dell p2419h ubuntu 75 hertz
us flag

I have a Dell p2419h monitor and Ubuntu 21.04. Right now I have a maximum 60 hertz that I can set the monitor to. It should be 75. I did not find any information about drivers for Ubuntu or any recommendation or user guide. 60 hertz is not comfortable for eyes. Can my monitor work with 75 hertz on 1920x1080?

Will Ubuntu 20.04 work on a mid 2013 Macbook Air?
ve flag

Just realized my Macbook just became obsolete a few months ago. I noticed my processor (1.3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5) isn't as fast as the 2 GHz dual core processor listed on Ubuntu's installation page. Would it still work on this machine, just slowly? Thanks.

How can I show application progress in a dock icon?

My native GTK3 application which runs on Ubuntu has an icon that appears in the the Ubuntu dock when the application is running. The application preforms a task and displays a progress bar.

Is there a API or Ubuntu dbus interface that my application should send messages to, in order to also show the progress overlaid on its icon in the dock?

The Stunning Power of Questions

Much of an executive’s workday is spent asking others for information—requesting status updates from a team leader, for example, or questioning a counterpart in a tense negotiation. Yet unlike professionals such as litigators, journalists, and doctors, who are taught how to ask questions as an essential part of their training, few executives think of questioning as a skill that can be honed—or consider how their own answers to questions could make conversations more productive.

That’s a missed opportunity. Questioning is a uniquely powerful tool for unlocking value in organizations: It spurs learning and the exchange of ideas, it fuels innovation and performance improvement, it builds rapport and trust among team members. And it can mitigate business risk by uncovering unforeseen pitfalls and hazards.

For some people, questioning comes easily. Their natural inquisitiveness, emotional intelligence, and ability to read people put the ideal question on the tip of their tongue. But most of us don’t ask enough questions, nor do we pose our inquiries in an optimal way.

The good news is that by asking questions, we naturally improve our emotional intelligence, which in turn makes us better questioners—a virtuous cycle. In this article, we draw on insights from behavioral science research to explore how the way we frame questions and choose to answer our counterparts can influence the outcome of conversations. We offer guidance for choosing the best type, tone, sequence, and framing of questions and for deciding what and how much information to share to reap the most benefit from our interactions, not just for ourselves but for our organizations.
