"How did ancient egyptian managed to cut rock that cleanly without modern tools?"
vs
"I'm very interested in old tools and techniques, do any of you have resources about how Egyptian used to cut granite?"
Sadly, this is the state of the internet, because some people can't be genuine (probably think it's a weakness or something dumb), now everybody assume the worst of everybody else.
I've read in this thread that Texas removed provisions for a mandatory hydration/sunscreen break after 4 hours of work.
Being alone is what is truly demotivating imho, and even my job where I like the mission, the company culture and I like the juniors at a personal level, I would have quit or at least started to check out and stop caring if not for the other senior in the team.
Also, you can care about the mission w/o caring about the company and the management, and refuse the additional pression (easier to say than to do, It took me half a decade, a nasty manager and a psychologist to learn to say no).
Good luck, take care of yourself, I like the part of your personality that leaks through your writing, you seems like a good person, keep it that way.
I also changed the way I do review because it has been more than a year and the juniors/new hire are still lost, wether on domain knowledge for the older new hire, or just capabilities for the juniors, and discussing with other departments, it's the same for like 95% of them. Now, rather than correcting the PR or adding a request for change, I add a whole unit/functional test to the PR and let that as an exercise to pass the test. They can use AI but I tell them to try to find what part of the code doesn't work before generating the fix, hopefully they'll take ownership of the code if I keep doing that.
Because honestly anybody who played stuff like KSP RSS or any space game taking place in our solar system represented at scale with adequat orbit weirdness probably told themselves "that's Pluto? Ok i get it, not a planet".
I agree with the author on the '2yo is too young' point. Obviously it depends on the children, we are all different, but I have noticed that even some early 3yo have trouble 'socializing' (or what count as socializing at this age, before ~4-5 yo, I.e stealing from each other, fighting over the stolen objects, then learning to share.).
I also agree that we don't know much, but: I would 100% advise every parent to attend least send their children to a youth camp during summer around 5-6yo (4 even if you think he is early in his development). If the counselor is great, you will get back children who have sung with other for a week (once two of my charges started harmonizing by themselves, without me prompting them to, this was great), learn enough knots to impress you (especially considering the focus and dexterity of a 4yo child), and tell you stories about building homes for forest fairies. And even if the counselor isn't _that_ great (I will stop giving myself flowers someday, today's not the day though), your child will socialise for a week, probably learn interesting stuff (and probably sing too, this is like counselor 101).
Of course... Every year where the consequences weren't in sight, saying we should consume less, buy less, eat less meat, I have been called 'degrowther' and it has been explained to me that I would increase human suffering because it would reduce the economy size. Ok, fair, I just wanted to help future human, but if you don't plan to have any, you do you.
Now I'm told I think it's corporations that should fix it. Of course.
By the way, I still think it's consumerism (and consumption capitalism) the reason we can't deal with the issue. That corporations are the biggest voice that push for this system is incidental, but yes, breaking big corps in smaller entities would probably help solve the problem. A bit too late now, but better than never.
Also, who on the left think that corpos will do anything to help humanity? Really? I think at most, some thinks it's the government to do everything but corpo? Really? Your friends on the left seems to me very, very much in the center, center right to be exact.
In the end i think Azure got to host of all French health data a year later despite the lobbying. Maybe with how the US look with Trump at the helm it will change (to be clear, it was a really weird lobbying in any case, our project was to test pseudonymation algorithms (and probably others) made by our researchers on our platform before selling them to scaleway or OVH depending on who won the project)
disclaimer: I admit i am not a huge fan of the f35 (and especially f35B) because i think VTOL is a gadget which inclusion cost too much in capability, especially when a stealth aircraft have naturally more issues to cool itself, and made the overall design more challenging and worse than what could have been. I still think it is the most capable multirole today, still have the most complete set of EW equipment and its nose size allows a lot of range for its radar. But it is worth it if you can only fly half?
My point is that I would rather have the current leader in Syria than an Isis that use it as a base for transnational terrorism (like lybia was under Ghadafi) or a group of uneducated cunts like the current Taliban leadership that terrorise most of the population. The best would have been no civil war at all, and a democratic transition. We don't have that.
The current leader is violent and undemocratic, he doesn't deserve the position he have.
Nevertheless, cutting Syria off, or worse, triggering a new civil war because we don't like him and we are afraid of his politics before we actually see his politics is idiotic. Especially since his policies have evolved to something way less integrist and way more legalist (hence my comment on no terror attacks), which, imho and maybe I'm wrong, is probably the best chance for an islamic administration to be part of the modern world (the best scenario would be a secular government: we wouldn't have that in Syria even if the SDF won). Let's give Syrians a chance.
