I was taught about it in high school history 15 years ago in a deep red state. I had to Google it to remember any details about it though. It was definitely taught as a complete failure that made the Great Depression worse and started a trade war.

They upload a ton to YouTube, but it's mostly on their shorts channel. I'm sure they upload to TikTok and stuff also.

I'm an exmo. Gender and sex is doctrinally binary, I always wondered how intersex children would be treated. Thanks for sharing. There were lots of things that made me leave, but I always disagreed with the church's stance on LGBTQI+ issues.

You've convinced me a little bit. Some of those flags do look good. Definitely not every flag though.

I have small hands and my kids use it without complaining. It's bigger than a Switch, but not too much bigger. I've traveled with it plenty.

This isn't surprising to me. I know that this might not be strictly relevant to this community, but I thought I'd share anyway.

I live in a conservative state that has restricted a lot of women's health services(abortions). We had a really great family doctor, she was my wife's OB, she was my kids pediatrician, she even delivered my youngest. She moved to New Zealand over a year ago and we are still upset over it.

We have multiple friends and acquaintances that had to go to a neighboring state for a "procedure" because hospitals in my state refuse to do anything that medically is related to abortions. One friend had a miscarriage and needed a procedure to remove remaining tissue in her uterus and she had to go to another state, even though there wasn't an embryo in there anymore.

It's nuts. I'd love to get out of here, but we have young kids and all of our family is local.

Do you subscribe to A24 Zines? I just googled it.

As an American that lived in Canada for a few years.

Yes. I mean, first of all it was over 200 years ago. And Americans aren't generally great with history. Second, we don't really think about it as Canadians. I was at least taught it was British troops, which is accurate, but I never really made the connection that it was really Canadians until I lived in Canada and a Canadian made the claim.

Interesting question... After a small amount of research.

The FDA in the US and the INS globally. The number is just a sequential identifier, i.e., red #3 was approved before red #5.

Psychonauts 2. I picked it up for 80% off during the autumn Steam sale and just getting around to playing it.

I also picked up It Takes Two and have been playing that with my wife.

My Pixel 8a has this built in, the setting is called Charging Optimization, and will limit the charge to 80%.

Use it for tasks you tend to put off and don't use it for tasks you tend to hyperfocus.

Right now I mostly use it for boring time-consuming chores, otherwise I don't bother.

I will hyperfocus when I am coding at work, so I never use it then

 
 

*or other media; video, article, etc.

The Phoenix Project (and The Unicorn Project) by Gene Kim really opened my eyes up as an engineer and made me feel like I could start fixing the problems I was seeing on my team, on my project, and in my organization.

I started reading The Manager's Path by Camille Fournier and have really appreciated how straightforward and relevant it is.

Help me fill my Amazon cart!

IMHO, it's a horrible hack that is just broken. It's obscure and we need to rewrite it because it has a bad structure. ^X^Cquit^[ESC][ESC]^C

Is that term even used anymore? Feels like it was everywhere a couple years ago.

What software and tools do you use? (self.engineering_managers)
submitted 2 years ago by jeff to c/engineering_managers
 

My company started using Lattice software for tracking 1 on 1s, reviews, etc. I don't really love it, but it's nice to have something that the entire company is standardizing with.

I've been using Obsidian for my personal notes before I became a manager.

And I use the M$ Suite as needed with SharePoint.

Any other tools, software, processes, that you use for the people management side?
