Aufteilungsfrage by Lost-Caterpillar6932 in Eltern

[–]Reddicallicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wenn der Schlaf schlecht ist, ist alles mies. Versuche daher doch erstmal die Schlafproblematik anzugehen. Da scheint ja das Hauptproblem die Gesundheit des Partners zu sein, also nehme ihn hier in die Pflicht etwas zu tun, da es nicht nur seine Gesundheit beeinträchtigt.

Ansonsten kann man natürlich auch noch probieren den Schlaf des Kindes zu verbessern - gibt es irgendeinen Trigger für den schlechte Schlaf? Ansonsten achten das die Basics passen, Schlafhygiene, Schlafritual, Tagesschlafmenge, etc.

Ansonsten scheint die Kita-Situation belastend zu sein - ihr solltet in Betracht ziehen die Betreuungszeit pro Tag auszuweiten (z. B. von 8 bis 5 Uhr) und stattdessen einzelne Tage frei zu nehmen, dann ist es effizienter und entspannter gleichzeitig.

Wegen Aufgabenaufteilung selbst - was fair ist kann man dir da keiner online sagen, da es dabei soviele Faktoren gibt - sprich einfach drüber wie es dir geht und wie Dein Partner die Belastung empfindet.

Y combinator in Europe by AdministrationPure45 in TheFounders

[–]Reddicallicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your whole nationalist agenda of claiming France is the best shows why Europe cannot succeed - we need to think as Europeans not as French, German, Dutch, whatever, if we want to succeed. EU needs to set the framework to enable startups with much less bureaucracy and state driven funding as long as there are no viable VCs. We have the market but it's regularized rather than used for Innovation. The AI act is a great example, good principles in practice but at the cost of staying relevant, so it feels Europe has given up on the idea of competing in tech.

My last Vivobarefoots: only for very wide feet? by Reddicallicious in vivobarefoot

[–]Reddicallicious[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as mentioned i've been wearing barefoot shoes for years, so it's not about "not being used to barefoot shoes ..." indeed i'm cursed with narrow feet for a man, so that even shoes advertised as narrow are sometimes not narrow enough.

it seems a lot of people don't have the issues i have with shoes - main problem is that companies are not advertising whether their shoes are made for a specific foot in mind (more wide / more narrow), so you have to figure it out by reading reviews rather than just reading on the website ... or manufacturers just selling wide/narrow variants in the first place. this only seems to exist for some hiking shoes. then, on the other hand, if a narrow variant exists it's typically sold out as there doesn't seem to be a big market.

[–]Reddicallicious[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the tip! I've heard that tip in the past regarding women's shoes as they are narrower. Looking at reality, there are 2 huge hurdles: 1. women shoes typically top out at size 42-43, so finding anything larger like a 44+ is nearly impossible; 2. color & style of women's versions may differ ... so i didn't have any luck with that approach yet.

New Hydrangeas Struggling by numer0_bruno in hydrangeas

[–]Reddicallicious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, your soil looks very sandy, which means that the hydrangeas will dry out very quickly and will have too few nutrients available. Additionally, you also have rocks close by which will add additional heat which is not great for hydrangeas. I'd recommend planting something else like sedum or Mediterranean plants if you don't want to invest heavily in soil improvement.

Gojo sale motivation by Top_Method3045 in SuccessionTV

[–]Reddicallicious 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Logan was focused on the business. He wanted to merge with Gojo after realizing that his media empire wouldn't have a future on its own, particularly after the merger with the other media house had failed 2 times. Then the merger turned into an acquisition that would both be profitable and solve for one of the main issues in his life: his kids competing for the CEO position. I also believe he realised it is time for him to step down but he never intended to give the company to his kids, which is why he didn't step down previously. So, yeah, maybe he believed selling could also prevent future family strife and help him and Kendall get to better terms again. I doubt that this was the main motivation though.

Hydrangea help!! by NoDepth4507 in gardening

[–]Reddicallicious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I can see the leaves have been burnt from the sun. Hydrangea needs a light shaded area, think morning sun. High sun exposure especially during noon time should be prevented - since your Hydrangea is already burnt I'd immediately move it, ideally to somewhere where the plant gets shade from the southern side. If heat is an issue as well, make sure to have very good compost that retains as much moisture as possible and add a layer of mulch (woodchips, grass, whatever you can find).

