in elite athletes across all endurance sports. I wonder if the actual issue comes from performing in very cold climate.
