We include code reviews in promo/annual review materials, and actually, reviews with unnecessary/nitpicky comments on them will count AGAINST you. Submitting shitty time-wasting reviews in the packet is worse than having no review

At my employer, we do "Code reviews help towards bonuses or promotions" -- we're required to include at least a few examples of good thoughtful code reviews into promotion and annual review materials. I think it's a good

Yes, I'd rather experience the pain but not remember it. I used nitrous for childbirth and it was helpful in early labor, but the pain pretty quickly reached a point where the nitrous barely touched it. Nitrous works great at the denti

Not gonna lie, if I had been offered this, I would've done it. It sounds pretty great to me. Regular childbirth is pretty horrible and I wish I didn't remember it. It sucks that as a result of women being forced to do twilight sle

I agree that someone working fewer days per week might be hard to fit into a full-time team culture, but someone working fewer hours per day ought to be pretty easy. For the "fewer hours per day" case, it's just like working

Mine are ANGST, PERKY, CHILD and JUMBO. It's interesting how many sets of 4 words with disjoint letters are out there. It took me quite a while to come up with my set, somehow I didn't realize there would be so many other sets tha

Not bad, just different. Many humans enjoy socializing with other humans in a workplace setting. It's ok that you don't like it, but that doesn't make this person a bad coworker.

If I hadn't had gifted classes to keep me intellectually stimulated, I probably would've been lighting things on fire during class in elementary school. I guess I would've found "the challenge in the mundane", but i

Are you saying you actually generate a positive income stream by showing large fire art at events? I'm impressed. :) When I've been involved in big art, it was a giant money pit, even before accounting for the thousands of hours o

I know you can design crease patterns with cuttle.xyz and import them into origamisimulator.org to watch them fold, although I haven't tried it personally. I can't imagine being able to do something as wildly complicated as the sa

+1. I have Siri, Alexa, and Google home devices in my house, and Siri is the best in terms of competence and privacy. Alexa feels like being bugged by a creepo who keeps trying to sell me stuff. (We got rid of the Alexa.)

The only thing worse than metrics is not having metrics.

Is there any action you can take based on this knowledge to change your outcome, or is it simply an unavoidable part of aging?

I don't think my skills are super applicable to working on climate change directly, so instead I work for big tech and donate to charities from this list. https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2019/12/2&#x2F

It seems like a pretty big jump from "wait a few days for air conditioner parts" to "modern life is no longer possible"!

I miss doing jigsaw puzzles with my coworkers. Online games don't feel the same. Culture things are mostly tiny and each seem like no big deal, but collectively, I do think it's really hard to replicate remotely.

I also drink Mount Hagen as my midgrade instant coffee-- I tried several varieties a while back and decided it's my favorite of them. It's not mind-blowing "wow I can't believe it's instant" like the Sightglass

If you're not very cost-conscious, you can get excellent instant coffee (e.g. Sightglass), but it'll cost you >$2.50/cup, much more than equivalent quality beans. Yet another instance of fast/cheap/good, pick two

This is my main concern with fake meats. The taste and texture are fine, the price point is acceptable, and I like the idea of not harming animals for my dinner, but I find it hard to believe that something with 20 highly-processed ingredie

I'm surprised that the IRB determined this to be not human subjects research. When I fill out the NIH's "is this human research" tool with my understanding of what the study did, it tells me it IS human subjects research

I'm not specifically an mRNA vaccine expert, but I have a biomedical science PhD, and my "generally well educated in this area" gut feeling is that mRNA vaccines are a simple, "clean" formulation with less chances f

If their symptoms are psychosomatic, but the vaccine cures those symptoms through the placebo effect, then what's the problem? They were genuinely suffering, and now they're not: the vaccine cured their long covid.

Can you give an example of a location where euthanasia is mandatory for doctors to perform, if the doctor doesn't want to perform that service?

Some other fields (e.g. long-running academic research experiments) involve a feedback loop of months or years. I've done experiments where the experiment subjects (mice, human cells, etc) look exactly the same for weeks and weeks, an
