there's probably a rational category based on the size/complexity of the data model. I get the sense that very complicated data models are what really ruins the agile approach for complex environments.

it works the same if you apply it to other disciplines. The saying, "a plan is useless, but planning is invaluable". Agile just skips the second part by trying to throw out the first part. I think a real criticism of Agile would b

I have a quick mill QM67 from 2012...well past 10000 shots in that time and about 5 hours of "On time" per day. since I got it I hacked in a direct plumbing line with a solenoid, and have killed one $29 pump. However, it is probab

I think another alternative here, is the existence of broad spectrum “summary as a service” is that “content for content’s sake” and blog spam and SEO become less relevant. Maybe not, but I hope so.

Worse, the real profits made were by the individual landlords, so there's no incentive against a similar enough service to emerging instead.

Yes - for example, Home Depot does not take tap payments yet.

As someone who does more than the average person’s share of DIY, I agree for another reason: when I do want to do a project, I want to do the kind of project that pleases me. I’m experienced enough to know I hate drywall work, and I don’t r

Wingnuts against softwoods basically suck. the wood fibers just keep compressing and you keep tightening forever.

I know it's not popular, but it could also be a place where a 3rd party engineering / development / managed services firm could be useful. Your labor requirements in building and transition may be different than long-term run

Agree, but only somewhat. It's not clear that we are actually short of sunlight to grow a lot of plants in a lot of places. Sure, places with short growing seasons would have less yield, but, cooling the planet would also make more equ

its the operator skill part when dealing with thin sheet metal. It just works better / easier / faster for thin stuff, where in TIG, that's the high-skill work that everyone pays big bucks for. Agree with the post above, thou

Hey - to borrow your metaphor and expand - Bandaids help heal wounds, and prevent infections. Of course, we know that sulfur will introduce plenty of anticipated negative consequences. Acid rain, for one, does change ecosystems (though in s

as a person with a toddler, I would LOVE if more people wanted to hang out. having a young child is very tough if you already have a job, but when my friends join me for walks where I push my daughter around in a stroller, its great. Having

This is useful as long as the sampling strategy doesn't change over time. With omnibus questions it can be a bit variable if the studies have some other motivation and the demographics are not consistent over time. edit to add: if you

absolutely - binning and cohort analysis is critical here. There's also (at least in my mind) a very reasonable question about what "higher education" means. I think it would be extremely valuable to understand expectations f

This is really lowest common denominator reporting, on top of lowest common denominator sampling, and lowest common denominator question design. A far better approach would be in trying to test for a specific hypothesis, e.g. "I believ

Yeah - you'll see that I mentioned that - if that is true, then great. But, IMO, it's worth verifying. Even more worth double checking if the building is old, or an extension cord is involved.

Yes - likely moreso. (I'm assuming you meant 120v plugs, like US residential.) The issue in the circuit ampacity for standard residential outlets - typically, a 120v 15 amp plug will be wired in 14 gauge NM-B wire (romex), which alread

Haha, another PSR/Eric Brammer student maybe? I'm also on a tanker 200, F2 race TIs and an older pair of Deelux Track 325s. I keep waiting for a good deal on an f2 silberfeil or a not very aggressive Donek Axis to come up for sale

minerals in the snow / wind blown grit / rocks / banging around in the ski rack, the lift line, hitting poles, etc. You're right. Snow isn't hard enough, but, it's probably a mistake to assume it's just sn

A fellow hardbooter? I feel like the base size on snowboards benefits even more from good tuning than a lot of narrow race skis. And, obviously, you only have 1 edge instead of two, so the load on the edge is bigger. apropos of this discuss

Something that many people can do is add weights to a backpack. If you have a good backpack and you can add books/water/rocks etc you can squat with that. If the balance of the movement gets a little unwieldy, a slight heel lift b

This creates the same "cohort effect" you see in Ski season pass pricing. People who get a good deal from the pass and pay relatively little to go a lot, and people....who just don't go anymore. The whole model this is based

you are right. The thing that is interesting is that pumping loads overall take a lot of the grid's energy, it's just that most pumps are refrigeration loads, not water transport.
