that’s exactly why we have mandatory code reviews now…

tbh I’m surprised that you even got upvotes, didn’t went that well for me with a similar answer on another post…

Makes me think about what human life is supposed to look like.

I also spent most of my energy working, but I do get some time to occasionally do things I like but those also take some energy. If I imagine my perfect life I probably wouldn’t have the energy to live it. But still, I can’t help thinking I should do much more and I feel bad…

would be even better if they had not killed all the emulators…

Thanks for the interesting write-up!

Thanks, I’ll have a look. It’s an universal mains power supply with no voltage switch.

How were you measuring the current in the power cable? Is this with a Kill-o-watt device or perhaps with a clamp meter and a line splitter?

For the current both with a line-splitter+clamp and checked with an in-line meter. For the power factor, since I don’t have any actual instrument to measure It, and I just needed a ball-park figure to discern actual consumption from a capacitor, I used this diy method: https://www.giangrandi.org/electronics/cosphi/cosphi.shtml , which measured 0.04 ( with great approximation ).

As for why there is a capacitor across the mains input […]

I have the basic on how a switching power supply work, but I was asking because it seemed weird to me that commercial appliances didn’t take any stand-by meaures to avoid “keeping the wires warm”… is this the norm?

Exactly, even when applied correctly, many projects will just not work with scrum. Managers that sponsor ONE approach have already failed…

The point is just differentiating your behavior between what you call a “bad” or a “good” junior.

And from experience the difference is whether they want to learn (regardless of their skill!!) or not (i.e are they passionate or it’s just a job?).

Passionate seniors get frustrated when they try to teach bad juniors, but there is no point on doing that, the problem was just that the senior was not involved in the hiring process…

In Italy it’s required by your contract, but you no longer need HR fortunately, there’s a dedicated website, and yes employer notice MUST be the same as the employee one…

The main issue is more about how many FOSS devs are available to implement what you just said unfortunately…

Since italy pays those countries to “guard their coasts”, there have been many instances where peoples were forced to board these ships and “charity ships” were notified before hand in a sort of human-traffic type of business that makes profitable to enlarge the issue, there are multiple sides to these stories, It’s not that simple unfortunately…not that I agree with what Italy is currently doing rn of course

With some more restrictions, you may want to look into oblivious transfer https://yewtu.be/watch?v=wE5cl8J27Is

The main downside of Tuta free for me is that you can’t create filters for free. The main downside of proton free is that you can’t remove their signature…

It is a stupid way to implement it, but the called function is named setMonth()! The minus one is performed externally, so if you set February you expect February, validation should adjust the other fields…

Windows

Tv and movies don’t look choppy because the shutter speed of the camera smooth out the movement with motion blur. Motion blur in games is instead just simulated and not as effective.

Also as someone else have said a game is interactive and input latency can be as high as 3 frames, which at 30fps would be 1/10s and can be perceived…

Agree, but it’s usually easier to find a new job with better working conditions than to change them on your current workplace unfortunately…
