If you take the "scientific consensus" at face value, it's more apt to use "vax denialist" or "nicotine is bad for health denialist" as an analogy, instead of "agile denialist".

Confused to see CEO of a big company just says the truth in simple terms. Did you pass that through legal? :) Thanks, yours, another loyal not-customer-support-harassing 5$/m DO customer.

There are two orthogonal "frog in a pot" tales. You've covered the first. The second is about the two frogs which fell into a bucket full of milk. We should get ourselves familiarized with both [0] :) [0] both stories, not fr

But it will only happen at the end of the century. Which, according to even conservative projections, will be way too late. I am taking the POV that we need to pray for the appearance of immediate, severe-yet-not-deadly impacts on our day-t

Though "earth's temperature" is indeed a spoken term that hides lots of complexity, let me assure you that under no scientific discussion it is understood to be "the midwest temperature". (hopefully this will not sh

It matters if said "global leaders" happen to manage loads of cash. When Blackrock's CEO states his firm will divest away from fossil fuels in 2020, this has (sadly imo) roughly the impact of e^9 climate scientists ringing al

It's educational to read waze's verbose privacy policy which goes over what is collected and why. Assuming good faith here, this is one of the best privacy statements I've read. https://www.waze.com/legal&#x2F

WA solves a problem that doesn't exist if all your contacts use an iphone. And it hadn't exactly "not penetrated" NA, there are probably tens of millions of users. But it's definitely not "the default mode of c

That developers are the only people on earth (possibly with the exception of flight controllers? I just don't know any) who actually understand what time is and what a clock does.

You nailed it in the first sentence. The blog post pretty much boils down to "k8s looks good but we were too lazy to learn how to use the thing, so we opted into something else". Fair enough, legit argument, but trying to make a &

There's also no drop-in replacement for the G-docs suit, nor for google-play of course. Firebase has no alternative. Google got some pretty useful things up there.

For me it's the definition of complexity. Something that has many parts is complex. If I want to dig into "how my angular app works", I can't, because I cannot browse 2500 npm packages on github to find out what they are
