Over the years I've got pretty good at helping teams introspect how they work together & helping leadership to understand those inner workings. Typically I'm booked a few months out, but not much further; shoot me an email if you'd like to check or just to connect.
I started out doing sysadmin work, majored in ECE, did a few years of silicon-level failure analysis work, then fled the corporate world to serve for a few years with the Peace Corps, an American volunteer organization, helping people in a small West African village to acquire and use tech for whatever purposes they themselves felt were most beneficial.
Now I'm continually balancing between tech/biz consulting and social impact work, albeit entirely from within the developed world for the time being.

Having everyone on a team have different personalities is managerially inefficient. You have to deal with each team member in a different way instead of being able to have a unified emotional approach. So we required frontal lobotomies for everyone on the team.
I know this is obvious trolling, but it’s close to a truth. Selecting for a passion for languages that aren’t anyone’s first language gets you polyglots—folks that’ve had to abstract their knowledge and understand what’s an ecosystem feature vs what’s more broadly applicable.
Joking about Rust users rhymes with joking about vegans; it’s true both parties generally can’t keep from talking about their choice. But you do want to hire someone who’s thought about their options and made a decision.
OpenBSD's security stance being the stuff of legend, I'm curious how many vulns have been found over the last couple months while the big model companies are flaunting their ability to find exploits. It'd be super cool to see it remain tiny.
What killed forums wasn’t that they were crappy, or that Reddit exists, or that they were passé. They were killed by the combination of spam and regulation. Same reason Craigslist no longer has personals—we shifted the legal and labor burden onto operators, killing all the small ones.
Yep, this—we aren’t as close to the equator, but there’s less atmosphere to filter UV. Not so much in terms of beach days, of course, so sunburns here tend to be less than full-body.
All that said: a daily mean of 13-14 is past what we’d see here—and yeah that is some serious burning.
Denver, CO, USA resident here -- this looks _super_ useful and I'm likely to start using it heavily. Our weather here is usually very outside-encouraging (if getting hotter over the years) and our UV is _ridiculous_; I see the index hit 11 and 12 with some regularity. Thanks for the link!
Hm. Am I understanding correctly that this is a repeated and periodic complaint, not a new thing being raised by ISPs? Most of my familiarity with ISP policies is from being stateside, where there's a large overlap in ownership between ISPs and media companies and predictable alignment in policies.
My mistake on tech; it’s a beautiful display. Alas, I speak from experience when it comes to the thermally-caused color shift. Hopefully it’ll be AppleCare covered.
This strikes me as the right move, but the timing isn't lost on me. Model training companies want easier access to data, and they have a lot of money and are growing their lobbying and political influence muscles.
The culture of the people should belong to _the people_. Let's make sure this doesn't just turn into a transfer of which small subset manages to profit from it.
If you’re going to stare at it year in and year out, getting the best fit for yourself is worthwhile. I shelled out for PragmataPro ages ago and have no regrets there.
