Not often, no, and for that reason. If you do a web search for the terms 'audiophile' and 'ABX' you'll find quite a few reports which are quite fun to read.
Oh the agony of not being able to say the next thing when everyone’s waiting for you to speak. Right in the middle of what was supposed to be a great point - in my mind, at least.
And yes it feels like the perception is going to be you’re thinking slowly or forgot what you were saying, but no, miles ahead in my brain here with a huge amount to say, busy processing it as I speak so I can get it across succinctly and appropriately for the audience - then ... blockage.
Try finding stuff. In a large org, even with as much careful organisation and attempting to make things searchable, it just gets impossible. That doesn't mean Confluence is bad of course - it may just be a hard problem.
The Office for National Statistics shows a continual fall in the long term rate of theft for the UK since 1995. From around 11k incidents per year to around 4K. A steady decrease.
Apple Maps has replaced Google Maps for me. I’ve been trying to move away from Google and this has been an easy one. I don’t notice the difference most of the time. When I do, it’s because I’ve pulled up Google Maps by accident and it’s cluttered and spammy.
If you use your own VPN to home then you can access everything on your home network without setting up port forwarding, if you have stuff like that. I used to but not these days.
You could also have the PI run a VPN client and connect to a privacy-promising VPN service, effectively ‘bouncing’ off home.
Not sure if that is even technically possible without pain, or why you wouldn’t connect directly to the privacy-promising VPN.
Newer Tiles have replaceable batteries. Also the app shows how close you are to the Tile and it seems to work. Also I seem to be able to find these, where with the older ones I had the same issue as you where I couldn’t find them when I wanted to.
I still press the button from my pocket and call my phone though. Grr.
When working on GUIs that used callbacks like this, I’d have a method for setting the value of the second component which didn’t raise a ’changed’ event, or I’d turn off raising events for the second component before telling it to change then tell it to continue.
They weren’t beautiful, but both methods worked fine for the rare cases they proved necessary.
And modern software that does the same. Cisco AnyConnect VPN thing, for example. You can feed it a command file, but that doesn’t give you any error handling or logic to handle dynamic responses. Expect to the rescue!
There is always going to be major flux as new architectures are evolved until they are stable. If this was hidden, there would have been little input from outside Microsoft.
While there have been legitimate problems with this process - for example, the explicit ‘go live’ given by Microsoft before things were truly stable, there was a choice made to develop in public and the net result (sorry) seems positive to me.
I worked on KDE apps and some of the core bits for a while and hung around on IRC, where I found some Qt work. I did some short term gigs and some permanent (making Zaurus apps, among other things), all entirely remote. This was in the early 2000s.
