Friday Links 25-11

Headphones and other electronics charging in a hotel room
My YouTube links got lost because of my new workflow. It is working now.

This week I enjoyed the Podcast about copyright and the video about cycling couriers in Seoul.  

Leadership

The Heart of Innovation: Why Most Startups Fail - long read about demand. 

Your Manager Is Not Your Best Friend - your manager should be thinking about the company and the team, then the individuals. 

Engineering

TDD, AI agents and coding with Kent Beck [Podcast] - I appreciate Kent's perspective here. 

Work 

On How Long it Takes to Know if a Job is Right for You or Not - probably shorter than you think.

Breaking down the infinite workday - interesting numbers from their work report. 

Environment 

How the threat of extreme heat is starting to change our holiday plans - I think this has been happening already. 

Urbanism

Thousands of cyclists take to the streets of Berlin to demonstrate | DW News   [YouTube] - I never managed to take part in one of these. 

TfL drivers play Train Sim World 5 | Transport for London [YouTube] - no a game for me, but fun watching the pros playing. 

Així és el parc de les Glòries des de l’aire  [YouTube] - redevelopment of Glories in Barcelona, which used to be a massive elevated round about. 

From Scratch: the only bike messengers in Seoul // Eui Ho Kim at Gig Courier 무(無)에서와 다른 이야기들 [YouTube] - that is such a pretty town.  

Verkehrsberuhigung im Neuköllner Reuterkiez: Poller-Gegner scheitern in letzter Instanz [German] - two locals and a random person try to get a Kiezblock removed, and fail before court. 

Barcelona rents down 8.9% a year after cap introduced - interesting that this works in Barcelona, but not in Germany. 

Random Headphones

Sony’s WH-1000XM6 Gets a Repair-Friendly Upgrade - nice to see this. I am still on the MX4's, but these are tempting. 

007 First Light - Announcement Trailer | PS5 Games  [YouTube] - I am mostly interested in how much of Hitman mechanics are left. 

Fixing the AMIGA 1200 with a cheap meter!  [YouTube] - That is quite a dedicated repair. 

TePhOS - alternative OS for the TI99/4A

Start your own Internet Resiliency Club - I never heard of LoRa before, this could be fun.

Spanish minister rules out cyber-attack as cause of April blackout, after expert report - it is just a complex system. It is surprising that this doesn't happen more often.

&udm=14 - Google search without the rubbish. 

ACARS Drama - random messages from aeroplanes. 

Copyright [Podcast] - Great show, but not enough about computers and copyleft.
