Readit NewsRemember, always blame individuals for systemic issues.
All the things that the driver might ever do during driving (blinkers, lights, radio, ac,...) should always be controlled by a physical button, that is easy to find by touch only, even in the dark.
On the other hand, reseting TPMS (air pressure system) sensors, looking at service history, internal error display, setting "welcome home" interval (delay with turning the lights off when parking), etc, are much easier done on a touchscreen with a nice menu with all the settings.
Somehow car manufacturers like the extremes... either you use a touchscreen to turn on the ac, with a few popups first, maybe even an autoplaying ad before you can change the temperature... or you have to press six random buttons at the same time and count the number of blinks of a random led on the dashboard to navigate the "menu" to change a not-everyday setting on the car.
I drive pretty old used cars so I don't know what newer ones are like
I can come up with a reasonably convincing story for every individual Job about why I quit that one. But taken together, there's no reasonable story that would convince a hiring manager.
It comes down to this: I hate being an employee. I want to work on my own projects on my own terms. This is the only way I can find work that is worth doing.
That said, the wording of the article is weird.
> If your job is terrible, you can leave
As if you're affirming an anxious person.
Listen, yes, you can leave, but you shoule know that there absolutely will be consequences for leaving too early.
Fewer employers will consider hiring you.
For one thing, I have relatives that got into the tech scene after me, but rack in much higher salaries than me. I'm not sure what it is, but probably staying in their jobs for more than two years helps.
If your goal in life is to find a stable employment, then you should absolutely not "just leave".
For me, that was never my goal in life (and frankly I can't understand people whose goal in life is that). So I had no qualms about leaving when I found that I lost the will to continue working the job.
That said, I still hesitated and took my time. I still cared about finishing whatever project it is I'm working on. I felt a sense of responsibility for the company, because they are paying me to do a job, and quitting half way through is just not the right thing to do.
> and frankly I can't understand people whose goal in life is that
Not sure I'd call it a goal in life since most people in tech are in-demand enough to take it for granted, but providing the job has good work-life balance and isn't too stressful it's the best way to work to live. Also, not everyone has the luxury of not needing stable employment
Does any one have any suggestions for what addons to use with FF these days to make the web livable? It's been years since I was gone, and I want to do an apples-to-apples comparison to see how it fares.
> So how do you use them? Well, it turns out they’re not documented. They rely on a non-public function and flags which I had to duplicate in Firefox.
Gotta love it. You need to reverse engineer the kernel to get good performance on MacOS.
