The fireman debate, where management argues that a position is no longer necessary due to technological improvements, while the people actually doing the work think or understand differently, should be familiar to almost anyone in any field

In the US we mainly just have fire codes, usually set locally, which dictate the number of people that can be in a building, but this is more about how fast the building can be evacuated in the case of an emergency than how much space each

The much better (and probably worthy of a modern spiritual successor, which this article is not) version of this theme is Neal Stephenson's excellent "Mother Earth Mother Board" from a 1996 issue of /Wired/: https:

Yeah, pageload based frameworks and design strategies are a whole mess of complexity that SPAs actually avoid completely. That said, one has to be careful to do reasonable things with the URL bar, so bookmarking, etc works as users expect.

It should mean that we have better security in all of those things. Any increase in "wealth" that doesn't actually make us better off in the sense that we are less likely to lack necessary things like food, healthcare, and

Kalamazoo isn't doing bad these days, either. As someone who grew up in Michigan (Saginaw), I would love to move to either, but IT jobs I'm qualified for seem to be rather thin on the ground.

Yeah, not in this specific example, but under certain (somewhat artificial) circumstances, it could be. Imagine that your car doesn't start and you have it towed to a 100% trustworthy mechanic. He says that he knows what is wrong and i

"Running projects where you only make decisions when you run out of money seems like the sign of incredibly poor management." You're right, but this is the kind of management that the U.S. Constitution requires. The Executive

That seems more like an example of how the "planning laws" are a nuisance and totally out of step with reality. If there were really some harm in the house being there, surely somebody should have challenged it before 10 years. Wh

This seems like a Dublin city ordinance. Is there no part of Ireland where you can build a house without pulling a permit?

Most even vaguely urbanized areas in the US have this, but it's a typically a municipal-level (county or city) thing, so yes, there are sizable chunks of the US that have no zoning or building codes, but they're out in the boonies

There's no moral obligation to work without pay, even for one day, even if you've gotten "promises" that you'll be made whole. An ethical company would send him home if they didn't know they could pay him or no

Doesn't Article IV, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution (the "full faith and credit clause") pretty much require Iowa to accept a Montana wedding certificate at face value?

I wonder why the strategy of these "brand personalities" has to be limited to "luxury" type branding. For example, could you build a following traveling the country by interstate in a Fiesta, staying at Motel 6 and eatin

I think filesharing is mainly just going to die. Streaming is probably the main perpetrator. Hollywood and the music industry are figuring out how to do digital distribution in such a way that consumers don't feel the need for fileshar

The economics of internet-scale software businesses make this harder than opening a hardware store and selling nails and rope for more than they cost from the wholesaler. It often does require lots of risk capital. If you don't have it

Could somebody else provide the same amount of value (as your CEO) for a much lower salary? In principle at least, employees (including CEOs) shouldn't be compensated according to the "value" they provide, but instead only pa

It would be great if these were "demilitarized" or otherwised disposed of for hackers to play with. Dirt cheap stuffed animals with decent SoC with networking, speaker, and microphone built in could be the basis of a lot of fun pr

Also, they're not "loops" in the physical sense, though they do operate logically as loops: pulses go in one end of the tube, travel through the mercury, and are received at the other end, where they are repeated elecrtonical

Very cool! The more I read about early computing, the more fascinated I become that the major problem innovators needed to solve was memory, not computing per-se. There were precious few things that could be teased into working as read-writ

I always laugh that the (modern, correct) word for Germany in Polish is "Niemiec" which basically means "people who don't talk." Like some Polish guys ran into some Germans, and the Germans just started speaking som

"Here's a flat paved plaza. You cannot sit down. The cops will be by to kick you out at 11." Sure, sounds like a lot of fun.

Transients and anybody who would like to be outside in the square, including residents who live near the square, but it's not like it's "their" square. It isn't a Costco parking lot in Fort Worth, it's a square
