   Paul's sister Jody running the joint now. She's probably more pragmatic than Paul was. Letting the craft go airborne was her homage to him and the team. But we have many players in this space doing better. Time to refocus

   I have an ipad 3 (yah the original ipad on its 3rd iteration). Apple was supporting os updates until fairly recently. The thing is that none of the modern apps tested or cared about something that old. So even if was technically supported t

   Lots of good stuff in this thread. I'll add: introduce the tech into their lives yourself. Don't wait for them to call you and tell you they just bought a laptop at Bestbuy (just for example). Educate them, appeal to their already

   My understanding is box sizes are sometimes selected for packing a container or truck so there are no gaps. Not saying we shouldn't reduce waste but cardboard is one of the most recycled products.

   Standup is one area where the engineers can affect the culture and the outcome. Expect that at the beginning of a project they can be long but as time goes on they can be quite short. Neither is good or bad, but it's important to keep

    I don't understand the downvotes, it's an accurate summation of the [edit result of his work]. The journey [edit: up to and including that result] was an interesting read.

    Except preservation on its own is not very useful. You need some sort of understanding of the data on many levels hence "archeology" (that may not be the best term but I think it gets the point across).

    Lots of good advice, I will add: revisit your own code from a previous project. Best place to learn about your own habits.

    I live by salt water. Salt water destroys everything. Sometimes quickly but always eventually. Ok, maybe not fish.

    This is pretty much about writing a cpu emulator. A system emulator is much more complex even as far back as a gameboy or Sega genesis. I think there is still great value in writing your own cpu emulator as described in the article.

    I wonder if this phenomenon is age related. I chose not to regulate my game playing hours to something "healthy" in my teens and my early twenties. As I aged it wasn't an issue. I guess this is a thing now? How about you&#x27
