This is me being subjective and not having much marketing education so someone may want to correct the idea: From a literal perspective, not much, but in terms of perception and ma…

Good point. I went through a phase where I offloaded virtually everything that takes electrons bar my laptop and phone (which doubles as my modem), I've been at this baseline for a…

Crux of the discussion? It's become a market norm to have more, new, novelty. If the only selling point of an iPhone iteration was bugfixes, stability and refinement of the workflo…

It's been an interesting switch, I've found that in terms of what "I do" on a laptop or device, that hasn't been impacted very much nor inherited a lot of new papercuts. I have how…

Very much relate to this. Some days, especially in the corporate environment where I work, I genuinely wonder if we are missing the point completely with all the innovation and adv…

I've got the same habit with code, taking it offline with a pen in hand and stepping through it. Found it much more effective for working through logical issues in code because it …

Looking forward to it if I ever have the chance. There's an element of contentment to this approach that I really appreciate.

Some koans have the goal of exhausting this kind of reserve through trying to deeply explore and attempt to solve a paradox. I think the intent is to gain experience of this kind o…

Really appreciated this point too. None of his vendors seemed to have a genuine interest in anything outside of the quality of their craft and the honour of their relationships. It…

Sorry, the example wasn't completely literal and a bit clumsy. Completely acknowledge the importance of those approaches and methadone programs in place that allow for a transition…

I've been looking to do something like this with the Networkx library in Python, though on an internal company MediaWiki with a much smaller article base. Going to try to visualise…

There are a lot of schools of thought that address the paradox of short term sufferings involvement in the overall scheme of kindness. Buddhism refers to it as "idiot kindness" or …

Erm, sorry chap that's a period life table, not an expectancy table. It's remaining years, not total. If you scroll down eventually years remaining < age. Unless you count reincarn…

Standard feasibility work for any large project? Alternately the potential that all of their explorations have application in a stack somewhere in the organisation? At any rate tes…

I think if someone's running a majority of metro apps it might be a bit less jarring (because they are used to the "app as the whole screen" thing), but it can be confusing when sw…

Not feeling the issues with Win8, I'm on a low end Dell 13" and apart from the missing start menu I've noticed no real difference in usability. After pinning everything to the home…

Can't get to the video at the moment, but was the comment from Frontalot or Coulton? If it's the case it's likely it was very tongue in cheek, given (particularly in Frontalot's ca…

Second this, as per other comment I made as well. SCADA systems are generally unstable and very precious about how they are implemented, it can drive people to make a lot of conces…

It is. Just the loose ones make the papers. We run physical divisions on our control systems, even system to system. Lots of walking area to area to do work but none of it will see…

Anybody that's worked with SCADA systems unfortunately wouldn't bat an eye at this. In my own experience they're horribly issue prone, we've churned through 4-5 different vendors i…

At one point last year I went all-out open source and dumped my W7 machine w/ photoshop and illustrator to switch over to GIMP and inkscape. I stuck with this configuration for abo…

Avoiding giving a reply or simply being disorganised when it comes to following up with responses isn't tech specific. Penpals who take six months to reply, people who screen their…

It has visible short to medium turn returns? I don't do SEO, but it seems like it's a case where you can do some analysis, engineering and tuning, then fairly immediately see some …

Artificial milestones to proceeding with a plan or taking an action, you're describing a literal milestone of fitting everything in your car due to a practical need. I was down to …
