I want to think that ConTeXt is that successor. While has a slightly different markup from LaTeX but is still familiar enough, I find it typesetting/markup to be both consistent an…

Reading your post, it is clear to me that management and engineers will rediscover the theory of constraints at some point if they can connect the dots.

I fail to see your point, as the base pipes can be combined with blocks and wrapping the target function into another function. Although, IMHO, if that many operations are crammed …

The base pipe has an underscore as a placeholder. From the docs: Usage: lhs |> rhs Arguments: lhs: expression producing a value. rhs: a call expression. Details: [...] It is also p…

I am not sure if the average executive is dumb or just shortsighted. Imagine making decisions based solely on the optics of the Pareto principle when corporate history itself says …

Bean Counter Tim is going to drive Apple into the ground before he does anything useful. Just look at the current state of the ecosystem when it comes to UI/UX and software stabili…

Executives who focus on the financial side of things and do not care about correctness in operations are the ones steering lots of companies nowadays. Boeing is a good example/case…

Again, another great move sponsored by bean counter boy Tim.

Thanks for sharing! Every time I see a post about Elixir and how it Just Works™, I get an urge to learn and build something with it.

Another outstanding decision vetted by Tim Cook. In all seriousness, finance people see everything through the lens of margins and money primarily. Since any company's function is …

I wonder if it is even possible to get such measurements. With so many things affecting output, how can one establish a baseline or avoiding to compare apples to oranges?
