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

It makes a lot of sense for businesses, especially where different countries might have different regulations. E.g., amazon.ca and amazon.in. Both sites are in English but it makes way more sense to split them up by country.

+1 for Halls of Torment

It's a really solid entry in the rogue-lite vampire-survivors-like genre that Diablo enjoyers could pick up really easily

What are you going to do with the other 900mb?

That's how you get the vibrant greens.

Maybe, maybe not. As equity holders get older they may be looking to cash out so they can fuel their retirements.

I don't think that's something Gabe is interested in, but we're talking about what will happen when he dies.

Never say never, but I don't think it's going to happen while Gabe is in charge

 
 

*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?
