Who else thinks he's hype driving the price up to dump the shares he already owns at a profit? He clearly has no reason to fear the SEC...

I’ve always wanted to try this out in practice. It seems like it would be a great way to find gaps in the specification. There was some research in the early 90’s over multiple imp…

Don’t forget the drugs and money laundering.

My work would insist on calling the incident response or monitoring room a "war room". And I would quote this every time it was mentioned. It gets old, but I literally can not stop…

I absolutely have to plug the author’s latest book, Wanderers. It was pretty amazing.

How about multiple day battery life? You probably don’t even need that much more battery, just a smaller screen and slower cpu/gpu.

My high school cross country running coach used to navigate by Waffle Houses. As in “4 more Waffle Houses til our exit”

14 cents per ride is nothing! Maybe 1% of the cost of a ride. Maybe they could save a bunch by colo or something else. But would 14 cents per ride really matter at all for their co…

If the company can’t figure out how to add a date to the subject line, they won’t be able to figure this out either. It’s gmails bug, but I’m amazed they couldn’t figure out hiw to…

How is the battery life on the oryx?

Not really relevant, but if you have a recurrent c-diff infection, eating a warm turd is pretty close to the empirically proven treatment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fecal_micro…

The making everyone else come in is the worst. A senior to me dev started working nights. I didn't even know he was doing it but I got in trouble for not being there when he was wo…

Does this factor in the cost of lost productivity from having an awesome gaming pc always available?

At an old job I managed to snag a 30" monitor from a colleague who was moving to a different job. He managed to get it in the brief window that it was offered instead of 26" ones. …

Not my direct manager but the tech lead. This was a new team with an early standup which never happened on time because we would always roll in late. The scrum master had the 'grea…

There are just too many unknowns to do estimates well in software. And getting things wrong in estimates isn't a matter of being off by a couple percentage points but being off in …

Likely changes to the coast itself. For example Louisiana and the gulf coast are going down faster, because of coastal erosion. I would guess that the parts of Alaska that are seei…
