Leonidas Aretakis och Andreas Gustavsson är chefredaktörer på Flamman respektive ETC.

Hotet var otrevligt och obehagligt men uppenabrt inget som nånsin skulle förverkligas.

Hybrid working from home improves retention without damaging performance
Abstract:
Working from home has become standard for employees with a university degree. The most common scheme, which has been adopted by around 100 million employees in Europe and North America, is a hybrid schedule, in which individuals spend a mix of days at home and at work each week1,2. However, the effects of hybrid working on employees and firms have been debated, and some executives argue that it damages productivity, innovation and career development3,4,5. Here we ran a six-month randomized control trial investigating the effects of hybrid working from home on 1,612 employees in a Chinese technology company in 2021–2022. We found that hybrid working improved job satisfaction and reduced quit rates by one-third. The reduction in quit rates was significant for non-managers, female employees and those with long commutes. Null equivalence tests showed that hybrid working did not affect performance grades over the next two years of reviews. We found no evidence for a difference in promotions over the next two years overall, or for any major employee subgroup. Finally, null equivalence tests showed that hybrid working had no effect on the lines of code written by computer-engineer employees. We also found that the 395 managers in the experiment revised their surveyed views about the effect of hybrid working on productivity, from a perceived negative effect (−2.6% on average) before the experiment to a perceived positive one (+1.0%) after the experiment. These results indicate that a hybrid schedule with two days a week working from home does not damage performance.

I feel as if full remote with a day in the office every couple of weeks for teambildung is fine as long as it's voluntarily.
I much prefer retrospectives and post mortems of projects in person, too. Still no reason to force people to come in as long as the work gets done

My office used to be fully remote during the pandemic and changed how our entire company did business. Once commercial real estate started complaining in the newspaper about their values going down, my company did a full 180 and required everyone back 2 days a week. A year went by and no one really wanted to go back in so they INCREASED the days were required in the office to 3 days.
December 24 is scheduled for a new announcement and most people at my work expect to be told then that the requirement will be brought to 4-5 days per week.
We went from being promised by senior management that we are remote by design to “hybrid” at 4 mandatory in office days per week. 5 for management.
hybrid working from home ..

You gotta pick a lane, companies.
Stop cramming activism into everything and we won't hate the garbage you keep making.
John Wick was an awesome series of movies.
Damsel was horrible.
One of those IPs was a good story about a guy fighting against a lot of powerful stuff, the other was constant virtue signaling straight out of the lifetime network from 15 years ago "men are bad and will hurt you"
John Wick was an awesome series of movies.
They'd burned through the premise badly inside the first two films. And that's before you read it as Equilibrium with the serial numbers filled off.
Which is a shame. All that money on effects and direction and talent. Nobody thought to hire a screenwriter worth a shit to make any of the theatrics meaningful.
Must be a cowardly existence to be made to feel ideologically fragile by just watching a movie lol
That might mean your belief system doesn't hold up to any scrutiny whatsoever but hey, maybe it's the one time in history that someone was offended by questions about their beliefs for a reason other than they're a trash fire.
Must be a cowardly existence to be made to feel ideologically fragile by just watching a movie lol
Is that some kind of projection?
Sorry, all I heard there was “WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!”
Good to know you're incapable of understanding the substance of what people say.
"Original" as in it has original ideas, or "original" as in it's not part of an established franchise? If it's the latter, I saw The Wild Robot in theaters. It was okay. A bit by-the-numbers, and I'm not sure everything made total sense, but it's a kid's movie so that was to be expected.
If the former, then, uh... Problemista? Also in theaters. I really liked that one.
Watched it again last night, but Legend of Hei. Chinese animated film I have on Blu-ray/DVD through Shout! Factory. Love the Chinese dub because I personally don't like how they use an English translation for a few different characters names. Watched on my Blu-ray player and must say, it's probably my tv, but I cannot really see is big difference between DVD and Blu-ray. Last movie I watched, let alone original movie.
May be based on an animated web series, but I still consider it original.
"I saw the TV glow" is the name of the movie, strange film, used a lot of terror film language but never got there, like it tried to be scary but not really just tension. I like it mainly for how strange it was, in a positive way. (Forgot to mention that I also watched Megapolis, that was also really strange but in a bore way)
Kinds of Kindness probably my favorite because is the Yargos I was missing in Poor Thighs and The Favorite.
I'm not into kids animation, so The Wild Robot, is my least favorite of them, but was entertaining.
Fallen Leaves was a cute film, not a lot of things happening, with a slow rhythm, typical European film festival movie if you're into that.
The Substance, is fantastic, really reccomend it, even if you don't enjoy body horror, is not that bad that you couldn't watch. I think people are trying to see way over the message of the movie because it just too obvious, and some people need a deeper message.
The last movie I saw in theaters was Interstellar... just pulled up the release date, and holy shit, it's been a solid decade.
...not really feeling the urge to change that either. All I remember theaters being is a sticky fucking mess where a bag of skittles and a drink will cost you like 5% of your net worth; from there you pack into these disgusting seats, invariably right behind some 6'11" 400lb dude in a fucking cowboy hat and, surrounded on all sides by people who have never heard of the concept of shutting the fuck up for 90 mins...
I mean, make fun of me if you want, but I saw The Beekeeper in theaters. Maybe not super original but it wasn't explicitly marketed as a remake or rehash or whatever.
No, I didn't have a free ticket or voucher or anything, I paid full price for the ticket.
Yes, I snuck in alcohol (they don't serve).
As a popcorn flick, I enjoyed my 1.5 hours or whatever.
Yes, I paid a stupid amount of money for popcorn, it's a local theater not tied to any mega corps.
I didn't watch Beekeeper in a theatre it because I didn't know if it was gonna be just a cheap cash grab.
I watched it via a paid service and enjoyed it very much with my wife in the home theatre I built.
The last movie I watched in cinema was deadpool & wolverine. Before that was Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.
And that's all, I don't watch movies in cinema. Mostly because closest cinema for me is 103km away.
Normally just watch pre 2010 movies.
Fifth Element. With my eyes.
Not the NEWEST original movie I've watched, though. I'm not sure which one that is but I'm confident that I used my eyes for that as well.
False. Star Wars viewing drove off a cliff when their sequels sucked.
There is a 1-2 sequel movies buffer until the drop off starts when the quality is consistently bad.
the thing is, most people don't. Movie buffs are a minority, the casual viewers flock to what they know, which is exactly why there are only sequels and reboots. It wouldn't be like that if it wasn't making them tons of money.False. Star Wars viewing drove off a cliff when their sequels sucked.

