>an owner who said things like "microsoft can build excel, why can't we build <insert feature here>",no project/product managers to manage the todo list, so everything was urgent and must be done imediately!
<10 employees here. This is exactly my experience. The grass is always greener.
Any choice in publishing one news is simultaneously an active a choice in not publishing another. Furthermore, there is not one singular truth to report in the vast majority of news, in particular of political nature.
The solution is not to find another news outlet that feels more like truth. Instead, find a few different news outlets and understand their biases.
Careful mixing weather with climate. Depending on the model used, the Lyapunov time[0] for such a model is a couple of days. The whole climate system is a different beast, so no use comparing our predictions in one with the other.
What kind of open source projects are useful to go for? This seems like by far the best way to spend a few months. I know Python best but I don't mind learning a new language.
Shutting everything down in favor of quarantine is very problematic. If child care and schools shut down, no parent can go to work. Unless they get someone else to take care of their children, in which we've effectively bypassed the lockdown entirely. If this is the solution, let's hope most of your doctors, nurses and their auxiliaries don't have kids. And that is to say nothing of the economy of lockdown.
Herd immunity is a very real thing, and considering most young people can get affected with rather mild symptoms, perhaps a steady infection rate to build up immunity among the population is way better than hoarding and locking down.
Brood War does this all the time. The pathing is notoriously bad[1] and nothing has been done to fix it because it's not a problem. It allows players extinguish themselves by working with the weird behaviors.
It's totally doable. I type fast and know my LaTeX. Only time I feel like I'm at a significant disadvantage is when new symbols are introduced that I have to look up.
Only math is done in LaTeX, for clarification. They're rendered as images and imported into OneNote (via EqualX, if anyone's looking to do the same).
Slowing down to a pace comfortable for you means, at least in my classes, that you'll miss the next thing in the presentation. Notes are not for immediate learning, they're for assisting in learning later on. As an physics engineering student, I take notes with a combination of LaTeX and OneNote on my Surface 3.
Additional benefits by using a laptop to take notes is that they are searchable, archived and accessible for however long you like, and sharable between classmates. Hand written notes can obviously be shared and archived as well, but nowhere near as easily.
It's not negligence. The hardest part about the above calculation is, as usual is, the first step. This is true in general in mathematics; the calculations of a proof are similiar to that of another proof, but the tricks are what makes them difficult to figure out the first time. Setting leavers = joiners is a trick. The rest is just arithmetics.
