Many people have had the same experience over the past year. There's three things that are usually suggested which might help you, that you've touched upon.
First, you should have a dedicated work space. A room is preferable, but you can make do by erecting sight barriers to your desk for example. The main idea is to make it easy to leave your work 'at work' and not be reminded of it in your free time.
Second, clothing. If you feel your day lacks structure make sure you're not lounging about in a tracksuit all day. Put on clothes you would wear to the office before work, and take them off at the end of your day. Wear shoes.
Third, take a walk before starting work and afterwards. A 20 minute walk will allow you to plan the day ahead and get in work mode, and will let you unpack the day and unwind after work. Ignore the rain.
So basically, make going to work a ritual (as foolish or unlikely to work as it may sound). You should also minimise distractions and control impulses to do non-work related things while 'at work'. If you can, consider getting out of the house for lunch or eat at your desk and not at the dinner table. Lastly, take part or try to instigate remote water cooler chats with colleagues to keep sane.
Good tips. I'm lucky enough to have a great room available for an office.
I curtained the doorway off, to remind the rest of the family (and myself) that when it is closed, I'm at work. Put a standing desk in, to help maintain my health.
I still shower and show up 'at work' around the same times I did before. At first I was there around the same time I'd leave for work, but I found I was not able to concentrate productively for 12-13 hours a day, so I've cut it closer to an 8-6 schedule, with some breaks to eat with family or drop kids off where they may need to go.
Take advantage of the greater flexibility- take the good with the bad. Was listening to Phish on the surround sound speakers connected to my receiver via bluetooth to my Mac Mini the other day, while working on my desktop I'd brought home attached to a nice big bright 4k monitor that I have at home, and connected via SD-WAN to the corporate network. Was a pretty productive and glorious way to get a lot of work done.
First of all I should think copyright only restricts publishing, not reading. Obviously if you put a price on your book I have to pay it, but that's a different issue.
Secondly the Internet is best viewed as a public noticeboard purely because of the way the protocol works. There's just no getting around that. I think you'd agree that putting up a notice on a street corner and then getting offended when people read it would be viewed as rather odd, if not something else.
Yeah, same. I find keeping my fingers on the home keys makes me twist my wrists outwards, which gets uncomfortable pretty fast. I mostly try to minimise wrist action in general.
I've actually had a Planck EZ for a few weeks now and I agree it's probably not very ergonomic for the classic qwerty touch typist, or at least not much better than a normal keyboard barring the programmability.
But since I don't do that anyway I find the keyboard to be pretty nice in terms of customisability and avoiding stretching.
In general I feel my hands are used most naturally in close proximity to each other (at roughly abdomen height) so I'm drawn to small keyboards with lots of modifier keys. A spherical keyboard would be pretty interesting to try out.
Octopuses have been around for 300 million years, I think they've got survival and reproduction covered at this point. I would be careful of conflating shared culture with intelligence, especially in this context given octopuses are mainly solitary.
> I'm usually surprised with all the comparisons to REST.
I'd say that's because you should mentally substitute RPC whenever you see REST. Basically everyone talking about REST APIs mean RPC over HTTP with nouns in the endpoints.
The belief these days is that when someone does something wrong everyone must shun them and not do business with them. Her website didn't have to use Google services as there are many alternatives.
You aren't limited to a single database though, so you could stream your main database to a public facing one with a more stable structure.
But you'd have to handle changes through another API, or at least route them differently, and then worry about consistency so probably not ideal for all business cases.
We’ve added event triggers to Hasura to kind of support this pattern via Hasura itself. So you can create “action” tables that basically have a log of request data (a mutation inserts an action). Hasura will then call an event handler which can run with the action data, user session information, related data in case there are any relationships etc. This handler can then go update the tables that can be queried from.
Ofcourse, if the eventing system is in-order / exactly once quite a few use-cases become feasible ;)
In my view libraries are simply evolving with the times, but perhaps I'm not yet quite so old after all. I like the idea that there's a public space for soldering, 3D printing, sowing, or just being.
I wouldn't really make sweeping generalisations on the state of Finnish libraries based on one modern example intended to be different. Besides, if we're going to have yet another library in the centre of Helsinki, why not make it different?
If you need to study the university library is just around the corner. Or the library of the national archives if you prefer a tomb-like silence. Or the one on Rikhardinkatu for the more classic milieu. Choice is good.
In the past few years I've been to public libraries in Espoo, Helsinki and Vantaa. They all have the same modern vibe as Oodi (although less glamorous buildings maybe).

Thanks for these recommendations, I have to check them out. The only problem is that to go to a university library is that they are mostly (afaik) in the city center. Kind of a trek for someone from neighbouring counties.