That doesn’t make anything they said false. What you said just means that quality still matters, eventually.
I try not to sub to streaming services with an ad+sub tier like cable TV which narrows options over the past few years but also helps me avoid some of that stuff.
Criterion collection/channel is usually good for Indies and some lesser known quality films.
And physical media but that's mostly just for stuff I already know I like and would watch multiple times or for the commentary track because of how expensive that can get.
Theaters I'll go to for epic movies in IMAX or sometimes new horror movies or the occasional rifftrax thing they do where they broadcast live from a theater to a bunch of other theaters.
Wolfs, on the appropriate streaming service.
Also watched the Tom Hanks 2021 movie, Finch.
Banshees of Inishirin.
Story of a friendship going sour and one guy having trouble moving on. Some great acting. A dark comedy.
Quite refreshing from the Hollywood schlock that is typically in our local thestre
Twisters
Unless we're counting documentaries, but seeing a documentary of events in the 1960's in theaters probably doesn't count as "original" anyways
Patsy, it's been three days!!!

in reply to someguy3 • • •Well, they're similar in the widest sense, that they're both strategy games, you have to produce resources and fight battles to capture land.
But within the strategy genre, they're actually pretty different. Civilization is turn-based, Widelands/Settlers is real-time strategy. I guess, the latter is at least still relatively slow-paced.
Widelands/Settlers puts a lot more focus on managing supply chains. To produce bread, you'll need a baker, which needs flour and water, and possibly coal, so you need a mill and a farm and a well and a coal mine, and then you need people to actually carry the resources between the buildings, and yeah, it starts to become pretty busy pretty quickly.
If you ask fans of these games, that's kind of what they love the most, that your settlement starts to look like an anthill buzzing with activity in no time.

Anyway, a TLDR for those that have no idea of what to expect: The Settlers 2 is a lot more about logistics and planning use of space than anything else. It needs very little input most of the time, it's a very slow paced game.
The main things to keep in mind is available space, roads and resources. The game is separated in hex-ish tiles. Depending on how much free space there is, you can build a basic, medium or large building. As a rule of thumb, basic buildings require no resources to function (one exception being mines, which need food); medium buildings receive either 1 or 2 resources and deliver the worked result; large buildings are usually farms or a fortress.

So, imagine Age of Empires 1, but if you had to connect every building with a road network, with every worker and every resource traveling through it, one at a time. Once you set up something to be built, you'll see a worker walking his way there, as well as resources being carried towards it. The busiest roads can receive a donkey that will also haul resources between the connected flags - you cannot manually upgrade roads, even if you have a surplus of donkeys.
Unlike AoE or pretty much every RTS, you don't train units at all. You need a minimal military to garrison military buildings, which will increase your borders. Once any of these is fully built, a number of soldiers will come out of HQ and move to occupy it. HOWEVER, if you are attacked, only the soldiers within that building will protect it. You don't participate in combat at all. The soldiers just line up and fight. When a military building is occupied by the enemy, it and everything that was within the lost border is destroyed.
