Being mostly into technical books and textbooks, I WOULD BUY BOOKS if the publishers didn't goddamn charge $300 for an undergrad textbook. I have no love for textbook publishers AND authors. They could all crash and burn for all I care

I see here a lot of generalities about good managers helping you prioritize work, shielding you from chaos, bringing organization to the team, etc. These are necessary, but not sufficient. Any reasonably well-organized, good-intentioned, an

Why do you see this as a negative? I quit being a software manager after 8 years and I couldn't be happier with my decision to do so. Being an individual contributor now has more upside. I am senior enough as an IC to influence decisio

With huge grade inflation in US universities, all students are already getting better grades than they really deserve. The amount of gymnastics that professors do to pass all students is insane. So, no student is really receiving a lower gr

I still remember "reading" his entire 1000-page C++ book for the sole purpose of finding an error on it, for which I was handsomely rewarded with a $32 check from Bjarne. Still not cashed. Good times...

Rippetoe should be required reading for anybody interested in strength training. I amusingly love his literal 60-page chapter on squatting alone. More seriously, I observed many times that the moment of starting to loose their muscle streng

Not really healthcare, but Harvard University, for example, with $30 billion endowment is a non-profit! And they don't pay property taxes even though they are the biggest land and property owners in Cambridge. Not for profit is just a

They are just not accurate. 25% variability is just not an acceptable level of accuracy. And their results are very dependant on temperature and humidity.

In my experience, dry-runs, at least in front of an insider audience, are not a real assessment of the content, nor the delivery. It doesn't feel natural as in front of the real audience. Any I rarely get any useful feedback anyway: al

This is absolute nonsense. Plants, nature, etc. will for sure make people feel better compared to sitting in front of a computer. They will not make you instantly stronger or weaker... I guarantee that no double-blind experiment will ever s

When I was a college student some 30 years ago, this poem was in my physics textbook. I made a hand-written copy of it to carry in my wallet because I loved it so much. I always thought that the book's author wrote it. This brought bac

I have no sympathy for doctors. They are a part of an exploitative system, and they know and accept it. Most of them are in it for money, in the first place. The experience that the author describes is not much different than a fancy lawyer

Unfortunately, people often confuse a smooth presentation (and clever presenter) with good content. The two are completely different things.

by beryilma 2y ago
I strongly believe that there are only two true rules when it comes to presentations: (1) know who your audience is, and (2) tell something that the audience will find useful. Not eloquent, cute, clever, or impressive; but useful (to them).
