Leaders rarely want the nuance. 99% the answer is always "it depends" or you have to ask follow-up scoping questions. They just want to be handed a decision without the color or limitations. Sometimes that leads to future uncomfor

So frequently do I see the hottest new ECMAScript feature presented by one these folks on Twitter, and I'm thinking how out of the box, older browsers won't support it, and most junior developers don't have a great grasp on p

Too much autonomy is too much of a good thing. You end up with 5 "send a email" microservices, multiple design systems, etc. People won't bother to look outside of there team's scope to see if anyone else in the company

The problem is the government mandated houses be piggy banks for middle class people, all but allowing large institutional investors to take advantage of the rule system put in place to protect and increase prices: low interest rates, local

AMC and Cinemark would have negotiated if the moat was properly fortified is my thesis. They didn't have enough runway to determine the feasibility. Anyone could've looked at MoviePass' public filings and determined they woul

Unpopular opinion, but MoviePass could have survived a lot longer if they had more funding. I think there could have been a real opportunity with establishing themselves the main funnel to getting consumers to physical theaters. They couldn

These kiosks miss very basic use cases. There's no equivalent to the verbal "can I have a (free) cup of water with the meal" on a McDonald's kiosk UI. You can purchase bottled water, however.

Your point on religious days intrigued me. I wonder if there's a more than casual relationship between "on demand" workers (which is often the case with part-time workers given random schedules week-to-week) and declining rel

It isn't your boss' decision to have you promoted. It is your boss' colleagues: the decision isn't made in a vacuum. Best your boss can do is give you opportunities to obviously display that value to their peer group. Al

As much as this is true, OOP is the lingua franca of paradigms. You have to convince others this is true, otherwise any codebase shared by three or more developers will creep back towards it. Then you end up with the FP guy, the OOP guy, an

They could have been Sears, but they haven't made it far enough. They're doing enough to survive, but they're acting reactively, not proactively, to a changing environment. They will never come close to exceeding Amazon'

It appears the avatar in the chip (using Material nomenclature here for the UI components) for suggested search result "Tank Man China" has the original image, but clicking on the chip takes you a page missing said image.

Slightly tangential, but I would be curious to hear examples of other pharmaceuticals that wouldn't be permitted today, and more broadly, how many "legacy" products wouldn't be approved? And if we have information saying

I've spent a couple years working on B2B Enterprise SaaS. So, why do these systems suck? These systems are made in environments that simply are not conducive to approach software development in a healthy way. From my experience it&#x27

The early bird gets the worm (the points). Early comments get higher visibility. It disincentives reading the article first. A post already has 200+ comments? Don't even bother adding a top-level comment, nobody will see it.

Anything metric that becomes gamed ceases to be useful. If we all know the game is to optimize for number of citations, then the jig is up. It will eventually cease to be a useful system and fail its ultimate goal. Institutions can handle s

There's multiple levels of blame to be given. You can say China is responsible for 100% of all deaths, but you can also be critical of the US response and ask how many additional deaths were due to a botched Federal response and a patc

What's Facebook's angle for discouraging the view that Covid may have originated from a lab? E.g, what do they gain from this perspective? Sidenote: because it was being suppressed, I genuinely believed it was fringe theory. I did

What's different is you get functionally different links. GitLab aliases to the branch name, not the commit hash. So it isn't really a "permanent" link to a line of code. It's whatever happens to be on line N in fil

I've found GitLab as a product to be more difficult to use than GitHub. The pages seem more dense with lots of color, many more actions: they just feel busy. Basic features, like getting a permalink to a line of code, take 3-4 clicks i

Exactly: Most modern browsers respect CORS. If you send response header "Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *", you're saying any origin can load the response. Clearly, the owner of cdn.fakercloud.com didn't want that behavior

Allocation of land is indeed a fixed pie. Say being rich is everyone having an 1-acre SFH lot with a view of the ocean. No matter what sort of monetary system we place, there is hard limit to the number of lots that could exist. Some people

A 4-pack of razor cartridges is $20 at a convenience store. The markup means a relatively small volume of space can translate to rather significant dollar amounts. Lots of small, expensive products are sold inside these type of stores: make
