Why would you expect it to affect productivity when you were working the same number of hours?
It’s just slightly increased flexibility under the guise of a 4 day week.

Guessing you might have been being rhetorical but I’ll give my take anyway… The stabbings were just the spark that ignighted it all.
They do not have a common goal but they are united in thinking immigration levels are too high, despite it being a net benefit to the country. From what I’ve seen they generally fall into 3 groups:
EDL/BNP/facists/racists who have been whipping up anti-immigration rhetoric forever. Emboldened by extreme language used by Farage, successive Conservative governments and no doubt rhetoric from the convicted felon across the pond. They blamed the stabbings (and every problem ever) on immigrants despite the fact it was carried out by an autistic kid born in this country.
Brexit/Reform voters who see themselves as “more centrist” because they aren’t as far-right as #1. They blame years of austerity, worstening living conditions and growing class divide on the idea “the country is full”. They thought Brexit was supposed to solve this and are now protesting because it hasn’t. They claim it wasn’t done properly so voted Reform but got a more centrist government instead. They want to make their dissatisfaction heard but as far as I know do not condone the violence. They might now know the stabbings were not linked to migration but the issue has escalated beyond that incident now.
Young people who are generally not very well informed on any of the issues and have been fed misinformation on their various social media channels encouraging them to join the protests. It’s the holidays, they are impressionable and angry. They think they’re part of some revolutionary movement or just drunk and up for some chaos so are out with their mates filming it all in their phones for the views. I imagine as they become more informed they will align with #1 or #2.
Ok fair enough, just thought it was strangely straight for an “I’m ok folks” wave.
Anyone notice the salute Trump gave mere seconds after the shooting?
He swiftly turned it into a wave/fist and weirdly brought up that it was definitely a fist during his last speech.
Good to see the left/centre rallying when it mattered most need to reject fascism again.
From an outside perspective this seemed like quite a shrewd political move by Macron for once. Is that a fair assessment?
I was going to say “Planet Earth” but yes you are correct.
The scientific method itself considers any as yet unsubstantiated theory as hypothesis. Applying this to the idea of God would leave one agnostic on the issue.
A couple of prominent examples of religious dogmas disproved by scientific discoveries are the Copernican Revolution and evolution by means of natural selection.
So they’ve failed at pushing full return to office and now they’re commissioning unscientific studies to try to make hybrid seem necessary?
These results really can’t be applied to all jobs. Some jobs obviously require in-person but many white collar jobs can be done entirely remotely saving workers time, money and freeing up infrastructure for those that need/want to go in. Not to mention other benefits to mental health and reduction of emissions involved in commuting.
Completely agree, requirements are key and often badly defined due to the customers’ lack of knowledge of the intricacies of the system. You are correct to ask for clarity or it could come back to bite you later on.
I’ve just had a spec through from a BA which consists entirely of screenshots of an existing system with no technical definitition of any of the requested fields so relate to this right now.
We are just recovering from a similar situation here but the Overton window has shifted so far the supposed left-wing workers’ party now look like centre-right conservatives.
Right on cue, the descent into fascism begins ahead of the impending climate disasters.
It’s so depressing to see France like this, I always held it up as a prominent antifa nation.
Not substantially, it had a different title and was toned down.
I withdraw the word essay and apologise for any rudeness.
Have a good one.
My original message was “Wow ok chill.” then elaborated to clarify.
Where I’m from people are way ruder than anything I said here so perhaps I misjudged the room. However, calling it out seems to have had the desired response as since posting OP went and apologised for his anger.
I in turn apologise for my rudeness to them.
Cavity protection ain’t gonna cut it where they’re going.
Did you read it before the edits? If it’s written like that I think I’m entitled to exaggerate back slightly to make a point by calling it a rage essay.
Anywho I wouldn’t choose to rant like this to my coworkers or online. A quick 🤦 in chat usually does the trick.
Completely put to task, yep really got me there. I will never see the world in the same way again.
Also, I don’t think you understand what irony means.
You too.
Wow ok chill.
The title of this post was “I hate programming, why did I choose this field”.
I responded suggesting maybe OP isn’t suited to SQL in particular. There are plenty of other languages to learn that they might pick up quicker if they are struggling with SELECTs.
It’s partially right but led OP down the wrong lines of thinking because it interpreted the prompt as a date field being missing rather than the field named date being missing.
Tbh I don’t blame it too much here as there is kind of a base level of understanding requred to use it successfully.
Ah yes here you are successfully ignoring it.
Might not be encouraging it but you seem to be defending it.
Whilst it’s true solar is growing, it is not likely to be the silver bullet you make out.
Another way to look at the source you linked is that despite the ongoing climate catastrophe the US is still planning to add 4% more fossil fuel sources to their grid next year.
It also leaves out the fact that 84% of the current US power is generated by fossil fuels and that figure is not being reduced.
The source is also very US-centric. If we take the IEA’s projections, only 25% of the world’s new energy will be from renewable sources in 2024.
Then there’s the weird choice of counting battery storage as energy generation. At the end of 2022 half of the battery storage was being powered by fossil fuels so should probably be left out of any statistics.
We need people to understand the true scale of the problem rather than generating more hopium. The energy companies have teams of people for that.
