The Crash Reel - an amazing tale of a person preparing for the olympics, with an unexpected turn and just a very heartwarming/impressive journey - very very highly recommended.

The Cove - follows a whaling event that happens every year, and exposes the savagery of it. However, it's filmed almost like a thriller, in how the team set up to expose the event. Very eye opening, if a little sad, but very very good.

Drew: The Man Behind the Poster - just an amazing documentary about a man who makes amazing film posters - incredible, you'll see that he's responsible for so many recognisable posters from your childhood.

Being Elmo - lovely film about the puppeteer behind Elmo - really heartwarming

13th - very good film about racial injustice in the legal system.

- Irritating keyboard behaviour (autocorrect, having to manually add custom words)

- Inability to organise the home screen to my liking

- Inability to adjust the volume of external devices, such as other Spotify devices

- Poor audio switching - if I have music playing, and play a video on another app, the music will not resume after the video ends

- Inability for third party apps to use the alarm volume - so that if I install a third party alarm app, it will change my system media volume to the level of the alarm. Therefore, if I'm playing music and my alarm rings, suddenly the music volume will increase.

- Inability to change the snooze time (hence having to resort to a third party alarm app)

These are just a small selection of (seemingly minor) issues that I had with iOS, and there were more. I appreciate Apple as a brand for its more favourable data privacy aspects, but iOS has a lot of shortcomings and reasons for a user to prefer Android. However, it's important to note that I'm used to Motorola G phones, and now the Pixel, both of which forego any irritating skinning/custom UI over the top of plain Android.

>Dear original post author, you really need to start doing something that you enjoy or that motivates you. You can also try to structure your life in a way that allows you to not work when you don't feel like you can or will be efficient.

May I ask why? The OP doesn't suggest anywhere they are unhappy. Presumably, they have a very good work-life balance, seemingly leaning toward the 'life' side of the equation. They presumably have a lot of time to themselves, to enjoy as they see fit. Furthermore, they say that their performance reviews range from good, to great. So if all the above is true, both parties seem to be happy with the arrangement.

I am in a similar position, and I think it boils down to not relying on my work for personal satisfaction or happiness. I work to live, not live to work. I provide a good service to my employer, and I believe my value is in my overall output, not overall input. When I am needed, I work hard enough to achieve the end goal. Otherwise, I work enough to satisfy my employer, regardless of how long that takes. My relationship with my employer is transactional, and I see no moral obligation to work beyond what is absolutely necessary - providing I do enough to satisfy my employer.

I do however understand the mindset of someone who is motivated and driven by work and their career. If that's what floats your boat, more power to you. That's not everyone though, and as long as the person is still providing enough value to someone that their salary is still a worthwhile investment - hey ho!

e.g. facebool.com or similar, presumably there's an interesting distribution of similar misspellings.

The silver box and the camera are the relevant parts, the connection to the other PCB is just to receive telemetry from the flight controller.

I don't think it's slow necessarily, but it's very disorientating (especially at first). Because of this, the whole first season can fail to make any sense, and so feel slow. You miss out on a lot of the value that the characters bring because you don't know WTF is going on.

I tried 2 or 3 times at least to get into it, always failing a few episodes into series one. It took a further watch with the mindset of "I'm going to watch regardless, and trust the recommendations that brought me to it". By the end of the first series, I understood the slang/characters/plot well enough to be rewarding by the rich characters and relationships and loved it. From there all the way to the end of the final series it was plain sailing.

I don't think there's many other series that I've had that experience with, and I really wholeheartedly recommend struggling through the first series (and with subtitles is a great idea), as the whole thing is my favourite TV show of all time.

I think you're right that it doesn't have any big explosive events necessarily, but the story is so great that I don't think it needs the artificial cliffhanger-ness that other 'faster' series may have.

For me personally, the ability to upgrade RAM and storage, and graphics card on a desktop are central to a professional workflow, and part of my purchasing decision as a prosumer.

Coupled with a million other issues I've had over the past few years, including reliability and support, I no longer feel the added cost of a Mac versus a Linux machine is justifiable.

And then there's the degradation of reliability software wise. Way more regular crashes, bugs etc. Dodgy Bluetooth issues, WiFi issues, a bricked iMac after a software update, and way more (including the MacBook keyboard issue, which I'll need repairing).

And the support. I've had good experiences with Apple in the past, but a recent issue with my iMac has led to it being repaired twice, and still it's broken. I've been dealing with this since January. I've experienced faulty diagnoses, lies about consumer law rights for replacement (which they've since confirmed was incorrect on multiple occasions), they forgot to put my RAM back in, they scratched my screen, and now it clearly hasn't been assembled correctly as the speaker causes something to reverberate in the case, as if a screw's lose. My most recent interaction with a senior support advisor was the most awful of my life, and I've never dealt with such a confrontational customer support person. After finally getting a replacement machine authorised (for the second time in 2 weeks), it's been cancelled a further 2 times for "unknown reasons", leading to more delays. It's been a real nightmare.

Purely anecdotal of course, but I've had that many negative experiences with my Mac's in general recently, both hardware and software, that I feel it is not coincidental. The MacBook and Mac lineup in general is moving towards being too expensive for the joy and stability it gives me, and I'm very close to moving back to Linux after what has up until relatively recently been a very positive experience for almost a decade for me.

I really hope that the new keyboards are a sign of better things to come, but I'm not holding my breath.

Is there somewhere I can read about this in more detail?

Thanks!

When put on the spot with a time crisis I tend to go too deep down a rabbit hole before realising the shortcoming of the approach I chose to take.

This leads to me usually doing great in take homes, compared to these recent in-person assessments. Also, confounded by having to work on an unfamiliar machine without any of my usual tooling which I'm not a fan of, especially as a keen fan of having a decent debugger set up.

A fast viewer a friend of mine created to view large CSVs in a GUI - might be useful to someone.

I recently converted it to JS and also Ruby, as an excuse for a few coding exercises. It's still a work in progress, but can be found here:
