Would be fascinating to see the raw calculated narcissism scores for said 500 CEO, illuminating I'm sure.

Visiting China recently I was surprised by how often your ID needs to be presented. Inter city train travel, tourist attractions, etc all require your ID (or Passport for foreigners). Camera surveillance maybe ubiquitous now, but the ID checks everywhere are a level beyond that.

Given the generally poor standard of government software in Singapore (from the perspective of an unfortunate user), this site probably has not had a large local readership despite it’s intentions.

I'm a Kiwi, but living abroad now. I have mixed views on this announcement, I do agree with the basic sentiment that NZ is broke and has been for a long time. That means 'decisions' on public spending need to be in the national interest, for the current govt, that translates into 'fiscal interest'. That said, cutting "all" govt funding to social sciences is not the right call. I would have though that a smaller budget and stricter set of criteria for funding would have been a better approach. NZ has always had a 'fringe element' looking for funding for dubious research of limited value, but de-funding everything that is not of economic value feels like the wrong approach.

Hard to make a full comparison when go_transmuxer function is not defined in the source anywhere. Also might be more interesting if native I/O for RUST (safe, not unsafe wrapped) functions were compared.

> the same for 25 years. He has a 4 years old desktop mac and the webpage takes more than 20s to load

How long did it take to load 20 years ago, on a 20 year old PC/Mac ? - seems like a very big page?

I think this is a story of the rise of TypeScript than the demise of JavaScript.

Talk to the new director with your team (ask for a meeting. You need clarity from him on a) his expectations on what the teams needs to be considered performing - his expectation of good. b) clarity on goals for next period (6-12 months) c) how he likes to work, his processes and preferences for the working relations ship. i.e email vs messaging, meetings to explore a topic vs written proposals and then a discussion.

Clarity on some of these topics will help you navigate the uncertainly - ask questions, open ended, ask for examples of how specific things work with the current team), listen more, talk less. Basically show that your team wants to work constructively with them.