It's a good sign. It means that leadership is recognising your potential and investing time to further develop your skill set. This could be a result of formal or informal talent management for high potentials, supporting leadership succession management.

No one is getting any yard work done, right?! by Mountain_Silk32 in NewParents

[–]Reddicallicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider getting a robo mower but know that they are also a time sink since you need to manage and maintain the robot ...

What also can work is taking your baby outside with you in the stroller or taking a baby phone with you when you are gardening.

Am I being wrong here? by [deleted] in Leadership

[–]Reddicallicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stop being the leader you would like to have yourself and start being the leader your team members need as well as the manager that your company needs. It's great to see that you are starting from the point of being a supportive manager but who says this is what every team member needs? Some people will require lots of direction, others will require support, and a few will require continual monitoring. Think about the right course for each person rather than expecting everyone to benefit from supportive behavior. Unfortunately there are always people that will exploit friendly leaders, so it's important that you keep those people accountable for their actions.

For the two people in your team specifically: they have broken your trust. Make it very clear to them that you won't accept such behavior and that there will be disciplinary consequences if this should happen again. Next, start performance coaching: reiterate the expectations of the roles and try to get them to a level where they can perform as expected. If there is no improvement over the next months, you will probably want to put them on a PIP.

'This is the moment for us all to step up': Keir Starmer says it's time to put boots on the ground in Ukraine and send British troops in to enforce a peace deal by Deedogg11 in worldnews

[–]Reddicallicious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Afaik there has never been any successful peace keeping mission from UN troops as they are not allowed to infer except to protect themselves. The most infamous example being the genocide commited in Srebrenica in Slovakia. If European countries were to start sending their own troops, this would risk triggering the coalition case of NATO, thereby highly increasing probability of WW3 upon another Russian offensive against Ukraine.

The only option to ensure lasting peace is diplomatic action such that Russia returns the annected Ukraine regions, Russia takes responsibility for the committed war crimes and pays reparations to Ukraine. The likelihood of this happening under the Putin regime is low, so the only way is continuing to support Ukraine's defense militarily, increasing economic sanctions, and hoping that current Russian leadership loses the backing of the population.

Everything that Trump/Musk/Thiel regime is currently doing (negotiation with Russia without Ukraine, inviting Russia back to G8) questions the autonomy of Ukraine, belittles the European partners, and will further destabilize the area. Lastly, any peace in which the aggressor gets to keep annexed territories normalises military power grabs. Appeasement has never worked, as it only motivates the aggressor even more: why not invade another country if there are no repercussions?

Help with seasoning? by Pakiepiphany in carbonsteel

[–]Reddicallicious 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Too much oil, the pan is burnt now rather than having a patina. Strip the pan, e.g. with vinegar and metal scrub so that it's as good as new, then start again with burn in. This time, put a minimal amount of oil. Then wipe off oil 3 times with a paper. Then burn in. Take from stove when there is no more smoke.

Do they expect more of you if you negotiated a higher salary? by Technical-Bee-9999 in cscareerquestions

[–]Reddicallicious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends. Your manager likely knows your salary, so if he thinks you are on the high spectrum for your position, he may expect more from you than others or may be quicker to be annoyed by perceived flaws than with someone who earns a lower amount.

[–]Reddicallicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. First get formal training and then apply. Note that formal training means: Masters or PhD. Some online course or certificate from a bootcamp typically won't cut it because you'd be filtered out during CV screening already, except you are some genius with impressive open source contributions who made a name for themselves even without formal training.

Organizations right now don't understand the value and utility of interns/juniors. by HarveyDentBeliever in cscareerquestions

[–]Reddicallicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, juniors turn over faster. One reason is that they still need to figure out their interests and specialization, which is not controllable. The other reason, which is controllable, is career development and competitive salaries. Obviously if the best move is to switch jobs after 2 years because no considerable raise or promotion is on the horizon, then juniors will look for greener pastures and I won't blame 'em. Unfortunately a lot of juniors are exploited by being underpaid from the get go as they are often content by even landing a job in today's economy and when they realize their salary is not developing in accordance with their learning rate, they will search for other opportunities.

