I've pretty consistently seen the 1st level of management able to understand when you worked hard, and that it is not repeatable. Those problems tend to appear only when they report up what is happening.

What is to say that often (not always), you can be honest with your manager if both of you can keep a secret.

There's the booty call, a random "snake! snake!", the "somebody hold me! I'll kill this guy!"... And the more social ones have quite a lot more.

A progress bar isn't generally hard.

What is hard is making it move smoothly while still only incrementing and getting the correct time. But I don't think there's a single person that still cares about smoothness except for the very extreme cases. By now, everybody has learned they don't work that way.

Anyway, about those extreme cases, just avoid filling the bar up to 99% on the first 10 seconds and leaving it there for the next 2 hours. Just do that and you'll be already better than Microsoft, so nobody will complain.

Yep, "insane amounts" of power like you what you get by investing something like 1% of a few countries' GDP in PV panels.

Capturing all the extra carbon from the atmosphere is not as expensive as it sounds like. It can easily be done by a few rich countries in very few decades once we stop adding more there every day.

Recycling nuclear waste is one of those problems that should be easy but nobody knows what the easy way looks like. It's impossible to tell if some breakthrough will make it viable tomorrow or if people will have to work for 200 years to get to it. But yeah, currently it's best described as "impossible".

Energy density is a useless bullshit metric for stationary power.

Produces more waste than almost all of the renewables.

Reliable compared to... ... ... ok, I'm out of ideas, they need shutdowns all the time. Seems to me it's less reliable than anything that isn't considered "experimental".

And it can't work with renewables unless you add lots and lots of batteries. Any amount of renewables you build just makes nuclear more expensive.

They are an interesting technology, and I'm sure they have more uses than making nuclear weapons. It's just that everybody focus on that one use, and whatever other uses they have, mainstream grid-electricity generation is not it.

If it's AWS fault, it's also their fault for choosing AWS.

IMO, Severance is even weirder.

On Fallout they can at least say to themselves that they wouldn't nuke their city to get more power. But Severance is about exactly the kind of stuff that they do.

Is it missing an apostrophe and a dash? Or they registered the wrong name?

Anyway, the use of quotes seem to have backfired. I blame Excel.

I have the second one, it takes about 2 minutes to make a cup of espresso, most of the time unattended, I've had it for 15 years, and yeah, it took some time to learn how to use at first.

I also use Debian, not Gentoo...

Did she look under the battery?

I'm not sure I'd even trust a fully local open source one.

The issues about trusting hardware and software development tools all lead to problems here.
