I’ll never forget seeing a girl in a cafe highlight, line by line, nearly an entire page of a textbook. Watching the page curl from the wetness, almost as if writhing in pain.

It's a Skinner box of productivity. Of course it's polarizing. My own enthusiasm varies wildly day to day. I've been sick of squinting at punctuation marks and opening sequences of…

Kudos to the lucky few artisans that the modern economy will support, but becoming a stocker at Ikea will probably be more lucrative than picking up a saw and plane.

I disagree- when I googled this knot I came immediately to https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/ianknothistory.htm where this “Ian” fellow goes to great lengths to establish himself as…

Facebook is widely thought to cause significant societal damage; anyone who thinks so, would probably consider employees of Meta to be the ones lacking empathy.

I think the two concepts are not easy to disentangle. It isn’t the craftsman who decides the chairs should be built in an assembly line- it’s the owner, who wants to maximize the n…

Described by Marx (in too many words, unfortunately) as “alienation”

As someone with a EE degree followed by 12 years of SWE work, that pivot is quite daunting. A degree is just a piece of paper to get you an entry level job to do some real learning…

In the Windows team (back before the test org was decimated) I saw the described "class divide". Anybody who was good enough would switch from SDET to SDE [disclaimer: obviously th…

I’ve always been bothered by instances of your first example, and I mostly use “XD” instead of “:)” to sidestep the issue in my own writing.

As a Windows driver developer: LOL

Another possibility: your teams are working less now.

Speaking of paying close attention to the mundane, it’s an escalator.

I don’t think I’ll ever be convinced that there’s some kind of fundamental “randomness” (as in one that isn’t a measure of ignorance) in the world. Claiming its existence sounds li…

Why make it work with a mobile app at all? How is that even a convenience? This is an appliance you need to be physically present at to load and unload.

TCP Fast Open does you one better: A: If you can hear me, what time is it? B: Yeah I can hear you; it’s 5.

FYI quic is compatible with bbr, and at least the google and msft quic implementations have bbr (albeit not by default afaik).

By ”stagnation” do you mean “not getting new features”?

> The median operating margins for hospitals is around 0% or some times negative I found this page that seems to agree- https://www.definitivehc.com/resources/healthcare-insights/h…

>I've turned in so many things I'm not happy with and gotten a "this is great" Great if this feedback is from users; not great if it's from somebody who's just been waiting for you…

Sorry for the tangent but I have to know if it’s really “picadillos” you meant to type.

The campus reconstruction isn’t finished yet. I’m certainly curious what will happen when it is.

Unfortunately missing in the article is any plan for this to actually happen: for stability and quality to be valued by the CEMBI when their boss demands proof of “impact”.

I enjoy drinking alone.
