Humans pass it as well. Maybe we tend to underestimate even more species.

I actually know a great veterinary surgeon with exam anxiety. That seems to indicate that exam anxiety is different from stress intolerance, and if exam anxiety" doesn't stop people from being great even in stressful jobs then it is good en

There are some things people arguing against professional help should try to understand: not every treatable and serious negative psychological condition is depression; you don't go to a doctor only if you have cancer; occasionally you can

In mine too -- possibly not as great as yours, but there's quite a lot of people, even in theoretically well-educated workplaces. I have visited a psychiatrists with my problems anyway, and it definitely helped. Also, most of my friends kno

Maybe the differences are not big enough to justify increasing the probability of mistakes.

The big point seems to be "Many web applications, including Scout, have customers around the world. There isn’t a perfect time for a deployment." It is like a road stuck in a permanent rush hour -- if the time of repair has little effect on

For me it was about two years, but one aannoying thing I kind-of-remember was that the app demanded the IE control (somehow emulated via Firefox in Wine, but requiring additional install - automatically suggested by Wine, but still). It def

Actually, we still need external-to-internal connections (e.g. p2p file transfers, not only Bittorrent, but also IM file transfer, VoIP, game servers and so on) so the NAT gets punched through routinely. The security isn't really provided b

Actually I think that's pretty well addressed in the article - WebKit supports a bit too much. Contrary to Apple Microsoft targets the corporate market and weird internal applications. If they start implementing unstable features or using a

They have auto-update. Usually disabled, because people somehow hate windows update, and corporate clients don't really want weird-application-breaking updates unless THEY decide they want it. So, whatever auto-update mechanism MS puts in p

That's good advice for someone who is on the receiving end of discrimination. Yeah, work harder, don't count on douchebags to stop being douchebags, because in predictable future they will not. Maybe they will become less douchebaggy. Maybe

"more men die in the military because more men join it" Ooh, what a great example that women are (generally) encouraged to take less risks, while men are (generally) encouraged to take more risks. Not that some brain function differences

It's more comparable to virtualenv with virtualenvwrapper. Also, it manages multiple versions of Ruby (AFAIK virtualenv was coupled to a single version of Python) and has a per-directory dotfile (that way, when I switch to ~/Projects/someth

Take a person. Make the person maintain 1MB of data -- copy it, memorize it, something like that. Possibly understand it. Repeat for 5 million people. If 1MB is too much, try 1KB, and repeat for 5 billion people. There should still be some

Spreadsheets are not drugs. Mostly. Developing and deploying a spreadsheet is cheaper and less risky than developing and deploying a completely new drug.

If you have "no presence at all" then you either have no money, in which case you can't really afford entering it (in this case, anyway), or you have the money, but then the above rules still apply. Effectively it would be better to market

Because selling media costs money, and some countries can't really offer much reward. To sell music you have to deal with labels and, sometimes, local authorites, while risking small profits. Here in Poland we have some archaic organizatio
