I’m lucky to have a friend group who all get together semi-frequently on Discord to try out any new games we’ve found and enjoy. We all have pretty similar tastes in games, sometimes a few of us will be playing something others might not enjoy and vice versa, but in those instances we’ll still hang out and chat but just play our separate games instead.

I would agree that one roadblock is that we all have less time now as adults with careers (and other responsibilities) than we did when we were students, but we do our best to make time all the same.

In terms of public multiplayer with randoms - not for me, tbh.

From the article:

the Russians consider Eurasia a single continent

India is on a separate tectonic plate to the rest of Europe / Asia.

IMO, if you’re looking at continents purely from a geographic/geologic frame of mind, dividing them up based on what plate they are on makes the most sense. But, that would not take into account cultural/political/legal boundaries, all of which are probably more important day-to-day.

I’ve always merged. Rebase simplifies the history graph, but realistically I can’t think of a time where that has been important to me, or any of the teams I’ve worked with.

Maybe on some projects with a huge number of concurrent branches it becomes more important, probably less so for smaller teams.

Why shouldn't electric plugs screw in?

I just watched a TikTok about how people used to plug in things to their light sockets when electricity was first becoming popular. And they kept calling the plug a light socket, what rule says it’s not a plug that screws in? And why shouldn’t plugs screw in? We have material science to make plugs and cables hard enough that...

And what if you need to unplug something quickly?

I recently quit my old job which was desperately trying to claw employees back into the office (first 1 day a week, then 2, then 3) for a fully remote role. It’s been a breath of fresh air. My new team is spread all over the country and yet everything runs so much more efficiently compared to my old employer.

They do have a small office available in case anyone prefers that environment (or perhaps their home isn’t suitable for remote work) but there is no expectation or requirement to come in, other than a suggestion that each team meets face to face maybe a handful of times per year, if only to get lunch/drinks together or have a social day.

It’s working out great for them as it lets them scale the number of employees they have significantly while not spending any more on commercial real estate.
