I'll join the chorus of saying that falling down at age 40 means my skinned knee is still healing three weeks later. I'm very risk tolerant, but it's striking how the tides have tu…

This seems like a situation where the adage "praise in public, criticize in private" would have helped. It's important to have hard conversations about a team's ability - if for no…

This analogy seems like a stretch. An artist that has paint dripping from their strokes strikes me as sloppy. Is this analogy really tied to a single specific type of painting?

I know, right? By that logic, I've just decoded your comment by reading it.

I really enjoyed this satire from reddit a few years back: > I would prefer them to have no business or coding skills of any kind, so they'll be free to express their unbridled, un…

> whether that leader is deemed to be in the first case or the second case will be a matter of opinion mostly. Respectfully, I disagree. One scenario results in a plan, one doesn't…

The 11th hour change was just one example of causing chaos provided by a leader, but for the sake of argument, let's focus on it. Let's imagine a hypothetical situation where a pro…

Sadly, no - there's no wifi option. Peeks were (seemingly) hard-wired into a T-Mobile network that is no longer operational.

Reading this article got me wistful for my Peek https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peek_(mobile_Internet_device) . You can do so much with email (todo lists, news, etc) and the device j…

Wikipedia, it's essentially a modern day library, and amongst internet resources, it might have had the biggest impact in my life. It's always been there for me to look up a concep…

But that's almost a harder decision - you can certainly buy a bland colored skin to put stickers on, but if you're going to the effort of skinning your laptop, why not pick an inte…

I loved this article; I used Karpathy's tutorial to imitate a local burger reviewer: http://brian.copeland.bz/2018/12/16/the-burger-hunter/

Dropbox has treated me well. I think it hits all the boxes you're asking for. The app automatically backs up my photos from my phone, but because it's not photo specific, I'm able …

I'm impressed how many people are here to say, "Oh, Allen Hatcher!" I did the same. It certainly says a lot about Hatcher as a textbook writer.

Indeed! CirclMastr (someone who leveled up to 99 in the very first portion of Final Fantasy VII over the course of 500 hours) puts it even better: > It is because nothing has meani…

I love that Kliff gives a shout out to Kaiser Health News’ Bill-of-the-Month feature ( https://khn.org/news/tag/bill-of-the-month/ ), which is a really similar project. I wonder if…

The Test Calls page ( https://developer.marvel.com/docs ) shows a list of end points.

Ditto! pannenkoek2012 is operating at a level that every hacker should aspire to. Piecing together that solution for that star in 0.5 A presses is a thing of beauty.

Call me sick, but I really love reading post-mortem reports I wasn’t involved with. I feel like you can learn so much from other people’s pain. ...it’s almost like watching the TV …

“Once you pass college, excessive theory is worse than no theory because it makes things seem more difficult than they really are.” About every third minute I’ve changed my mind ab…

I'm with you. Replace "the external world exists" with some logical tautology such as De Morgan's Law (not (A and B) not A or not B). Formalism has all sorts of gotchas, so I'm goi…

I think 90% is high for a few reasons: 1) Rate limiting of login attempts takes a bite out of the large numbers you're talking about. If we are only looking at retail companies wit…

I don't buy these numbers at all. 90% seems stupid high for retail. From the report, "[...] we rely on data from the Shape Network. Across the US, Shape’s customers represent: [..]…
