I'm not sure I would even know how to answer that first question. When I was working, I spent many weekends and late nights traveling. It was my "own initiative" I guess in the sense that it was sort of my job.
I realize that probably doesn't describe a lot of people in which case it's probably the right job for them.
For me, it's much harder to visualize with my eyes closed (not impossible, just not as easy)... when I close my eyes, it's mostly black with some kind of overlay of what I was last looking at -- like burn-in on a screen.
But with my eyes open I can imagine up the elephants or anything else just as detailed as those that I saw in person (either via recall of what I have seen or imagining up something new). I've never given any thought to this... but now trying to explain that I can see something with my eyes open while still seeing whatever I am looking at at the same time sounds really odd. I wonder if the visual stimulation and recall are somehow linked, or maybe I just need to practice with my eyes closed.
Pros: No commute, no micro-management, so much free time to spend on hobbies or with family. Meetings tend to be more efficient since no-one wants to sit pointlessly on Zoom and those that go off on tangents are quickly shut down.
Cons: uhhhh... drawing a blank here. Maybe socializing with co-workers could be a thing that some people might miss?
Who would have thought that giving stimulants, drug best known for making people bounce off the walls, to already hyperactive people would calm them down? But hey, it works for a majority of individuals with ADHD.
Pretty much. I see no realistic path forward that will lead to any kind of de-escalation in the world. Everyone just keeps poking the sleeping bear and adding more and more straw to the camel's back.
Does it need to automatically render whether today is Friday... something like this is silly but kinda works -- requires you to set the date though which I'm not sure is allowed.
<input type="date" min="0001-01-05" step="7" value="2023-07-03"> // valid for all Fridays starting 1AD
Then you can use some css when invalid:
input:invalid {
background: red;
}
or whatever other styling you want, maybe slap some content on another element... you get the point
I would love for someone to aggregate all the claims around coffee. It seems like every week I see a new drinking X or more/less cups of coffee may increase/decrease your risk of Y. Beer/wine too
I like having the option to do a long distance road trip. It's easy to find gas stations and it only takes a minute to fill up.
I rarely see charging stations and I doubt it can recharge in just a minute.
I live in the midwest and own a non-tesla EV, and the minute you get out of any kind of bigger cities your chances of finding a level 3 are quite sparse. There are a LOT of chargepoint level 2s, but level 3s seem to be at car dealerships who don't offer it to everyone, hotels that don't allow it for everyone, etc.
We did a 80 mile each way day trip to visit someone and bring them back and had to line up lunch in an area with no great food options so we could sit for the 30 minutes to get back up to 80%.
With it being cold in the midwest our advertised '280 range' or '180 range at 80%' never is even close to that.
It's like the olden days before really efficient ICE vehicles.
- Have you ever had to work on the weekend or well beyond 5pm outside of your own personal interest/initiative?
- Are we required to be on-call
If there's any hint of "nah, we don't really write tests because we just need to ship stuff, y'know"
