What’s the original painting supposed to depict? Can’t think of a situation where I would be debating with my skull in my hand.

Flip side of the coin, I had a sysadmin who wouldn’t increase the tmp size from 1gb because ‘I don’t need more than that recommended size’. I deploy tons of etl jobs, and they download gbs of files for processing to this globally known temp storage. I got it changed for one server successfully after much back and forth, but the other one I just overrode it in my config files for every script.

I don’t remember the name of the novel, so somebody help me with this. The concept is basically that scientists invent time travel, but use it as a teleportation device instead. Set the machine by a few seconds, you teleport the distance covered by the Earth during that time. They even use the technique to plan for an assasination of Kim Jong Un. Loved that one. Some innovative sequences using the ‘time machine’.

Edit: Found it. It's actually two books (original and sequel).

and

Time Frame - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/37946554-time-frame

The first book takes its time revealing the 'time travel', but the second book dives head first into using the technology proficiently.

And then put it where?

Work From Home was a big cultural change for the country, and we all see how that went (even after initially lauding it). I'm not holding my breath on this. Anything that reduces stress on the employees would never get commonplace, because stress is how they keep the workers in check.
