I experienced the disconnect between the torture I was comfortable with and the torture that drove me away during my first year in college. As I've mentioned here a few times, most recently in my post on Niklaus Wirth, from an early age I had wanted to become an architect (the kind who design houses and other buildings, not software). I spent years reading about architecture and learning about the profession. I even took two drafting courses in high school, including one in which we designed a house and did a full set of plans, with cross-sections of walls and eaves.
Then I got to college and found two things. One, I still liked architecture in the same way as I always had. Two, I most assuredly did not enjoy the kind of grunt work that architecture students had to do, nor did I relish the torture that came with not seeing a path to a solution for a thorny design problem.
That was so different from the feeling I had writing BASIC programs. I would gladly bang my head on the wall for hours to get the tiniest detail just the way I wanted it, either in the code or in the output. When the torture ended, the resulting program made all the pain worth it. Then I'd tackle a new problem, and it started again.
Recently, I became aware that Exim has a relatively aggressive list of message headers to sign with DKIM, and as a result we somewhat reduced the list of headers to sign in our environment. As it happens, Exim has several options for how it signs headers, which are briefly covered in the documentation for the dkim_sign_headers setting in (DKIM) Signing outgoing messages. The effects of these options aren't really clear until we understand the various meanings of DKIM signing message headers.
Work software isn’t really about work anymore -
It’s all about organizing how you’re planning to complete tasks, instead.
Laut Verordnung gelten Berufe als Mangelberuf, sobald auf eine unbesetzte Stelle weniger als 1,5-mal so viele Arbeitssuchende kommen. Ein einziger Faktor bestimmt, wo Mangel am Arbeitsmarkt herrscht und wo nicht. Landet ein Beruf einmal auf der Liste, dürfen Unternehmen Arbeitskräfte außerhalb der EU rekrutieren.
Was passiert, wenn Berufe für Menschen aus EU-Drittstaaten geöffnet werden? Der Pool an potenziellen Arbeitskräften wächst schlagartig für Unternehmen. Das vergrößerte Angebot wiederum befreit Unternehmen vom Druck, ihre angebotenen Stellen zu verbessern. Es findet sich schon wer der’s macht. Weil im Herkunftsland die Arbeitsbedingungen noch schlechter sind.
At law firm Nixon Peabody LLP, associates have started saying no to working weekends, prompting partners to ask more people to help complete time-sensitive work.
“The passion that we used to see in work is lower now, and you find it in fewer people—at least in the last two years,” says Sumithra Jagannath, president of ZED Digital, which makes digital ticket scanners.
Of course, it already has. Layoffs are contagious across industries and within industries. The logic driving this, which doesn’t sound like very sensible logic because it’s not, is people say, “Everybody else is doing it, why aren’t we?”
Retailers are pre-emptively laying off staff, even as final demand remains uncertain. Apparently, many organizations will trade off a worse customer experience for reduced staffing costs, not taking into account the well-established finding that is typically much more expensive to attract new customers than it is to keep existing ones happy.

In vielen österreichischen Unternehmen undenkbar. Da zieht noch immer der geistige Mief der 1970er Jahre durch die neu eingerichteten Großraumbüros mit den vorgeschriebenen 2 m²/MA: "wer nicht kontrolliert wird, arbeitet nicht".

someone casually mentioned that there is an undocumented URL command "?OpenField".
What this URL command does, is return the HTML rendering of a specified Rich Text Field, with no head, no body tag etc.
