Ah. There's an actual educational philosophy behind it. My aunt taught in a Montessori school for years, and everything she described was very different from a typical school. I don't think there are many Montessori schools that

The fastest way is immersion. Live for 3 months in a country where English is the primary language spoken. Spend your time among people who do not speak your first language at all. Failing that, spend at least half an hour every day speakin

Set all your expectations up front and explicitly as possible. That can be more awkward with family than colleagues but it's also more important. Resentment occurs when someone thinks they're doing more or getting less than they b

AFAIK the price shown in charts and as the current price is basically the price of the last completed trade. And that, yes, is based on how much people trying to sell can get for it, aka how much people trying to buy are willing to pay for

For a software team of a handful of people or more, nothing holds a candle to JIRA. It's a little intimidating to new users, and the setup time is ridiculous. I have one or two nitpicks about things like the unavailability of condition

But that's all else being equal. A company with a toxic culture or a toxic reputation is not equal to one with a world-class culture and sterling reputation.

And why is that number so low?

I see one in the article, which is wanting a single doctor to consistently be available through a course of treatment. But I don't see how 24 hours guarantees that any more than 16. I for one would rather my doctor worked 8 hours, went

Who thought this was a good idea, and why? Aren't our medical professionals the people we least want to be dangerously fatigued? Hasn't anyone read the literature on how sleep deprivation interferes with learning? Or how being up

Now if FF could just avoid pegging the CPU on what should be reasonably performant web apps, we'd be getting somewhere. It's even worse with multiprocess.

How many total hours per week is your team spending on customer support? Is it 20 or more? Hire a dedicated support person or agency, even if they're part time. Do you still want everyone else to have skin in the support game? Figure o

Nope. The signal to noise ratio on Reddit makes it a far worse time sink, and I've better things to do with my time.

Wow, I'm in the startup world and haven't heard of half the stuff you mentioned. The other half is my bread and butter. HN may not be the best place to get a sense of which technologies are worth using because it tends to mix the

I think a bit less about "can you fit into our society?" and more about "can you produce effectively given certain constraints and reward structures?"

I recently learned that the concept of cultural fit was originally about being a fit for the process and work culture, not about being best friends with one's teammates. What does that actually mean? Well, for instance, someone who wan

If you take a few months off to live on that money and learn something new, would it be enough to increase your earnings by $100k total over the next 5-10 years? That's also an investment, and one that's got a decent chance of dou

I agree with the rest of the advice, but buying a home is not a good investment in all parts of the country/world, nor at all times. A home you own decreases your mobility and thus your employment options, especially if the labor or ho

Ugh. No. Or rather, I don't feel obligated to attend all or even most of them. I do try to attend once a quarter or so as a way of expressing that I'm not above socializing with my teammates, just busy.

I have a few simple (Wordpress or simpler) PHP/MySQL sites that get a couple thousand pageviews/mo apiece. They don't need more than ~99.98% uptime. I spend $5/mo apiece to host them on a shared host (asmallorange.com, i

What if that event cost your company less than the additional redundancy required to avoid downtime from any such outage? What if the lost revenue from that event multiplied by its annual likelihood is less than the cost of avoiding it?
