That’s just what they want you to think.

I heard that if her white van drops below 30 the cat explodes.

(Swiss)Germans are completely mad about food.

It’s their culture to complain about everything, except food. All they care about is that it’s as bland as possible and has big portions. If you manage that, they’ll give you five stars every time.

I spent 3 years living in Germany, and not only can you not get anything spicy for love nor money, they also don’t use herbs. It just blows my mind. They’re physically so close to France and Italy, but the food is so far away.

Honestly, if you’re sharing office files you’re probably using office 365. This means everything is a web app first and therefore Linux compatible.

I tried using the desktop version of word on a Mac last week, and the latency was so bad on a shared document that I had to switch to the web app anyway.

Basically, if you just want to use Linux you’ll be fine. If instead you don’t want to use Microsoft, you’ll probably have lots of problems.

Microsoft have been brutally effective in getting their tentacles into academic institutes, and you’ll find that everything from email to logging into internal sites relies on an office 365 account.

Yeah but they don’t use LLMs for this, they’ll use some other kind of machine learning mixed in a big pipeline of data processing. It makes it really hard to guess how much work it would take to fix. It might require retraining, might just require an easy patch of the rest of the pipeline.

My guess is that they’re just shitty jumpers and there’s nothing to fix anyway.

I’m at this point too. I think the next step is to just declare sock bankruptcy again and throw everything out and start over.

I mean it’s worth remembering that some of the poorest areas in the country are in London. https://citymonitor.ai/community/uk-census-tower-hamlets-has-the-worst-child-poverty-rates-in-the-uk

Basically, the government doesn’t give a shit about poor people regardless of where they live. They just want to ensure that hedge fund managers living in Surrey can commute into their London office with a minimum of inconvenience.

Work socks as well.

They’re socks that go with construction boots. Basically the same as hiking socks but cheaper.

Good luck suing a cop. The courts have consistently ruled that they can basically do what they like and you can’t sue them for shit.

Both. It’s like the saying “Governing a big country is like cooking small fish.” (With the explanation that if you keep poking it, it’ll disintegrate) also taught me how to cook fish as well as realpolitik.

The fish advice was most useful.

The title of the actual paper includes “Occupational Cognitive Demand” which is a lot more on point.

Doesn’t need to be fun, doesn’t need to be interesting, just needs to be hard.

Accountancy has a fairly high cognitive demand, but calling it stimulating is a stretch.

It’s very true on a Mac. Almost every time you click the green button, it jumps to full screen and then you can’t drag another window on top of it.

It’s a pain in the arse because my workflow is to have a reading screen with documents and emails on, and a work screen with whatever I’m actually doing. But if outlook is full screen, you can’t drag any other windows on top of it.

Don’t know why the first guy was saying this is a Windows thing though. I only run onto it on macs.

I’m surprised they found that there is no evidence that using these platforms is “rewiring” children’s brains. Wasn’t it shown that social media companies base pretty much their entire technical decision making on psychologically conditioning not just children’s brains but everyone who uses it?

Not really. There’s a difference between things being sticky and actually altering the brain.

Yeah, we spend more time on social media than we intend, but I also take longer to get up in the morning than I’d like. The big question is does this alter the rest of my behaviour, or my mental state, when I’m not doom scrolling or refusing to leave my duvet?

That’s a much harder question to answer, and the evidence is a lot more mixed.

It’s good for anything that has thousands of examples on stack overflow.

For example, every time I end up trying to work with pandas, I always forget the syntax and it’s generally good here.

Anything unusual, or that is sufficiently complicated that I wouldn’t be able to Google for, and just forget it.

Great that’ll go really well with teams, teams classic, and teams work and school.

Is buddy really a problem?

I’d be more worried that someone thinks I’m treating them like a dog, than a man.

If you don’t know about it, check out https://wordnet.princeton.edu/

It’s a great starting point for any English word hierarchy.

But if it kills everyone, it can be fair.
