I’d like to posit a scenario that I’ve often thought on. Imagine you and 100 people all working together to say build a road. These are your friends, some family and other local community members many of whom you also care for and have known for many years.
As a group you work a 5 day week, 40 hours laying roads together.
There’s an especially hard part of the process, and you’ve been thinking on it and realise that with a new approach it can save 20% of the total effort.
To whom do you want the benefit to go.
All to the boss, as they pay everyone and run the business?
All to you as it was your idea.
Or alternatively it could mean that everyone works 20% less, translating into that now everyone can do a four day week and have that extra day back to do and help with other things.
Consider less how it’s split now, and more how you’d want it to be split.
The big idea of yours is like the tech, consider also if others had come up with the improvement.
I’d be interested in what folks saw as fair splits and why.
Boss, inventor, the collective.
The benefit will go to the buyer as 20% more road for the same price. The road workers will get performance reviews now, as any slack will drop production to a higher degree. The stuff turnover will increase as people can maintain that performance level only during short period of time and any injury will disqualify you instantly.
There will be more buyers because more people can afford road at that price and other businesses will benefit from more roads: shops can sell more tires, road repair and snow cleaning companies will have more work. Road building companies will delay hiring new hands as long as possible.
At the end, what we'll end up doing is working more for less money under higher pressure because any slack multiplies faster. With more companies buying cheaper services, there will be less stable companies who shouldn't be in the business anyways but who now is on the verge of bankruptcy and will make life of other businesses way more stressful and unpredictable.
“Firefox is now the first and the only browser to deploy fast and comprehensive certificate revocation checking that does not reveal your browsing activity to anyone (not even to Mozilla).”
Yes, these are the sort of features we want to see. Improvements to the core of how a browser operates. Firefox as THE reference implementation of a quality web standards compliant browser.
For those of us that use vs code for coding but don’t do data science, could u tell us a bit about core extensions or things you do with vs code that goes beyond what an average day webdev would be doing with vs code. Eg what extensions to add to replicate like what this tool does.
In all honesty, trying to shoehorn the CC apps to run on Linux just isn't a viable solution. As someone that does a ton of photo and video stuff it was a sticking point for me for quite awhile as well. Luckily, I don't make my living from my photography, so I was finally able to just dive head first into the open-source tools to start figuring out a new workflow.
Im interested in others views around mentioning the installation of tools in project README's.
Coming from Mac centric ruby teams, we commonly mention installing things with 'brew' as part of how to get a local environment setup. The theory usually being that the linux devs usually will confidently use their own package manager and the well I havent worked with many windows devs.
In theory having brew as a workable options for teams that are on mac and/or linux, provides for a nice cross-platform base for documentation.
Interested in others views around documentation for teams in this area.
Homebrew can be useful for installing packages that aren't easily available on your distro. For many software programs, you may need to use Flatpak, Snap, or install from source. Using Homebrew can make it much easier to install and maintain.
For some distros, finding an updated package is difficult. You either have to deal with an outdated package or get the updated one via cumbersome means. If that package is available on Homebrew, you can easily get the updated one using a single command.
In the upcoming days, I can see myself continuing to use Homebrew on Linux for managing Linux packages due to its quality of life features and rich documentation. Especially if you're a developer, you're bound to love it.
What a stupid comment at the end of the article. The vindication is of having the company exist in the market in such a way as to encourage competition.
If I was shopping for a near flawless diamond engagement ring and someone was offering me the lab-made version.
I think I’d be quite swayed towards the lab ones knowing that there were engineers who used them for industrial use and found them exactly the same.
Also being much cheaper, I’d likely spend money towards getting a better grade lab-grown diamond than I could afford with a mined diamond.
If I was the lab-grown industry I’d also be actively attempting to shift the narrative around the term real, and say ones mined one is lab made, both are real. But that’s its own fight I’m sure.
