„Google has stopped supporting the rel=next/prev markup it launched back in 2011. The interesting part is, Google has not supported it for the past few years and didn’t tell anyone!”
Google hasn’t supported rel=next/prev for a while (thanks for telling us)
Imagine companies putting effort into implementing rel=next/prev, and Google ignoring this for years.
They apologized for this behavior (Google apologizes for rel=next/prev mixup), but, still, it’s not a pleasant thing to do.
„Ia seama, dar, de vreme ce ai venit la doctor, să nu te întorci nevindecat” / „But, since you came to the doctor, do not return unhealed!” (via »)
Sometimes, I’m put in a position to answer to others’ questions.
And the optimal thing to do is pay attention, give a good reply, focus on being useful.
That’s the decent thing to do.
But, sometimes, I reply in a hurry and give an answer that could be further improved.
Most people do this at some point, to a greater or lesser extent.
Still, it’s a thing to be avoided.
Are you the doctor? Then act like one!
Some NGOs allow signing up, mostly in the autumn.
Why not sign up for NGOs in the fall only?
Because you should admit people all year round.
If I would like to start helping in April, I should be able to do so.
Of course, there is some training that needs to take place – for that you could allow people joining in April, and doing the training when there’s a larger group.
Or you could make some videos for online training.
I’m all in favor of allowing signing up all year round.
On the sale of used products – some people do not understand that the sale price is actually determined by the price at which you find a Black Friday (or other discount time) product.
If I sell a laptop for 1,500 lei, it matters what I can buy for that Black Friday (or other price cut time frame) money.
And the new product also has a warranty, has never been used, and is clearly more valuable than a second-hand product.
I don’t mind buying used products, it’s just that some people compare an old product with the price of a regular new product.
But I don’t want to buy at a top price, I’ll wait for a discount period.
There are some ergonomic keyboards that can be split into two separate pieces, breaking the keyboard into two.
The advantage is that you can place it as you want.
The disadvantage is that you always have to worry about where you last placed the two pieces.
I prefer having a „classic”, unbroken one because it forces me to arrange the keys properly.
Sometimes, you might try in vain to change the person’s perspective.
I know people who, when you get their attention on something, start with „No,” and continue with a logic that cancels everything you said.
What to change if the message does not enter their point of view?
The solution? Instead of trying to change a person’s perspective, try to focus mostly on getting the message sent.
Listen carefully to what the person says and try to see if there are flaws in their logic that you can point out.
If X says something, and you cross your arms and start with „No, you’re wrong”, the chances of success are small.
Sometimes, in the news, you read news of things that are about to happen – „X will happen in the following timeframe”.
In my opinion, you should read the news that is certain, not legal promises.
Try not to read about what tanks Russia has currently has. Postpone this a bit, and read about tanks after the invasion, not before.
Sometimes, it’s useful to know what will happen beforehand – an invasion in Ukraine will affect you in various ways. A law that will pass will impact you, possibly quite directly. A problem with international shipping will have its effects on you. A problem with manufacturing certain IT components might have a domino effect.
Yet, as I see it, it’s better to focus on „past” news, not on „future” ones.
I like to say boring things, I think it’s a necessary step for saying something smart.
I don’t try to be boring, but I think a lot of smart things are quite boring.
What’s not boring? Aggressiveness and mocking things.
About passion – it might be generally a bit more difficult to be boring and, at the same time, be passionate and show talent in what you do.
I think there are two aims of NGOs for students:
A while ago, I thought that one should mostly focus on helping people. Having fun can’t be that bad.
Sheryl Crow – If It Makes You Happy (Official Music Video) – YouTube.
There are some persons who, in my opinion, talk too much: for those persons, sometimes, I tend, presently, not to say „You’re welcome” all that much. I let a person that likes talking a lot having the final word.
On the other hand, on most occasions, I tend to say „You’re welcome!” and I’m often the one with the last word.
Might want to work on this. :)
