It’s great for being paid while working abroad.

Sounds like you need to start working with databases

Agree on that text only screenshots are often less funny but isn’t that issue solved by downvotes?

Fair point, thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Out of curiosity, why would this be more appealing?

I think it’s just about finding out where you like making a difference. Try out different stuff. I realized I didn’t enjoy volunteering because I found it to be too slow, and also I don’t like donating blood. So instead I donate to charities (e.g. https://www.againstmalaria.com/) where a little money really goes a long way.

That is really useful! Thanks for the tip!

Very very cool! Thank you for the links

I didn’t know that, thanks for the fun fact!

Ooh interesting! Will have to try that.

Never even made Jamaican food! Do you have a go-to recipe or chef/youtuber you’d recommend for jerk marinade/Jamaican flavours?

Also use some wine for even more smells! Even when cooking Western food, I’ve grown fond of using a little bit of Shaoxing wine, and replacing a bit of salt with a dash of soy + fish sauce for more complex umami

And in Dinamarca!

Better touch tool might be one approach to mapping a Bluetooth button

I can recommend the book by Douglas W. Hubbard:

How to Measure Anything: Finding the Value of Intangibles in Business

Good point!

Aha I misunderstood, thanks for clarifying.

Actually for this specific context, there’s an easy solution: I reckon for llms self-hosting would be the way to go, if your hardware supports it. I’ve heard a lot of the smaller models have gotten a lot more powerful over the last year.

This is any company, government, or other organisation with +80 employees. The two other alternatives are

1. Have all data in Excel with no data governance, robust procedures, or trust in data, as the organisation grows in size
2. Use only external tools (which in turn are owned by organisations that work like I described in my parent comment)

I’d love to hear of there’s other ways of doing this stuff that actually works, but so far I just haven’t experienced it in my career yet.

As a person working in a field close to data engineering this sounds like they’re actually honest about the process.

Tldr: it’s not possible to “just delete” everything at once, even though we’d love to be able to.

There’s so many layers of where information is stored, and such insane amounts of data in their data platform. so running a clean up job to delete a single persons data in oltp databases, data lakes, dwh’s, backups, etc, would both be expensive and inefficient. Instead what they then do is to do it in stages: flip a flag somewhere (is_deleted = true) which lets it be removed from view initially, and then running periodic clean-up jobs.
