đź’Ą Read this insightful post from Culture | The Guardian đź“– đź“‚ **Category**: Television,Culture,Television & radio,TV comedy,Comedy,Theatre,Stage đź“Ś **What You’ll Learn**: ABroader, more audience-friendly sitcoms thrive on stock characters: the down-and-outs, the jobs, the goofs and the snobs. There was no actor more suited to the latter than Penelope Keith. Others played it funny and arrogant, but it was a walking color scheme of snobbery. Her greatest strength was her ability to always define a new form for the same theme, choosing any number of tones and nuances to give each of her characters more life than her writers probably…

🚀 Read this awesome post from Hacker News đź“– đź“‚ **Category**: đź’ˇ **What You’ll Learn**: Back in the day when Principia originally released for Windows in 2014, the game would run on versions as far back as Windows XP. Given that Principia 1.4 was released while Windows XP still had mainstream support, this of course made sense at the time, and there was no real reason not to support it given that the tooling and dependencies at the time were still compatible with it. Fast forward to today with Principia as an open source project. While the Windows version should…

The series initially made its name as a vehicle for pure progressive momentum, the story of a burned-out upscale chef who is recruited to fix and save his deceased brother's sandwich restaurant. Across eight breathless episodes, we see Carmi repeatedly exposed to the pressures of the job—the fights, the demands, and the occasional stabbing—as he seeks to rebuild it in his own image.With the benefit of hindsight, this probably should have been…

The short of it:Pollen seemed to have pulled off the improbable feat of building a business in the notoriously low margin industry of events, surviving Covid-19, and building a solid software engineering organization. In April this year, the company announced it had raised another $150M in fresh funding.But just three weeks later, Pollen laid off about 200 people, a third of staff.
