When I became a lead dev, one of the first issues I had was a 55 y/o dev who begrudgingly adopted git but consistently included commits like: “Monday morning commit”, “changed some things”, “commit”. He also refused to…
As the saying goes: "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast".
In 2018 I spent ~£6300 on train tickets for personal holiday travel all over the UK. Of that, almost 50% of it was refunded due to meeting requirements for partial refunds due to delayed/cancelled services. After that…
I have had a RX580, RX590, 6600XT, and 7900XT using Linux with minimal issues. My partner has had a RX590, 7700XT on Windows and she's had so many issues it's infuriating.
In around 2017 I had a scholarship at Wuhan University. During that time the university hosted a cultural fair for international students. What was most interesting to me (as someone from the UK) was that I met for the…
Looks like Ilya asked GTP4 to produce an empathetic support message.
I absolutely agree. It is functional and stable, but my gosh I can’t stand the design. The oversized top decoration for windows as well as the extremely poorly rendered pop-up for hovering over elements on the task bar.
I use a Beastmaker 1000 hangboard and follow the Emil's Sub-max Daily Fingerboard Routine on the app Crimpd each day. Absolutely amazing results within a month. I really suggest everyone gives it a try.
I'm in the same boat. It's almost the only application I miss! I use Okular but I think Sumatra just has the right UI for me.
My best friend works for them in diagnostic sub-systems development. The product is still a long way off delivery with many systems being actively designed and refined. Basically it’s busy but will still be quite a…
Why would you say that? Even as someone who is not religious I think he makes quite an interesting argument for the metric used by many to measure success.
I once had to go to court as an individual had attempted to stab myself and another (we had tried to stop them from escaping the police). During the suspect identification process I failed completely; the suspect was…
He supervisor said something that sticks with me: “The person in the crows nest shouting “land ho!” Doesn’t get the credit, it’s the captain of the ship”. While there’s some truth to that, it’s certainly the case that…
Well his statement is definitely excessive, however I would agree that there is a shocking cultural problem with the acceptance of cheating in China. I speak Mandarin and have lived in China, my partner is Chinese. I…
I’ve had a similar experience. I think it simply comes down to emotional maturity and more diverse life experiences. It makes it much easier to empathise with characters, as well as critically analyse the subtext. One…
Yep, the characters used are 防火长城. This is literally "Fireproof Greatwall".
As a speaker of mandarin (Chinese wife) and having lived in China for a year, I really resonate with this. One thing I try to explain to friends is the observation (and generalisation) of the tier of social behaviour.…
My one little life hack for the morning procrastination is this: Always make sure you have set yourself a simple task to complete/continue the following morning. It gives an achievable goal that can help kickstart your…
Kimchi is one of those things that might seem slightly off putting on the initial taste, but god lord it’s addictive beyond that point. I don’t know if anyone has the experience of making it themselves but I would…
This exists in most major cities in China and it’s absolutely brilliant. Such a quality of life improvement.
I think that people outside the field have the wrong understanding of what physicists do. I think you make a good point about models and assertions. However, I would like to add an important point: we are data driven.…
My partner is finishing their masters in China currently (native Chinese). The levels of cheating that go on within her course alone are mind boggling: 1. Girls asking their would-be boyfriends to complete their essays…
I’ve lived in China and speak Mandarin too. I’ve always hated the fact you need a photo, but I was truly disturbed when I went with my girlfriend (Chinese) to have hers done. Even she was uncomfortable with the level of…
I upgraded my iPhone 6s+ from 16GB to 64GB in 武汉市 (Wuhan) for 300元, which is ~£30. The process took around an hour and the phone has worked perfectly since then (3 months ago). It was quite spectacular to see messy…
Having lived in China for the last year it’s pretty much 99.8% ebikes. Petrol motorbikes don’t make an appearance except in very poor areas.
