If the data sucks, how are you going to present any other reasonable expert view than the one he presented? Manufacturing some grand view and recommendations based on untrustworthy data is something that needs to be avoided, however much we

There is a lot of research into traditional medicine. It's just that when any form is found effective it becomes just medicine. Uneffective ones stay in the realm of traditional medicine. There was a quite nice editorial on the subject

Boundaries have problems in monoliths as well, can't really imagine it would be any easier with microservices.

Well for software development the only problem with Windows is that it isn't unix and a lot of the web dev world lives on unix. In my experience Windows 7 is much more stable than for example Yosemite, though I would really prefer to u

Indeed. I think it's pretty ridiculous how critical people here are of these raises. It's as if Dan is doing something unnatural when he's not maximising his own profits.

They are at disadvantage only if Dan's motivation is to maximise profits. That does not appear to be the motivation.

I've worked both full-time remotely and full-time at the office(both own single person office and open office plan) and much in between. For me the significant variables are commuting time, office plan, co-workers and family. When I ha

I very much agree. In an earlier job I used to work remotely from two days a week to going about couple of weeks without going to the office. This was when we didn't have children. Now that we have a year old daughter and my spouse is

Science reporting is really hard. This story comes off as if there was enough research to start to move away from the researched sweeteners. Especially the part in the end is laughable: "Segal, for one, is taking no chances: he says th

Yup, it looks very nice, but I doubt that I'd get full usage out of it in 6 months. I'd have to time buying it very carefully. So most likely won't buy.

My work Macbook Pro has constant problems with suspend. Sometimes it doesn't get the external display up again and sometimes it just takes a long time to wake. To be fair the slowness is likely due to old fashioned hard drive that alwa

I think you touch a key issue here. Changing the situation is really difficult. From consumer point of view pirating and campaigning for changing laws are pretty much the only ways that have potential to make a difference. Boycotting is not

+1. The point about stealing is really good. It is really annoying tactic of trying to frame the issue as something other than it is. Other than that, in many countries (for example in Finland) you are allowed to copy movies and music for y

Indeed. Whenever you break convention like underlined and colored text for links you in general need to have a good reason.

It's all well and good if you want to have the social connection while fiddling with your food. However nowadays you don't have to if you don't want to. I for one would not like to spend a lot of my waking non-eating time pre

I agree. This is very sad state of affairs. At my workplace I'm trying to drum up support for git, but the poor Windows tools are a hindrance.

Well, because when you want to get stuff done you really don't want to invent the wheel again. Why not reuse the work someone else has done before? This is not to say that understanding web at a low level isn't useful, it certainl