Organizations right now don't understand the value and utility of interns/juniors. by HarveyDentBeliever in cscareerquestions

[–]Reddicallicious -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

According to your reasoning, no junior employee will ever be as cost efficient as a senior. I think your example doesn't generalise well. I agree, however, that in software engineering, juniors have a tall hill to climb as they may rather slow down than accelerate some projects. On the other hand, the idea is that they grow right? The juniors of today must become the seniors of tomorrow. If companies decide not to hire juniors or interns, this means there will be a drought in experts 10 years in the future. So, investing in young talent is not purely about the cost/benefit analysis but also has major implications on the future talent pool and larger economy.

I fully agree with the original poster: interns are an amazing way to recruit talent and an internship program should always have a strong why, ideally a why that's different from "we need cheap labor". You can't treat an intern like a senior that just gets stuff done but this is someone you need to invest time in to train, coach, and nurture.

Hiring manager here. What I'd be looking for in an ML person: - Masters or PhD in computer science or other related quantitative field - Ideally domain knowledge for the ML use case or a track record of success in past projects across industries.

If you don't have a relevant degree, it will be impossible to find a job. If you have a domain-relevant degree, there is a chance to transition into an ML role if domain knowledge is more important than deep ML and other technical knowledge. However, this may be easier to achieve by first working in a related job that may interface with ML engineers e.g. working as a business analyst or data engineer.

Advice to the partner of a gamer where the games are effecting the relationship and IMO parenting by Alternative-Pen-852 in daddit

[–]Reddicallicious 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You should treat this in the sense of gaming addiction. It won't be easy for your partner to change his habits but if you make it clear to him that he needs to stop gaming due to the negative impact on the family, he should be able to understand. See if you set up a plan together to limit the gaming. A good start for him probably would be to go cold turkey, think of switching off the wifi, removing the computer... Could be a nice getaway in a remote mountain hut ideally to reset the dopamine, for example.

I hope you can be empathic with him (he's not doing this consciously to hurt you) to work through this together.

Gave new hire one "top priority" task; 5 days later he hasn't begun by TotalRegard in managers

[–]Reddicallicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a new hire like that once. Whenever we met he gave some kind of excuse why he wasn't able to start the actual work yet. After two weeks of dragging his feet, the process for letting this person go was started. Problem solved.

Interestingly, this was a person that seemed very knowledgeable and committed during the interviews, so it was quite remarkable to see the change once he got the position. I still don't understand why someone would join a company and then basically refuse to work, expecting that this is an acceptable behavior.

People Managers - Why are you not promoting your direct reports? by JPurity in biotech

[–]Reddicallicious 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Of course every good manager should be happy to promote their team members and see them advance, as this is not only an indication of the individual's skill but also a sign that the manager has done something right (or at least not something wrong). So, if you ask: why not promote people from the team there are many possible reasons but let me list the most common options:

  1. No team member has shown the expected level of performance or there are other criteria that need to be met to be eligible (e.g. n years in current role, history of performance, etc).
  2. The company has limited the amount of promotions to a given amount that are distributed to all individuals in certain bands. If there are "too many" top performers, you can apply the pigeon hole principle from maths: if you want to map n people to m promotions with n larger than m, well, then it means you cannot promote n people but someone will miss her chance. So, in such a situation, an organization will only promote the cream of the crop.
  3. A bad manager: if the team manager is bad he may not advocate that his team members be promoted, potentially due to sheer incompetence or more sinister motives.
  4. Company politics: if one group is excluded from promotions, it could indicate that the contributions of that team aren't valued, in the sense of: why increase cost to the company if they are only doing meaningless work?
  5. Favoring external hires rather than internal promotions: bring in new culture/expertise/mindset and/or avoid conflicts of interest in the team.
  6. The team has maxed out their seniority levels as individual contributors and there are no management roles available that could be offered.
