Work-from-office mandate? Expect top talent turnover, culture rot | CIO

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 21:53:23 +0000

Effective collaboration can happen remotely when teams have clear norms, strong documentation, and psychological safety, she adds. “I’ve also seen teams sitting next to each other collaborate poorly because decisions are unclear or leaders equate visibility with progress,” she says. “Collaboration doesn’t automatically improve just because people share a building.”

Remote work is not rocket science. Open-source communities have been doing it for decades, and they often manage to build communities in which people would willingly spend their own money to go to a conference and actually meet their friends in person.

Employees are being marched back to the office. But why? | Life and style | The Guardian

Tue, 10 Dec 2024 20:24:18 +0000

Like many people I thought Covid, with its stopped clock and blunt force, would bring a major reckoning. A reckoning with small things, like what we wear, and with large things, too – how we relate to each other, for example, how we consume and, crucially, how we work. But what seemed to happen, and very quickly, was that people rushed back to try to make life exactly as it was before. There was a panic to fill the empty office blocks, to repopulate the Prets and very little incentive to use the imposed pause to look around at what could be improved and what we’d got terribly wrong. I sound like a child saying this, I know, but what if the office blocks became affordable flats instead? What if we learned one single lesson? The rise of hybrid working was one of very few silver linings to the pandemic – that reach for an elusive balance and acknowledgment from employers that their workers were human beings, too.

The First Virtual Meeting Was in 1916 - IEEE Spectrum

Tue, 19 Nov 2024 20:12:40 +0000

At 8:30 p.m. on 16 May 1916, John J. Carty banged his gavel at the Engineering Societies Building in New York City to call to order a meeting of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. This was no ordinary gathering. The AIEE had decided to conduct a live national meeting connecting more than 5,000 attendees in eight cities across four time zones. More than a century before Zoom made virtual meetings a pedestrian experience, telephone lines linked auditoriums from coast to coast. AIEE members and guests in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Denver, New York, Philadelphia, Salt Lake City, and San Francisco had telephone receivers at their seats so they could listen in.

In their plaintive call for a return to the office, CEOs reveal how little they are needed | John Quiggin | The Guardian

Mon, 07 Oct 2024 19:55:20 +0000

As Gideon Haigh observed 20 years ago, the era of neoliberalism has been associated with the “cult of the CEO”. The office has been the shrine of that cult. In their plaintive call for a return there, CEOs are like declining deities who see their votaries deserting them.

DISTRIBUTED: Remote Employees are Happier, Healthier and More Productive | Intridea Blog

Fri, 27 Jun 2014 16:38:56 +0000

Yep, you read that right. While it’s no surprise that remote employees are happier than their commuting counterparts, many business owners are shocked to learn distributed employees are also more productive. How could that be? It’s actually pretty simple. Psychologists have proven time and again that a happy employee is also a productive employee.

Stop whining and start hiring remote workers - (37signals)

Sun, 01 Jan 2012 19:35:14 +0000

Every day I read a new article about some company whining about how hard it is to hire technical staff. Invariably it turns out that they’re only looking for people within a commuters distance of their office. I refuse to feel sorry for such companies.

IguanaWorks - USB IR

Tue, 10 May 2011 05:18:53 +0000

Our USB IR Transmitter/Receiver is a standard USB device that can transmit and receive the infrared codes supported by LIRC (Linux only) and WinLIRC (Windows only and beta). Combined with (Win)LIRC, this device can communicate with most home electronics, such as TVs, stereos, DVD players, receivers, and their associated remote controls. When used with MythTV, you can turn your computer into a TiVo-like media center.

With the following (minimal) hardware circuitry the NSLU2 is able to receive and transmit infrared signals, e.g. like RC5. These are normally received by audio and video equipment and sent by remote controls from your couch. The signals are decoded and generated in software using LIRC.

Sensor tutorials - IR remote receiver/decoder tutorial

Tue, 10 May 2011 03:03:58 +0000

IR detectors are little microchips with a photocell that are tuned to listen to infrared light. They are almost always used for remote control detection - every TV and DVD player has one of these in the front to listen for the IR signal from the clicker. Inside the remote control is a matching IR LED, which emits IR pulses to tell the TV to turn on, off or change channels. IR light is not visible to the human eye, which means it takes a little more work to test a setup.
