They both share the fact that you don't see your vote enter a ballot box.
In India we have electronic voting and we get to see our vote going in the ballot box.

Question is to people who say if universe is teeming with life, then why is it not visible close by: We don't know how large the universe is. If say life is "teeming" means it's found every 1M Parsec on the size of 10^100M Parsec, wouldn't it be teeming, and yet nothing in our vicinity?
I'm being genuinely curious, not dissing on anyone.
Note that, if they lay you off, you're entitled to unemployment, etc. It's probably better to refuse to resign and also refuse to move. That way, you get whatever severance benefits you are due.
If you are at the company, or just resigned because of this unreasonable policy change, I highly suggest you use your local bar association's referral service (or some other means) to schedule an inexpensive consult with a labor attorney.
This would be then termination with cause. Employment agreements generally state that employees can be required to work from any location as required by the employer. Refusal is then called breach of contract and hence termination without cause.

An email user's viewpoint: pretty emails formatted like web pages (e.g., like what GOG.com sends) may provide a sense of accomplishment to the designer, and their employer a warm, fuzzy, Brand-CompliantTM feeling -- but as a user I kind of like emails that are just... messages. With hyperlinks if it's appropriate. Images aren't always a great idea -- lots of clients block them by default.
Why not have just text in paragraphs with hyperlinks? It'd force you to write good copy, sure, but also it's more likely it'll get read.
A complex layout often detracts from your message. Especially now with web-based clients implementing 'dark mode' and darkening your layouts, meaning you have less control over what the end-user sees.
(Apologies if this is off-topic. I don't mean to denigrate the work designers do, I just feel it's more appropriate on the actual web rather than in email.)
Almost always, for such emails, you are not the audience. We've done multiple tests to check which emails perform better for our customers, and always ones with a lot more visual imagery, heavily HTMLized emails work better than just text and links.
Our understanding for this has been that people are not very email savvy, and for them the visual imagery works more like story telling.

yikes! SO, JP had access to our SMS'es too?!
reading OTP from SMS: to a layman, that's a rather small feature: and why doesn't Amazon do it by themselves ?
not really, I worked on making this for another company. Reading is the simpler side of the story, the complex one is navigating the banking websites to be able to fill this in, and to maintain graceful degradation incase bank websites change

it scans your SMSes and pastes the OTP automatically into the payment page
The Apple ecosystem has done this for years. Do Windows and Android not have similar features?
This is a very new feature on iOS, ~1.5 years. JusPay has been doing this for about 6 years now.

Yeah, docker compose is great for running distributed apps locally when everything “just works”. The problem is that it also impedes development when the compose setup isn’t fully optimized.
I work on dockerized rails apps, and whenever a new dependency is added, it can take 15 minutes to rebuild the image, which completely breaks my flow. Docker also creates a ton of data bloat locally, requiring me to run docker system prune pretty regularly. Setting up a dependency cache isn’t completely straightforward either.
I still think docker compose is worth it, but it’s a deceptively complex beast to get right, and most companies I’ve worked for don’t take the time to get it absolutely right. There’s definitely a cost to using it that people tend to overlook.
Split the dockerfile into 3 parts. builder image for gems. builder image for assets(nodejs and stuff). copy code from disk, gems from image one, assets from image two, into the third image. you will end up saving HUGE time
