Funny, I started woodworking partially because I was doing less development (more on the management side). Woodworking scratches that "build something" itch. Plus, it has a high SAF (spouse approval factor). If I spend a Saturday

As a layperson in AI, that makes total sense. Programs are things humans invented and can reason about. Even complex ML agents ultimately derive from concepts humans came up with. So it stands to reason we can make them do things that are c

What percentage of consumers want that? I’m guessing the market is close to zero.

Yeah, but Wi-Fi for a tv makes sense. It’s borderline mandatory for the way people consume content these days. Wi-Fi for fridges is available, but no one seems that bothered by it.

Very much depends on what "reasonable effort" looks like. If product management think it's "just point lucene at the DB.. maybe a sprint or two", then you're in for an interesting conversation....

I think that, in practice, locking the frame and rear wheel is enough to deter most bike thieves. Yes, they could steal the front wheel, but it's hardly worth the effort. It's difficult to sell, and you can't get away quickly

Isn't that putting an undue load on parents? It seems extremely unfair that parents of young black men should have to work extra hard to tell their kids they're not destined to be criminals. Hell, it's not fair on parents of

The fact is that experienced back country skiers are more likely to die in an avalanche. Part of this is complacency, but honestly most of it is just probability. The more you do something, the more chances you have for just the wrong combi

Seems like it would add to the cost, but I'm behind this on general principle!

I'm guessing you mean they should post drafts of opinions to github (your sentence could mean either). I think it's entirely reasonable not to post drafts until they're ready. Hell, even on github, you (generally) don't

I have a friend that owns a cafe. They tried metal straws for exactly the reasons you outline. Problem was: they're expensive and people steal them!

>> Any movie that does well with critics or at a film festival has “a strong message” or “teaches us something”. Seems arbitrarily limiting. I'd say you're missing out on some pretty cool and entertaining movies. If you don&

A couple of things: People today confuse reviews with criticism . The two are not the same. A review is a consumer recommendation, i.e. should you pay to see this movie? Criticism is discussion of a piece of art. Both are inherently subj

For the record, that is not at all what I was arguing. I was arguing that completely unrestricted speech allows ideas that we really don't want (Nazism, etc) to become normalized. This isn't even controversial; it's a well

That seems highly unlikely. I would say that the debate over transgender rights (bathrooms, etc) is in a similar cultural position to gay marriage a few years ago (i.e. liberals are fine with it, centrists are coming round to the idea and h

Couldn't agree more. Especially if your app is business critical for your clients.

Unfortunately, this kind of thing is almost impossible to deal with from a grass roots angle. Unless you have a culture that values these things from the top down, you're going to give yourself a concussion banging your head on a brick

This is great in principle, BUT.... it only works when the dev team are given the time and automony to prioritise the work. While many organisations pay lip service to uptime and reliability, the reality is that those are not sexy or exciti

Even if we don't have direct computer to brain comms yet, the fact remains that most people now have constant access to any information accessible on the internet. At some point, we are going to have to figure out how to test understan
