Why does Canonical organize Launchpad as separate PPAs for each author, rather than as a single repository?
US flag

The popularity of Ubuntu has encouraged many authors to ensure that their applications are distributed as APT packages that function under Ubuntu releases. However, the infrastructure and tools provided by Canonical are based on PPAs, separate Debian repositories for each publisher.

The system requires administrators to add a separate repository to the local configuration for each individual pub ...

Sort of happy to see my Wireguard tunnels appear in the VPN widget on the system tray.

However, it seems all I can do is turn them off. When I do that, the toggle just disappears and I have to use wg-quick to turn them back on.

What's worse is that they do disable them without actually turning them off. Because I have to use systemctl to stop the service and then again to start them before the tunne ...

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.
