Nice, good luck with your fight, remote work is the future

What's the name of your employer again?

Seriously, those are really good conditions, I'm glad you are aware of that.

Is that really a thing? I've seen it in a few job offers but I have trouble understanding how it works...

As I understand it you can take as many days as you want and it works on the company's trust, but that system sounds really toxic to me, isn't it?

Edit: I'm European with almost 7 weeks off a year for context

I heard a story about a therapist that used RPGs as a tool to diagnose patients. They held group sessions with several patients and then had a private session with each of them to debrief.

I'm convinced a lot of things can reflect on the way people play and make up their character.

I think so, but my optics courses date back to a long time ago...

It will look really nice on stickers!

That's nice!

Nitpick: The shrank reflection looks strange, I think it would be the same size as the original duck in real life

Depends on which articulation, but I'd say at most 6

Second that, same plan for 2 years and very happy with it. I only host a VPN though

I tend to disagree.

Even with same weight/same tires/same everything, different teams will use different algorithms to control the car and to take decisions. There are a thousand ways to make a car follow an "optimal" path and I doubt everyone will use the same, and even if they do every team will have their own implementation which will lead to small differences.

Adding to that all the uncertainties brought by measurements of the outside world (correctly estimating where are the car and the other cars) and the possible interference between the different car's sensors (if they run all at once like in real F1), we would certainly have surprises. Controlling a real car is not the same as controlling an AI in a video game, a lot of mistakes can be done.

A Raspberry Pi with a touchscreen should be enough, I can't think of a cheaper alternative
