I apologize if I misread your comment.

And I wish people like you kept their mouths shut. Seriously. Never ever give someone shit for creating.

Perhaps, perhaps not. With enough CO2 in the atmosphere, we could trigger an irreversible cascade. We'll essentially turn the planet into a second Venus. Your glib confidence is misplaced, as there isn't anyone who can say for certain how this will turn out.

Where are these new ones forming exactly?

While this should never be the goal, it's really easy to convince me to do this. Give me an impossible problem and the agency and support I need to accomplish it. And finally, actually reward me for success.

Give me a project of busy work or "connecting lego" as we call it, and you'll be lucky if you get that 2-4 hours the responder is referring to.

Calgary is a bit of an outlier, they get a weather phenomena called chinooks. It's not uncommon for them to get several periods throughout the winter where their temperatures are above freezing due to these chinooks.

I'm guessing he lives within a few miles of the American border. It gets a lot colder than that up here. I remember in college trying to find a kitten on a farm that escaped the house for a girl I was into. No idea what the temperature was, it only had markings to -50c (-58f) and all the mercury was in the reservoir. Unfortunately, it doesn't take long to freeze a little kitten in those temperatures.

Jira is great if you have the time to learn and customize it, but I wouldn't recommend it to a single guy with a single repo. You really need multiple roles with multiple workflows for it to be of value. It's overkill for a team of 5 or less.

This is an ignorant question, but when you zoom in full, is every light dot a star? Or is it noise, like you get with a poorly lighted photo?

Why exactly did you feel the need to share any of that drivel?

You mean the game that AMD is giving away for free with it's cards right now, to showcase it's cards, which has been optimized completely for AMD cards is outperforming nVidia cards? I'm shocked.

I started with screen, but moved to tmux around 5 years ago. For me, the sell was in custom layouts, and the no nonsense screen splitting. I usually work on several different project types, and have a scripted layout for each the of project types. This makes getting started in the morning instant.

Tmux is great, but only after customizing it and making it your own, and this can take a fair bit of time. If you find yourself shelling into remote servers you don't control, or want to use it on Windows prior to Windows 10, then screen is probably a better choice. While tmux could be used on windows through cygwin, I never found it to be stable enough for day to day use.

If you set up the culture right, this isn't as big of a problem as you might think. On our team, it doesn't matter if you're the manager or not, the decisions for the product are made by consensus of the team. Sure management will still do approvals for time off and deal with the skinned knees and runny noses. But for day to day operations, it's peers working for a common cause.
