It's always funny to me how they are still insisting on customer experience and good coffee house. In the bay area most starbucks have become the burger king of coffee shops: housing of drunk homeless people
I totally agree with the impact of spontaneous things happening when in person.
I had been working remotely for 8 years and really was 100% for it and advocating it.
I recently joined a new job where I'm at the office 3 days a week, and I can definitely feel the difference both in the time it took me to onboard (compared to other remote-only onboarding I did) and the productivity / relationships / other gains from those days we are all in the office.
Those ad-hoc conversation happening around a desk, a white board, at lunch, do bring a lot of value that you never get while WFH. I can definitely see how some of my previous burn outs may have been prevented if I was not 100% remote.
Of course YMMV, but personally I can definitely see how a company may decide to get back to the office and it's definitely not all black and white where remote is better and omg the mean bosses are getting butts back in seats for more control.
the question is, when you "work" more, are you actually "working" more. I'm not advocating for either side, but I believe a few places that have moved to a shorter work week haven't seen lower productivity. Might be a sign that most people actually can't do ~40hrs of work per week.
That's good timing, because with the increase in the price for youtube premium, I started thinking that I wanted an alternative to watching youtube on my TVs without ads.
Does anyone know if using a pi-hole triggers ad-blockers popups on websites, and if yes, is it easy to deal with (either activate ads for specific websites, etc)?
I've just started playing the demo yesterday and I'm hooked. Will definitely buy the game, but wondering on which platform.
My laptop screen already feels a bit small - anyone has an experience playing on switch and thoughts on playing on handheld mode and/or using controls compared to keyboard/mouse?
Yeah, high prices suck but I do agree and fail to see what, exactly, is wrong here?
Don't get me wrong, I don't like TM, I don't like monopolies and I don't like high prices, but... price = equilibrium between offer and demand, it's the basics of our capitalist society, and all this look like to me is that TM is doing a good job at figuring out the equilibrium price for their tickets?
> 19,000 applications from founders around the world and funded 240.
Damn that's a lot of applications to review. Is there any data in terms of quality of applications? Is there a big part of spams/very low quality applications or is everything pretty serious?
somewhat unrelated but I recently looked for a pi and it was sold out or the price tag was 10x the regular price everywhere, mostly because of the chip shortage. Am I looking in the wrong places?
I really like building Conway's Game of Life. It's big enough that each time I still have to think about the solution and how to build it, but small enough that it allows me to recognize patterns and differences from a language to another.
