I just recently did this in my company and have been mulling over giving a talk about it.

We have had success at my org by anchoring a lot of the mentor/mentee discussion around our documented career ladder. If there's not a pressing specific discussion topic for one of…

I've been kicking around an idea of creating a site dedicated to in-depth writeups of the workflows that professionals use these days to stay organized - I've always had the proble…

RabbitMQ is written in erlang and is popular, so perhaps a queueing system? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RabbitMQ

Could always just read the underlying study, but I'm guessing you don't care too much about what it's saying, just who's saying it? https://www.birds.cornell.edu/home/wp-content/up…

That sounds (sounded) awesome! As I was typing up my previous comment I was wondering if there are any other services out there that does this same sort of thing. Fingers crossed.

My wife and I have been slowly buying furniture for our house, and Etsy is our go-to. I don't know where else I can search for such a wide array of styles for things like desks and…

I thought I couldn't grow a beard for forever until I followed some advice to just give it three months to fill in natural bald spots. Looks great now that I gave it the chance to …

What are the conservative-friendly mechanisms for ensuring this type of equality across all zip codes?

Will this have implications for the giant impact hypothesis, or not at all? Can't tell if shortening the time window in which that could've happened would change much. https://en.m…

Absolutely, this article is stunning. And I'd never seen that picture at dusk of the fire with the Eiffel tower in the background. Amazing all around.

The thought process is that if they did this bad thing, only walked back the bad thing when it became public, and are maintaining that they didn't think the bad thing was that bad …

Drove me nuts after opening a new tab to read it - the tab kept flashing that I had a new message. Closed the tab before reading.

Agreed with ignoramous' reply - interested in reading more literature here around what you're describing.

The QC35s have been near life-changing for my urban existence. Much better transit experience, and can listen to really loud action movies on my headphones through Apple TV without…

100% have the team involved. I recently hired for a manager to take over one of my dev teams, had a couple of candidates I was on the fence about, but after hearing the development…

I was about to say, if naggy and poor customer service is a hallmark of Pandora, then becoming a part of SiriusXM will be a match made in heaven (hell?). When I finally decided to …

Amen, though once I called them it was pretty easy to get them to cancel me. SiriusXM, though...spent 25 minutes on the phone arguing with the rep that I didn't want to pay for the…

This is great, thanks for sharing. I stumbled across this idea myself since no todo manager really represented complex dependencies of tasks - the "list" format is just so prevalen…

Minor correction: Sarbanes-Oxley was introduced in 2002 after the Enron/Worldcom crises, not after the 2007/2008 financial crises: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarbanes%E2%80%93Ox…

Link goes to part 2 of a 3-part series for some reason.

I didn't know how badly I needed the mind map view until I saw it. Re-creates how I think about planning complex tasks with multiple dependencies.

Could you elaborate on why server-side .NET is much worse than JVM?
