   First para hits the nail on the head. The issue is: trust between managers and employees. Also, "work from home" paradigm will only succeed when management paradigm changes from managing time to managing outcome. And changing that

   Thank you for this! Fascinating. I’m curious ... 74000 years ago ... if we took a time machine and snatched a human child from that time and raised it today, would it be indistinguishable from a modern human? (Could I teach it - and it unde

   I have nothing to do with the website/product in question, but could you explain a bit more why you would "bounce" (assuming bounce means you would lose interest) if you didn't immediately see pricing information?

   This is the very definition of "super user" at some of the financial institutions I've worked at: someone who knows the traps, pitfalls and quirks of a highly complicated and fragile system that _mostly_ works. And they get p

   Blank is using the word "entrepreneur" more in the skill sense, the mindset sense - an identity. Someone who is given a wider canvas to express creative ideas and to solve problems than the narrow surface areas offered by traditio

   This is well articulated. I once had an unnecessarily heated argument with a BIL who didn't see the difference between what I called an "entrepreneur" (what you call a shovel maker) and a "trader" (the middle man).

    Thanks. I’ve been following this sub-thread with interest. I have very little theoretical understanding of the differences between imperative and declarative (functional) paradigms. I used this video to get a better understanding - I hope i

    I would think like this. Is my "grind": 1) About filling up a bucket that has a hole in it (same shit different day type of thing?) OR is my grind 2) About a journey I am on - and I've got a steep gradient ahead, a puncture

    Be Marcus Aurelius. Become a stoic. Think more of virtue than of success. Success is a hollow word, like in nutrition “it’s an empty calorie”. Rather focus on the virtues of your life. Those are life-giving, filled with “soul nutrients”. S

    I've spent the weekend watching videos of and reading about converting classic cars (VW Beetles, Porsche 911s and others) into electric powered vehicles (some of them gloriously restored!). It was exciting to learn this: 1. Electric co

    Can traditional languages like C, C++ and even Object Pascal support reactive programming? Or this is only implementable in functional languages?

    T-SQL has this as CROSS APPLY and OUTER APPLY. Like pgsql’s LATERAL JOIN, CROSS APPLY has been a game changer in the way you think iteration in sets. Highly recommended.

    Those product delineations exist currently. Macbook Air has always been touted as " high end specs, flexibility all with great portability". The Pro was sold as the mobile beast. There's some range confusion it seems.

    I walk away for a while. This helps me in 2 ways: 1) it helps answer if the problem is worth solving in the bigger picture 2) it allows me to approach the problem differently. (A new approach compared to head banging against walls)
