I often manually switch to the built-in mic of my MBP [edit: while using Airpods for audio output]. To switch more quickly, I found that when you alt-click on "Sound" while in the Control Center, you can select audio devices for input and output independently of each other.
They do in my town. You have to smack it repeatedly until a white "warte" or "signal kommt" lights up on the signal at the other side of the road, or else it never will change.
They also don't vibrate or give any auditory signal (except when the actual green walk signal comes)... I'm not sure how a blind person could use it because their sensitivity is so low that you have to keep touching, pressing, smacking the touch surface until it registers you and updates the (purely visual) signal on the other side. I ended up just crossing illegally at one crosswalk because the damn thing just wouldn't work.
It's specifically the ones with three dots in a circle that are only there for the visually impaired. Some vibrate, some have a spinning thing on the bottom.
If they don't have the three dots in the circle they usually do control the lights. Newer models also show a red light on the side of the button when pressed, similar to the UK lights just more subtle. But there are also plenty of old buttons around that don't.
Whoa, I had no idea this was one of the main purposes of them. From the other comments, it seems that some need to be pushed to change the lights, however, I'm glad to know that some are just for accessibility. Now I'm also not sure which is which :-D
> You do need to explicitly specify the other branch when merging or rebasing or making a pull request (like git rebase main), because git doesn’t know what branch you think your offshoot is based on.
I think a big issue with the presented intuition is that it's limited to wanting to merge the base/trunk/main branch into your feature branch. However, sometimes you want to merge a feature branch into another feature branch. With this in mind, you can form a better intuition, imo, where it's absolutely clear that you have to specify what branch you want to merge into another one.
It seems to me like this is only happening to articles from bigger publications. Perhaps because these publications have Medium monetization options turned on and this paywall is suddenly applied to all monetized publications as a "new feature"? Terrible, really.
There is an excellent TED talk on the relationship between self-worth and procrastination that also, like you, makes a point about separating "me and my work" [1].
Watching this about a year ago was eye opening to me and I wished I'd found this video when I started studying in college!
Well, I have a problem here, because other than work there's not much going on in my life. No wife or kids, no fancy hobbies... I guess I really need to get more social :)
This was a big issue for me in my early 20s. I did a lot of work to ensure that my life outside of work was as interesting to me as my work life. If you don't have that balance, it is really hard to disconnect your work from your self-worth.
Something related I came to know only recently is that it has been shown to be more effective to floss before brushing teeth. I have been doing it the other way around my entire life.
